Google has finally announced Pixel 2 at a special event organized by the company in San Francisco, its first high-end smartphone in 2017 and the succesor of Pixel that was launched around this time last year. It features a 5-inch AMOLED display that touts a pixel resolution of 1920×1080, while it is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipset, Qualcomm’s most powerful processor.
The Pixel 2 body is made of metal (aluminium to be precise). It runs Android 8.0 Oreo OS out-of-the-box and is water and dust resistance certified with IP67 rating. Located at the front and clearly visible on the top and bottom bezel of the display are two stereo speakers for immersive audio. Built-in Google Assistant feature can be activate by squeezing the edge of the device.
