I didn't get the XL. Short story - my nexus 5X's usb-c port turned into a taser. Now the phone doesn't charge.
had to get a phone quick, and figured I'd move on up to the pixel via Google Play. No XL's available, only the regular pixel. So I got that.
It runs what I need it to do. I like having a restart option when you hold down the power button.
I'm somewhat disappointed by the fact that they decided not to do front facing speakers, which I loved on the 5X. Also miss the colored glowing light for notifications.
