Google Pixel 2 is a 5.0-inch smartphone that sports a lot of Google technologies. The second generation Pixel also includes the larger Pixel 2 XL phone.


A Smarter Smartphone

The Pixel 2 brings a lot of intelligence to the smartphone market, including stepped-up Augmented Reality.


Google Assistant Has The Edge

More smartness in the form of Active Edge - simply squeeze the lower half of the Pixel 2 to launch Google Assistant. Use voice command on Google Assistant for hands-free operation, and enjoy a host of other features that will help you find a good restaurant, bring you the news, act as a virtual travel agent, fire up your Netflix and so much more.


One Of The World's Best Cameras?

Going by the positive reviews from tech experts, the answer could well be yes! Cameras are hugely important features in any smartphone, and the 12.2-megapixel sensor in the Pixel 2, combined with Google's image processing is said to be producing some wonderful results. Meanwhile, optical image stabilisation gives you steadier footage when you want to shoot video.


Short Charge, Long Life

Battery life is a vital factor, especially as we demand more from our smartphones. The Pixel 2 promises a 15-minute charge to supply 7-hours of battery life.

A newer model Google Pixel 3 64GB was released in July 2018.

Google Pixel 2 review: amazingly intelligent

The Google Pixel 2 shows Google now has clear vision for its flagship smartphones. The design is distinctive and has character, the camera continues to be outstanding, and the software it very intelligent. However, those bezels can't be ignored, so we'd go for the Pixel 2 XL .
Pros:
  • Distinctive design
  • Leading camera
  • Intelligent software
Cons:
  • Top and bottom bezels
  • Plastic-like metal

Google Pixel 2 : A software powerhouse with the best camera around review

There’s a lot to love about the Google Pixel 2. It’s a way better phone than the original Pixel, with a far more coherent design, a better screen and even better camera. It really feels like a coming of age for the range. If the original Pixel didn’t really know what it wanted to be besides an Android version of an iPhone, the Pixel 2 has grown up and got itself a job. And that job is to absolutely nail every single aspect of the software experience, from the smart assistant right through to the camera. The hardware isn’t the absolute best, particularly where the design and screen are concerned, but mostly it exists to make all those lovely, lovely software treats work perfectly - and mostly it does so with aplomb. If you’re not bothered about having the biggest, best screen on offer, there’s no better phone out there than this one.
Pros:
  • Takes amazing photos
  • Really fast
  • Packed with clever software touches
Cons:
  • Design feels dated
  • Screen isn’t quite flagship-worthy
  • Stingy with storage

Google Pixel 2 Review

The Pixel 2 brings exclusive Google Assistant features you can't get on any other phone, and lets you trigger them with a squeeze. The Pixel 2 (starting at $649) combines pure Google software and a great camera in a one-hand-friendly size. But while its specs generally measure up to the larger Pixel 2 XL, its design and performance don't quite get there. That makes the XL our Editors' Choice, and the phone to get if you want the full Google experience. Design In an era of tiny-bezel phones, the Pixel 2 ($99.99 at Amazon) is a bit of a throwback. At 5.7 by 2.7 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and 5.0 ounces, it fits very well into one hand. But its 5-inch, 1,920-by-1,080 OLED screen is bracketed by relatively large top and bottom bezels, much like you see on the iPhone 8. As a 16:9 phone, the Pixel 2 is the same width as the Samsung Galaxy S8, which has a much bigger screen; the S8 is taller and narrower, and lacks the large top and bottom bezels. The Pixel 2's screen also looks a bit yellowish, while the Pixel 2 XL is bluer and the Galaxy S8 is balanced in the middle. Similar Products Google P...
Pros:
  • Promising camera
  • Fast processor

  • Exclusive Assistant features
Cons:
  • Small screen and big bezels for the size

Google Pixel 2

Last year's inaugural Pixel was such a slam dunk, I expected this year's Google Pixel 2 -- and larger Pixel 2 XL -- to carry Google's phone even further. In the most important ways, it has.
Pros:
  • Google's Pixel 2 has a superb camera with OIS and excellent low-light shooting
  • It's water-resistant and Google Lens calls up a trove of information to help you explore your surroundings
Cons:
  • The phone's battery doesn't keep pace with the Pixel's competitors and its Portrait Mode isn't as smooth on dual-camera phones
  • Its design feels dated and it doesn't have wireless charging or a headphone jack

Google Pixel 2 Review: Android camera magic

If there's a rockstar of the Android world in 2017, it's the new Pixel 2 . Google's own smartphones may not sell in as great a number as, say, Apple's iPhone or Samsung's Galaxy, but they're arguably no less important in their own way.
Pros:
  • Pure Android Oreo experience is tasty
  • Excellent camera
  • Solid battery life
  • Speedy Snapdragon 835 performance
Cons:
  • Pixel 2 bezels are huge
  • Pixel 2 XL pOLED is muted and blue-tinged off-axis
  • Can Google meet demand

Google Pixel 2: The Gizmodo Review

When Google released the Pixel last year, it was taking a stand. No longer would Google hardware be tainted with the brands and logos of other companies, even if behind the scenes, Google still needed help from those same companies to actually build its phones.

Google's Pixel phones are among the very few Android handsets out there to offer a clean, unfettered version of the OS, packed inside some premium hardware. You might not get much in the way of frills, yet the Pixel is a well-constructed smartphone that delivers dependable performance and solid...
