Not sure, but they should replace it for you if it breaks inside the warranty period?The included audio adapter finally broke. Looks like the only place I can buy the official one is from Google's website which has 5 day deliveryAny way I can get one a lot quicker?

Gonna contact support but I doubt its covered by warranty. In the meantime I just ordered this adapter which has a DAC https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078GLX8ZG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Will probably end up ordering a few replacements from Google
Just contacted google and they've sent me a replacement adapter

Probably but personally I’d buy a couple from amazon etc
Check out the PowerAdd multi charger on the rainforest. It's only a fiver cheaper but you can at least charge multiple devices if that's of any use to you. It's great at charging the 2XL, every bit as good as the genuine charger.
In a nutshell anything with USB C Power Delivery (PD) with a wattage of 15+ will sort you out.
While I appreciate the constant improvement to the phone due to this third party hardware implementation (Google Visual Core enabled for third party websites), I am even more impressed with what Google is attempting to do not only on the Pixel phone software in particular but with their greater use of Artificial Intelligence to make our web experiences more satisfying. For me, I prefer to be able to respond to messages with a short reply and I frequently use Smart Reply in Inbox for example. I do not know how others view Smart Reply but it is often exactly what I want to say quickly. Often times, I am carrying something in one hand and attempting to hold the phone and reply with the other (yes voice to text is great too but if a canned, simply reply is at hand that says what I want I use it).
So when I read about this new Google patent for Reply, guessing what you will do online, for much more than the simple reply.....think Assistant. Predictive photo editing on Google is already a reality.
What else could it be used for? With Google's Waymo expected to launch the first commercial self driving taxi service vehicle in Phoenix, Arizona, it would not be too much of a stretch to think this AI could be used in autonomous vehicles. While we assume that the passenger will always control the destination of the AV, perhaps not. In the example in this link, the passenger might simply be able to say "Take me to a good restaurant". According to the article, "the car decides based on past preference, table availability, traffic, the knowledge that you’ll be going to a movie and the information about when that movie starts and where the theater is located."
A Google-styled predictive internet?

This is possibly why some people are having slow charging issues.

Interesting - problem is, my flat is really cold in the morning, as I have no central heating, just electric radiators. I don't like to charge my phone overnight.
There really is no point in posting like this, most people will hit the first paragraph and stop reading, it just comes across as a google blog which is not what this forum is about...sorry

True. I read a line or two and skipped on to the next post...

In my experience, users like to know what is ahead as well as what is behind. I think a Community also should be about how products and ideas (hardware and software) will benefit us to be more productive and satisfied.
It's so open though, this thread is specifically about the pixel XL 2 not about Google's plans for moving forward. Google are not alone in what they are doing but I'm in this thread to wax lyrical about my pixel XL 2

I'd probably read your post if it actually read like someone posting on a forum though, not a press release.
Bingo
