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 Smartphone Review
The Pixel 2 XL is an interesting smartphone. We would sum it up as an all-around decent smartphone that has the best camera and software performance you can find on an Android phone today.
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 ended the year 2017 with two premium flagship devices; Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL, carrying forward its legacy of much appreciated Pixel smartphones. The ever-established fact in the markets has been,the Google Pixel has a great camera performance and guess what, they didn't...
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.
Google Pixel 2 XL: Bigger isn't always better
The Pixel 2 XL releases next month, but is Google's plus-sized flagship really better than last year's effort?- Superb camera quality
- Great design
- Expensive
- Terrible display
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.
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.

The Google Pixel 2 XL is a strange phone to review and provide a final verdict on. I absolutely love Google’s Pixel phones, and I love using the Pixel 2 XL. There are so many things this phone does well; so many things it does better than its competitors.

- The best version of Android
- Excellent performance and battery life
- Significantly improved design, and it’s now water resistant
- Poor display for a flagship phone, which is really disappointing
- No headphone jack
- Expensive
