Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using the Google Pixel 2 XL every day for over two months. It is by far the best phone I have used. I will lay out the pros and cons in this review to help you make your decision on whether to purchase this phone. Pros Battery Life - Routinely lasts all day with over 50% remaining, which means that even if you forget to charge up overnight, it will last most of the next day with regular use. Speakers - The Pixel 2 XL features dual front-facing stereo speakers. They provide a fantastic experience while listening to music or watching videos. Camera - The Camera on this phone is one if its biggest selling points. The rear camera is a 12.2 MP sensor with dual LED flash and OIS (optical image stabilization). It is capable of video capture of 2160p at 30fps or 1080p at 120,60, or 30 fps. The front facing camera is an 8 MP sensor capable of 1080p video. The performance in any lighting condition is unmatched by any other flagship smartphone. UI - One of the biggest advantages to owning the Pixel 2 XL is a that it is a Google phone, so you get pure Android with updates as soon as they are published by Google. Cons Audio - The biggest issue with this phone is the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack. This means you will have to rely on the included USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. It is an inconvenience at times and does make it impossible to charge the phone and use wired headphones simultaneously. Screen - The Pixel 2 XL has a 6” P-OLED display at a resolution of 1440x2880 with a pixel density of 538 ppi (pixels per inch). Under most conditions the screen is fantastic, with settings to change the saturation to your liking. The issue is a noticeable blue-shift when viewed at extreme viewing angles that you are unlikely to encounter during regular use. Conclusion The Google Pixel 2 XL is a great phone with enough pros to outweigh the cons. I recommend this phone to anyone looking for an upgrade. Even iPhone users should consider the Pixel if they are interested in Android. While I can’t make any decisions for you, I hope this review helped make that decision easier.
