The Google Pixel 2 XL is the upsized version of the Pixel 2 - a six-inch display compared to five inches. But what other big things does the Pixel 2 XL bring us?


Optimum Android Performance

Reviews from industry events launching the Pixel 2 XL rave about the new Android Oreo, the new Operating System which takes smartphone performance to a remarkable new level. According to some, this new Pixel smartphone is how Android should operate in its purest form.


Speed...Lots Of Speed

The Snapdragon chipset, combined with 4 GB of RAM, combine to make the Pixel 2 XL a very fast phone, noticeably speedier than many other smartphones occupying the higher end of the market.


Always On Is Always Handy

A smaller feature, but a most welcome one, is the Always On feature, which means you can see the time and other notifications without having to tap the screen.


Crystal Clear P-OLED Display

One of the big advantages of upsizing to the Pixel 2 XL is the enhanced resolution of the P-OLED display. Its 2,880 x 1,440 resolution equals a crystal-clear display, something to keep in mind if things like virtual reality gaming apps are on your wish list.


Not Dual-Lens, But Dual Pixel

The Pixel camera is being lauded as one of the best, if not THE best, on the smartphone market. While the cameras are not dual-lens, technological features like dual-pixel for a stunning depth effect, means that the rave reviews for these cameras are justified.


Keeping Dust and Water Out

Protecting all the grand features in the upsized Pixel 2 XL is improved dust and water resistance.

A newer model Google Pixel 3 XL 128GB was released in August 2018.

Excellent Smartphone

I have had this smartphone for about a week now. So far so good. No complaints. The so-called blue tint is hardly noticeable. Google has definitely fixed the blue tint problem. Considering this phone my not have the largest RAM, it does operate buttery smooth and amazingly fast.

Dreadful battery life. Gets hot in use.

Before buying this, please Google the many reviews by owners saying that the battery drains really quickly since the upgrade to 8.01 and that it gets hot in use. We only discovered this type of review when we had cause to look for it and we discovered these problems within the first hour or so of...

Best phone out as of June 5, 2018. Seller terrible. Phone amazing!

The phone is sick. What a wonderful upgrade from the LG V10. Unlimited Google storage. So sleak, so fast, so smooth and best photos possible. You can't beat this phone right now. The seller is terrible. No response to questions.

It's a little disappointing that the Pixel 2 XL's potentially most useful – and exciting – feature isn't fully ready yet but, to be honest, I'm not at all convinced by the phone as a whole anyway.

Not worth the price

The phone is good, but for that price, I would expect something far better. I have a Moto X Style which I paid around 250€ 3 years ago and it has a superb screen compared with Pixel 2 XL. I'm a big fan of Google and Android but this phone has a lot of flaws that are unacceptable at this price range.
