Currently on DP3 and loving it, but for some reason the DP4 OTA update just isn't there for me yet. I keep refreshing and checking for system update, and it searches for a minute, and says there's no update available.
CarPhoneWarehouse having a sale at the moment and have reduced the price of the Pixels - again!
Regular Pixel - £499.
XL - £549.
Very very reasonable.
P20 Pro's are down to £669 but for some reason the blue Pro model is only £629 in Currys (sister company).
Again, very good.
Galaxy S9 - £619
Also extremely reasonable.
Note 8 still £869. Just lol.
The reason I post in here is because those Pixel prices are really quite good for anyone in the UK looking to pick one up.

I've noticed that, occasionally, I have to restart my Pixel 2 XL on the latest P beta because scrolling becomes sluggish and the battery is occasionally bad around the time that the phone heats up for no reason.
Am I alone?

Both the P20 and Pixel 2XL will come down in price this fall. Anyone who can, should wait.
I think there's something wrong with my phone. It just shut off in the middle of me using it.
It happens.

I used to think it was just q.c. Issues but it’s something else.
Hope google sorts it out for you.
That’s lucky, personally I would never use a pixel without an iPhone. Not very reliable at the end of the day.
Still don't have the OTA update for DP4. It still showing the current June 5th patch only, which is DP3 that I'm running.
it's strange a good number of people here have had issues with the phone or betas. Mine is virtually fault free. Sometimes I wonder "are my standards really low?". Then I snap back into reality and go through the past headaches I've had with previous Android phones. I guess I'm just lucky with the Pixel 2XL.
Rocking DP4 now, and holy cow, just so nice. Smooth. Fast. No issues so far, absolutely daily driver ready. Zero bloatware, zero lag. It just works
In my opinion, this is the best Android has to offer, I'll take a Pixel 2 XL running Android P DP4 over any new Galaxy S9+, or HTC U12, or LG G7.

Why do you prefer it over the Samsung offerings? I'm interested as I like the Samsungs but tempted by pure Android.
wanted to try the pixel 2 xl again. Ordered it last Tuesday and received it last Friday. I love the camera but the built quality is trash. Mine came with a nice speck of dust behind the camera and a dead pixel. I'm not sure its worth trying a replacement.
Googles quality control is horrible. It took me 4 replacements before I got a P2 XL without issues.
Yeah it's bizarre. Got my 2 XL from Gumtree (like Craig's List) for a bargain price and I haven't had a single problem with it, other than that screen crush thing at night - which basically works better for me as I shouldn't use my phone in bed!!
Been very lucky, fully acknowledge a lot of people haven't, especially with earlier builds.
Question: If you buy a Pixel 2 from Verizon, and then take that to a GSM network, how do software updates work? Will you still get it direct from Google and at the same time as unlocked Pixel 2's?
And do you need to get an unlock code from Verizon when you make the move to leave them?
Thanks in advance...

The Verizon Pixel is unlocked for all carriers. All updates come from Google. The only thing locked down on a Verizon Pixel is the boot loader. TMK there is not a way to unlock that.
