Basically been hunting around for a decent androide phone and the Pixel 2 XL seems to fit the bill.
Generally speaking and never having had a Google phobe before is it a good outright buy to keep for a while? Interestes to hear what it compares to from you mobile experts out there.
Thank you

    I have had a Pixel XL for about a year and I can't fault it.  It runs all the apps I ask it to and the camera is very good.  If you're into google it obviously integrates well with other google services - may too well sometimes.  The battery lasts all day for me and it's also robust; I've dropped it lots of time and it still works. I haven't compared it with a really top end phone but it does everything I need it to.

    second hand p30 will serve you well - still runs google, battery life is good, and camera is good. probably set you back around £250-300?
