“While the Pixel 2 looks almost identical to its predecessor, the 2 XL has seen some substantial design changes: it’s jumping from a 5.5-inch display up to a 6-inch display. Both phones have a 12.2-megapixel rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization – an improvement over last year’s f/2.0 lens and electronic image stabilization.
