Introduction GOOGLE PIXEL2 Full Specifications: Google acquired the HTC team that built the new Pixel 2 – let’s see what the search giant bought for a billion dollars. Strangely enough, the smaller of the two devices hasn’t changed much, but the larger Pixel 2 XL is much more in step with modern flagships.
First things first, let’s check what’s new. Google upgraded to the flagship-standard Snapdragon 835 chipset, and the phones run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. The screens are AMOLEDs with pixel densities identical to their predecessors, but there are stereo speakers above and below now.
