Google announced the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL along with a lot of new smart devices at a press conference yesterday in San Francisco. The company will be launching the new Pixel phones in Australia, Canada, Germany, India, UK and US initially, and will start shipping the device as soon as October 17 in some regions.

The Google Pixel 2 is the highest rated smartphone camera currently available on the market. This is not just because of great camera hardware on the device, but also because Google has put tremendous effort in improving the camera quality on Pixel with the use of AI. Yes, the Pixel phones use Google’s proprietary algorithms to improve the quality of images you take using the device’s camera.

Despite the fact that Pixel 2 is manufactured by HTC and Pixel 2 XL by LG, you still get the same performance and hardware on both the devices, except for the display. The Pixel 2 features a 5.0-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, while the Pixel 2 XL uses Fullscreen 6.0-inch pOLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1440. On the performance side of things, both Pixel phones feature Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB RAM.
