You could always go to the moto x4 for now. With the announcement of the Pixel 3 coming out, Pixel 2's should be dropping quite a bit in the next few months? I think that's what I did to get into my current 6p when they started heavily discounting them with the Pixel 2 coming out back then.

I really like my Pixel 2 XL, for what it's worth. Feels like the way Android was meant to be.

Dunno how your 6p has lasted so long, don't you get battery issues?
If you like stock android then go for 2XL

I've had it for 2 years, I got it right when the first Pixel was coming out but didn't want to pay for the added price. I typically buy phones a generation behind.
That said, I do have bad battery issues. I was already browsing new phones casually before this because it's been acting up.
Stock Android is good. I ordered the Pixel 2 XL last night.
Now I've gotta find a case.. been looking at Spigen's because that's all I see. My case now is just a silicone mold with a lip and has served me well over several phones with glass screens. I fell super hard last night on the phone, like legs straight up in the air falling full force onto it. It's as funny as it sounds.

The Spigen hard shell with the kickstand on the back that @a_skeleton_00 got me is great. He works at Verizon, guess he's pretty good at picking out cases. 
Thanks again btw Jin. I would have gone with a soft pleather case personally, but I think I already would've broken this phone if I had. This Spigen has grown on me a lot.

"The Note 9 ships with Android 8.1 Oreo"
Sigh, this right here is why I want to stick with the Pixel line instead of going back to Samsung

I like my Pixel XL but I don't LOVE it like I did my Note 4.
Did the Pixel 2 and beyond make huge improvement? I'm so vain... The obnoxious bezel at the top and bottom of my Pixel just bugs the shit outta me.

Anyone have an opinion on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s? I trust the opinion of you guys more than review sites on the net.

No idea, I'm still rocking a Pixel XL. I upgraded from a Note 4 as well and I agree, the phone is good but didn't really wow me like the Note did. Probably gonna give it another year before I upgrade phones again.

I see you already ordered a new phone, but for posterity I use an iPhone on Fi.
My Nexus 6P stopped charging. It's a known logic board (?) defect; Google told me to get lost, LG told me they'd repair it for free if I sent it in but it was a 4-6 week wait. I told them if that was the best they could do they lost me as a customer forever, lady said oh well. I haven't sent in the phone because I'm unsure if they'll repair it or replace it.
I assume all other Android phones that aren't "approved" for Fi work the same as iPhones – it basically works, but no carrier switching, and MMS texts are hit or miss (they're a miss for me).
I'm happy with Project Fi but that incident had me quite upset and Google did nothing.

Buddy upgraded to the Note 9 from the Pixel XL and is in love. He says it feels like what a flagship phone should feel like. He loves it.

Google would have been responsible if you purchased it through them
Huawei repaired my 6p just before the 2 year warranty expired
No idea why you thought LG would be responsible for another companies phone, maybe that was the problem all along

Understandable. Fi's network stuff is nice.
As is, I have a cheap T-Mobile MVNO without MMS/group texts. iMessage helps.
I like the value I get under Fi. Haven't looked into switching.
*Was a 5X, not a 6P.*
How is this not LG's phone? Big ass logo on the back says LG.

I did purchase the phone through Google, when I started my Fi account.
Defective phone with a known issue. Was just over a year old. Neither Google (who I bought the phone from and designed the phone with LG branding), nor LG (the manufacturer) offered any sort of fix in a reasonable time.
"Wait time is 4-6 weeks, enjoy life without a phone," I told them to take a hike.
