BGR drops massive turd all over Pixel 2 XL due to Apple induced diarrhea. - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

http://bgr.com/2017/10/19/google-pixel-2-xl-review-vs-iphone-x-comparison/
So, it's been quite a long time since I've visited BGR. I stopped reading after one of the site reformats long ago, as the new layout was unappealing and I hated all the new clickbait ads. I came across this article on a generic Google search of the P2XL. Once I read the title of his 'review' - "Google can’t make a good phone and it’s embarrassing" - I thought to myself "Well, that's a good way to draw my attention". Especially given the mostly good reviews I've read so far. Looking forward to a productive counter perspective, I read the article. I will say, it is certainly a different perspective. It is also piss poor journalism.
I often value criticism about products, especially from any news site bold enough to do so (lest they be ostracized by OEMs, or even threatened by lawsuits for bad reviews - as happens regularly in the hi-fi/high end audio world). Despite the URL link containing "google-2-xl-review-vs-iphone-x-comparison", and even the title of the article, he's not really doing a review of the Pixel 2 XL here. Hell, it's even a country mile from being a comparison. It is just a rant about how Jon hates Android and round corners.
If you're going to write an article and call something trash, you need to back up your opinion.** Explain WHY you think what you do. With facts. Leave subjectivity out of it. Your rant about round corners on the P2XL makes little sense, for example, given your site's heaping praise of the iPhoneX.

Look at all those round corners...
If the sole reason the P2XL sucks is because certain things are done better by an iPhone, then I'll argue that the inverse is also true. The iPhone sucks because Android phones do things better too. It's circular reasoning about very subjective points, and is basically meaningless.
I really hope your articles improve Jon. I don't mind opinion pieces, but don't be a sophist and mislead readers by calling this a review or comparison. Back up your opinion with more logic and less venom. As Editor-in-chief you should demand better of yourself.**
Cheers.
** Well, you do if you expect anyone to take you seriously, anyway.

I stopped looking at anything from BGR because everything is biased, incorrect, poorly written, or some combination of those 3. Add in their click bait headings and I'm surprised anyone visits anymore, but then I remember the current administration in DC and realize the type of people that are probably keeping the site alive.

Even I read that article from bgr. The title made me read through it and it totally sounded a frustrated and biased review. To hold ground for readers, author mentions at start that he's been using Android for over 10 years. It is clearly one sided rant and made me skip future articles from bgr. Total nonsense.

Are you really using an IPhone commenting on an article about the Pixel 2 on XDA Developer?

The article is trash, Most if not all reviews are after spending a week to 5 days with the device BGR is not that. Why would they even review if there not fans of Android? They only have negative things to say.

I quit their site years ago. I'd like to see what they said, but I won't give them the click.

BGR has biases all over and they suck as a site. They also do political commentary which no one cares about. You’re a tech site. Review and speak tech unbiased and that’s that. They suck and that’s why no one listens anymore

What's wrong in that? Did I offend you or other Android users? iPhone 7 plus is my current phone and I'm waiting for my pixel 2 xl. Till I get mine, I'll use what I have. How does it make a difference where I comment and with what device?

THIS.
BGR articles show up in the Google News and Weather app and I refuse to even click on them. I gave them up years ago because of stuff like this. The site does not deserve any clicks. It should re-brand itself as an Apple fan site and then it'll at least be a little more honest about its intentions and purpose.

On the topic of crapping all over the pixel, did y'all see JerryRigEverything's durability test? Like, bro, stop crapping on the Pixel's 'lack of features' and stick to durability.
I'm loving this phone so far. Coming from Note 8, really digging it overall!

The comments on BGR are almost as bad as the PhoneArena comments...

BGR is a trash website. A lot of their "articles" contain one sentence of actual information, and three paragraphs of filler content. And their headlines are by far the worst click bait I've ever seen.

Oh I read it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Around here people bash iPhone people all the time. As a person who changes it up every few phones from android to iPhone and back. I appreciate both and what they bring. Yet people have aligned themselves with one or the other like its a religion and bash the other. It’s the most ridiculous thing.

People need to prioritize, they critisize it because it does not have a dual core CPU but really what good is that going to do, its a phone. It isnt like any Android app is that CPU intensive.
no HD video, doesnt matter either, HD video on phones still isnt anywhere comparable to a HD video camera. the resolution may be there but the quality isnt.
I for one rather take on time and priority Android updates over anything else.
I do like this phone, and glad i sold my N1 before the market for N1's shot down.

Damn you!!!!! Lol, I just bit the bullet on eBay on my N1, and yes, prices are lower, I took $50 less than I would've a week ago.
And criticizing something they dont own is the same thing people did with the G2, then people found out it was a really great device. It doesn't help companies or end users when people prematurely "bastardize" a device.

I got the Nexus one when it first came out... read the forums briefly... but I only remember people complaining about battery issues... like it would die with so-so hours.

The Nexus 1 got ripped in its first few weeks for its dodgy clearpad 2000 screen which has support for only two touches at a time and its overlapping axis... This just shows you people are never satisfied. The N1 is one of the most important phones in history
JD
I absolutely agree. before I got the phone I read so much crap left and right. All the whining about dual core, no sd, etc...I buckled down sold my N1 and bought the Nexus S the first day and there is no looking back! best move I could have made. The phone is awesome, it's already rooted and will give you the best android experience without the bloatware(sense, touchwiz). Technology moves so fast and people are never happy. Right now, this phone kicks ass!!!

I used to hate Samsung phones (especially regular phones), but this one seems to be the best phone from Samsung and it looks very cool.
No memory card is the only thing I don't like.
I still think Google and Samsung could have done better than this. LOL. LOL
Anyhow, it sounds to me that if you already got rid of your Nexus One you don't have a choice but to now love your Nexus S.

I think this is the first topic I've read without reading a single post whining about this or that. Kudos to everyone in this topic and the whiners that didn't post in this topic. I say whiners because I see it in almost every single damn topic I read through.
I agree. Hopefully in a few weeks or so we'll see all the naysayers and doomsayers pass.
One day and we already have boot unlock (though that was admittedly pretty simple), custom recovery, root, and an optimized kernel. I only see bright things in this device's future, but that might just be the amazing screen!

Not sure why people are hating on it so much. I havent taken my hand off it for a couple hours and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth my hard earned $560

1st commercial by Samsung for the S2

"Samsung Mobile" (from Facebook) just posted the 1st add for the Galaxy s2 on YouTube:
It can't be too much longer folks!
If only the phne truly was waterproof like the advertisment.
Samsung logo, here it is
Yep, that was posted a few days back in another thread. Looks nice and sexy.
It was leaked a few days ago but now we've got it from Samsung Mobile directly, so that's a good sign indeed!

Do you know those Red Bull commercials that "supposed give you wings"?
What if one of those commercials had a young kid jump off a building thinking he could fly?
Ok, maybe bad analogy but this commercial will have naive people thinking this phone is water-proof.
There are other ways to show the the brilliant display without confusing people and thinking what may or may not damage the phone

Nice commercial; they're realizing that the average consumer doesn't need to be blown away by specs and CG graphics to buy the product. I hope they make more that showcase the qualities of the phone but they are heading in the right direction.
I fail to see how Moto continuously makes the spec oriented adds for the Xoom when Apple is winning the hearts of many with it's emotionally attached and "awe inspiring" commercials of the iPad 2.

well that's kinda simple...
the Tech oriented commercials are trying to attract the geeky / nerdy cloud of consumers (Us here people on forums)
the Awe, Cute, Funny, Nice, etc type commercials are aimed to the regular home user that knows nothing about the phone, they just want something that looks great, and works, and fully packed with features they don't even use.
and Samsung is doing well in the 2nd type of commercials
This is .. The worst ad ever !! The worst ad ever !!

I know this, but as you can see with the sales numbers, the Xoom isn't selling THAT well. People are quick to forget that "we" make up a small percentage of the market and that isn't where companies need to advertise.
Think about it, how many people who actually know what those specs mean wouldn't already know about the Xoom? The point of a commercial isn't to advertise to your target audience (of course it is, in a way) because we are already "sold".
With new products like these, they should be going for the average Co sumer, one who doesn't know about the tablet and is wondering why they should get that over the iPaD.

MIUI phone

Anyone see the new miui phone? Sounds like a beast. 1.5 ghz snapdragon, 4 gigs of rom and best part in my opinion is they said you can flash any rom you want. One down side for me is from the front it looks like a crappy iPhone.
it's not an Iphone and that is what matters to me.

Don't know why ppl always bashing the iPhone...for what it is it does it well..solid construction, great battery life, very good camera, tons more apps and games than android, sharp screen, and the best support (connectivity and accessories). Only downside to me is the small screen. If the iPhone 5 comes to sprint and with at least a 4 inch screen, I would trade my evo in a heartbeat. For a multimedia phone, it practically does everything well.

Sorry man but a phone that needs a rubber band around it or a special grip to get a signal doesn't fall under good construction to me. And I also hate how Jobs uses old technology and claims its revolutionary with each build. I think I hate Jobs and all his douch fallowers more than the iPhone itself. Just my 2 cents though. To each his own
Edit: and you can't really say multimedia without flash player.....

now this is what we call a fanboy....what are things you can't do when it's not jailbroken? it's no difference than saying you can't do much on android unless it's rooted. I have owned many different phones and brands through-out the 11 years I've owned a cell phone and am not biased towards any OS or manufacturer. I give props where props are due and even though I hate the people that use Apple products and worship the ground steve jobs walk on, I'd admit their iphone in many aspects are better than my evo. I already stated the positives earlier in this thread so I'm not going to repeat it again.

The problem with iPhone is iOS. Even after a JB the possibilites are far less than a stock unrooted Android. The reason most people root Android is not to enable certain things they were locked out of, but to run (and experiment with) custom roms.
Out of the box you can do tons with Android, like changing keyboards, launchers, photo galleries, handlers for sending files, widgets and tons more, that would never be possible on iOS.
iPhone + iOS is a synergistic combo that's very well designed, great usability, battery life and exceptional support from app developers and 3rd party accesories. But it is not a platform for people who like to customize their devices or need more control, and those limitations are not going away anytime soon.
Does every topic on these forums have to turn into flame fests about the iPhone or Sprints network or just general trolling?
Damn dude.

Enough with the negativity on this phone

I am sick and tired of reading negative comments/pages on this phone. I do not own this phone as of yet but I know for a fact this isn't a piece of junk. It is the best smartphone HTC has put out as of yet and its hands down argubally one of the best smartphone out now. Can we please share what the positives are about this phone ?? What we LIKE and LOVE. I want to read about what makes this phone the ONE rather then scaring people off with the negativity, especially the ones who are hesitant on buy this phone.

The only reason why these forums are so negative is because not everyone is going to write about the positives because they have nothing to gain. When people write about negatives, they are searching for answers or advice if that makes sense. There is only a small herd that is bashing the phone but the only reason why it seems everyone is doing it is because they are the most vocal

Ok well it has a great screen, its unbelievably sharp. I personally could see the pixels on a Retina, or SAMOLED screen at about 300DPI, but i really cannot seem them on this screen. You do not see aliasing on any angles at all, ever.
The TV remote function is great, it works, from a distance, which i didnt think it would. The TV app is pretty good to.
The sound output is very nice. Typical Beats (a bit of muddy bass), but if you like that, its really nice. The bundled headphones seem to be Beats headphones in a cheaper housing. Its LOUD, both from the stereo speakers and the headphones, something very few phones are.
It seems to playback almost any type of file at any bit-rate, as long as you use a third party app. My S3 wouldnt play a lot of the stuff ive tried on the One.
Build quality issues aside, it is solidly made. It feels like a sold piece of metal. No flex, no creaks, nothing.
The camera is very good at focusing and great in low light. Dont worry to much about it being 4MP unless you tend to zoom in or crop images a lot.
Its a bit early to comment on speed. It feels slow compared to the S3 at doing most things, but its on early firmware, its not fair to compare to a well developed year old unit. I remember being underwhelmed by the S3 at first.
Expect it lol! SGS4 is coming samsung is probably spending a fortune for thousands of users to bash the HTC One all over the internet.
Even youtube got owned by samsung.. Imagine I searched the word HTC One in the search bar then I get a Galaxy 4 promo video on the top of the search results lol! So much for accurate results eh?

The ads come based on your search history. Maybe you've been reading about S4 a bit lately. I do not get that ad on my screen
I'm also sick of Samsung ans apple trolls ranting on about how bad the one is. The phone is great and I won't let them spoil it for me

Same here, I got this phone because it's the one I wanted, for me it's head and shoulders above anything that's out, and I'd most definitely choose it over the s4, why because it's what I wanted in a phone and no amount of people bashing it will change my opinion of it. They just get ignored.

Nah, I haven't search Samsung's product in all my youtube usage history, and yet Samsung note 2 or S4 pops out when I looking for "New One" or "Padfone 2(which I own now)". Soooooo annoying.
But hey , I don't think all the blames are bad or what, some of them make sense. Well, some of them are just, hmm, random complaints from nowhere.

Nice try but nope
Why would I search s4? lol I'd rather get IPhone 4 than galaxy s4 since I am a design freak lol!
People bashing the Htc one are here for a reason. They are scared. They know its the best phone out there and a phone that will hurt Samsung .
There's two parts to it. The first part are people with issues that want the phone. These are the people that are within their right to be complaining. Then you have the people that are just here to bash the phone to try and justify their intended purchasing of the S4. Those people need to be banned.
Sorry guys, this thread has no place in a device forum.

Samsung may introduce some avengers style S6 edge phones.

Just so nobody gets their hopes up too much, Samsung is about as close to producing these as they are producing a device themed after your favorite porn star at the moment.
Take this information with a huge grain of salt.
I'm a huge fan!

Yeah as of now its just speculation but I really do hope they make some, even a limited edition kinda thing. They just look too good IMO.

samsung likes to hype and brag about a lot of stuff, but when come release time none of what they bragged about can be found to be purchased.
Samsung never 'bragged' about this... It is speculation from others.
If these do get made, I can't wait to see the posts on swappa/ebay/craigslist with huge mark ups, with words in the description like "rare" and "limited edition"
Isn't saying Samsung "might" release these based on fan renders like saying they "might" release a version with SD card slot and removable battery based on a fan render?

Nothing necessarily.
Thing is, people aren't always (read: usually aren't) intelligent enough to comprehend the difference between something that is going to happen and something that in all actuality is a nice idea that really isn't on the table.
For the sake of XDA, generally speaking, information spoken of around here tends to be factual. This is pure fantasy.
With that said, people around XDA would likely be the ones who can also tell the difference. So I personally don't have a problem with this thread. I think it's a little irrelevant and I think the title is a bit deceptive, but ehh... it is what it is (not to mention this is just the "general" subforum anyway). I get what the guy was saying though.
It sounds like this has come about because Samsung has provided a lot of stuff for the new Avengers film and people have put two and two together and got five.

This would be interesting if it wasn't listed as an "accessory."
Now It's just strange. Avengers-themed cases maybe?

Well sure, I'm wrong on May 4th.
This was posted nearly two months ago when there was no evidence of such a thing.
Time frames matter. Cute poke though.
Nontheless, this'll be cool to see for those interested.

It was rumored 2 months ago and now its coming to fruition. What a coincidence. Devices get rumored all the time before becoming official, just saying.

GASP! I had no idea. And would you believe it? Things get rumored all the time before staying rumors.
Your point?
