Yeah, the camera on my 2 XL continues to impress me, esp. compared to my wife's Note 9 that if you go back to watch reviews of it, was at least comparable to it at the time. Now most of her shots are out of focus as well and if there's a moving subject in it, forget about it. It seems that most of the reviews you see on phones nowadays only cover still subjects and it's easy to miss this aspect of photography when reviewing the cameras on the phones.
I'm tempted to get an S21 or Note 21 to replace my 2 XL next time I see a deal on an unlocked model of them, but the camera on them is definitely my biggest concern on them along with losing unlimited "high quality" photo/video backups that we still get to have on Pixels for now. I would probably jump on a Pixel 5 too if I see one for $500 or less at some point. But for now my 2 XL is still chugging along great and the battery still easily lasts me a full day as well, so I'm holding out with it as long as I can for either the next deal I see on a Pixel 5 or maybe to see what the Pixel 6/XL brings, which I'm presuming will still be pretty overpriced for this hardware like all previous (flagship) Pixels have been.
