Google Pixel 2 XL Review!

After using Google's latest flagship for a good amount of time, here is my full review of the Google Pixel 2 XL! This includes a review of the recent screen update that helped make colors better.
Thanks to Verizon for sending the review unit!

I switched to the pixel 2 XL from the iPhone 6s on black friday weekend. I got it half off of price, and I love it so much. Won't be disappointed.

Only if the price was a bit cheaper. Awesome software but the screen interaction is just as important for the price point

This phone is really dope.... Camera is just like wow 😍

Mine is shipping as this video plays. No phone is perfect in every way, but this phone fits my needs far more than any other phone. First in line for updates, front facing speakers, great camera, and an amazing battery. All I ask for. I can deal with no wireless charging and no headphone jack.

This phone is growing on me the more positive reviews I hear. Thanks, Tim!

Watched on my Pixel 2 XL. Great review. I think the lack of a headphone jack is more than offset by the dual stereo front-facing speakers. The perfect step up from my Nexus 6.

The blue tint shift doesn't really bother me. What does is how the display sucks in direct sunlight. My Note 8 is great outdoors but my Pixel 2XL not so much.

Tim welcome back hope all is good. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more about updates.Thanks so much for sharing Deb ✌️👍

"Portrait mode doesn't work as well as others with 2 camera's" LOL He's joking, right?

Love the review, very natural presentation, packed with tons of information .

[higherthangods]

Which one do you like more : Oneplus 5t or Pixel 2 XL....I am confused between these two I mean really confused!!! Please guide me! I plan to use the phone for long term like 3-4 years maybe! what's the best...I don't really care about the camera I want great performance, NO LAG!, fluidity and no slowdowns for 3-4 years....

[dravidsajin]

Which one is best ???

One plus 6T or pixel 2 XL

[Lestwo]

should I buy the pixel 2 XL or HTC U11+?

[TechSprinkle]

Keep the HDR+ option on. Select it and use HDR+ Enhanced for better low light images.

[awesoooooooooome]

Still better than







iPhone X

Being a heavy user, I don't understand how is 5 hours of screen on time excellent?
Like I'm not exaggerating but my mate 9 is actually 8+ hours of SOT every time o_O

[jinseng]

I don't really understand why the comments only ever mention 'better than iPhone X'. I think that comment is fair, but why aren't there also comparisons between Pixel XL 2 and Galaxy Note 8 or LG V30? Is there some sort of weird camaraderie between Android phones?

[danimoosakhan]

What kind of fast charging technology does it use?

[Londonbridge]

I’m disappointed in the google pixel 2 xl. For $850 flagship device I expected more. It’s missing a lot of features and has screen issues. It may not be a big deal but for $850, really google? The camera and speakers are great and the battery life is decent but I don’t think it’s worth the price tag. Should worth around $650 IMHO.

Great Review, Many Thanks Tim.
Peace from London. 👍👍
