From AP: This is the Google Pixel 2 XL

Exclusive: This is the 2017 Google Pixel "XL," with low-bezel AMOLED display and squeezable frame

Long, flat screen, AMOLED, very familiar design language but different enough to feel in line with the S8 and G6 devices (and the new iPhone).

Aw no dual camera? I was hoping for more of the fun wide angle lenses .

Well, I still wish it wasn't gonna be 2:1, but I already resigned myself to that, so waddaya gon'do? I am still holding out hope for two front-facing speakers. As I recall, Google kept the bottom speaker of the 6P a mystery pretty much right up until the day of the reveal, so fingers frickin' crossed!

The big question now, though, is why's it squeezable if HTC's not making it?

Correct, we knew that already. I told you that like a month ago

Yeah I'm curious about that as well - I've heard exactly zero on that front and I'm not sure who AP's source is, but that's a very strange development.

But I can't trust you! .

That's true.

Alright, very happy with this design.

Glad they're going with the 18:9 screen with minimal bezels. I wasn't a fan of the dual glass/metal back and I'm still not sold on it, but it looks better here due to it being reduced in size. Interested to see how LG's AMOLED panels are as well. Samsung have come a long way in terms of ensuring no burn in, great brightness etc, so hope LG's screens are just as good.

Overall, it looks great. Can't wait for reveal/release.

Looks awesome but I agree. I really like the dual cameras on the LG G6.

Still have never owned a Nexus or Pixel device

Saw this earlier and it looks awesome!!! I still prefer the wider screen but I can be on board with this. I was going to jump ship to Samsung but so glad Google came through in the clutch. It may seem that I'll stick with them for the foreseeable future.

Yeah that's a big question out there!

I think it looks good Slimmed the front screen top and bottom bezels, make the glass panel at the back smaller and added a little PX-41 serum to the camera! look huge. Excited to see some camera samples. expecting great things.

 

[Scott Shrewsberry]

I'm diggin' it. I'll more than likely be pulling the trigger on this one.

 

[mookiekillsit]

Definitely wanted dual cameras on the back but oh well....... Probably will skip this one as a result to be honest. It's something I feel will become the norm after a while and honestly takes amazing pics as a result.

Looks like the screen is curved like the HTC U11 and not like the Galaxy S8. Looks great.

LG's AMOLED display is a big concern for me. I want burn-in resistance at least as good as Samsung's and I want a warmer display temperature.

Looks nice but I wish they'd do all metal or all glass on the back. Not a huge fan of the two materials on the back.

Question: I have a S8 and like the size and physical configuration. How will the new Pixel compare in size to the S8?

Between the S8 and S8+ for the XL.

So, larger than the S8 then. I am hoping to see a visual representation of the physical differences sometime soon. Thanks for responding.
