Google
Pixel 2 launch event saw the launch of the successors of last year's Google
smartphones. Both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL come with several upgrades over
their predecessors in order to take on the likes of Apple iPhone X and Samsung
Galaxy Note 8.
As for the features, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will offer major upgrades in the camera department, squeezable displays, and stronger software integration to deliver a more personalised experience to the user.
The
two smartphones aren't too different from each other, like the Google Pixel and
Google Pixel XL, with the display size and battery capacity being the biggest
differences. However, fans will miss out on the 3.5mm headphone jack, which has
given way to USB Type-C for both charging and music.

"We
are really proud of how the Pixel smartphones did last year," said Rick
Osterloh, Senior Vice President of Hardware at Google. But for this year,
Osterloh said, the company has imagined the hardware inside out, instead of
just packing in the most extreme modules.
Operating system
Aparna
Chennapragada from Google onstage demonstrated improvements to Lens, with all
the new features coming to the new smartphones first. You can now take picture
of posters and Google Lens will be able
to make sense of the useful things mentioned in there.
Display
You
will be able ask Lens follow-up questions, Chennapragada said. For instance, if
you take a pickier of a book, you can ask what the book is about. The company
says Google Lens offers an accurate rate of over 95 percent.
Cameras
A
lot is riding on these new smartphones. The Google Pixel 2, and the Google
Pixel 2 XL are supposed to be the best representation of what Android
smartphones should be like. For Google, which has been in the recent years
attempting to assume more control over devices, being able to sell enough of
them would be a priority as well.
Processors
According
to estimates, Google had sold about one million Pixel smartphones by May this
year, even when they were lauded with positive reviews by critics.
