This review is incredible. Not only the information included but the direction and the flow of the video

[KnightMD]

When you said "Ok Google" at 9:40, my Note 8 fired up Google Assistant :D

verge’s production quality is phenomenal

People hate on bezels, but I really don't mind them.

I don't understand the assumption on what people consider would premium materials. A premium build should encompass more than just being composed of glass or metal. the overall fit, finish, and ergonomics of a device should factor heavier into a labeling a device premium than simply what materials it is made out of.

Simply leave the dongle on your headphone.

You people need to stop being mystified at tech channels for uploading reviews at the same time. Companies set review embargos, and when the embargo is over, everyone can upload their videos.

9:36
"Oh you know how the Pixel is also always listening for you to say 'Ok Google'?"
*Activates the Google Assistant on my phone.*

isn't it funny that we dont even talk about quality of the actual phone calls etc. and its still called a smartphone. Cant wait to get my hands on the Pixel 2 XL :)

Great review! Can't wait for my Panda edition to ship in November! 😎

[AnandRao]

This guy is honestly best from the verge team on reviewing tech products. Excellent video btw!

[Dennluko]

I REALLY don't get why people are making such a big deal about Wireless charging. The technology came out way to soon! It seems like people will prefer a cool little feature instead of efficiency. Really slow charging, not fully wireless(Still have to plug the charger and lay the phone on the plate) I don't even see you holding/using the phone while it's charging since it need to be on the platform. Also makes the phone easier to crack/break since you need to add glass to the back to even use it! Surprised on how people think nowadays with NO common sense!

Remember those halcyon days a few years ago when NO ONE had any issues with bezels?

[ChristianHernandez]

Damn... everyone cares WAY too much about bezels.

[TeamAPS]

Thumbs Up if you agree Dieter Bohn does the best reviews on The Verge! He's a fantastic presenter.

Those bezels are a fair trade off for front stereo speakers, but the lack of a 3.5mm port sure ruins the audio experience. Bluetooth is convenient, but it's just not as good.

[arthurfla]

The Verge is the gold standard to high quality videos. Awesome job. I just wish I could buy this phone in my country.

[JoshDavid]

Im so happy I preordered one of these - I'll be doing a Pixel 2 XL camera review for anyone interested! 👊

Bezels are great you can grab the edge without touching the screen
