^This is why I've been wary about returning to Android, the battery optimization is just terrible.

Usually end the day with 14 hours since last charged and about 3.5 hours screen time. With about 20% battery left?
So far using the phone for the last couple of weeks, didn't have to resort to using a power bank to get through the day.

I don't have a reference, because I've never experienced 7.0.
Also for the above remarks about the speakers, it actually does suck. I've had a Blackberry Priv and that was a lot better, granted it was front facing stereo speakers. | damn, they gave me new charger, cables and sim card tool.

Just sold my Pixel XL. I'm surprised I actually kept it this long. The hardware isn't good, the design is bleh. I'm hoping LG does a better job on the Pixel XL2 than HTC did. Only thing it had going was the latest Android OS 8.0 which i hated. Switched back to S7 Edge / S8+ combo and waiting to see what comes. S7 Edge is lighter, thinner, and way smaller for the same screen size.

Battery isn't as bad as people made it seem. But like I said, I don't have a reference point. On the bright side, compared to my Priv with 3410 mAh, I have yet to need to charge the pixel.
Both phones finished charging at ~ 8:30. Priv was running data + hotspot the entire day, but pixel was used primarily for photos with WiFi on. Ended up having to charge the Priv in the car.
IDK why Pixel shows only 12 hrs of being on battery.  
Edit: Just noticed pixel shows 29% on the graph, but I only have 19% left? My only gripe about Oreo so far is that I can't tap the battery to get more info, like I was able to on 6.0

my XL has been lagging a bit since the Oreo upgrade
i too have noticed slightly worse battery life
I still prefer HTC over LG/Samsung/Huawei though...smaller bezel and hence smaller size, front speakers and waterproof is all it needs

Anyone using an aftermarket wall adapter and haven't burned their house down? Since the phone didn't come with one, I need to buy one.

Alphabet is going to uptake the Pixel team from HTC for a billion dollars
makes me wonder why they went to LG this year to build the XL Why Google?s HTC deal may be different than the Motorola bomb - MarketWatch | |

don't notice a difference on the XL but it has tempered glass and case on the back
Oreo has been the glitchiest version of Android I've used in 6 years...disappointing update

I don't have reference point, but it seems surprisingly hot for a Google phone. :/

Battery life is surprisingly good. Same battery size as last phone, but last phone was on 6.x. I'm getting at least a full day of usage. At 32% rn, left this morning with 89%

Based on the prices they are offering, you should get more on the secondary market. Good option for people who just want to get rid of it I guess. Quote:

trade in program Quote:
Trade-in prices for the Pixel and Pixel XL are now live on the Google Store, so you can see what you're likely to get if you swap your first generation model for the one of new devices coming October 4th.
The price ranges are as follows:
Pixel 32GB – $150.00 - $350.00
Pixel 128GB – $152.00 - $360.00
Pixel XL 32GB – $160.00 - $400.00
Pixel XL 128GB – $162.00 - $410.00
These are just estimates, it's important to note, and the actual amount will depend on the condition of the phone. Those numbers could also change by the time the new phones are launched, but they should give you a good ballpark figure. They're actually not too bad, even if only adding an extra $10 for the 128GB model over 32GB seems a little unfair.

is that CAD or USD?
the vanilla 32GB might be worth trading in...everything else should try selling on classifieds first
