Well, I wasn't sure if I wanted to order the Pixel 3 or the Pixel 3XL. I currently have the Pixel XL, and I really like the larger screen.
So I measured my current screen, and realized the smaller screen would most likely bother me more than the notch. So I ordered the Pixel 3XL. Here is to hoping it doesn't drive me crazy.

In the same boat here, I went all in on the Pixel 3 XL. Upgrading from a Nexus 6p. Really just getting more screen, the overall size of the Pixel 3 XL is actually slightly smaller than the 6p. Looked pretty neat.

Wife has been wanting a new phone for a while, and Verizon is doing the kinda-B1G1 thing, so guess I'm leaving my TMobile plan and hopping back into a family plan w/ hers and getting a 3XL.
She drank enough kool aid watching that presser that she wants to start replacing our (7) Alexa devices w/ Google devices.

Due to my previously mentioned nightmare customer service experience with Samsung, I'm very keen on trying to find a new phone. But giving up the Note 9 I lose micro SD slot, S-pen, 3.5mm jack, 64gb storage, and gain Android P? Maybe a better camera? There's some cool call screening stuff happening on the Google phone, true, can I get that on the Note 9?
I wanna "stick it to the man!" and fuck Samsung, but their hardware is just too good?

My Pixel XL doesn't have a notch gap and It's running 9. The clock was moved to the left side of the notification bar (likely as part of notch support) and you can simulate various notch styles in developer options. 9 just has official, OS level support for notches. Before 9, OEMs had to make changes to android to support them.

My Pixel 2 XL now only displays 5 notification icons with the 5th being a "." to let you know you have more than 5. The "." starts where the notch would
Are you saying there's a way to turn it off?
Can you remove the "software notch" from Android Pie on the Pixel 2? : GooglePixel
Edit: not sure if this just refers to Pixel 3

Yeah, I see what you're saying. 9 no longer displaying more than 4 notifications at a time annoys me, as does moving the clock to the left. I don't know of any way to change that off the top of my head other than a custom ROM.

So I just realized something, and I may actually change my order from the XL to the regular phone. The screen size going from the Pixel XL to the Pixel 3 is actually the same size. It is just a smaller overall phone. I am not sure I really need a screen larger than 5.5

Correction... My Pixel XL has some nasty screen burn going on. Even more noticeable the past few months
