Still hanging onto my Pixel 2 XL. The recent Pixel 6 and 7 looked good before launch but I've read of nothing but issues.

Trying to hold out for as long as I can but not sure what to get next. Somewhat limited as I'm on Google Fi.

I went from Pixel 2XL to Pixel 4a 5G to Pixel 7.

I've had no software issues except maybe WPA3 auth.

It's all the same really, but the improved camera is probably worth it. I got a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones now so headphone jack doesn't bug me so much. But I literally only listen to music on my phone when traveling.

The only thing that's killing me now is bad battery life and the low RAM on the pixel 2 XL, so apps get reloaded frequently when multitasking. Battery is easily replaceable though.

I've just seen a lot of overheating and connection issues with the 6/7.
