Google Pixel Xl 2 Buy

Both phones have a 12.2 megapixel rear camera capable of recording 4K video at 30 FPS, 1080p video at 120 FPS, and 720p video at 240 FPS. The camera also contains phase-detection autofocus, laser autofocus, and HDR+ processing. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL also include the Pixel Visual Core (PVC) image processor for faster and lower power image processing, though it was not enabled until Android 8.1 was released in January 2018.[9][10] The PVC was custom design by Google's consumer hardware team with collaboration from Intel.[11] The Pixels do not have support for 4K video at 60 FPS, as the processor is not powerful enough.[12][13] The Pixel 2 includes optical image stabilization which the Pixel lacked. Google uses Fused Video Stabilization which reduces issues with camera shake, motion blur, rolling shutter distortion, and focus breathing as found in other image stabilization methods.[14]

The Pixel 2 XL has a 6-inch, 2,880-by-1,440 OLED display, for 536 pixels per inch (ppi). It's the same resolution and pixel density as the V30, though not quite as pixel dense as the slightly smaller S8 (570ppi). According to our own tests and experts we've consulted, the screen isn't the finest on the market, but it's fine. It's not nearly as bright as the screen on the Galaxy Note 8 or Galaxy S8, and its colors tend to be a bit cool and bluish. But performance is entirely within the acceptable range.

Google also manages to do bokeh Portrait mode with the single camera sensor through software. We took a photo of a heavily bearded GSMArena editor, and it worked pretty well, but stray hairs behind other hairs tended to be blurred out as part of the background. It's not perfect, but it's also not worse than on dual-camera phones. Bokeh works with the 8-megapixel front camera, too.

This is one area where the bigger Pixel leaps ahead of the smaller one, though. It's hard to tell the difference between a 440ppi screen and a 536ppi panel with the naked eye, but it gets much easier when you're wearing a VR headset: Daydream on the smaller Pixel looks genuinely pixelated, to a distracting extent, while it's acceptably fine-grained on the Pixel 2 XL. You see the biggest difference in text. Words appear to shift and pulse distractingly on the smaller Pixel, making it a slightly unpleasant phone to use for VR.

Released a month after the regular-sized Pixel 2, the 2 XL is a 6in smartphone with a P-OLED screen and a 20-megapixel rear camera that, according to DxOMark, is unbeatable. The latest Snapdragon 835 processor runs the show, complete with 4GB of RAM and a choice of either 64GB or 128GB of non-expandable storage.

Google won't focus on megapixel for the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2, but instead, it will compensate with \"extra features\" according to 9to5Google. The handsets are also rumored to feature a 12.3 megapixel rear f/1.8 aperture cameras and a 7-8 megapixel front-facing camera.

The pressure on smartphone manufacturers must be intense. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); }); Every year they are tasked with upping the ante on last year's phone. Sometimes they radically change the design, like Apple did this year with the iPhone X, but other times the upgrade seems more incremental, meaning key features get an upgrade, but the overall look and feel are not entirely new.

The Pixel 2 XL's main camera has a 12.2-megapixel sensor with a wide-angle f/1.8 lens. The Pixel's camera is top-notch, although it doesn't have a dual-lens system like some other flagship phones. The camera does have optical image stabilization and a dual-LED flash. It can shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second and 720p video at 240 fps.

The Pixel 2 makes the best case ever that camera specs don't matter. This phone has relatively ho-hum sensors inside, 12.2 megapixels and f/1.8 aperture on the back and 8 and f/2.4 on the front. All that actually matters here is the software. The company trained an algorithm to recognize human heads, which lets the Pixel 2 do the same sort of soft-background portrait shots as the iPhone 8 Plus, only with one camera instead of two. You can even see it work, since the Pixel 2 saves both the as-shot photo and the processed one. It works on both cameras, too, and I'm way into my newly bokeh'd selfies. It doesn't quite as well as the iPhone's portraits, though: the Pixel tends to blur out the edges of my head, and didn't always recognize objects in frame as portrait-worthy. But you know what's cool That'll all get better. It's just software.

The 5.5-inch display in the Pixel XL uses an AMOLED panel from Samsung. At a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, the Pixel XL arrives at a pixel density of 534 ppi. In addition to the high pixel density, the AMOLED displays are characterized by outstanding black values, vibrant colors, and high contrast. Compared to the AMOLED displays in the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, the brightness of the Pixel XL is higher. This provides for better readability, especially when exposed to direct sunlight.

And what about the front camera for snapping selfies For selfie fans, the Pixel XL holds an 8-megapixel camera with an aperture of f/2.4. Here again, with relatively large pixels of 1.4 µm, Google is trying to capture more light than its competitors. The lens of the front camera is designed to be wide-angled, so that even large (group) selfies are possible.

Agree completely. This (Micro-SD capability) is a minor addition in terms of cost but a MAJOR advantage to one who plans to use his/her Smartphone for taking vacation pics. I just do NOT understand why Google persists in producing smartphones that do not have this feature. When Samsung tried to get cute and omit the SD card option from its 2015-2106 Galaxy 6 series, the entire series tanked. It just does not take much brainpower to figure out that a micro-SD slot is essential as sensor megapixels continue to increase and more and more people use phones as cameras.

I'm getting to this review late, but I have to say I'm very impressed. I prefer the Apple interface but if I were a Droid user this would be my choice hands down. Most impressive to me is the IQ at higher ISOs. On my 7 Plus when I force up the ISOs I get that mottled batik look when pixel peeping. That dynamic doesn't show at all on the Pixel, and the noise from the Pixel's high ISOs presents itself as a very pleasing super-fine grain. Apple tends to do what it wants without regards to the competition other than offering large screen Plus models, so I can't expect them to answer this with comparable improvements. But I hope they use this to spur at least some higher level of IQ for their future offerings.

its a continual shame that promising hardware developments r hampered by corporate policy by both google & apple, theres a rift developing in apples religious community & google coulda had a coup in reform policies by including whats denied to the apple faithful.namely removable SD. the desire to mold user behavior & push a cloud agenda is what links the 2 giants & poisons their productsits now 2016, 256gb micro sd cards are widely available, 200 gb , the sweet spot pricewise are inexpensive. apples&googles contention having a peak 256gb capacity. at eye watering msrp..without ability to remove physically a quarter terabyte is simply nonsense ,& a slap in the face of every user forced to offload data wirelessly or tethered, a chore sensible camera phone buyers should avoid like plague.the pixel uses a real camera sensor, a p&s type apple has yet to use , it it why this crippled phone leaps ahead in iq, sadly 3rd party apps are necessary for manual.thats google for ya. 59ce067264
