Pixel 2 xl charging cable loose
Is anyone else's pixel 2 xl charging cable really loose when it's plugged in? I never really thought much about it but when I have my pixel 2 xl plugged in, if I'm using it and move it around a little, the cable will constantly fall out. It's my first phone with usb-c so I just figured it came with the territory. The problem is that I've had multiple nights where I've picked up my phone and not realized the cable has become disconnected, leaving me with an uncharged device the next morning. But when I was using my wifes regular pixel 2, the cable is much tighter and harder to pull out. She uses it constantly while lying in bed with it plugged in and has not had this happen. Is this common or present with anyone else? Maybe just an issue with the LG design?

Pixel phones use USB-C with USB 2.0 power adapters and cables. To charge your Pixel phone with a USB-A power adapter, use a USB-C to USB-A cable. This will charge your Pixel phone more slowly than USB-C. Other Android cables and power adapters might not work with Pixel phones. Pixel 3a, Pixel 2, and Pixel (2016) phones can't charge wirelessly. The Pixel 2, like its competition, has ditched the headphone jack, opting to include a single USB-C port on its bottom.While it makes waterproofing the device much easier, it restricts the kinds.
