Latest Google Camera mod enables Super Res Zoom and Astrophotography for Pixel and Pixel 2

Sammy

Hi im using pixel from 1-3 Yes it worth to change from p1 to p2 Photo is veryyyyyy good compare to pixel 1. I prefer p2 over p3 camera. And i buy just rm6++ (usd 15+ i think) for pixel 2 64gb very worth it.and free unlimited photo cloud storage until 16jan 2021. My p2 battery also good.after upgrade 10 i can restrain certain app from running background, for my normal usage battery still 55% after 12 hours (from 6am to 6.12pm) Location is on and using wifi in the office.

I think it is the best value of money phone and it has minor advantage over pixel 3 this phone has better efficient processor sd 835 over sd845 and notification led indicator which is off by default and most of the people don't know that there pixel 2 has a notification LED and i love cut and paste feature from recent app only provide in pixel phone. I have only 2 wishes from Google pleased unlocked e-sim so can we use it as dual sim phone and update high resolution zoom in Pixel 2 please.

Pal9

I have iPhone 6 and I think only and only pixel 2 is the best alternative of iPhone. I am really happy with the camera, squeeze, sAMOLED display, dual stereo speaker, cut and paste in recent screen and last it has amazing bettery life. Thanks Google for invented this so beautiful and productive phone.

Great phn but few possible glitches to experience... -.absolute no call recording facility poss( due to android 9,10) .tried many apps .no workaround yet visible for non rooted phn Could be a problem for some.. Asus n Redmi phns with android 9 have call recording working .. - get adapters for usb tethering for desktop - same problems of stock android like no gallery, plain contact book etc - Apprehensive about service support after warranty. Good points- Surprised with battery though ..2700 looks bit less but worked nice for me.. - smooth android 10 experience..digital well being.. etc .. Camera of course..is awesome..prime reason to get the phn.. Overall 2 reasons to buy Camera n OS support.. Else I would definitely go for galaxy note 8 n above which was my other choice while deciding.. Bought just for experience of using Pixel . I guess other company phones could be more practical to many for various reasons.. Dual sim , card storage cheaper accessories, better support n service .etc.. It's like paying for a special eco system Google wants to develop like Apple.. even though the hardware is as we know is from LG n HTC ( none of them being front runners by any means) Just the software support of Google makes this a worthy phone. In the end.. if u really want to be practical no reason to buy this . If looking for an iPhone alternative in Android this fits perfectly for u...

The double tap to show ambient display (Always on Display) is gone after the android 10. I dont want to have always on display on all the time. In previous os, android pie, i had double tap to show for a few seconds. Is there any way to set it up or workaround?

I’m 99.9% sure it does. Look at the specification sheet :)

Yes, it recognizes your voice for authentication. You can also turn this feature off in the settings.

Hi, need some opinions, was thinking of upgrading my pixel 1 to this 2nd gen pixel, any big difference overall? Or should I jump straight to 3? A ittle tight on budget though. Does the blur shot needs to e tilt like the pixel 1 for the cam? Thanks for replies on advance ya.

Hi, I not sure other 2 phones, but I'm using Pixel2, the battery capacity is big, so you may needed to charge few times in a day. (Is OK for me, because I always charge my phone)

yoyo

Can anyone tell me which of these phone is worth buying...LG G7(us unlocked version),LG V30(korean version) or Pixel 2,as all these phones are in the same price point. I am currently using Lenovo P2,which has a massive battery life that usually last me over 12++ SoT in a single charge.I dont have any significant problem with the phone,it just that the camera on this phone is just average,not bad. My concern when choosing a phone is the battery life and camera.I dont usually play game,i just like to browse the internet/media or watching youtube. So any suggestions guys?

yes, android Q and android S

I bought a used terminal (i dont know how many recharges was done untill i got it) but the battery seems to be very good. About 2 days on a medium usage of calls and internet.

Johnny Olteanu

Excellent phone. Besides the up and down bezels that are a little bit to big (especially for non XL version), the phone is great still in June 2019. One of the best camera on the market on a ridiculous low price of about 250$ for an used device. Android OS works like a charm on this phone.

How to downgrade from android 9 to android 8. ??

M&M

Excellent performance. The Google services/software is the best thing you can wish. I never saw something like that before. However, poor battery. I´m a heavy use user and I used to charge it 2 or 3 times per day, just taking pics and texting or using Twitter. (I don´t play games in my cell). The battery charging is fast, so, is not big deal. But is really annoying hang your power bank every were you go... Excellent camera... I have no words... I bought it for that specific reason, and I have no complains... It was exactly that I was looking for. Iphone X and Galaxy S8 have nothing to do against it (I know about what I´m talking about, ok?)... And the night mode camera (night shift)... all my friends were really jealous about it... Excellent for indoors pictures or night pictures. The pure Android interface... beautiful. Intuitive, and really helpful. Perfect. But, please, don´t buy it. If you have enough money, please try the 2XL version (idem, but it have a really bigger screen and battery). It´s awesome. Don´t buy the small model if you don´t have enough money for the XL version. Battery is not enough and the difference between both screens is really stunning. And if you already have one: DO NEVER PUT IT INTO THE WATER!!! Take my advise. I lost my last pixel for that reason. keep it as far as the water as you can. I made a few pics under the water a few weeks ago, just a few cm under the surface, and for less than a minute. And I washed it a few times in my bath, just less than a minute under the water flow... And game over. One day the screen turned of. When the tech service open it, it was rust marks, close to the connection port. To be fair, I have seen same problems in other models of cellphones, including Galaxys with IP67 and 68 protection. A few Iphones to. But that´s my experience. Just less than a minute per week under the water, and it was death before a month. PD: if you are searching for a case for pixels, and you don´t wanna pay 50 bucks for the original case, try with the Spigen serial cases. I always buy that cases. Less than 30 bucks. Excellent protection. Strong. And they look really fine. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your Pixel 2XL

Hey. I can buy Pixel 2 and MI 8 SE for about similar prices. Which shld I go for. I want the Pixel 2 course got good camera and fast updates but MI 8 SE has 6gb ram and a better battery, also like both stock Android and MIUI

Giedrius

Its a good phone, but Im not really sure about it. I want to like it, but somehow I don't. Every youtuber is raving about software but I actually find it small, confusing and, compared to Huawei Mate 20 Lite EMUI, it lacks features. It has great camera, I give that to it, but apart from that I find it hard to recommend it. Also compared to before mentioned Huawei, Pixel 2 has poor battery life, though its on par or slightly better then my spare iPhone 6s. So all in all to me its an odd phone and I find it difficult to use. Its weird but I'd rather use cheap Huawei phone than Pixel 2. Or better still - an iPhone.

Anonymous

This is an incredibly underrated phone. I sold my pixel 2 XL a year ago and then bought this after cracking my iphone SE. Never looking back! the bezels don't look bad at all, the display kicks the pixel 2 XL's ass even with the smaller size, and the speakers are much better with less crackling too. The build quality is tremendous and android 9 is butter-smooth on it. This was HTC's last hurrah and I intend to keep mine for as many years as possible!

AK

I am a big fan of Pixel 2's camera, but I'll go with Samsung S8. Because it has very great design and specs are almost similar with Pixel 2. I'll be installing gcam on my S8 and making it camera beast like Pixel 2 :)

Hi, please let us know the contact number or email of GOOGLE PIXEL 2 technical support team. Thank you.

Apoorva

I bought pixel2 a year back.within 4 months my charger had some issue. Around 3 months back my mobile was not charging so they took my mobile to the service factory and changed MOTHER BOARD and returned my mobile after 15 days. But again I got the same issue after 2+ months and they changed MOTHER BOARD again. And it took abviously 15+days. I can't believe Google mobile will have mother board issues with in a year that too within a 2 months span. And worst part is support team doesn't acknowledge this and they will not replace or extend your warranty. Which they are supposed to do according to their warranty policy. Worst mobile. For the same price any other brand mobile would be great atleast they will have MOTHER BOARD issues. Which is the MAIN PART of mobile.

Google Pixel 2 India Support - My phone crashed on its own and went into the bootsrap mode. Everything else except the support is good about the phone. They don't have a support center in India and they will pick your device service it and bring it back. Takes about 3 weeks. I have given my phone 5 days back and have no status update from them except that the device is collected. In our country where even big gadgets are repaired and send within a week need to wait for 15 working days for the most important gadget that is your own phone and rely on their partners like B2X who are least sensitive about your emergency of getting the phone back

R98

Pixel 2 is great in general, but the review couldnt be more biased on the video section: while stills are ones of the best, video is the oposite. It is just functional video: doesnt look beautiful, colors are just wrong, full of noise... and this review is trying to say it excelent, even saying it has better color rendering than iPhone (best video camera) when in reality it doesnt even have decent colors. Just wow.

Best thing is back camera design.

NathanCE

These are good phones but the back camera design is just so ugly compared to the Pixel 2 XL or Pixel 3.

fizspc

Best phone so far. Before used Samsung. Google never lag. Has good processor. Works fine with everything. Really like alll the updates. Camera updates, etc... I am using one year this phone - no problems. Battery keeps one day if not doing a lot. If using internet a lot can take 12hours.

Adel J

Best best phone ever made. I'm enjoying everything about it.

Latz

As far as i can see your problems are hardware related and you start your story with someone throwing the phone package 6ft away -- what can support do in that case, if someone broke (damaged) your phone .... ?

Latz

Size of the bezel has nothing to do with build quality being good or bad ....

Latz

Litteraly had none of the problems you're stating - Bad touch sensitivity?? Charging port - no problem there either.... You maybe having a one of doesn't mean the entire product is bad ... ridiculous.

NoRootForU

You could get an "Unlocked" non-verizon model that none the less refuses to unlock. Unless you buy direct from google (and pay for it!) You could end up with an unrootable phone.

sallablue

Worst Phone i ever had. Worst than Microsoft Lumina. I should have sticked with my Lumina. 600$ spent on garbage. Don't ever buy google pixel series. Bad touch sensitivity, Charging port sucks and bad quality bought from fido.

techmaxguru

The price on this page was the price that this is posted. So it's approximately the price during that time. The price of pixel 2 now is around 500usd which will be lesser since pixel 3 is already out.

The Pixel 2 has been a nightmare before I even got it. To start, Google used OnTrac to ship my package. For those that don't know them, they are notorious for throwing packages and will only deliver to your front door, even if you tell them not to. My package arrived in my area but was not delivered until several days later, after I threatened to drive 1.5 hours to pick it up. It seemed they "lost" the package then told me that it was actually at a holding facility in my city, which doesn't actually exist. And to top it off, there was a huge sign telling OnTrac to deliver it to the garage, not front door. My cameras caught them throwing the package on the walkway to my house, about 6ft from my actual door. I got the phone and it was great when I needed to contact Google support. The speaker would intermittently stop working during VoIP calls and there would be a buzzing noise. The support person went through some basic troubleshooting and said that because it wasn't consistent there was nothing they could do. So I just want on with my broken speaker. Then, about a week ago, I went to answer a call and the person on the other line couldn't hear me. After a few tries, I realized it was my phone. The microphone stopped working while on calls. Great. Somehow it only worked if I put the phone on speaker every time. Also, my speaker is now broken so it doesn't amplify the sound anymore. I get heavy buzzing and I have to put it close to my ear. So I contacted Google support and they went through the same troubleshooting steps as last time. I had to send a bug report and it came back that I needed a replacement phone. By the way, Google does NOT do repairs like they did on the original Pixel when it had widespread speaker issues. I would have preferred this option as their refurbished phones are no good (Google it). Anyway, I get back to them with the necessary info then I hear nothing back. So I contact Google again just to ask them about when they are going to send me a replacement. I get transferred to 3 people over the course of the chat and none of them believe me that Google will replace my device. The third person was still trying to confirm that I was even having an issue and wanted me to do a factory reset, to which I refused. Then I had to literally copy/paste the emails I received from the other support person confirming that I was sent a bug report email, the bug report itself, then a copy of the email where they tell me that I need a replacement phone. After waiting for 2.5 hours, they give me the two worst options for replacement: Standard or Advanced. For standard replacement, you first send them your phone and better make sure it's backed up because you need to wipe it and send it back. You get your refurbished phone in 5-10 days so you're SOL if you don't have a spare. In the advanced replacement, you "buy" the phone and get a lovely $650 hold on your credit card. It's really the only option if you want to be sure that you've backed up everything. And by the way, the refurbished junk you'll get is not equal to the full retail price of a brand new Pixel 2. I know my comment isn't about the phone as much as the customer service but it's extremely important to know what you're getting into when purchasing a Pixel 2. Google no longer stands by their products by doing repairs and the support people I've dealt with were all incompetent. Although the phone itself isn't bad when it works, this encounter has turned me away from ever purchasing another Google phone in the future.

I purchase Google Pixel 2 from Flipkart in January 2018. Within a span of 8 months the phone has got problems 2 times. Twice I had to send my phone for repair to the service centre. It takes 10+ days every time. For the first time, there was some issue with phone charging. It took me more than 2 hours of communication over phone with Google support team before they took my phone for repair. They took more than 10 days to repair and send back my phone. This time, the issue is coming with vibration in phone. The phone is not vibrating. I have already spent more than an hour with Google support team on phone. Then, they took my phone for repair on 11 Sept 2018. It has been more than 10 days now and they have not sent my phone back. The technician who came to take the phone told me that since the issue is coming again, we will repair this on priority and you will get your phone within a week at max. But I am yet to receive my phone. 1. Technician who took my phone, told me that I can contact him for knowing status of my phone. I am repeatedly calling him and he is not picking up his phone. He sees my messages on WhatsApp but do not respond. 2. Tried emailing Google support team @ “[email protected]”, no response from their end as well. 3. Posted on Google Facebook page, sent them a direct message, no response from there as well. 4. Sent a tweet/message on Twitter. There also they are responding inconsistently. 5. Asked Google support team multiple times for an email id on which I can complain/escalate this matter, they are saying they don’t have such email id. What kind of company do not provide a email id/forum for escalations/complains. How are customers suppose to escalate the issue in writing. They say they just have voice support for Pixel devices in India. I have tried reaching Google on multiple forums but with no help whatsoever. I have paid Rs. 45,000 for this phone and in span of 8 months it got issues twice. Out of eight months it has spent approximately a month at service centre. I am really frustrated by the pathetic support I am getting.

My experience with pixel 2 haven't been good til now. after pie update wifi drops continuously. not that great with user experience as well frozen multiple times by now. I suggest to wait for pixel 3 or go for something else.

Guys I am looking for a new mobile and I was interested in Pixel 2 for stock android and camera along with all the updates with good music quality. It is available for around 560$ and then I checked out OnePlus 6 which is available for 475$. What do you suggest I should buy. Or something similar in performance, camera and music and in same price range.

thnutz

If it doesn't have it by default you can add it. It's not a pixel thing it's an android thing.

Don't have shortcut on dropdown menu, but I disable it since not use it include cloud printing in the setting.

My question isn't much about the NFC feature. What i was asking is does it have the NFC toggle on the drop down quick shortcuts?

Anonymous

I am pretty sure it must have NFC as I have seen people using Google Pay app as counters/checkouts , which must mean NFC is available.

Someone says it doesn't whilst you are saying it has. So, what is the real deal here?

Hi sorry bother here, someone notice internet speed in the device? I using pixel 2 xl and lg v30+ my mobile network (band 40) can reach about 1-2 mbps only test using fast.com But when I switch simcard on xperia x compact it can reach around 8-14 mbps testing using same google chrome and fast.com weird if my flagship phone internet slow but not old xperia x compact phone????

RandomUser

Do NOT buy the Pixel. Although specs are good, but please take consideration of the bad Google Support: I have a Nexus 6P, it is shutting down at 97% battery level. Please look at the above link to find all the people reported this bug since 2017 (I reported mine in March 2018 - they replied saying it's EOL - although EOL date is September 2018). This happened twice (2017 March security update and 2018 January security update - the device came out in 2016). Google will NOT respond to your issue although they caused it (since it happens on multiple Samsung and Huawei phones). I had Nexus devices multiple times (Nexus 5 - LG, Nexus 7 tablet and Nexus 6P), I thought they Google partner devices would get a bit better services, but turns out I was wrong. Please do NOT get the Pixel. I am sick of Google's bad service, lack of responses and lack of responsibility (you create a bug, then please fix it), I will be switching to an iPhone (this is for disclaimer purpose to let everyone know my stand point). Buy one at your own risk.

Does the Pixel 2 & XL have an NFC toggle (similar to Sony or Samsung phones) that you can toggle on & off quickly without going to the Settings?

I'm using this phone for about 4 month. Its an amazing phone with an old style but decent size. The battery backup is very good for 2700 Mah, super first compare to other flagship phone. Both front and rear camera take very smooth natural picture rather than over saturate.

Awesome camera fast, excellent quality, excellent post processing, excellent image stabilization when filming, nice physical design, a little tall for the screen size, I love stereo speakers, back of the pone is slippery, which is BAD, better the back of the Motorola G series that it doesn't slip so easy, very well optimized OS, very fast, fantastic scroll, excellent signal quality/level excellent AC connectivity in WiFi, charges the battery in 45 minutes, battery is a little small for my taste, why not a 3000 Mah ? c´mon!, the worst: there is no headphone jack, and using the adapter sounds like CRAP, audio quality in the headphone is AWFUL , how can someone design such a good headphone and make is sound so shitty with 32 ohms quality headphones, my old moto G4 (XT1621) sounds 100 times better and more powerful, PRETTY PLEASE put the headphone jack back and fix the crappy audio when using headphones, it is the only bad thing i have to say about this phone everything else is fantastic.

Walter C. Dornez

Indeed, it depends on the user

Crazy-cupcakes-2017

Plus it's well optimized (I think) - my nokia 8 only has 3000mAh and batery life is pretty great (using 3000mAh as reference - bcos nokia 8 has a 5.3 QHD panel vs pixel 2's FHD panel) So yes it should have pretty much "okay" batery life (depending on the user always)

Yes, that would be nice. But the fact is that it will use up more money, time and resources, so if they only produce flagships then they can focus everything into them instead of spreading their resources out too much.

I fell like I dodged a Pixel 2 bullet! When I first received it, I liked it - but battery life was terrible. Over the next few days, it seemed to get better, so I thought maybe the battery had been sitting and just needed some use to get it conditioned and working correctly. There were other little glitches, but overall the phone was really nice and I started getting pretty fond of it and decided to keep it. Then a few days before my return period expired, the volume of the ringtone and alarm was barely audible even turned all the way to HIGH. The media volume was dropped as well, but not as severely as the ringtone and alarm volume - which were both literally just barely audible, even held close to the ear. I searched online for solutions. I made sure "Ascending volume" was turned off. I rebooted. No change. I rebooted into SAFE mode. No change. I tried for THREE days to find a solution to my problem. No dice. During those three days, some of the "other little glitches" re-occurred - like the battery intermittently not wanting to charge when plugged in... Enough! I checked and I had TWO DAYS left in my return window!!! YES! Saved from a lemon - dodged a Pixel 2 bullet. Return authorization requested!! Now... I just don't know what to get. I'm not into Samsung or Apple - does anybody else make a real phone? Is the HTC U11 any good? Holy monopoly, Batman! Where are the alternatives in the smartphone world to Samsung and Apple?

Probably because it was made by Google, simple as that :D

Hi guys! I am wondering if i should buy the Google Pixel 2 or another cheaper phone like the LG G6 or the HTC U11/Ultra. Thank´s in advance for any advise =)

Td meekee gallant

Like seriously the battery is not so satisfying

Ali

I hv compared pixel 2 with redmi 5 plus ...both are similer in aps opening only differnce is on games...regarding camera ...there is a difference but its not day and night difference ...i dont know whh people spemd 700$ on phones...even cheaper phone can provide you the same comfort ..and satisfaction..buy redmi 5 plus ..180$...

Nexus 5

Lol its your fault mate.. Next time be more careful with the device. Why would they help you only because you was not careful enought? I wouldnt too

RObert

why Google put little battary only 2700 mAh. they can put 3000 mAh easily.

John Galt

It's a nice phone with an awesome camera but it is really fragile. I dropped mine from my pocket to a wooden floor. Not a big hit. That was enough to break the LCD screen (not the glass) and the charging port. Phone was 4 months old, and Google would not exchange it. Took it to Ubreakifix, and authorized dealer, $129 for the screen and $40 for the charging port + Tax. I won't buy again.

Go for pixel 2

AnonD-542833

Go for Pixel 2, as it has stock UI, guaranteed updates/upgrades and less bloatware. As for Xperia, don't know much about how these devices work, but a few years ago when I decided to buy my first Android device, I tried an Xperia M and almost bought it. But as I watched a review on youtube which showed that the device has poor network issue for voice calling, I changed my decision and went to my first Galaxy device. Anyway, that is my personal experience. You should take a good demo of the devices first and then the buy the one which you like most.

i think this is the best mobile i had ever seen with amazing features and stylish look.

Haven't you ever used any Android phone? Home screen can be designed and laid out just as you like with launcher app like Nova

question:

can the google search bar on the home screen be removed?

AnonD-481725

This this definitely, except the design, S8 has no chance in anything.

AnonD-481725

This is way way better in all aspects, regarding to the price yes it is pricey XD.

I'd pick Pixel 2 any day. When I use iPhone 6 OS updates slowed down my phone significantly after years of use (let alone 4 years), while Android, which was Sony and LG back then, OS updates made my phone even snappier. As a bonus if you get new iOS update maybe so does your friend but when you get new Android update, your friends with Samsung hasn't! You'd feel better :) And let's not forget that Pixel 2 has 2 years product warranty thanks to bigger sibling's screen fiasco.

It wouldseem that google cert team has google seamless so if pixel 2amd or3 comes avaialable shouldnt dissappoint.

AnonD-553488

guys which phone do you recommend, pixel 2 or iPhone 8 (not interested in Samsung phones). Pixel 2 has portrait modes and few more good features but software/security support for maybe 2 more years while iPhone 8 at the same price in India will give software support for at least 4 more years. I mostly use Google apps so wanted to buy Pixel 2, but worried about support and after-sales service in India. Also, for Apple we have stores every few kilometers and availability of accessories like the homepod, watch and airpods is easy while google has no stores nor do we get any google accessories here like home speakers, pixel buds etc. here. Which phone to choose really confused.

Why is this so pricey??.... just a 5incher!! this or S7 be better plz???

Why isn't this border less design like the XL version? I am going to skip the pixel for the second time, maybe 3rd pixel will be my next phone!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Chinese government restrict connection to specific sites? Most Google-related services are banned, I heard. Are you using VPN, proxy service or whatever to avoid that? If no, better ask your friend

I got a pixel 2 in china, through a friend in india by flipkart , i can't update the os tried several times, just says installing security update ,for several hours the same screen after few hours it says couldn't download, can anyone tell what i can do to solve this problem? The phone is still running 8.0. and also the selfie portrait isn't working

One more gripe. Not only omitting headphone jack, it (most likely deliberately) omits Miracast. Both are inexcusable, evil intents. I love this phone overall though

Google sucks at all design: their apps, their Android UI, their phones. They good at storing info and serve it to you. Sad they think otherwise.

Really good ideas but you know sadly they have theirs

I got mine a couple of days ago and absolutely love it. The camera is great, this is practically going to be my digital camera. The battery life is significant upgrade from OnePlus 3T, and I get 6 hour of screen-on-time with every function turned all on (including always on display), auto brightness, aggressively connecting Bluetooth devices, watching YouTube using speaker.. I don't play game though. Sadly, aside from superb camera, almost all the goodnesses of this phone are invisible; timely update, extended guarantee, stability, photo storage, squeeze, etc. so there is no wonder Pixel is being battered and called overpriced. P.S. Listen up Google, I've been using Bluetooth headphones since 2012 and now I bought Pixel 2, but I NEVER mean to forgive them for removing headphone jack by any means! It's nothing like "removing USB-A", "removing RGB Port" thing, because removing 3.5mm jack doesn't bring any benefit nor evolution at all!

Anonymous

How often camera app stop working and how about the battery life ? thinking to get one tomorrow.

Parbinder Singh

Well regarding pricing, on offer this handset costs Rs.40,000/- but the sad part is that my Pixel 2 created problems 3 times and each time Google is replacing the handset with a new one, today I am going to receive my 3rd replacement. Hope this time it works perfect 1st Set Camera app stop responding, 2nd Set Power Button stop functioning, 3rd Set extreme overheating that too before the Feb update. Still I like the set due to its perfect size, speed, camera and hopes that atleast the phone works perfectly

AnonD-569198

TL;DR

Lokesh

Seems a bit overpriced for price sensitive markets like India, in spite of the regular offers. While Samsung and Chinese handset manufacturers have cracked the pricing code in India, Google lags behind...

303tk4

Sorry to hear that mate That's not general thing of Android, but certainly the battery drain bug caused by notorious February security update for pixel, and patche's coming soon. Before that happened, users report excellent battery life in their reviews here and there. Isn't it too early to jump into a conclusion? A lot of YouTubers I sub left iphone in favor of pixel. And I'm almost buying mine.. I understood it's 100% Google's fault and not your fault, anyway.

Saifullah Ali

Switched from iPhone 6 to android with this device. Expected a lot. But had to face the reality. I mean the camera was really good. But the Battery drains very quickly. I stopped all the background data/refresh. Then started deleting apps that i installed. Best i got, ~18 hrs after full recharge. Even if i keep the device idle,without touching a bit, it loses 5% battery. One more thing, bottom part of the screen sometimes became unresponsive. Returned it after 5 days use.

@Lukong, Google provides limitless storage in the cloud, that is actually a feature of the phone, so your device should always have space when it needs it. Your device negotiates the uploads with your associated Google account, and whatever is uploaded will still be accessible even if you switch to a non-Google phone later.

Google's R&D department need firing. First of all, the designs of the phone suck. They give the smaller phone chunky bezels, and for the XL device they use an inferior LG screen. I was tempted by the camera & clean Android exp but I'll wait and see if the Pixel 3 is any better.

Abby

I would suggest a dslr as you have full control of the imagers you take and have the option of other lenses. You will be able to creat exactly what you want to creat.

AnonD-725849

For actual photography system camera can always give best results with dedicated lenses for different purposes. Cameras crammed into tiny space in phones are even more compromise, than compact cameras and able to fit only single focal length lens. While bigger fixed lens cameras can have quite a lots of zoom range and versatility... Though at the expense of pocketability. Which is where system cameras compromise: While in fixed lens compacts you have even heavily ruggerized and waterproofed cameras (like Olympus Tough serie) in pocketable size, in system cameras you really don't have much of pocketability. Especially in DSLRs, which with their flapping mirrors are still semi analog in design. Besides that mirror hampering full integration of video shooting... To use analogy DSLRs are like smartphone with old rotary dial. Only area where they have overall advantage over mirrorless is fast moving target tracking, thanks to phase detection AF. (which is now found only from some mirrorless bodies) That mirror box causes it's own limits to lens design heavily increasing size of wide angle lenses. Analog film era legacy sensor formats add their requirements to lenses. So when you add more than one lens amount of stuff needing carrying starts to increase fast. And no matter how capable equipment is it doesn't take any photos (not even badly composed/framed/exposed/focused ones) if you don't bother to carry it much, because of bulk/weight! Reason why traditional cameras have lost share in photography to cameras built into phones is convenience. With even tiny digital sensors exceeding performance of 35mm film (smallest analog format good enough for most uses) there's very little need for those legacy formats for general consumer use. "Four Thirds" format of Olympus (+Panasonic) designed without film era legacy baggage of Canon/Nikon strikes very good balance for that: While technically not as good in everything as bigger formats skilled photographer using proper lenses can produce fully same level quality than typical Canikon DSLRs in not so many years ago. More importantly it allows very good scaling in lenses, depending if user wants smaller and lighter system or more quality/performance and ergonomy. In some lens types you can get that high optical quality in really small size and light weight compared to film era legacy systems. And it has way largest lens selection of mirrorless systems all the way to higher optical and construction quality lenses with two manufacturers invested in it.

Pixel and Pixel2 both have the same camera Einstein!!!

you should go for pixel2 . becose i have it and its camera is just amazing rather then dslr

AnonD-542833

Both One Plus 5T and Google Pixel 2 is great choice. But I guess Pixel 2 is a better choice in the two as it will get more upgrade and updates in next few months. As for using 3/4 years, it is impossible. May be you can use a laptop (mine is 6 years old with a second new original battery and keyboard) for 4/5 years. But a smartphone is impossible, as first now a days the battery is seal packed and as the battery dies, the phone dies. Second software upgrades every year with new features and technology and third new innovative hardware like the new dual cameras/long 18:9 screen etc. So, my opinion is don't go for very high end device like 40K/50K, but a mid range in maximum 25K and use it for 2 or maximum 3 years. than buy a new one. Currently I am using a J7 Prime (nouget) for one year and will keep it for till next year. Than I will buy a new device with Android P. Regards.

AnonD-542833

If you are really serious about photography than go for a DSLR, because you can customize with various lenses like wide, telephoto etc. My cousin brother is a doctor and photography is his serious hobby and a he uses a Nikkon DSLR from D series. Trust me his photographs are really amazing. He won many awards and appreciation. So, I will suggest you to go for a well branded DSLR from Nikkon or Cannon. They will last long, have many Lense options and more professional than a smartphone camera. Regards.

Today i got 8.1 update...(india)

Fata Morgana

I've had a Pixel 2 for a week and opted to return it. It is a decent device, but not much of an upgrade from the original. The dongle works but is cumbersome. The quality of the sound using the dongle is quite good, better than the original Pixel's jack but it's just not worth the hassle. Overall performance is pretty snappy, but not a huge improvement over the original. Bluetooth reliability has been improved. The giant bezel makes it look old. Having the latest and greatest software updates is not much of an advantage. Bottom line, unfortunately, the Pixel 2 is just not much of an upgrade.

No December update p

I purchased pixel 2 couple of days ago, have seen announcement of 8.1 on pixel and rollout is already initiated. But I did get only 1 update so far and no December security patch for 8.1. Is it available on OTA in India ? Still on November security patch, what's wrong here ? Did anyone from India got 8.1 OTA update ?

Few facts, Samsung is always year or two ahead of the android, from "multitasking" to other features.

Comparing this to my S8 is just sad, ironically Pixel 2 is even more expensive in my country, and is newer production date.

Last year's designs were better.

AnonD-719794

There is no better Android phone on the market for the price: don't buy it. Google is a great designer, and did very well. But they forgot one thing: the customers. Google has repeatedly sacrificed user interface for money. We see this when you have to buy Verizon (12 months on cheapest plan costs more than the base pho e), or pay $200 extra. YouTube is a direct app, despite the phone's capability to have it be an indirect one. This means you must have the YouTube app open or the YouTube tab open for sound to play. On a Google chromebook, and any other device, YouTube can play in the background. This useful feature is conveniently locked behind a paywall, and you need YouTube Red (also trash and screws small YouTubers) to have that feature. To top it all off, I have had 3 adds for Uber on the same YouTube page almost every video (including video adds), despite me telling Google "not interested," and "already seen this." I have a car, I don't need Uber. You can't get a better made Android for the price, but you will pay for it in headaches and frustrations. Don't buy it, try and see if Google learns from it's mistakes in the Pixel 3. I hope it does...

AnonD-719477

I actually use wired headphones as a matter of choice and probably you should too...because bluetooth is a wireless device and adds to wireless radiation around you..so you want to avoid further radiation or bathe in more wire less radiation??

AnonD-718339

After I had a Pixel 2 for 3 week I ended up returning it. It would've been a great phone, if it wasn't plagued by issues that are seemingly ignored by Google. My Pixel 2 was randomly rebooting itself, despite resorting to the Pixel Community for help as per suggested by Google. I ran it in Safe Mode, did a Factory Reset, even wiped its Cache Partition, yet still, it randomly reboots. This is an issue that plagues hundreds of users, but since it's just hundreds of users, Google doesn't see it as a high priority. On top of the random reboots, the device also makes a high pitched coil whine when making phone calls, this is also not a common issue, though affecting hundreds of devices. Anyone looking to buy a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL should be aware that their device might be plagued with these issue as well. I would strongly recommend waiting for Google to fix these issues before dropping your money on these devices.

The Nokia 8 can compete with the pixel 2 in a number of area's sure. For camera quality though it isn't even close, the pixel 2 isn't just a league above its more like 3 league's. But yes the Nokia 8 could be argued to be better value for money at £399, it's camera is bad though.

AnonD-431150

People like me, who reasonable treat a smartphone as simply a smartphone, need to justify paying £629 (at carphonewarehouse) for a phone. It'd be better to price it at £500 and give the rest to charity. But I'll wait a bit longer when carphonewarehouse slashes the price as it did with Pixel XL at reasonable £399.

AnonD-628117

With the same design as last year, a screen that doesn't get any brighter and a battery that is marginally better, Google has not really done enough IMO. IP67 is welcome though. Nokia 8 seems better value (now £399 in UK).

No headphone jack kills it for me. Don't tell me about Bluetooth, I've tried several versions and they just don't work consistently well. There are NO good USB-C earbuds yet. If either of those two ever come about, I'd go for it. My first gen Pixel works just fine. NO THANKS GOOGLE!

Since my last post about 10 days ago, I'm still having a good experience with the Pixel 2. The only issue I get is that I am unable to use the built in file Manager in the way that it will only let me move files to the Downloads folder. Can't transfer to any other folder. Thus I cant even move to an OTG connected sd card. The only solution is to use a third party File Manager App. Also, if you still haven't got the November 5th patch with the vivid colours, you need to manually search while connected to WIFI.

Thats on the XL brah... cheers!

phone too big for the screen size. this thing should be made a compact

AnonD-568602

You should never buy a phone (2 XL) today based on the promise of a software tomorrow. And make no mistake: I do not believe that Google’s software changes are going to alter the experience of this screen.

Camera is phenomenal, videos are like it's on rails, image stabilization is fantastic as is it's night cababilities. Recorded a video in a nightclub and it not only shows clearly in the dark it responds quickly to bright lights and doesn't over expose. As close a phone camera to your own eyes as I've seen.

Too big for the phone with the fingerprint sensor on the back. Too expensive. Too small battery capacity. Typical HTC (& SONY, unfortunately) characteristic. Sorry guys, but you should look at Chinese and Korean friends, and learn how to make modern phones.

Using it for since a week. As of now, am facing heating and battery drain problem. Just 40 mins of whatsapp usage drained 30% of battery. The photos app drained some 25% for some 10 mins usage and the phone has hardly 4 photos. The stereo speakers sound so good.

Read some review on DxO Mark, Google Pixel 2 camera surpassing iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in almost every aspect, simply the Pixel 2 is the Best camera phones at least for now. Since Nexus 5x, 6P, and Pixel, Google really have good experience of making a really good camera phones.

Man i was very correct. Typical in present era big companies brainwashing other people usualy with advertising and other crap. But this advertising is so expensive that raise the phone price by margain number in case of companies like apple is 30%. Rest is other useless thigs which basic consumer ignore. Like sallary of CEO. Transport from china to world etc. In case of ceo an US worker earn per month same money or even more than company leader in china. No matter how you look at is very real.

Bezels on a phone don't bother me, but I also haven't had a phone without them. The camera on this thing is great, as are the front-facing speakers and IP67 dust/water resistance. USB-C is a lint magnet, but I'd rather have that than a proprietary connector. Losing a headphone jack is slightly annoying, but life goes on. I do wish Pixel took on the same size at an iPhone, but on the flip side you can run split screen apps whereas that may be too small on an iPhone. Overall I'm quite pleased with the change up from Pixel 1 or iPhone 7.

Yup thats correct.

AnonD-710161

You don't get it, I don't care if it is the newest, actually I care if it is old so I know it works. A second generation of a model is ALWAYS more stable and durable. For me stable and durable wins over taking a chance on something that may catch fire (ie S7)

Ad773

Yes, it's camera is the best in the high mid-range category, but it is only one of the best among newest flagship phones. For example comparing Px2 to a 6 months old gs8: f/1.8 vs f/1.7, sensor size 1/26 vs 1/2.5". For many of us camera is a secondary thing there are much important things such as lack of SD card, wireless charging, iris scanner, heart rate monitor, IP68, bigger batter, audio jack, and so on... During Nexus era Google offered "reasonable price for high specs" vs today "reasonable specs for high price"

Ad773

Exactly. Lately the only "innovation" is removing the audio jack without adding anything else.

AnonD-441601

There is a lot to be missing for its price. Google probbably dont know how to earn money. Its like a king and his counselors in middle age. And these counselors took money but create nothing. They only believe people are so naive that they would buy no matter what. Same politics like apple.

AnonD-441601

Samsung Sony and Apple veterans? Where? how? Motorola were first back in 1979 and from then all copying something that someone else made. Sony is expensive as google pixel and their devices also. Evena low model with low specs cost as medium to high end model. Samsung does phones thats true but Samsung does everythign else. From Shaver or Microwawe over to freezers TV, Hifi, Audio, Video, PC and everything else. They making really high quantity but really low quality. (I stands for a words that if company making just one type of product that this product is really high in quality because company focuses only here. Samsung does opposite). And Apple is special category they have everything ownand nothing trully own apart from IOS rest is a copy from other companies like Super Amoled Screens IP68, 4k recording etc. Also Apple dont do low or mid rangers. Maybe Apart from Iphone 5c which was medium model but for a high end price. But even a high end phone cost up to 600 for a china made phone. Apple which is also china made dont hesitate to ask 1300 for new iphone X plus 150 for wirreles charger which is not included in phone.

Ad773

Nothing wrong with IP67, but to be honest, for that price Google should do much better.

I was hoping that Pixel 2 could compete against galaxy s8. However, it looks that they compete only against galaxy A5.

I'm already satisfied with the first generation Pixel, but I already think of getting the Pixel 2. Android is superior to iOS.

Yonef

Of cource it is a whole package, BUT it needs to be on all three sides (design, hardware, software). Even if two of them are fine, and the other is bad, then the phone is bad. Let me make a point: "if you have a bucket with honey, and you put a teaspoon of faeces in it, would you eat the honey?" it is still 99.99% super pure honey! What I try to say here, it is not enough to have a good hardware and pure android to have a good phone if it looks like one pulled out of year 2012. You can buy few other phones with same or better hardware and software, PLUS cheaper (i.e. Galaxy S8, S8 plus, xiaomi Mi6, Essential, Mi MiX2) all of them are great looking! and they have same or better hardware, and most of them are cheaper!! Wafer thin is not a feature, it is stupid - who care if their phone is 7.9mm or 8.1mm, if they can add 0.2mm and much bigger battery - prefer that. So, why buy an UGLY phone for so much money, when you can buy the same hardware, but better looking one?! This I call FAIL! I can't beleive someone decided to release such a joke.

AppleLover404

Well Apple has its marketing schemes which promote their phones as "the best phone yet"...plus their history of phones are good with almost no fails...so we could call this a fail as it did happen, and based on the latest news of people who have actually tried the Iphone 8 and 8 Plus product have experienced battery issues, and software glitches...so we can accept that Apple is indeed in a big fix right now.

Vic4BBM

Do you buy gadget by only looks? A gadget is not just what it looks outside. It's a complete package of hardware and software well synced for an experience. In that case you should be using only premium phones which are wafer thin and almost bezeless and still have huge battery capacity. Even iPhone X, Essential and Mi Mix2 shall be ughly phones. Which are those wafer thin phones with huge batteries? Please share your knowledge so that even we learn something on how to judge a phone by external looks of it.

Samsung and Apple have offered eSIM enabled devices in the past. "Embedded SIM”. It’s a standardized SIM chip open to multiple mobile operators globally. Meaning, if you have an eSIM you don’t have to replace one SIM card with another when switching carrier. Since the eSIM can be programmed remotely, it allows you to choose another carrier by just messaging the old and new provider. The Pixel 2 has both eSIM and Nano SIM Card slot.

brother you love the software experience. But I am telling you put same software in a more practical device and see the magic. They lost it completely. They had all the ingredients to make the best and still they are not doing so well. Just have a look at the design of moto x 2nd gen which was also made under google. A bigger screen in smaller size. Amoled display which saved battery like anything. 2300 mah battery would last almost a day. And was one of the fastest android devices even though it was not having the best processor. Front facing speakers, ring flash which looked good around the camera and most advanced voice commands which worked like breeze. Wont you like it if your phone is constantly listening to your voice without losing any battery while the mic receiver is on all the time. It was hell of a phone. I dont know what all the professionals are thinking.?

It isn't all about design you gotta look at all other stuff It surely outperforms all other smartphone either it be the camera software and reliability.I simply love it except for it could put in a 3.5mm headphone jack in it.

AnonD-705603

the design is worse than $100 xiaomi phone

Sachi

Smartphone trend started by apple : Ur phone is a Internet device + Music Player + Phone. Later Nokia added camera to the equation. Then Apple removed the Music aspect from Smartphone by removing 3.5mm headphone Jack. Reasons: 1. Camera aspect of smartphone is more emphasized in social media (instagram, twitter, facebook ...) 2. Buy our Ipods. HTC followed it and Google followed it too... They are fooling us with these quality terms. These ratings can be easily beaten by a $250 Sony Digicam(slimmest one's are produced by Sony). Since music player aspect is removed from smartphone, we have to buy dedicated music players. Might as well we buy Digicams and used our laptops and buy a Nokia 3310. Then these assholes will learn their lessons. 3yrs security and support !!! We are already getting 10 yrs support from Windows 10. Digicams doesn't need security and updates, as well as Music Player and Nokia basic phone. Well anyways Nokia basic phones has audio jacks. Let's boycott this all in one smartphones and teach them a lesson.

Google first ruined motorola by selling it to lenovo, now it is ruining itself by permanent collaboration with HTC. If anyone has used moto x will understand completely what it was and how it all ended. Even if today someone checks on youtube, most famous of reviewers had moto x as their personal device for a time longer than usual. That phone is one of the most practical phones to use even today when it has no updates. If it was hyped properly it would have become biggest success for google and motorola both. But, i believe its all about satisfaction of those white collared people who sit in top management and think they know better. Jim Wicks, (designer of moto razr v3i) had something in mind when he suggested moto x. People are hardly aware what that phone was like. But if i tell properly it easily puts most of the phones to shame even after 4 years of its launch. Being a product designer myself i can clearly tell where they lost it while they could have conquered the world with that design and proper strategy.

Obviously Google should start thinking seriously about their phone's design Especially when they're selling high end ones. Nowadays smartphone is more image device rather than just an all-in-one phone-mini-computer. And yes, Galaxy S8 is a great example. Currently it is the best phone I've ever hold in my hands. It looks fantastic, feels expensive and runs fast. Definitely worth money spent on it. Not sure that I will say the same about Pixel 2. And this is not good.

DenisXD

My Sony Xperia Z5 is 146mm and it has a 5,2 screen. This pixel 2 is 145,7mm (which is 146, a hair difference) and it's 5 inches. So yeah, obviously Google wants people to go for the xl. Maybe that's the reason it has such an ugly design.

Seriously are Google having a laugh with this one, Galaxy S8 is a much better phone at a cheaper asking price, No dual camera, Wireless charging, Still 1080p, Bezels are huge, design Look's stupid. By the Look's of thing's there's nothing Google can do for HTC by signing that contract.

Hm, once again nice design is not the feature of this phone. But I can live with it (I wish it would similar to S8 look). I'm more concerned about hardware reliability and assembly quality. First Pixel has suffered with childish, not forgivable for highly priced phone issues like GPS and microphone / speakers failure. Also I had an opportunity to completely disassemble the first Pixel and wasn't impressed at all. It doesn't look like US$800 phone inside. Hope this time it will be better.

Honestly, small bezels are overrated. I'll take stereo speakers with a thicker bezel than a bezeless device with a bottom firing speaker. I still like the design of the phone. A phone doesn't need small bezels to be a marvel. We're finding out too small of a bezel on laptop messes with function and palm rejection. So yeah, I'm good with bezels.

first of all, dont go for HTC when designing a phone. HTC design is focusing on on how get larger bezels in a phone which you certainly dont want. second, no headphone jack is a big no no. dont be d**k like apple plz. third, I do have to say good job on front facing speaker, nicely done! and finally, why only 2700mAh? is putting more battery into a phone gonna be the end of the world?

Worse screen to body ration than the Pixel? How? HTC seem to be stuck in 2012 where if they want to add something below the screen they need to add room because of the large display connector. It's like the galaxy s3 vs s4, Samsung fixed it in 2013. Speaking of, the latter had the same sized display in a body almost 10mm shorter, and with a similar sized (removable!) battery 4 years ago!

Even Sony phones have less bezel size.

ultimate meme phone? back look like those shitty nokia lumia/ iphone 5c and and front bezels are like iphone which are the ugliest bezels. And speakers look like those motorola moto phones

AnonD-459231

ugly... no headphone jack... no sd card... google!!! realy???!!!

AnonD-599417

Wow... people just complaining about bezels :D I think it's a great phone! :)

AnonD-705502

Front facing speakers are awesome. Wish this size had an edge to edge display, though.

I like the Pixel 2 quite a bit, it's far less boring that the original Pixel and a better phone overall... But I still think it's beaten by the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S8, LG V30... Nice try though..

What about the HeadPhones??

Beautiful bezels.

ugly ... ugly look

disappointing looks ugly

AnonD-539337

Ugliest phones ever build by someone.

Force Majeure

Big, ugly phone with small non-removable battery, I'd rather buy a 5" Xiaomi for $120 and install Custom ROM from XDA.

Yonef

Looks like a cheap chineese phone from 2012. And you ask 700 Euro. I don't think it is going to happen

AnonD-472515

And Google don't have advance SoC like Apple

AnonD-617820

about 700 euros for a bang average phone

Sachi

Google u r not Apple. U r losing out few advantages you have like Headphone Jack , expandable storage etc... Apple has ipods to sale... so it can neglect audio quality. Apple has to be ip67 and a big taptic engine to support it's home button, which it has to make virtual because of again IP67... Why did u drop 3.5mm jack ? Eve if u support ip67, ur cousin brother Sammy is giving audio Jack. So ? We are charged 700$ n HTC made ur pixel and headphone audio quality sucked... why ? If we have to pay 700$ and get less features then we will buy Apple...

While other manufacturers advertise screen to body ratio, in 2017 Google is advertising bezel to body ratio.

Mas Sakti

If all of those specs described are the final specs, then it only has slightly bump at CPU and internal storage from previous Pixel. No other enhancement and improvement for camera terms, display, and all the rest specs. 1 year research from many genius people can only bring this to the market?

Google and his pixels R blind Apple's followers! 700 euro and no headphone jack no SD card slot To Google! Why I should buy your pixels!? With this situation iPhone 8/8+/X is not good choice to pixels!? In my opinion: yes it was too

Kobresia

700€ for this phone? Can not belive. Nobody w

HitX

Can safely say it's the ugliest phone of 2017

AnonD-623081

Pixel 2 ise ugly as hell.. too bad.. i hoped for a new NORMAL SIZE phone for myself.. with a good camera.. lets hope for the best.. but i think i will be dissapointed..

Benny

What is the point of Google pixel 2 its absolutely the same

AnonD-696124

it's already confirmed the pixel won't come with a headphone jack and a single camera setup. Let's see if the camera lives up to its expectations like the previous pixel. I'm not dissing the pixel, it's the continuation of the nexus line. And i always loved the NExus line. I just find the pixel to be an expensive piece of hardware like apple just because Google garantuees continuous updates for 2 years and security updates for 3 years.

John

I'll wait for tomorrow's announcement, but if it is what we are seeing here, i won't be buying anything from google.

AnonD-441601

Phone specs are not bad but design needs to get improved. Ugly phone.

Macbeth

You thought the HTC One M9 was bad? Well, you haven't seen the HTC One A9. Double the price of the OnePlus X and worse than the OnePlus X.

MAF

Hey easy don't be so quick to judge I bet it gonna blow you guys up I know it apple already sh***ed their pants with their iPhone X since the money matters not to me I was considering X as my next handset but that was a clear message we don't value our customers only profit matters to us so now I am considering getting a pixel 2 I only hope it'll have a 3.5 port as far as I know there is no advantage to USB C or Lightening but I might have to carry around my dedicated music player

AnonD-705033

HTC is manufacturing the smaller model and LG is making the bigger one.

JohnnyWTF

Is HTC making the Pixel 2? If so, I won't buy it. HTC One M9 is a POS. Currently looking at ASUS.

AnonD-644820

hope for the best

AnonD-696124

Thought the pixel launched already... wait, no redesign? Still that boring look with that fragil glass in the back. No Qi charge, no headphone jack. I bet it will get the IP54 certificate, not even IP68... No OIS, still the same 5 inch display. Guess the battery will get a 30mah bumb to at least total of 2800mah. The only thing this phone is good at is with updates, everything else just fails. Too expensive with too few features The oneplus 5 is a much better bargain

Hanky

This is just a rumor dude, the official specs aren't published yet.

No earpiece jack, no storage SD = No go! Junk

Why wouldn't they have had the impetus to drastically change their ways?

of course :D

Hahn.J

No sd card slot, premium pricing for a sub-par hardware phone...google is smoking the wrong stick. i rather get the note 8 or s8 plus...at least these phones don't make me pay over and over again for things i already owned. google need to get it clear, give the consumer what they want!!! if people want to be fleeced, they go buy an iphone. if google wants their phone to compete, LISTEN!! android users are not idiots who go buy iphones, they buy android coz they can do whatever the hell they want with their phones.

its a rubbish phone

Cheap... 850$

Bezel is outdated. Agree. Maybe they just need to trim it down a little. No need to go 'Mi Mix' style all of a sudden. Just do it like G6 style is good enough. Emphasize more on software. Need to improve pixel launcher to be more simple. Direct rival of iphone.

Andrei

It would be so bad if this phone ends up with normal bezels like the first Google Pixel. The bezel-less design like in the Iphone 8 looks soo-soo good. It would be a shame if this one didn't have something similar.

AnonD-80334

What has gone wrong with google? screw up after screw up... gone are the golden days of nexus 4 and 5. Flagship at midrange. They improved camera over last 2 iterations of google phones but then shot the price up by twice. Barring camera there wasn't much premium about last year's phone, now they have decided to remove 3.5mm jack?? seriously? what's the motive? i bet pixel 2 isn't going to be any slimmer than iphone 7 which wasn't slimmer than iphone 6 which had a 3.5mm jack and yet the slimmest iphone till date(6.9 mm vs 7.1mm for 6s and 7). The corporate greed for sale of additional adapters and wireless headsets wins over consumer needs.

It has android Oreo

If LG makes it then it might be cheaper

No 3.5mm jack, huge bezels... hhhmmm no thanks, obviously google leadership as tone deaf to their customers as they are to their employees!

Ashish rs

Will it have biscuit?

The Hyd

It most likely pack android 8.1, google always introduces a new version of android with its phones, and has them run it for the first time. We've seen it on the nexus devices and last year with the pixels. Android 8 is already out there and will be released officially way before the pixels launch

Trump Fan 1980

I want to know if the regular Pixel 2 will have hi res audio. FYI: new rumors suggest at least one the new models will have a Snapdragon 836 chipset.

AnonD-685352

Band 71?

Trump fan 1980

I totally agree with there my friend. By the way... you come across as a respectful, calm person for the record. :-) .

TechLover1

Hopefully it will include a microSD slot this time.

Mike Jones

The pixel 2 xl will have qhd

Trump fan 1980

I'd rather it be qhd.

Trump fan 1980

It's interesting that you say that you hope that the phone is 5 inches, because I literally was just about to say the same thing. Seems like these days people are into to 4.7 inch or sub 5 inch displays, or 5.3 - 6.3 inch models. I've owned several 5 inch handsets, and think that 5 inches is dead on.

Anonymous

I hope this is 5 inches, full frontal screen without borders or very small ones. The size of the old Sony's Z Compact line but nearly all screen.

Trump fan 1980

You made me laugh, and as I've said before, I like laughing.

AnonD-680930

There is no way that it's a 1080P Screen!!!!

Jake

I don't think the picture of the phone is the one that is coming.

AnonD-200528

I hope LG won't make that same stupid rear design of metal & glass for the larger Pixel phone. This design switched me off together with the gigantic bezels of the current Pixel XL!

Pooja J

5.0" and NO headphone jack ? lolol i better get S8+

Romie Lee

that bezels are so horrible that I'm almost about to scared on it. lol

hope to see innovation, not like basic specification upgrade like OnePlus 5.

I hope this one has a reasonable price :)

Oreo is a brand not a dessert :p

And what's the point of being a 5.0 when it's the size of 5.5?

AnonD-617820

Love if it was 5 inch, just getting boring with 5.5 inch phones released nowadays, hope they put decent battery capacity. Also, Oatmeal-Cookie Android sounds weird lol why not Oreo

Geez this com sect

guys thats the rumored spec and look not the final version, geeez!

AnonD-575767

The renders of this phone by uSwitch and Benjamin Geskin look awesome. Finally got rid of those bezels!

Same ram (slow), same bezels (ugly). It's as if Google wants this phone to fail. Too bad that the phone with the best software in the world is also nothing special... Almost positively problematic from the get go

Anonymous

WOW, on-screen buttons to waste space and yet HUGE bezels which could easily be smaller with physical buttons. I'd take it ...If they paid me to. Wait...i'm not sure i would even if they did.

Gpran

This thing needs reduced bezels more than anything else

AnonD-653070

no change in camera. it's should be changed. they can progress the camera in megapixel,aperture, image stability ois.
