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

My Nexus 5x bootlooped so I bit the bullet and got the 2XL. The camera is even better than the 5x and that's saying something. The screen is fine. The speed is like butter. The squeeze for Google Assistant is very convenient. The fingerprint reader is in just the right place and is lighting fast. I'm very pleased with the phone, except that I would have gone a bit smaller. But I didn't like the large bezels on the regular 2.

I probably would have waited another year except for the failure of my 5x. Google gave me a credit of $115 for the old 5x.
