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

It’s easy to see why DxO has rated the Pixel 2 so highly. It is capable of delivering some fantastic images, in both good and low light. The Portrait Mode isn’t without its quirks, but works well to produce impressive blurred background shots – the fact it does this without a second camera is all...

Google Pixel 2 review: No frills, but a great camera and fast Android updates

The Google Pixel 2 hides its light under a bushel. The physical design is demure, Android 8 doesn't look much different at first glance, and without a UI overlay or third-party software, bells and whistles are few and far between.
Pros:
  • Very good performance
  • Great camera
  • Fast battery charging
  • IP67 dust and water resistance
  • Guaranteed speedy Android updates
  • Clever use of fingerprint reader and squeezable sides
Cons:
  • Moderate battery life
  • Tall chassis
  • No microSD slot or 3.5mm headphone jack
  • No wireless charging

Best of Google

Best of Google all in 1 device. Portrait mode in camera is fantastic. Speed, responsiveness, battery backup along with a super fast finger print unlock is all good. Bezels could have been smaller.must have for an Android fan.
