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.

This means that they don't look like a million dollars, compared to those phones which feature glass backs and shiny metal highlights, but they feel instantly premium. More importantly, the focus from Google - undeniably - has been function, rather than a fancy package.

Google Pixel 2 review: not quite 'pixel perfect' but damn close

If you want a smartphone that’s as clean as they come and brilliantly-effective at tackling the everyday problems it sets out to solve, the Pixel 2 is a clear-cut winner. Google’s first generation of Pixel devices made a big splash last year. However, despite the misfortune that befell Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 and a massive advertising campaign, limited supply held the Pixel back from taking over the world. The Pixel’s moment of dazzling excitement quickly gave way to The Next Big Android Phone. A big splash is still just a splash after all. It’s act of unveiling brilliant in one moment, but gone the next.
Pros:
  • Great form-factor
  • Brilliant everyday performance
  • Outstanding camera results
Cons:
  • Displays on both the Pixel 2 and XL have their drawbacks
  • Battery life is only OK

I have a hard time keeping phones for more than six months. The promise of a better experience with new hardware is often too hard to resist, but every once in a while a phone is good enough to keep me grounded. The Pixel 2 is probably one of those phones.
