What we liked about Google Pixel 2 And Pixel 2 XL:
The highlight of the last year’s Google Pixel devices was the built in Google Assistant and this year Google took it a notch further with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. The Google Assistant can now be accessed by squeezing the side if the screen with your palm and can also help you find a song in the background right from the lock screen.
The camera brings a couple of smart features and we are glad that Google didn’t blindly add the extra rear camera. The single lens can add the motion blur that the dual camera phones claim by both the rear and front cameras.
What we didn’t like about the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL:
The most disliked part of the last year’s Pixel devices was the design and we can’t digest the fact that it remains the same with the new Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. The smaller Pixel gets an extremely large chin on the top and bottom according to 2017 standard. The larger Google Pixel 2 XL has fat bezels on the sides.
The Google Pixel 2 and the Google Pixel 2 XL also miss out on wireless charging.
