So dear google. It looks like time is up soon. I owned my pixel for a year and a half and as much as I like the phone it is a big let down when it comes to connectivity.
First I had massive issues to connect to my cars bluetooth. Had to use devs mode and play with different settings to get it finally connected.
At this point I still liked it a lot.
Second, got a new lg oled 65'. The phone would not connect no matter what. My girlfriends samsung connected within seconds.
Third and final straw...
My phone's NFC would not read a chip in my passport so I have to send off my passport via post. Again, my girlfriends phone would do this in seconds.

All in all it was a pleasure to use a pixel 2xl but constant connectivity issues are a big drawback today when smartphones connect to tons of devices used at home, work or in public.
My next phone will be a note 10 from Samsung. Honestly cant wait.

PS: that ugly notch on pixel 3 xl? Cmon google, thats the ugliest displey notch I've come across.
