Anyone downsize from XL to regular?
I like my pixel XL but sometimes I prefer to have a smaller phone. Has anyone downsized to the regular pixel? Any regrets about battery life or the screen resolution?

I was going to from a 6P to a Pixel 2... but then my 6P became a Pixel XL and I also learned that the Pixel 2 (non-XL) has a lower resolution. Probably going to cancel my Pixel 2 order before it ships, still thinking about it. (I'm interested in Daydream, so the higher res is preferred)

Daydream is not that good I don't think it's worth it until there are 4K displays on phones or even 8K the pixels are very visible on a QHD display on high end smartphone these days

The grass is always greener and whatnot. I pretty much only want it for movies whenever it's back around $50.

I downsized and have no regrets, I originally got the white XL ... It was awful to hold and I even dropped it and cracked the glass on the screen... Straight after I found somebody who wanted to trade their smaller for my xl.
The only thing I missed, like mentioned already is the extreme battery life. With the smaller pixel, I can easily end my day after heavy use with around 15%-20% so I soon got over it. Love my smaller device it's so much more sleek and comfortable.

I have minor battery regrets. I still manage a day usage, but I need all of my battery. No problems with the screen. Love how much better it is to fit in my pocket, or use in general, or use one handed. I don't I'd consider a larger phone again.
