About the Product
Discover a better way to capture, store, and see the world. Pixel 2 XL features a smart camera that takes beautiful photos in any light, a fast-charging battery and the Google Assistant built-in.
The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8+ begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It's the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it's easy to hold in one hand.
