More problems: Pixel 2 XL owners report terribly tinny, distorted audio recording in videos
First reported among owners on Google's Pixel Community website, the audio quality in video recordings is described as "tinny", "overly compressed", and "unusable" among many other descriptors from a growing number of users. Some describe it as a sometimes intermittent issue, leading many hopeful that a software fix will remedy this. We can now count Google among the hopeful as they've told CNET that a fix will be "rolled out in the next few weeks."
During our testing, we had no issues with audio quality on our unit.
The smaller, HTC-made Pixel 2 has appeared to remain problem-free, though, eluding many of the mounting issues which plague the LG-made Pixel 2 XL. It seems Pixel 2 users gained more than just bezels when they made their choice this October.
