The Google Pixel 2 reviewed here launched in October 2017 to positive reviews, cementing Google's place as a serious smartphone competitor. In addition to impressing Android users, the Pixel 2 also managed to entice iPhone users away from the iPhone X.

Buy the Pixel 2 for one of the best cameras on any Android phone and fast Google updates, but be aware that an upgrade is likely coming in a few months.

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.

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.

With the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, it's clear that Google has chosen AI as its weapon of choice to fight the smartphone war. And given the company's prowess in machine learning, this is a smart move that has paid off.

I have just spent the last month using both the new Samsung S9+ and a Google Pixel XL as a second device. The difference is significant, with the Samsung Gal

Upgraded from a Nexus 5x, about 3 weeks ago. What a great phone! Don't let the size fool you. The phone runs so smoothly and effortlessly. Apps that I thought were fast on my old phone are 10x faster. And so far, the battery life is incredible!

The new Google Pixel 2 arrived in India last November for a price of Rs 61,000. Soon after the launch, the Pixel 2 attracted a lot of negative press in India. People not only complained about the price but also questioned the overall quality of the device.

The camera; best one ever used on a smart phone

The plastic coating on the phone body; it may wear off

The Google Pixel 2 combines hardware with powerful software to produce incredibly detailed and vibrant still images in both daylight and low light. Class-leading dual pixel AF is fast and accurate even in low light, and 4K/30p is both beautiful and also smooth thanks to optical + electronic stabilization. The camera's background blurring mode is among the best. And unlimited free photo storage via Google Photo is just the icing on the cake. We wish it offered wireless charging, a more accurate color display and a telephoto rear camera. But still you'd be hard put to find a smartphone in 2018 that takes prettier pictures.

General shooting, portraits, high quality casual video, street photography, social photography;

Sports or action, extremely low light shooting, those who still appreciate a traditional camera form factor;

Welcome to the best Google Pixel 2 review on the internet. Even with the technical issues that this Android phone went through at launch, it remains one of our most recommended for one reason: it has an amazing camera and starts at a normal smartphone price.

Top-of-the-line photos and video; Dual front-facing speakers; Premium water-resistant body

Bezels really stand out in 2017; No 3.5mm headphone jack; Camera app could be better

The Google Pixel 2 launched at Rs 61,000 and it made no sense to buy it at that time. However, the prices have dropped and I've seen Flipkart selling it for as low as Rs 39,999. At that price, it makes for a great premium compact smartphone.

the expensive google pixel 2 (5 inch) does not look like much, heck, one can argue the galaxy s4 from years ago had slimmer bezels, but looks can be VERY decieving. as I learned from my pixel 2, a bezeless front and shiny glass back isnt the answer to those who care to use their phones more than...

awesome camera; fast UI; fits one hand; smooth and consistent performance; easy to use coming from any phone

medicore battery; large body for screen; no headphone jack or micro sd
