The Good Google's Pixel 2 has a superb camera with OIS and excellent low-light shooting. It's water-resistant and Google Lens calls up a trove of information to help you explore your surroundings.

With its Pixel 2, Google is playing catchup to Apple and Samsung. But it's still among the best smartphones you can buy.

The Pixel 2 XL perks up the already excellent Pixel 2 with more screen space. It has a fantastic camera, waterproofing and the Google Lens feature that helps you learn more about the world around you.

Same camera. Google didn't make two phones, it made one in two sizes. And two prices: $650 for the Pixel 2, $850 for the XL. The Pixel 2 is the iPhone of Android phones. And that's a compliment.
