Just picked up a new Pixel 2 XL and am looking for any suggestions/tips for the phone. UI takes a bit of getting used to coming from galaxy s6 (s5 and s4 before that). Any tips/comments are welcomed :)

Mine has a bug this month where my ear triggers my settings page on and turns off various settings like wifi and bluetooth. Was wondering if others had this problem .

Benchmark Scores Turns on on the first try! Usually.
First thing I do on a new Android is enable developer options and put all the animation scalers from x1 to x0.5, makes everything a lot snappier.
