Google Pixel 2 XL: What's New. The Google Pixel 2 XL does not come packaged in some overly simplistic box where you can hardly even tell what's inside. It comes in a box that we would describe as playful and cheerful.
There is some Google Pixel branding with a side and rear image of the device. The back is just solid blue with nothing but hashtag: #teampixel up top and Google down below. Inside the box we will find Pixel 2 XL sitting right on top and directly underneath we have female USB to male USBC adapter that will let you transfer your data over seamlessly from your older device.
Google Pixel 2 XL: What's New
We actually used the adapter to transfer our files from our iPhone 7 and it worked flawlessly.
There is USBC cable and USBC fast charging wall worked here as well and USBC 3.5mm headphonejack adapter because the Pixel 2 does no have headphone jack built in to the device. Google made a big deal about having a headphone jack with the original Pixel but it did not make the cut this year.
Design
There isa 'panda' color configuration that is selling like a hotcakes but we went with black model because it looks really clean we like the signature glass top portion of the device that kind of contrast.
The phone is composed of primarily aluminum and while it feels cool to the touch. You will notice a slight plastic texture to it. Google actually coated the aluminum with a soft touch coating.
There is also an IP67 water and dust resistant rating so you can submerge this phone n up to 30ft of water for up to 30 minutes.
Screen
Up front, we have 6 inch HD pOLED display with very thin bezels. It is similar to LG G6 but not quite as thin as S8 or Note 8. Still, it is much thinner that last year's Pixel XL with much more futuristic and in line with 2017 flagship smartphones.
The display is flanked by two front-facing stereo speakers that gets very loud and sound pretty darn sharp and detailed. Best of all the face directly towards your face.
Processor
The Pixel 2 XL is running Android Oreo. There is no bloatware or obtrusive skin. You will see the Google bar rest underneath your five main apps at the bottom and there is a new widget up top that displays the date and weather information. Furthermore, we have a new Live Wallpaper that looks incredible!
There is Snapdragon 835 Processor and 4GB of RAM under hood.
Performance
The animations and overall performance is really one of a kind. Everything works and the Google Apps seem to work.

The camera has gotten pretty big upgrade. 12MP sensor on the rear with f1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization.
The major difference between Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is the battery life. 2 XL features a larger 3520mAh that should help to last you a full day of usage with some power to spare.
Also, it offers you the Active Edge feature which lets you squeeze the phone to open up the Google Assistant and silence incoming calls.
