Every smart phone is boring now a days. They all do the same crap. Google was never known for their design and innovation in the looks department.This, to me, is the most boring smartphone this year, followed by the LGV30.

I would need to go see it in store as well as the iPhone X. I just don't like how they put the finger reader so up high near the camera..or am I thinking of something else?Speak for yourself, I think the s8 look and feel great. I mean you won't know how it feels if you don't have one, but I haven't been impressed with a phone like this in a few generations.
The renders I have seen all showed very little bezel on the sides and very small amount of bezel on the top and bottom.Yeah, that fingerprint sensor placement is a deal-breaker on an otherwise stunning design. For me. Millions of people don't seem to mind. But I would hate it, because I would smudge the camera constantly.
As far as the front of the XL goes, I am putting faith in the AP render; they were pretty spot-on last year. Which means minimal bezels on top and bottom, and something very close to if not an actual left-right edge-to-edge screen. The regular Pixel is still rumors, but those are pointing to a redux of last year.
The price hike has me a bit sad, but I am hoping that they at least bring in all the missing flagship features. It's still my most compelling phone of 2017.

There has to be a point where i stop caring about the latest stuff since pretty much any mobile device you can get now does what you need it to do.
GSMArena said:Here's the bad news. The source of these renders says the Pixel 2 XL will cost $849 with 64GB of storage, and $949 if you want 128GB. Those are the only storage options that you'll get. The starting price is $80 north of what Google was charging for the Pixel XL from last year, but you do get twice the storage (2016's handset had 32GB). There's no such added bonus for the 128GB iteration - in this case it's a straight-up $80 price hike.
I didn't like the design of the current pixels at all. So much wasted space with those bezels. At least these ones reduced some of that. I also didn't like how the fingerprint reader was inside that glass top portion. At least with pixel 2 xl has similar looks to the 6p which I think looks fine.
Fugly as it can get. Plus this:

Samsung phones this year seem like a bargain.
Will this have wireless charging?
Nope gone. Google is also releasing wireless google assistant earbuds. I wish they would be included that would be a nice surprise.headphoone jack?
well then i guess im buying a V30Nope gone. Google is also releasing wireless google assistant earbuds. I wish they would be included that would be a nice surprise.
V30 is a good option, it's a little less and if you need the headphone jack it's there. I hate any third party Android UI system so I can't have that option.well then i guess im buying a V30
Let's hope google does this right this year and actually has stock. Unlike last year where you waited months for a pixel to become available yet even after that they were barely available. They are also the last to release so hopefully this design wasn't done in 9 months like the original pixels were.lopri should check links that are posted. Why bother re-hashing information? We're all already discussing that.
And @Capt Caveman, I like the sensor placement on the back, but I think Samsung's placement is downright idiotic. It's right next to the camera. It's only marginally better on the Note 8. The way Google's been placing it makes perfect sense for me.
As for me, I like the panda XL a lot. And so does the missus. Especially if it does have that orange power button. We're both getting cases this time around, so that the minion doesn't destroy them, so the pattern will matter less.
This is only on Dave Ruddock's Twitter (an AP editor), but he claims the prices of the XL are still being discussed at Google. Apparently they were anticipating a higher price on the iPhone 8/8+. We'll see. I hope it does come back down (to matching iPhones, anyway), but the XL is still the phone I'm getting this year. For the length of time I keep a phone, down to my preferences, it will always be a Google phone, for better or worse.
What I honestly hope is that all the people moaning in the AP and DL articles actually follow through and don't purchase the Pixel XL. Give me a fighting chance, since we're both at work when these phones go live.
Same here. If it were some other company, it would be just another forgotten phone amid a sea of Android phones. What sucks most about it, is it's Google. The company behind Android, that should push every android advantage and set a clear course.This, to me, is the most boring smartphone this year, followed by the LGV30.
