Reviewed Device: Google Pixel 2 XL

Description
The Pixel 2 XL is thin and light. Its screen has rounded corners and has a large display with the right amount of bezels. I picked the Panda coloured one, with the orange accented wake button. It has a top section made of glass on the back, the rest is aluminum and plastic.

Things I like
Its camera is great and has a useful night mode. It usually has fast responsiveness, and it has a clean design.

Things I don't like
It can get sluggish sometimes. That’s pretty much my only gripe with it, surprisingly.

Overall Ratings:

Verdict
I probably wouldn’t recommend this phone now, as there are cheaper, newer options like the Pixel 3A, but I would definitely recommend the Pixel line overall.
