    What is a rug anyway? It seems like every pixel has some sort of weird “don’t worry about it” QC issue.

        Huh, I’ve got the Pixel 2 XL and updated the Camera app with no issue. I guess it’s just the normal Pixel 2?

        The Pixel 2 XL had a blueish tint to the screen which meant I could get it very cheap but they fixed the issue in a software update.

        Still waiting on them to release a new Pixel that doesn’t suck. I just want one with a rear fingerprint sensor. Is that so much to ask?

      I had to return a Pixel 6 I bought because 5G works only on the region the phone was sold in 🤦 what a load of BS. Even 4G+ wouldn’t work!

        That’s more of a band issue, different regions operate on various frequencies. Buy the phone from your region or make sure it supports the necessary bands on your network before buying.

          This is why I tend to like the “a” models more. They are usually the phones from the previous year with some of the personality ironed out.

          At least they were the last time I bought one, but that was a 4a, and I have literally not found a reason to upgrade it to anything since then. I will use it until it dies.
