Had this for a year, moved from a Sony Xperia to Google Pixel. Originally wanted the small one but it was sold out. Turned out the XL with its larger screen was better for working, games, watching videos and just about everything else. Every about the phone was perfect for me, I mostly use my phone for work but does spent a lot of time playing games and watching videos. The battery works great still after 1 year. Very durable and I only had a screen protector, dropped it a few times while walking but nothing except minor scratches. It doesn't come with headphone jacks but the USB converter/adapter works just fine.

I leased my google pixel 2XL with telstra in 2018.It has been a good phone and preformed ok,but the messaging function is just ridiculous.Trying to send a photo with a message to anyone that doesn't have a Google pixel phone is almost impossible for the receiving party.You have to download a Google app to receive photos and messages! I have installed a messenger app off playstore so I can send my mum photos of her grandchildren,and she can receive them without her having to download the Google pixel app.I will be going back to a Samsung mobile phone when my lease expires.Would not recommend a pixel phone ever.

Got this pixel last year when there is promotion at JB Hifi for $1100 and get google home mini....
This is my 1st time with google phone....previously using iPhone & Samsung...
After using it till now this is my phone, will continue to pixel 5 next ...my kid already have an eye for my phone ... so far there is no negative from my side....

The Google Pixel 2 camera is fantastic and true to its statement that it is by far the best on the market in phone cameras. I love the finger print security and the automated updates that ensure I have the most recent additions/changes. The Google phone is just so smart and easy to use. Super battery life. By far the best phone I have ever owned (and I've been using a mobile for 20+ years). Durable, bright and easy to read Would only buy Google again now.

I bought this phone second hand on eBay. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the fingerprint reader that makes it a little unreliable but considering I saved money by buying second hand I don't think it is too big an issue. This phone overall has been very good. I love how I get security updates as soon as Google releases them. It is fast and reliable and the screen is bright enough to see in the sun unlike my previous Google Nexus 6p. I am able to easily screen record what's happening on my phone so I can easily report bugs to app developers. There is also a small problem with the speakers buzzing but this isn't hard to fix. Overall the speed and capabilities of this phone are great.

Camera quality is the best that I have ever on a smartphone. It can takes photo just point and shoot in any conditions because the software that Google developed is really that good.

Durability is perfect since it only has small part of glass on the back. However, screen brightness is not the strong area of this phone but it is usable in direct sunlight.

I uses this phone for mostly listening to music, browsing webs and streaming videos. Ultimately, the phone runs extremely smooth no lag at all.

The camera quality is crazy good and video. After having so many phones freeze on me in the past I'm happy to finally have a phone that matches my speed in typing and interacting with the phone. It backs up everything to Google Drive. No more memory cards and you can look back on all the photos with a search bar. It works like a mini computer.

I bought this phone for my daughters birthday and it is excellent. The photos are second to none and you can adjust them post shot with outstanding results. My daughter used the translator on her European holiday and it never skipped a beat in Greece, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. It works seamlessly with Google Home and the only reason it did not get 5 stars is because I feel its a tad expensive (but Apple have made it appear cheap recently). I would actually rate it a 4 and a half stars.

I have always had iPhones since my Nokia brick died in about 2010. Since then iPhones have always been user friendly with a good camera. Well this year on my third iPhone upgrade I decided to be adventures and try something new. I bought the Google Pixel 2 XL. I love a good camera with my phone and this one has a great camera. The interface is pretty user friendly, even after being with apple so long, and I just enjoy the little things like how intuitive the calendar. It's been about a month and I'm still getting use to it but I'm very happy with my purchase.

I recently moved from my iphone comfort zone to this android master piece and so far it hasn't disappointed. I picked one up on contract with Telstra and I am really impressed with amount of flexibility you get with Android. Security patches are quick to arrive and with various apps, its quite easy to customize look of this device. Photos are amazing and I love the fact that all photographs can be stored on cloud for ever for free. I will highly recommend this phone.

The phone is quite complicated, I don't know how to check my healthy app properly, it look that it has lots of functions which is not useful and the screen is very poor I used avscreen protection the phone fell down from one meter and nothing left from the screen.... very sad about it... and the change is very expensive half price of phone!!!

I have been using this for a month and I really enjoy using it! It has everything I need. since I love organising my life and files. I enjoy the selfie portrait effect and a unlimited photo storage. SO I don't have to worry about deleting photos and videos when needed. Google assistant is the best!! Just say 'Good night' and it'll set everything you need for the night.

While many people have dismissed the display, I find the 'natural/accurate' colours feel really good. It might take a few weeks getting used to, but once you do, saturated displays do not look good at all.
Buttery smooth experience and quick updates of the Android OS is great and definitely a huge plus.
The unlimited high resolution storage for photos means you never have to worry about running out of space.
I do however, wish it had a headphone jack. The adapter isn't always 100% reliable I have found.
Overall, probably one of my favourite phones I've owned, if not, my favourite.

The Pixel xl 2 is easily the best phone I have ever owned coming from using sony, samsung and even iphone. THe lightning fast response time of the UI is amazingly refreshing and the integration with all google products makes most daily routines easier to manage. the camera is the best part of the phone too! amazing from top to bottom

I buy it because I admire Google Company so much.The camera is great,and i'm satisfied with the photo.It is better than the photo taken by iphone 8 plus.However,phone's screen isn't good which makes me feel disappointed.More worse,this morning,the clock didn't ring which made me late for work.I need set another alarm with other mobile phone.

Needed a new 0hone after dropping my Samsung. Love to take instagram photos and what better phone than the pixel 2. The camera is amazing esp with the portrait effect of blurring out the background. Phone is super easy to use as well and does well. The charge is amazing and despite me using the phone all day at work, it lasts 2 days!!!!
