Google announced the new Pixel 2 phone

Google announced the new Pixel 2 XL phone on October 4 at the San Francisco event.

Pixel 2 XL has a 6-inch quadHD screen, 1440p sharp resolution, an 18: 9 aspect ratio that means the screen will be higher than regular phones. This is also the ratio on Galaxy S8 and LG G6.

Google calls this POLED screen, designed for vivid and contrasting images. The screen shows a wider range of colors, more colors, including polarized glasses for you to view the screen when wearing sunglasses.

Google also adds always-on functionality on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL so you can see notifications, time, and basic information without having to turn on your phone.

The headphone jack was dropped and replaced with the second speaker for 2-channel audio. Pixel and Pixel 2 XL also have a USB-C headset adapter if you want to use a wired headset.

The camera on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is also improved compared to the previous one, which is already one of the best cameras on mobile. 12 megapixel camera with OIS optical equalizer to reduce shake when shooting and HDR for images with better lighting.

Google added Portrait Mode to blur the background. Unlike other phones with similar features using 2 cameras, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL only need 1 camera. Portrait Mode for portraits can work well on the front camera. Pixel 2 cameras also use augmented reality, calibrated for AR.

PIxel 2 XL will include all black or black and white combination. The power button will be red and very beautiful.

As expected, you can use help with Google Assistant, which allows you to use Google Lens to collect information through your phone's camera. The new 'active edge' feature allows you to press the button on the side of the phone to open Google Assistant. We have seen this feature on HTC U11.
