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.

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.

Even though more Android OEMs than ever before are using stock Android or near-stock Android software, the ecosystem remains highly fragmented. Every year Google releases its own Pixel phones to deliver premium and uncompromised experience to Android loyalists with a promise of up to 3 years of...
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
Long ago in a Galaxy far far away… oh forget them Last Jedi feels, actually not THAT long ago and in this very galaxy, Nokia had launched a device called the Lumia 1020. It boasted some very good hardware and software (Windows Phone was silky smooth, remember?) and had a distinct design.
