The Pixel 2 XL is constructed of aluminum and features a 6-inch pOLED screen with 18:9 ratio and QHD resolution. For those who like to wear polarized glasses, the new Pixel features a circular polarization that makes it easy to see the content on the screen. In turn, the Pixel 2 will bring a 5-inch AMOLED screen with FullHD resolution and 100,000:1 contrast ratio. Regarding the remaining hardware, both models will be identical. The processing is delivered via the SoC of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 which is coupled with 4GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of internal storage, will have a rear fingerprint sensor and front Stereo speakers. In addition, they are equipped with Bluetooth 5.0, water resistance and USB Type-C connector. Unfortunately, the 3.5mm Jack is not present, forcing it to use an adapter that comes with the smartphones in the box. The operating system will be Android 8 Oreo. Both models also feature Active Edge, which behaves similarly to HTC’s Edge Sense and Always On technology. At Homescren there have also been slight changes, and there is now a zone to display the temperature and events on the calendar. In addition, it makes use of the always active microphone for the “Ok Google” personal assistant to recognize any song you are listening, even on the radio, and display its name and singer.
In photography both models also share the same hardware, having a 12 MP camera (with a single sensor), dual pixel phase detection, simultaneous optical and electronic stabilization and artificial intelligence optimization. Even with a single camera, both models bring portrait mode. As is customary, Google Photos storage for Pixel 2 will be unlimited.
