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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Protecting all the grand features in the upsized Pixel 2 XL is improved dust and water resistance.
Manufacturer: Google
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.
The phone is perfect for me, the build quality is amazing, camera is superb, battery lasts me more than a day. very snappy and fast software. Duel front facing speakers are amazing as well. The only thing I wish google made better is the screen.
Very fast; Best camera; Duel front facing speakers; Long lasting battery; Android vanilla
Display could've been better
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.
Both the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL show Google now has clear vision for its flagship smartphones. The design is distinctive and has character, the camera continues to be outstanding, and the software it very intelligent. We think the Pixel 2 XL's edge-to-edge screen makes it the one to go for.

Plastic-like metal; Screen slightly behind Samsung
The Google Pixel 2 XL is my new phone. I liked it that much I went out and bought one, so that should tell you everything you need to know about what I think about this handset. Is it perfect? No. But then nothing is, really.

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
For the second year running, the larger of the two Pixel devices released by Google is the more enticing. While the Pixel 2 sticks to a familiar blueprint, the Pixel 2 XL takes mimics the , and by slimming down the bezel and extending the display.
Stunning camera; The best version of Android; Minimal bezel; Feels great to hold
Lifeless screen
In fact, the Google Pixel 2 XL is arguably the best Android smartphone on the market right now thanks to its blazing-fast performance, slick Oreo OS and 12MP single-camera that, somehow, manages to outperform even its highest-specced competitors.
