I've been using this phone for the past week or so, taking it from the US to Korea over what's been quite a long and important trip for me. Over that period, my Google Pixel 2 XL has been utterly reliable. I had my fears after receiving a sub-par product from a different refurbisher, but this one works perfectly. There is a minor aesthetic oddity - when charging while turned off, an odd white line will form at the top bezel and disappear if the display ever goes off and on again. But this little line is the only difference I can detect between the phone I have and a brand new Google Pixel 2 XL so far. The camera is to die for - I've taken more pictures in the past week than I had in several years prior because it does so much of the work needed to make pictures on a lesser phone look good. Its processor is also well fast enough for just about any game - for reference, it'll play Genshin Impact, a fairly intensive open world game like Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Switch, with some frame drops at low graphics quality. So it does have its limits, but those limits are quite high. Its speakers are also extremely impressive. I've never heard a phone speaker get as loud as this without the audio quality becoming terrible, but the audio is just as crisp at full volume as it is at low volume. This phone also has the benefit of taking eSIM cards, but sadly it only takes ones from Google Fi, as eSIM began to grow in popularity right at the end of this phone's life. So if you're willing to use Google Fi (which I'd personally recommend, especially to international travelers or people who have good Wi-Fi), that's a definite plus. All in all, I'm very pleased with this phone and I don't think I'll ever go back to getting dinky budget phones again, not when I can get a phone of this quality for almost the same price.
