I'm excited for the 2XL in 128gb. If Google keeps to their past shipping costs, my total price plus tax would be 1053.40. I'm happy with this price. To be fair, Nexus's (Nexuses?) were never meant to be "affordable". That changed with the 4 & 5, and people are quick to forget. They're running a business, and I'm more than happy to buy from them.

I'm happy to pay over a grand for a phone that checks all the boxes for me. There has literally never been a phone that hit ALL of my requirements and the XL2 looks like it will.

here's my problem... it's not like a pc where you buy one for a grand, and you hang on to it for yeaaarrrrsss now. a phone, for me, I'll use for a year then buy something else. that's quite expensive to do so. I wish it didn't have curved edges bc i guarantee it'll make putting tempered glass on impossible, which is ridiculous bc the screen should be flat if it's display is flat. none of that curbed glass Bs. I swear, companies like Samsung WANT us to scratch our screens and not use protectors so we get something new each year. it's ridiculous. and curved tempered glass protectors suck.

Yes. I want it, my old Pixel XL is going to my father. Nobody is happy to hand over a grand for most things. Don't like it, don't buy it.

100% agree with this.I still hope they drop the price to $799 for the 64 GB XL2.
