Just noticed that this is my second post in Android Forums. The first one was posted when I was using HTC Desire back in 2011, time flies doesn't it? 
So I was quite lucky that I received my Pixel XL on 2x Oct and have now been using it for about 3 weeks. It's indeed a nifty flagship device from Google that comes with sleek aluminium build, nice camera and the tasty Android 7.1 Nougat. Where most functions of the device work perfect, I find the following issues -
1. As many of you have mentioned in other posts, the Pixel devices load gifs and videos very slow sometimes, especially in the Facebook app.
2. It has happened many times that the phone failed to play videos and music on Spotify, YouTube, and other SNS other than Facebook. A re-boot can solve the problem, but it just happens again after a random period of time.
3. It fails to make and receive VoIP calls - this really happens a lot. I've seen it happened on Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Skype, and WeChat. Again, after re-boot it should work slightly better, but I think there should be an official solution to this. Normal phone call doesn't have such problem, though.
4. It disconnects from Wifi on a pretty regular basis.
5. I received my customised Live Case this afternoon. After putting it on, the device has frozen twice. Not so sure if it has anything to do with the NFC, but it never happened before the case.
The above sums up my situation for now. Please tell me if you are also facing the same problems!
