Lost mine last week, just picked up a replacement at 7-11 store down the street from work for $44 (FiGO Ultra), a 5" with android 6 and ips display, actually quite an upgrade from the Blu Advance 4 it replaces. Getting through to customer service to port over the number (same provider) was a real bitch though, but I was able to keep the airtime in my account.
I bought a Pixel 2 XL. Got a 'pristine' refurb for £380. The mic didn't work on calls! So I contacted Google and they sent me a brand new retail boxed one as it was still in warranty. That was a bit of a result :)
I tried to buy the phone online but their website kept erroneously rejecting my card. So I thought fuck it, I'll try an actual store. I got a 30% bigger discount, didn't have to pay shipping or faff around with delivery and walked out with the phone in my hand. Jeesh, bricks and mortar. Who knew?
I gather they can be a bit of a mixed bag, especially the earlier models. Mine seems fine, the only thing I'd say is there's a noticeable blue shift if you look at it from an angle. But if I'm looking at the screen for more than a notification I tend to point it at my face (duh) so I don't really consider it a bad thing as such. Battery life is great. Aside from that it should be about the same as yours I think!
