    I remember when this phone was new. I actually didn't like it at the time and went with a Motorola. When the Pixel A series phones came out, I got a pixel 3a and had a pixel ever since. I miss the fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone that also had built in gestures. I currently have the pixel 6a and will use it until I drop it and break the screen. Long live the pixel A series 😊

    I hated my 2XL the weak screen, loose thumbprint scanner, first power button to actually fail since the S3 (for me) no wifi repeating, insane amounts of wierd limitations with different companies and banks, it felt slow after the first 4months of having it, the wifi and signal antenna was so weak (now this is gonna get nit picky) i swear the charge port clogged more than it does now on my S10
    That being said, actually decent Batt, love the camera software and the useful ease of access (squeeze for assistant, slide down thumbprint for the hot bar, keeping your hand for constantly moving from the top to bottom)
    If you are not from London or Manchester i wouldn't recommend, outside of the bug cities this phone is close to useless, even on my home street sometimes couldn't make calls without going outside... and i aint in some rural farm land or anything either

  • @LaztheFox
    @LaztheFox Год назад +1

    i always loved the design of this phone in photos, i was too young to by one myself when it came out, but i feel like it was a sweet spot of design and utility.
    even if the screen didn't get to the edges like with phones nowadays, those bezel had true stereo speakers, both pointed at you, which is something you can't do now that the screen covers most of the front of phones today.
    i bought myself a pixel 6a because i think it reflects the panda style of the 2xl with the camera bar, while giving me a smaller phone with some more updates to come, and I'm happy with it :)
