Pixel 2 XL lag may lead to device (hardware) replacements

Over the last couple of weeks there’s been a bit more than a normal amount of a rumbling about the Pixel 2 XL and it’s apparent slowdown issue. Not all Pixel 2 XL units have the issue, but a significant number of them do find themselves the subject of this slowdown. Fortunate for those few users with this issue, one of their ranks happens to be a rather prolific Android journalist by the name of Artem Russakovskii of Android Police. Google’s been to visit him personally to see what’s up.

 

 

"Anonymous tip: Google has at this point identified three possible causes of @ArtemR's (and others) Pixel 2 XL lag issues, one of which would require hardware replacements."

Opinion - Pretty hard on google to have something like this going on, and how would this affect the pixel lineup in the future? what about consumer trust? The Pixel 2 XL is a fairly popular phone.

I am not sure how all of a sudden this becomes a hardware issue. I have seen the lag and stutters posted but it seems pretty wide spread and only within the last month or so. Some are pointing at NAND

Could be NAND, could be something like LG's BootyLoops(TM) which still has an on going lawsuit

Probably something similar to the 2012 Nexus 7 slowdowns.
