Google introduced the Pixel variant device last year. While the Pixel did not perform as it was supposed to, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL devices launched this year grabbed everyone’s attention. The Pixel not only
sports the latest hardware but also has the latest software that was crafted specially from Google. Let us look at the specifications and performance of the device.
The Google Pixel has a 6 inch 1440*2880 pixels display with a 538 pixels per inch (PPI). It comes in two variants – one with 64 GB storage and another with 128 GB storage. Both these variants has 4 GB ROM. The processor used in the device is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 which is used only in flagship devices. Google doesn’t believe in the dual camera setup. The pixel 2 XL can produce excellent photography with just the primary rear camera. It packs a 12.2 MP primary camera on the back and 8 MP front camera for selfies. Pixel 2 XL is clearly one of the best devices right now in terms of camera. It comes in two color tones – Just Black, Black & White. The Pixel 2 XL has Android 8.0.0 out of the box and you don’t have to worry about the updates as Pixel is one of the devices that receive updates regularly. The device is powered by a 3520mAh battery which is non-removable. The Pixel 2 XL has only a single Nano-SIM slot.
Price:
The Pixel 2 XL is priced at $849 for the 64 GB variant and $949 for the 128 GB variant.
Pros:
• Device with the best software in the market
• Stunning camera

Conclusion:
There is not much of a difference between the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL except the display size. So it is completely a choice of display size which is the deciding factor. It is a clever choice to buy the Pixel variants as it has the best software experience and a promise of timely software updates, so if you buy it you won’t regret your decision.
