Google officially introduced the update of last year’s Pixel smartphones, which earned the reputation of one of the leading photo flags on the market. As it became known in advance, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will be produced by two third-party manufacturers – HTC and LG. This also affected the devices themselves: if the “small” Pixel 2 is made in the same format as its predecessor, the Pixel 2 XL offers a 6 “AMOLED screen 18: 9 with QHD + resolution. and the metal on the rear panel, as a result of which the fingerprint scanner is moved out of the glass insert (obviously so practical.) But the main feature of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is the camera.
The software is built on Android 8.0 Oreo with a branded anchor and a unique feature of automatic background music recognition with output to Always On Display (another feature on the background of last year’s models). Let’s highlight the absence of an audio jack 3.5 mm. Google Pixel 2 will be offered in three colors: black, white and blue. The price is from $ 649. Its analogue Pixel 2 XL goes on sale in black and black and white with a price tag of $ 849. Double the amount of built-in memory will cost for each of the models in an additional $ 100. The first deliveries of Pixel 2 will start on October 17, and Pixel 2 XL is expected to be on sale within 2-3 weeks.
