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.

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.
Swapping over from Apple iOS I was a little hesitant... However I should have made the move sooner.. Absolutely love these aspects with the new ecosystem. - personalisation -battery life awesome -best camera EVER on a smartphone - never run out of storage with Google photos - Crazy fast charging -...
Amazing camera, amazing software experience and 3 years software updates from Google makes it the best smartphone. Got It on time as mentioned.
There is no question that the Google Pixel 2 XL is the best Android experience money can buy. It is the fastest-feeling, slickest and smoothest Android has ever been, putting it well on par with the quality of iOS.

Came out really well and on time delivery. Happy with my purchase experience.
There was never any doubt that the second Pixel phone would arrive with anything less than an amazing camera. It's really quick, of course, and has all of Google's top software features. It was always the design that would make or break it - and in many ways, Google has delivered. By going down the same 18:9 aspect ratio and skinny bezel route as Samsung, Apple, LG et al, Google has ensured the Pixel 2 XL feels as modern as its rivals - and that split glass-and-metal rear that was so divisive a year ago has aged better than a fine wine. Sure, finding room for stereo speakers has made it a bit bulkier than the competition, but it sounds fantastic as a result. If you don’t mind the size, and spending the extra, the XL is absolutely the Pixel 2 to buy - the smaller version just feels plain in comparison. It's expensive, but then what flagship phone isn't these days? Google didn’t quite manage it last year, but with the best hardware powering the best version of Android you'll find on any phone, anywhere, the Pixel 2 XL finally feels like the full package. Is it the best Android phone around? Not quite. The Galaxy S8 - and indeed the bigger S8+ - still just about pips it based on its sheer desirability, and comes a close second with camera quality. The XL easily slots in behind it, though. Google is properly in the game now, and other manufacturers are going to have to watch out.
Phenomenal camera; Beautiful display and matching audio; The best Android experience around;
Bezels still a little on the chunky side; No wireless charging or expandable storage;
Full screen design The Google Pixel 2 XL has that new and highly desirable full screen design. The Pixel 2 doesn't feature this, so this is one of the main reasons that consumers will want the Pixel 2 XL over its smaller cousin.
The Pixel 2 series is Google's second go at their own branded smartphones. It's been out for a few months now and has since received an update to Android 8.1. Our Google Pixel 2 XL review takes a look at the larger of the two recent smartphones released by the tech giant to see how it stacks up with...
