If you had a problematic OLED you should have exchanged it - granted it's a small hassle (keep the old one, google sends new one, google pays to ship old one back), but worth it and you're never without a phone. I have a perfect OLED now and it's one of the better screens I have used, particularly for color accuracy and white uniformity (the hardest thing to get on OLEDs). There is no more blue tint than any other OLED when you tilt it to extreme angles.Originally Posted by jaylo

Yes the dongle blows, as do all of them. It doesn't even match the phone color haha. Sad reality of most phones these days. Kudos to Samsung for keeping the headphone jack.
Virtually every smartphone has a digital-only zoom. Low light performance on the Pixel 2/XL (with regards to image quality) is as good as it gets. The professional reviews and objective testing echo this as well. The reason why it's so good is Google's algorithm stacks 9 photos and since photo noise occurs randomly it can get rid of almost all the noise. It's really quite something how they can make an image from a 1/2.3" sensor almost noise-free, relatively speaking. They also used the Snapdragon DSP to process the images, and now they use their own proprietary 'visual core' processor to handle HDR+ processing, both of which are unique to the Pixels. Make sure you have HDR+ turned on. If you noticed particularly bad low light performance, it's very likely that something else was going on.
