But this past week with the new Google Pixel 2 XL in my possession, I couldn’t really do any of that. >I was unexpectedly stuck in a hospital room in Boston, whiling away the hours as I sat with a sick family member. During the day, I didn’t stray much farther than the hospital cafeteria. By the time I drove home each night, I was too tired to do anything other than sleep. Instead of testing how the phone performs in ideal situations, I saw how the Google Pixel 2 XL performs when you have nothing to do but kill time.
