Personally I love your review. Very cool. Anyone upgraded to the 2 XL from the Nexus 5X - was it worth it?

Migrated from the 5X to the non-XL version, the Pixel 2 (same camera AFAIK). Totally worth it. The basic picture quality (using HDR on both phones) is not that much better with the Pixel 2, because HDR mode is working wonders on the 5X already. But the (compared to the 5X) incredible processing speed and tons of other features like portrait mode, "rapid fire" series and motion photos really are impressive. The Pixel 2 is a tiny bit smaller than the 5X (screen loses .2 inches), but I got used to that very quickly.

I went with the XL and am very happy with it. The screen is so much nicer than the 5X - seems much more neutral colours. Camera is great and I like the slightly larger screen. All the issues reported earlier are totally non-issues for me, so far at least.
