No headphone jack, after they made fun of Apple for it last Pixel
Gary Fung
@livejamie Now they make fun of no need for 2 lenses when they can do it all with just 1. DXO test images on Pixel 2's Portrait mode (they even copied Apple's naming lol) compared to iPhone 8+ just show what a hack their software portrait mode is compared to hardware based 3D depth mapping. Hacks show mistakes. I don't want photoshop fakerey in my photos that's hit and miss. Pixel 2 vs iPhone 8+

@livejamie @garyfung didn't think I'd say this, but that's a pretty huge difference!
Gary Fung
@livejamie @alirtariq I'm losing faith in DXO for any objectivity. They released their (bought) review just before Pixel 2's unveil just so Google can tout its score. Talk about independent journalism? Who does this: unveil new products, and tout a review that's out just before said unveil? And this shows how big a difference like this just get glossed over in DXO's review: https://www.dxomark.com/google-p...

@livejamie @garyfung her head is wider with iphone 8
Gary Fung
@livejamie @bluemonk482 No it's not. Even if it is, it's perspective difference and not the point.

iPhone 8 by Google
Hayden Evans
@rueter Well, it's actually by HTC (Pixel 2) and LG (Pixel 2 XL) but Google doesn't want you to know that.
Steven Rueter
@hayden_evans I stand corrected. iPhone 8 by Google but not by Google.
Hayden Evans
@rueter Maybe it's "iPhone 8 outsourced by Google"

@rueter @hayden_evans Google has acquired the HTC hardware team... so it actually is by Google now. 😉 https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/...

Plenty of phones to buy for this price

Pros:

Nope

Cons:

Cheap iPhone knock off. Copied after they mocked iPhone for not having headphone jack! And expensive too for the lack of features.

Well, this is really cool. I love how it does take advantage of recent phone industry trends and still manages to look unique.

@ftxrc Uniquely toyish.

RIP headphone jacks 😭

@valdecarpentrie So much for Google making fun of Apple's "courage" last year. Copycats.

"One simple plan. Pay $20 per month for unlimited talk and text, and $10 per GB of data — and you never pay for data you don’t use. Even when you travel abroad, you’ll still pay the same $10 per GB in over 135 countries." That's pretty sweet.

> "Even when you travel abroad, you’ll still pay the same $10 per GB" Shows how expensive this plan really is that they can simply cover the world-wide roaming costs from the same monthly payment. :D /european

@barnabybones that's quite expensive imho.

I. AM. IN. LOVE. The Black/White Pixel 2 XL will probably be my next phone. 😍
Daniel Grossberg
@kevinbryantlou ordered the all black version. Considered the b/w but I think any discoloration after use would drive me nuts.

@kevinbryantlou same here. i love the red power button.

bummer that only the XL has the smaller bezels. And no wireless charging in 2017 will be a fomo trigger every time I'm at a coffee shop/airport.
Hayden Evans
I wonder if Google will catch even a fraction of the flak that Apple did when they removed the headphone jack. Seems like a lot of people were eating some crow this morning with this announcement.
Igor Kuznetsov
Looks cheap. No offense.
