Whether it’s about a different manufacturer or Google’s own orientation, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have a noticeable difference in appearance. Pixel 2 hide the big forehead and chin under the cover of black panel. Compared to last year, Pixel 2 XL really enhance the surface, the 6-inch OLED full-screen design almost makes up for most of the user last year’s dissatisfaction.
