I bought another Pixel 2 XL. Hoping some of the issues from the earlier batches are cleared up. I got a brand new one with an a May 2018 build date for $500. Got the Panda 64gb again. Let's see if the third time's a charm!

Just sign up for alerts and people sell them for cheap sometimes. Just gotta be fast.
So is anyone still running a P beta on their Pixel 2 / XL?
How is the experience? Have you turned off the navigation buttons and are going full gesture?
Is it stable?
Sorry for all the questions! I feel a bit out of the loop with it all so thought I'd check in.

I've had a great experience and I like the gestures. It's very stable.
That's promising to hear in regards to the gestures. They don't look that intuitive upon first glance.
Oh, you will have to take a couple minutes to learn them. But once you do use them, they're extremely functional. The best example, to me, is just scrolling through the apps you have open vs bring up multitasking then scroll.
Keep us posted! I'm very curious as to see if the newer build date has cleared up some of the issues. I, personally, went through two earlier (very close to launch) devices and eventually got rid of the second one due to being so fed up with it. I'm currently using an Essential PH-1 and like the phone, but yeah, I do miss the Pixel 2 XL mainly because of the camera.
Still using the first P beta. Having a few quirks here and there but usable. Twitter does have issues. Not sure if it's the app but it often lags stuttering and will just dump me to a black screen for a second while my desktop comes back.
I'm also rooted on it.

I did the same for $540, love Swappa. Build date was April 2018 and it was brand new. From the photos the screen looks great. Google apparently has fixed the screen flashing issue with the June update, which was my only remaining issue with the P2XL. I love my S9 but the battery life (or lack thereof) is really annoying me. Also the double apps and home screen / software layout has started to annoy me. Sure I could install Nova, but I've started to miss the Pixel. Hope you enjoy yours! Mine delivers tomorrow.
Well this device built in may still has blue shift just as bad as the other two I had last year. Color me disappointed.
I just watched this video:
And my my - I LOVE the look of this build!
It looks so good.

Can you easily swipe up once to access your app drawer in Android P's gestures?
I like what they've done with multi-tasking, but overall, the gestures still look unintuitive and a halfway attempt. I wish they figured out a full gesture solution.

Considering the screen lottery of the iPhone X, "only" some blue shift is a minor thing. All OLED phones have some shift at an angle. It can be FAR worse. Pink edges, pink hue, poor uniformity, yellow tint. Some blue shift is the least offensive issue an OLED phone can have. In my humble opinion.
Exactly! People are keeping their expectations REALLY high. Most OLED phones are not going to be pristine like Samsung phones. I’m sorry to say. My phone does have black crush but no other OLED issues I can see. The Pixel 2 is still my favorite Android phone i’ve ever used. Installing Beta 3 now!
It’s a ton of blue shift on all three I’ve tried. I’ve seen others that have less but I haven’t gotten that lucky yet. I’ll be back for pixel 3 but I’m done with the the 2/2xl
That sucks, yes some are better in this regard than others. Hopefully Pixel 3 will be the one. It'll be a day 1 buy for me.
Oof. My biggest issue with my previous two Pixel 2 XL's was not only blueshift but a lot of graininess and the black crush with low brightness levels. The display just didn't feel crisp and that sucked. Guess I'm going to stick with my Essential Phone until the Pixel 3. Hopefully the 3 won't be as problematic as the 2 XL.
