Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Google Pixel 2
The camera function of Google Pixel 2
The main camera of the Google Pixel 2 is 2 MP pixels, which is a very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your photos and videos, or rarely ever shoot or film with your smartphone, it should be no problem. But otherwise, you should choose a smartphone at least one tier higher.
The Google Pixel 2 comes with a 8 MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.
The battery performance of Google Pixel 2
The Google Pixel 2 has a relatively large battery with 2700 mAh. The Google Pixel 2 has a good battery life compared to other smartphones. You won't feel stressed even if you spend all day surfing the web or on Twitter and you can also watch videos or play games on the go without having to worry too much about the battery. If you watch videos or play games for too long, however, you might want to watch your battery a bit.
Google Pixel 2's size
The Google Pixel 2 is 2.7 inches (69.7 mm) wide, 5.7 inches (145.7 mm) tall, and 0.3 inches (7.8 mm) thick. At this size, a man with large hands would be able to operate it comfortably with one hand, but it may feel a bit large for a woman with small hands. In the case of the Google Pixel 2, it weighs about 143 oz (143 g). The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.
In giving an overall rating to the Google Pixel 2, while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.
Google Pixel 2's screen
The Google Pixel 2 has a 5 inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.
The screen of the Google Pixel 2 is extremely clear, and it's able to display everything from images to videos and even video game graphics in perfect clarity.
The CPU performance of Google Pixel 2
The Google Pixel 2 has an extremely high processing power of 2.35GHz+1.9GHz×8(OctaCore), so it can smoothly run any app out there with ease. Its performance ranks among the top-class of all smartphones released to date. It's well suited to running even the most demanding of 3D games with ease.
The Google Pixel 2 has 4GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.
The Google Pixel 2 has the overall operating speed of a high-end smartphone, so it will hardly ever cause you trouble. But you might need to be careful when using heavy apps like 3D games a lot.
Google Pixel 2's storage capacity
The Google Pixel 2 has 128GB of data storage, which is perfect for people who frequently take photos and videos. It is suited to taking both photos and videos, and is unlikely to feel inconvenient even with lots of apps or games installed.
The Google Pixel 2 is not compatible with SD cards, so make sure you check that there's enough storage for your needs.
Overall assessment of Google Pixel 2
The Google Pixel 2 is a high-performance smartphone. You're not likely to experience any inconvenience in general use.
