The Google support callback feature is great, and getting an RMA was relatively easy -- however, my RMA unit was worse than my original -- the screen would periodically flicker off/on. Ended up keeping my original. Seems like the RMA is outsourced to some random company, can't even remember the name.
Coming from iPhone, I like Android better, and the Google Assistant is vastly superior to Siri, but the hardware is still second-rate.
It has been a week since I've got my Pixel 2 XL and I can't agree with you more. Both mine and wife's phone flicker when screen is locked and it is getting really annoying. Considering the price of the phone, this is not acceptable.
- My Pixel 2 xl speaker is awful when compared to an iPhone. Many users report the same: https://www.google.com/search?q=pixel+2+speaker+rattle
- My Pixel 2 xl proximity sensor will occasionally malfunction, causing the screen to go black when making a call. Also, well documented: https://www.google.com/search?q=pixel+2+proximity+sensor
