<P> YouTuber JerryRigEverything, who performs durability tests on various smartphones, criticized Google for their design choice with the antenna lines on the sides of the handset . When he bent the Pixel 2, it cracked at the antenna line near the middle of the phone, voiding its water resistance and warranty, while most other phones from competitors pass his bend test . This does not apply to the Pixel 2 XL . </P> <P> The design of the smaller Pixel 2 was regarded as plain, and its big chunky bezels were not well received, considering that earlier 2017 phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 had moved to nearly bezel-less screens . </P> <P> The Pixel 2 XL screen became infamous for quality control issues, a flaw shared with the LG V30 which also has the same manufacturer and P - OLED screen type . The Pixel 2 XL has a blue tint visible on the screen when the phone is viewed at an angle . Many were dissatisfied and it was speculated that Google had installed the polarizer incorrectly . However, when Google addressed the tint, they stated that it was a design choice to have the blue tint to go along with the cooler color temperature used by the screen (it is calibrated to a D67 white point, which is 6700K). </P> <P> Vlad Savov of The Verge has complained of under - saturated and distorted OLED displays, and there have also been reports of screen burn - in on some Pixel 2 XL units . </P>
