I wear bluetooth headset every day and just need to charge once a week.
HTC Pixel 2
what's the current headset you are using now?
But after using my Pixel XL, i really miss the front firing speakers.
Yup, that's the Pixel 2. The Pixel XL 2 is made by LG, which will have the "new" design. Personally, I have no complain on N6P bezels, so I also have no complain on Pixel 2 bezels.
Does the XL 2 looks like the non XL except bigger?
Nope, diff. Based on leaks the screen will look like G6/V30 screen. The rear/back will probably look similar though with slight curves at the edges?
Wow so different but I thought Google designed the phon? Instead now, the phones bear the signature of the manufacturer's design. XL would be my choice with the G6/v30 bezel less look
Yup, sure, it's Google branded phone. Google also made the design decision, etc, but does not mean they won't want to use existing design from the OEM they are working with. Personally, I don't see issues by reusing existing design from OEM. In fact, in a way, it's better, since the OEM has had experience in the design, hence will be able to improve upon it if they choose to.
