Wireless charging is a useless gimmick. I'd take usb c fast charging over it

Maybe they can go back to competing on cost?

no facial recognition
No wireless charging
Gimmicky shyt like pressing the edges to open your camera
It's over
I am not sure how much I would personally use facial recognition to be honest. Wireless charging
I am an Iphone user currently and I have never had wireless charging so it wouldn't be anything different to me.
Is it water proof?

Yes it will be
Apparently, LG made the 2XL and HTC made the Pixel 2...not sure why they have 2 different manufacturers but that is the rumour.
If the 2XL is essentially a clone of the LG v30, I'm probably in
Ideally the phone would have face and fingerprint unlock. However if it's one or the other, I can't think of a day to day moment where facial recognition is better than a fingerprint sensor. Who wants to position their phone up perfectly to their face every time just to unlock it? Samsung claimed their face unlock would work at various angles and distances but consumers and reviewers shut that down quickly. Now... if Apple figured out a way to have this work every time at any angle/distance, then dope. I'll wait for the people to comment on that. My guess is IPhone users will be wishing they had a fingerprint sensor on the back.
Having the option to wirelessly charge would be nice. I've never had a phone with that capability.

They had that face unlock for Android 4.0 and that shyt was Terrible....I thought they still had it
Face recognition is built into the smart unlock feature. Can't use it for the lock screen though. And you're right it was trash and unsecure
Iris scanner is the fasting unlocking mechanism on any phone
