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 smartphone review

The Pixel 2 is a great phone with excellent hardware and performance, a relatively boring design, respectable (but not amazing) battery life, and the best camera available in a smartphone today (if you don't need dual cameras).

Google Pixel 2 review: dated design lets down smartphone that almost had it all

The Pixel 2 has everything good about the guts and software of its larger 6in sibling, the Pixel 2 XL , but squeezed into a smaller phone. On paper that sounds fantastic, but the large bezels around the screen, with big top and bottom panels, make the Pixel 2 look dated next to its top-end Android...
Pros:
  • very fast
  • long battery life
  • great screen
  • squeezable sides
  • latest version of Android and rapid updates
  • interesting built-in AI
  • water resistant
  • fantastic camera
  • unlimited photo and video backup
Cons:
  • large bezels
  • dated design
  • expensive
  • no expandable storage or removable battery
  • no headphone jack
  • no wireless charging
