Google Pixel 2 Summary

Released in October of 2017, the Google Pixel 2 is the follow-up flagship device of the Google Pixel. The specs reflect its humble beginnings, as it is light device, only weighing 143g. The light weight can be attributed to its size, having a small 5 inches screen. Despite its weight and size, the phone is built sturdy, having a glass front (Gorilla Glass 5) and aluminium back and frame. The phone is rated IP67 water and dust resistant. The Pixel 2 has a 5 inches AMOLED display that can output 1080 x 1920 (FHD) pixels on the screen.

The OS running on the device is Android 8, which can be upgraded to Android 11.

The phone offers two RAM and storage variants: 4GB, 64GB and 4GB, 128GB, respectively. Unfortunately, there is no micro SD card slot for storage expansion.

The main camera at the back sports only a single lens, a 12.2MP lens with laser, AF, OIS, and dual-pixel PDAF features. To complement the camera, the device comes with dual-LED flash and HDR capabilities. Videos from the main camera can be shot at 4K, 30fps, 1080p 30-120fps, and 720p, 240fps, all supported by gyro-EIS.
