How similar between HTC U11 and Pixel 2?

[cnotes2016]

I know the pixel 2 may be squeezable but what about audio quality etc? Anything else? Thanks.

the main difference is the software support.

So audio will be the same and may include same headphones? Any other differences? Thanks

- 5.5 " 16:9 display,compared to 5" or 6" for the Pixel / XL. Also LCD vs OLED (if VR matters)
- Nouget vs Oreo OS level
- Camera ..
- 3000Mah battery, compared to .. who knows with the new Pixels .. (3300 for XL?)
- Front vs rear FPS
- Micro SD slot in U11
- IP67 water resistance for U11 - hopefully the new Pixels have this too (I will be mad if not)

I would wait the 2 weeks until the Pixels are out for a full comparison ..

I wouldn't count on the audio being the same or even comparable. Google showed near zero interest in audio quality on the Pixels, and even the Nexus phones that came with front-facing speakers, like my beloved big ol' N6, were hardly an audiophile's delight. I'm expecting audio on the new Pixels to be just a couple of batsqueaks better than 'twas on the 2016 Pixels.

Jaws will drop around the world if the new Pixels are outfitted with an awesome DAC and Boomsound-quality speakers. And I will eat my beard.

We don't know all of the details. Though the 2 is made by HTC and the XL by LG they are not the same as HTC/LG comparable models.
