Almost 8 hours of SOT yesterday as it went to 8% before I went to bed. Love the battery life on this phone compared to my aging S6 Edge.
Yea if you don't get your order in on the day of the event they are scarce after. I got 2 on the 4th of October right after they announced it. They were also available for a while that day. After that they weren't in stock much longer. They popped in and out every week or so.I got tired of waiting for white Pixel 2 along with the white Pixel buds to come back in stock on the Google store website so I bought unlocked iPhone 8 along with AirPods. This is the second time I bought iPhone over Google Nexus/Pixel phone because of Google Store sub par inventory and terrible ordering process. I think the last time it was with Nexus 4. Maybe I'll try again to buy Google phone in couple of years. It's crazy when you're trying to give money to a company and buy their product yet they can't get their act together.
I was trying to wait for some reviews before buying. I wasn't sure if I wanted the smaller Pixel 2 or the larger XL but after the reviews and all the problems with the XL screens and quality control, it clearly helped me decide on the smaller Pixel 2. But now, white Pixel 2 is out of stock as are the white Pixel buds. And dumb Google won't even let you place an order and wait. So you have to keep checking back to see if you can place an order. What kind of stupid system is that? At least Apple will let you place order even if the item is backordered for 6-8 weeks.Yea if you don't get your order in on the day of the event they are scarce after.

And if they had let me order 2 days ago, I would've bought it. I don't see the logic in not letting someone order a product unless it's discontinued. Provide estimate shipping date and take the order. Don't lock people from even ordering. That's just dumb business.Panda version is in stock as of right now.
Mine is out for delivery now. Wahoo.My free Home Mini is sitting at home waiting for me. Anyone else get their's yet?
Same. Also loving my Home Mini. The broadcast feature is surprisingly useful.Mine is out for delivery now. Wahoo.
I'm still loving my Pixel 2. By far the best phone I've set my hands on. May not look as cool as the S8 or the iPhone X, but at the end of the day, it meets every practical need in spades.
It will not broadcast Netflix to my Sony Bravia tv. It says it can't cast to Android TV yet. But it will turn on the TV and cast YouTube to it. I also use it to turn on my lights right as I get home because this damn new apartment doesn't have any light switches where I'd want to plug in lamps.Same. Also loving my Home Mini.

Yeah I have a Mi Box and it said the same thing to me. But the Mi Box is annoyingly buggy so I also have a Chromecast plugged into the same TV. I'll be stoked once they add Plex support for voice casting.It will not broadcast Netflix to my Sony Bravia tv. It says it can't cast to Android TV yet.

For music it's loud. I can set the phone down in the living room with Max volume and it will fill the whole 2 bedroom apartment with sound. The alarm is low for some reason. Speakers on this thing are the best I've had on any phone. Better than the Nexus 6 and the 6p.How is the Pixel 2 XL audio output VOLUME wise. The Nexus 6P was real quiet. I read that the Pixel 1 was also low volume. Getting the LG V20 was refreshing. How is the Pixel 2 doing in this department?
