    The Pixel 2 XL is the sequel to the larger variant of Google's first Pixel smartphone in 2016. It's a refinement all around, with smaller bezels, dual front-facing speakers, larger battery, improved camera features, and of course, the latest version of the Android OS (8.0 Oreo). Although it takes small steps back in a couple regards - forgone headphone jack, mediocre screen quality, and a camera hump - it's still a worthy rival to the steep competition.
