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.
Takes amazing photos; Really fast; Packed with clever software touches;
Design feels dated; Screen isn’t quite flagship-worthy; Stingy with storage;
