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.

very fast; long battery life; great screen; squeezable sides; latest version of Android and rapid updates; interesting built-in AI; water resistant; fantastic camera; unlimited photo and video backup

expensive; no expandable storage or removable battery; no headphone jack; no wireless charging

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;

Welcome to year two of Google Hardware. In 2016, Google jumped into the Android hardware space with its first self-branded device, the Google Pixel . Google's software prowess shined on the Pixel 1, offering up exclusive features like the Google Assistant, the best Android camera thanks to advanced...

Stock Android means you get a cohesive, unified interface in the OS, the Google apps, and the third-party apps, Google's optimizations mean you get unbelievable performance; This is the smoothest Android phone ever, The aluminum body feels great, and it's more durable than glass, Squeezing to open...

No 3.5mm headphone jack; On the Pixel 2 XL; you get a grainy display that looks bad in the dark and in VR; Why bother with front-facing speakers when the iPhone does just as well with a bottom-firing speaker; The smaller Pixel 2's design is downright embarrassing in 2017

I'm not going to pretend the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are perfect phones. The removal of the headphone jack is lame, and the smaller Pixel 2 still has too much bezel. I'd also like more control over Active Edge. If you already have always-on "OK Google" configured, the squeeze is a bit redundant.

Performance The Pixel 2 and 2 XL are consistently fast with impressively low touch latency; Build quality Solid aluminum construction with IP67 water-resistance; Battery life It's solidly above average; Software This is Google's vision of Android.

Design again The 5-inch Pixel 2 has rather large bezels; There are front-facing speakers embedded in them, but the device just looks a bit clunky, Headphone jack There isn't one on either phone, Camera again This is a minor one, but portrait mode is buggy.

Google has come a long way since the days of Nexus smartphones. This is only the second iteration of the Google Pixel and it shows how much Google's software and hardware have evolved in the past year. Both Pixel smartphones got a refined, yet simpler appearance.

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.

Great design; gorgeous OLED display; blazing-fast performance; market-leading camera; decent battery life; Android Oreo

No headphone jack; Active Edge is gimmicky; poor viewing angles; the price
