I cannot edit some of the contacts on my phone. I was using an iPhone 6S and now switched to the Pixel 2 XL. I feel like I can edit the contacts that are part of my Google contacts, but not the other contacts on my phone (assume they are from my previous sim card or somewhere else I am not sure about). Any advice? Thanks!

Cannot edit some contacts in Pixel 2 XL

I expect that it is contacts on your SIM. The Pixel doesn't have an option to create SIM contacts, so it makes sense it it can't edit them. Probably you can copy them to the phone though, in which case you can edit them there.
I can't test further because there aren't any contacts on my SIM - SIM contacts are so limited (one name + one number = 1 contact, though some phonebooks disguise this by grouping so they look like a more modern contact), plus SIM cards fail (I've had that twice in the last decade), so I've just given up on them. I think Google reckon we all should too.
