SO I do wish we had dual camera but only for Zoom

[Pixelfan56]

the one area we dont compete is when we have to zoom....i do wish we had a second zoom lens

Do we really need it though? . I never found the need to zoom. Rarely anyway.

Wide angle is probably the best thing about it.

Wide angle is probably the best thing about it.

One of the best things. For a device running the SD 821, it was just as smooth as the Pixel for me. Wireless charge was super convenient and the screen was superb.

Jumping to a P2, I downgraded in charging and camera options. However, the image quality is phenomenal compared to LGs very very good dual setup.

Best value for a flagship device in 2017.

Who knows what we'll see in the Pixel 3...

Google addressed pretty much everything that was considered a shortcoming from the original Pixels (not that there were many). I think it's a very safe bet that they will put a 'top' screen in the next generation (even though I have no issues with the current one) & a telephoto/zoom lens (since there's only so much you can do with software). If wireless charging actually starts to take off, now that Apple has invented it, that might also make its way.

yeah an actual zoom lens would have definitely made pixel 2 the best camera in the market for phones

It is the best camera. Has a DXOMark score of 98. iPhone X scored a 97.

Worth remembering that DXO scores are an overall. iPhone X actually scored higher than Pixel 2 on the overall photography segment but much lower on overall video, causing them to lose the overall total score.

Pixel 2
99 Photo
96 Video
98 Overall

iPhone X
101 Photo
89 Video
97 Overall

Even there, it is foolish to rely on someone else's opinions as to which you will enjoy most as you may weight the value of individual subcategories differently, or just prefer the way one documents life over the other even if the 'professionals' chart them differently. Kind of like how people tend to often prefer heavily oversaturated screens over ones bearing more realistic tone levels.

I just pop it in portrait mode and that seems to give it all the zoom I need. At great quality too.
