“Google Pixel 2” in the eyes of a TechAdict

First Look

Google’s Pixel 2 is the newest addition to the Android family from Google themselves. This phone comes with Android Oreo and will probably see the next version as well. The one thing we noticed we first picked up the phone is the large bezel. This gives it a look that is a little dated. The phone makes up for the dated look with great functionality and a new feature we like to call the squeeze. The squeeze is a new feature where you can bring up the Google assistant with a simple squeeze of the phone. Very modern and useful feature. The phone comes in 64GB and 128GB models and is available for all service providers in the unlocked version. To see about purchasing one for yourself check out our affiliate store here!

The Details

The Pixel 2 comes with Android Oreo, 4GB of RAM, 12MP rear camera, 8MP front-facing camera, 2700mA non-removable battery, fingerprint sensor, water resistance and more. The screen is 5″ and is gorilla glass 5. The one downside is the large bezel around the screen. This means that your precious screen space should have been larger but they more than make-up for it with a great OS and smooth functionality.

 

Conclusion

Overall the Google Pixel 2 is a great phone with a very reasonable price tag. It was only released in OCT of 2017 and the price tag is under $600 for both the 64GB and the 128GB models.
