    Best Camera , Okay Specs , Horrible Display

    Had This Phone For A Couple Months And I'd Say This Phone Is The Best Phone For Its Value To Date. I Bought It For 400usd And I'm Satisfied With Everything This Phone Had To Offer. I Appreciate That This Phone Still Keeps It Unibody Design As Nowadays, Phones Are More Into Using Glass. The Camera Is Amazing With More Features To Come As It Has A Pixel Visual Core Meaning You'll Get Features From Newer Pixel Phones. Even Though It Has Only One Sensor At The Back, Don't Be Fooled By What It Can Do. It Can Go Up Against Even The Newest Flagship Phones Today Like The Galaxy S10 And The Huawei P30 Pro. Besides That, Battery Life Is Good However It Is Disappointing That This Phone Only Supports Power Delivery Chargers To Support Fast Charging Meaning That Qualcomm's Quick Charge Technology Does Not Work On This Phone. The Performance Is Still On Par With Today's Phone Even Though It Uses The Snapdragon 835 (2017 Chipsets) Because Of How Well It Is Optimized By Its Software. Bad News However, The Display Is Horrible. It Has Bad Viewing Angles And Even Though The Saturation Issues Has Been Fixed, I've Been Getting Weird Bugs Such As The Display Flashing When Turning Off The Display (due To Ambient Display) And Also Seeing Weird Screen Glitch At Random Times (however It Disappears Meaning It's A Software Problem. This Is All Depends On Your Model So Just Hope It Doesn't Happen. Overall, Im Very Satisfied With The Phone And I'd Totally Recommend This To You If You Want A Phone With Good Performance, Top Notch Camera And Clean Android Software. Trust me, this is still the best phone you can get for a budget in 2019.

    ONE OF MY BEST MOBILE

    It was a great experience with this mobile but, design is not as good as expected the glass which is back side of the phone is too easy to break that it just crack in to small parts when it fall from a small height it would be great if Google would change this problem

    An underwhelming successor!?

    Design: The pixel 2 XL has a taller form factor, similar to most other flagships of the year. The volume and power buttons are both in the right hand side. The volume buttons are metal, as usual. But the power button doesn't have the same click to it. The reason is that it is made of plastic. That said, the power button has a different (orange) color on the black and white 'panda' variant of the pixel 2 XL, which is always out of stock. The black colored one has a regular black power button through. The back of the phone is made of aluminum and is covered by a thick paint-like coating. Even Google doesn't have a single word to describe it. It is a lot similar to the primer like substance found coated on the LG G5 back in the day. It does not give that cold, solid metallic feel to the hand, but adds a little extra grip to it. The rest of the phone is pretty ergonomic. The sides of the display are bit curved around the edges, which feels a bit better than the pixel 2. That said, it isn't the same seamless curves as what you'd find on a Note 8 or an S8 at this point. The pixel range was never known for radical design concepts, and that's not going to change anytime soon. Display: The XL phone has a larger display with a more 2017 approved aspect ratio. That tall 18:9 tall form factor is a lot similar to the LG V30. It's not surprising really, since the pixel 2 XL was after all, made by LG. But unfortunately, the homemade P-OLED display panel that LG used on this phone isn't so good! You would know what I mean, if you've been keeping up with some viral tweets and other news. The display on the pixel 2 XL has some major color shifting issues. The display shows a noticeable bluish tint on viewing it at an inclination. I agree that no one holds their phones with the USB ports sticking to their noses, but it is annoying to see such a huge color shift on a premium flagship display. The smaller pixel 2, made by HTC, uses Samsung's display panels. Those classic AMOLEDs have no problems at all. So, big phone lovers will have to be concerned here. At normal distance, the display has no issues for most people. Some of us can obviously tell by pixel peeping that, it's not the best out there. Some other users reported that the display looks fuzzy and grainy to them, despite the QHD resolution. Overall, just bear in mind that the pixel 2 XL DOES NOT have the best display it there. It could have issues, and you will have to be ready to deal with it, should you buy it. More on purchase decisions later down this post. Performance: The pixel 2 XL has the same exact specs as it's smaller brother. The performance is just Golden standard, and it's the least I can say for a pixel phone! The animations are buttery smooth as usual, apps open quickly, multitasking on the Android Oreo 8.0 is great, it's a flagship beast through and through. There are a couple of interesting things that it does, better than other Android phones. It has a squeeze feature as mentioned in the earlier review. The active edge, which allows you to launch Google Assistant. You can set pressure sensitivity levels there, which is good. The 'now playing' feature which detects which song is playing in the background, using active microphones is pretty dope. It has an offline database on the device itself, so it works even on flight mode! The UI has improved a lot over previous generations. It has easier access to different options under settings, in the new layout. The notifications icons change their sizes, based in priorities and the time when they were created. The fingerprint sensor is now on the matal part instead of the glass visor, and is blazing fast. Image result for pixel 2 headphone jack dongle #DongleLife Oh, and in case I forgot to yell, THERE IS STILL NO HEADPHONE JACK. But, it's not all that bad living with a dongle. Feels like I'm contradicting myself, but I'm not. Google USB to 3.5 mm dongle works with other USB type c ports too! Unlike the HTC proprietary ones, the do goes included in the box work with other devices capable of outputting audio through their USB ports. At least Google kept that in mind which reduces the inconvenience by a fraction. But there is absolutely no justification for the removal of our beloved 3.5 mm jack, after making fun of other manufacturers last year! Camera: Let's try and stop myself from ranting, and get to the good stuff. The cameras on the pixel 2 XL are exactly the same ones from the pixel 2. The 12 mp optically stabilized sensors are what I'd like to call as the BEST AUTO shooters out there, period! There is no other phone that can take such jaw dropping pictures, consistently. Video had also been greatly improved, with addition of optical stabilization alongside electronic stabilization. It does seem to crop the frame, just like we saw with last year's pixel phones. But the frame thankfully doesn't cut off huge margins this time. There is still only one sensor on the back with dual pixels. What this essentially means is that each pixel had a left and right sub pixels. This helps it to distinguish between objects even better. So they managed to pull off excellent portrait modes using a single sensor. Interestingly, even the front 8 mp website without any dual pixel jazz can do portrait mode, simply using some intelligent algorithms. Google is pretty awesome when it comes to software tricks. Low light performance had also improved, thanks to a better quality lens used this time. No more ugly lens flaring issues, except a few instances while using HDR. Still no manual mode to be seen in the stock camera app, which is kind of a bummer. But like I said; it's the king of all Auto shooters out there right now. Battery: This XL has a bigger unit than its brother, as expected. The 3520 mAh unit lasts a very long time, over 6 hours on a moderate use day. Recharge times are also pretty fast thanks to Qualcomm quick charge. The phone does not get noticeably earn during rapid charging, which is always nice to see. Final verdict: it all comes down to this. The pixel 2 XL has some display issues, it doesn't bring anything radically new to the table. So should you buy this 800 USD flaghip, in the presence of the Galaxy S8+ and some others? Pixel is not about making news for being the first at something. It's about getting all the essentials together and doing it better than the competition. It's like the iPhone of the Android side. I've said the same thing last year too.

    just read full review...

    4gb ram, 18:9 ratio, 5.9 or 6 inch screen is not a very big deal. But when it comes to give a review, I support google for the price.

    WHY GOOGLE? JUST WHY??

    Google, inspired by Apple, now makes shit with less features and double price. I considered google as the leader of Android, now google is just trying to launder as much money as possible with minimal efforts. Selling overrated crap to blind followers with double the price is the smartest business trick trick of apple and now google too. People now a days just run behind big brand. Ane the companies have realised that whatever shit they make at whatever price, people WILL fucking buy it. And people really don't realise! the fuck is wrong with people now a days? People now use overpriced smartphones as fucking jewelleries.
