Google Pixel 2 XL 64GB
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.

Google Pixel 2 XL (64GB, Just Black) - Grade (Excellent) review
The Google Pixel 2 XL is available for £629 for the 64GB version sim-free, which is in line with other large screen premium smartphones. The Pixel 2, with its 5inch screen, and £559 sim-free price seems expensive in comparison, without the "Wow" factor of a curved and almost borderless screen.- 6inch 18:9 screen, Optical Image Stabilisation, Dual front speakers, On-line backup till 2020, Portrait mode works well, Easy to use camera
- No headphone socket, No MicroSD slot to expand memory, A little expensive
GOOGLE Pixel 2 XL - 64 GB, Black & White
- Unlimited photo storage and quick charge battery
- Haven't found anything yet
Google Pixel 2 XL (64GB, Just Black) - Grade (Excellent) review
I was late on getting a XL. When sent one over for me to check out for a bit, I was hype and skeptical at the same time. I heard great things about the camera and horrible things about the screen.

Google Pixel 2 XL
A bigger, sharper screen and thinner bezels make the Pixel 2 XL the more desirable Google phone, but some early units have been dogged by screen issues.- The Pixel 2 XL perks up the already excellent Pixel 2 with more screen space
- It has a fantastic camera, waterproofing and the Google Lens feature that helps you learn more about the world around you
- The camera's Portrait Mode doesn't work as smoothly as its competitors' dual camera
- Its battery doesn't last as long as others in its caliber and the phone has no headphone jack or wireless charging
- The displays on some handsets have irksome screen problems
Happy I made the switch
Switched over from about a decade of iPhones, was a little nervous at first, but after a couple weeks I'm very satisfied with my decision. I recommend this smartphone, the Android system is a pleasure to operate, very intuitive, and user friendly.
