what's going on everyone John render from TechnoBuffalo here and today we are taking a first look at the brand new just announced pixel 2 and the pixel 2 XL writer as you can see i am at the google event there you go mkbhd cameo right there so a lot to like about these phones let's start with the screens so the screen on the pixel XL 2 that I have right here stayed the same it's 5 inches but to the XL jumped from 5.5 to 6 inches the technology that changed both phones are now utilizing OLED panels the XL so as a full HD screen since 1920 by 1080 whereas the pixel XL 2 has jumped up to qHD powering this guy you've got a snapdragon 835 4 gigs ram available in 64 or 128 you notice on the bottom though there's something missing on these phones we are missing a headphone jack that is now gone the way of the dodo and the iPhone boy do have though is a aluminum unibody back sort of has a texture on it doesn't feel quite like aluminum but because the back is metal wireless charging is not going to be here the camera though is a giant deal the original pixel camera was awesome remembered had a DxO score of 89 at the time was the highest that had ever been given to a mobile phone they up to their game here this one got a DxO score of 98 which is pretty unprecedented it's a little bit better than 12 megapixels an 8 megapixels on the front without an F 1.8 aperture but there's a lot of of course when it comes to pixel phone's on a soft worked week so first very similar what we seen from HTC and of course since it pretty much is bought the engineers from HTC you can now squeeze the phones and things will happen you can launch the assistant in self which by giving it a squeeze and they claim that it'll work in a case and all some difference between accidental squeezes also you'll notice the UI here is different the dock is different the pixel launcher so you've got your dock right across the top and persistent google search and then you've got your navigation buttons down below I don't quite know how I feel about that as I sort of go through and scroll through screens but is what it is google search now lives at the bottom of course android 8.0 Oreo ice here as well also new we now have an always-on display and you'll see things all start to populate here like notifications and other things as the software gets more mature and if this was a bit of a quadrat miss fear if I was gonna play music the phone will automatically know what song was playing and show it down below and you could play a drinking game at the event here how many times Google said machine learning but that's what's sort of taking care of all the heavy lifting here with the phone it looks pretty nice and it feels pretty nice in the hand I know a lot of you guys are big into speakers we now have front-facing speakers on these phones on the top and bottom and spec wise the XL and the irregular pixel are almost identical say for the screen size and resolution and battery size here so the XL is gonna have a battery of about twenty seven sixty whereas the sorry the pixels got a battery of twenty seven sixty whereas the XL is about thirty five twenty are gonna be available October 19 for six forty nine or eight hundred and forty nine dollars the colors are white blue or blog I pretty much called it you'll see though they did do a turn of a pop of color on the side you can see right there on the XL you've got an orange home button I will say though the OLED technology on these screens look really nice and you can clearly see a difference here and I know that difference is gonna translate over to YouTube but I want you guys to get a real quick early look at these phones the big question here is what do you what do you think is it worth an upgrade is it something that you want to move from original pixel you're gonna switch from another Android device or move from an Apple phone I love to your thoughts on it this is a real quick first look at the brand new pixel XL - so then you guys also you think about these live videos we're doing from the events or to your thoughts on that until next time I'm John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo
