Pixel 4 is out and I'm still watching a man review a pixel 2.
Muhammad Ahtisham Same!😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And now im considering buying it
Damnn poverty !
I'm thinking of buying it lol. It would still be an upgrade for me 🤣 plus it's not fucking huge. Btw kind of amazing that the phone is only 2 years old. Feels like it should be older lol.
Me too but let me break it down, I am not a tech person I just want my stuff to work and take good fotos, I can get a 2 where I am for 170 USD compared to the 4 at 700USD. I am going to get the 2 and enjoy myself with the other 530$
@@mohammadabed4041 It isn't about poverty it's common sense and keep oneself out of poverty. I am going to get it and I can afford a 4 but see no point.
Apple: we have two cameras so our pictures are the best
Huawei: we have three cameras so our pictures are the best
Google: hold my beer
LOL! Just look at the iPhone 9...I mean *cough cough...iPhone XR....*Cough

Google removing the Headphone jack is a Top 10 anime betrayal of 2017
DoubleAIV anime betrayal? How so? Get yourself wireless Sony headphones
iPhone 7 - No headphone Jack.
fandroids: LOLOL Fail!
Pixel 2 - No headphone Jack
fandroids: Who needs headphone jack you idiot?!
felix wcf Haters Are REAL
felix wcf Not true. Everyone's complaining about this, especially Android users.
felix wcf I thought it was a dumb move when apple did it...and I still think it is a dumb move now that google is doing it. lol
Having to have wireless headphones implies having to charge one more thing everyday, and also means that if your headphones run out of juice you are done...nothing you can do(which is annoying af). Is it really too much trouble to put a headphone jack in there?

MKBHD: "no wireless charging, that doesn't work through metal"
Pixel 5: *laughs in bathroom tile*
It doesn’t have metal behind the wireless charger
@@ILikeDogz well a better way of saying it is that there's a cutout of the aluminum frame where the wireless charger sits
You can also trigger a real assistant by squeezing their sides
Cool
😂😂😂
Colin Cranley true
Thanks for the tips . ᕙ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ
Still using this as a secondary device in 2021... just lost updates, so I'm considering Lineage, but it's incredible just how fast and capable this phone still is.
Havin screen problems ?
@@jatinveer5273 tiniest bit of burn in, otherwise still flawless
Not sure why I'm watching Google pixel 2xl reviews on my Google pixel 2xl lol
Z W I doing the same, lol!
Same lmao
Same
You want reassure yourself you made the right choice
Many people do that...
That moment you see a notification for a 17 minutes video from MKBHD, you just gotta walk out of your deferential equation class and watch it. Nothing was making sense in there anyway.
bruh...lmbo
Lmao walk out that shit, if UA-cam was a thing back in college, I would fucking walk out on that boring ass accounting lecture.
Worst class in college.
Kosi Onyeka. Same.. but I stay in class put earphones on and watch it
Well it's probably the easiest topic in whole fucking calculus..
Can't afford still watching lol!
Nickk Bisht just sell your suit
I Robbed Your Car No cuz that suit makes other feel that I must be keeping Iphone/pixel in my pockets 😂
Nickk Bisht but if you sell your suit, you can actually have them in your pockets. Tf?
Nickk Bisht haha... you might someday! i own iphone 6+ n i am hoping to buy this/iphone8 someday 😂
Rachel_ I just started UA-cam channel, once It grows successfully I will own one for sure.... Thanks for wishes.
Ordered a refurbished pixel first generation 32 gig the other day. Package just came in, accidently sent me a 64 gig pixel 2. Oh no! :p
dont exchange it dude lol
Brian Burrous My brother ordered a phone and amazon sent hime 4 extra phones. He gave one to me, my parents, and my auntie 😂 I'm typing on my free phone as we speak
ApRiL3706 what phone is it?
Just Another Commenter Motorola 5G Plus
haha my dad ordered a samsung s3 from amazon and they sent him 10 pixel 2s so he gave one to everyone :D
I just caught the commercial and saw your quote and your name. Congrats!
Can you link me to the commercial
That "This thing is smart!" ???
Our boi made it bigly!
People calling marques sellout Well he makes reviews he says what he likes/dislikes about a smartphone but some people expect from him to say what they think he should say if you know what i mean. He clearly said if you don't like the display don't buy it get the note 8 for more saturated display. Well I think marques brownlee is the most unbiased tech reviewer on UA-cam and that's the reason why he is so popular. As always INCREDIBLE VIDEO!
no one says that about him lol... all i hear are good things.
Pelle how ? -_-
Pelle shes pretty bad lol
*Cough* OnePlus *Cough*
He is biased. And there was a Q&A video where he admits that. But he isn't afraid to give his opinion, which is good.
This was the pinnacle of a review a phone can get, I still think it is. Although I was watching Marques from a really long time but this was the video that made me realise how good this guy is in this industry.
Htc U11 : squeeze feature is gimmicky
Pixel 2 : Thumbs up!
He is bias
"So while it was definitely weird for me at first to squeeze the phone instead of touching a button to launch an app, it did pretty quickly get pretty easy"
You are just hating
Of course the first time a new smartphone feature arises you have to ask yourself "Is this actually useful in my everyday life?" The same thing happened with dual camera systems, curved screen edges, and shrunken bezels.
Also, and this is just my opinion, squeezing your phone to launch any app and having that app load up at the same speed it would've had you tapped on it from the app drawer _is_ a gimmick. But squeezing your phone to open one application at a _much faster speed in a more convenient way_ than you originally could, is a genuinely good feature. Instead of taking two or three seconds to open your phone and long press the home button or saying "Okay Google" before your question (which you should take into account can be a bit frustrating for people who don't speak English as their first language as saying it in even slightly worse pronunciation doesn't register due to your first voice model), you just squeeze the phone and start speaking almost simultaneously. Like Marques said, it's the fastest way to trigger the Assistant and that's why it works here. So yeah, on the U11 it's a fun gimmick, on the Pixel 2, it's a legit useful feature due to how well it's optimized and specified.
Wolf Gang yea cuz HTC had made it as useful as the Pixel 2... Its better man. Why you hating?
Wolf Gang exactly my point. He bitched out the u11 for this feature and how suddenly it's the next new big thing.
Legit scared me when you said "ok Google" and activated my home mini..
Your profile picture goes with what you said 😂😂
Lol same here. Craziness
When I say "are you serious", siri activates and I shiit myself...
thatonebooknerd Same thing happened here dude.
thatonebooknerd me too my started yawning and I almost shit myself
shame on google for not including type c headphones in the box.
I'd personally rather have the adapter than some cheap pieces of garbage that are thrown in for free.
I was pretty disappointed they didn't include a set of headphones. Lame
This would definitely make more sense, at least until Bluetooth gets to be on par with normal headphones.
Um fuck that shame on google for making the same mistake we all ridiculed apple for.
Nobody saw that coming... I still prefer cheap wired earbuds
Pixel 7 and it's Pro are out and I'm still watching a review from Pixel 2 and it's XL!
They quoted you in their commercial! Nice!
Yeah the "This thing is smart"
Is it smarter than a 5th grader though?
Jacob R I'd watch the fuck outta that reality show😊
Marques Brownlee Official you're fucking pathetic
Fifth graders have more ports...
true point.. it is though
I have my doubts!
When u have an 830 class but mkbhd comes out with a 17 minute video ... Fuck it
priorities
Daniel Aalfs same lmao
"The iPhone of the Android world" now that's a statement.
Second that
@samidkhan1150 Except they're not though
That's always been Samsung.
everyone bashed LG for plastic coating the metallic G5, now that google has done the same..it's cool and convenient and UNIQUE!
XL 2 is still metal but has coating
Google has become the Apple of Android phones.
Max Bardus Anf the G6
Good Vibes they are trying very hard because Apple rules the smartphone market.
Because on the marketing pitch LG does says "All Metal Phone" and trying pretty hard to not admit the plastic primer layer they used on g5. That's the problem.
The front bezels on the pixel 2 are bigger than my future.
hehe. Not sure why everyone complains about big bezels.
MicroPal because they're ugly. And outdated
Well since you have no future, every phone has bigger bezels.
Ash easy for a guy to say replying on a UA-cam comment 😂
Ananny mishra hahaha
If nobody comes from the future to
stop you, how bad can the decision
really be?
Gotta remember this argument
So that was Hitlers argument?
UA-cam just recommended this video ...AND I STILL LOVE MY PIXEL 2!
Wow , You did the best review on a product that I've ever seen ... You answered all my possible questions. Thank you
Ria Sakka
Mine too.. i've heard too many critics on the display. My concern is toward the processing too, is it fast enough?
yes
It is fast ! I bought the phone and I have it one month now ... It is far the best smartphonehone I ever had and I'm pretty sure it's one of the best that are on the market right now !!! I was an apple user. It is fast , it is beautiful , it's light , it takes the best pictures , 4k stunning videos , pictures I upload on my Instagram page many people think that are from a DSLR but it's this god damn phone ! unlimited storage and the best part of it ... It is smart ! It's like my personal assistant with the new Google Assistant and Allo app literally can help me with so many things that sometimes feels like you're talking to a person. I Iove the phone. I really hope it will get the attention it really deserves cause at least in my country the popularity doesn't even know that there is a Google phone made . :) XXX
yea this dudes good at reviewing
HTC U11 had the squeeze feature, nobody cared. Now it's loved on the pixel.
LG G5 had a layer of polymer on the metal body and everybody hated it. Now it's loved on the pixel.
LG (and samsung?) had the small window feature. It was considered bloatware. Now it's cool on the pixel.
I love all of these phones but how is this a thing?
Because same/similar features can be implemented in better ways than they were before or by other people.
Squeeze feature is better on the U11 though
Google is a fucking gimmick.
The squeeze feature on the U11 is better. It can be customized to open any app and you can use short squeezes or long squeezes to do different things. I use a short squeeze to open the camera and take shots. The long squeeze i use for taking screenshots. Just an example. The HTC U ultra was a bit of a flop but the U11 is a brilliant phone. It even comes with very good headphones to help with that missing headphone jack. The U11 is very underrated like most HTC phones. Its a shame.
veloxian The squeeze feature is way better on the u11, but people wrote it off as a gimmick. You could set it to launch the camera, take a picture, take a screenshot, bring up Google Assistant among other things. Google set it up so it could only launch google Assistant. How is it a gimmick on the u11 and not this google phone?
I have to say that some of the comments are terrible. Marques hasn't been shy about his preference for Android devices, though he typically carries both an iPhone and whatever is his favorite Android device at the moment. He has also expressed how important cameras are to him in his smartphones. So how does this mean the guy being paid by Google for a favorable review? FYI. UA-cam is owned by Google.
People talking about how black he is and his haircut. Don't y'all trolls have anything better to do than to be negative towards the young fella. Guess you wish you were making his high 6 to 7 figures! Terrible haters.
Keep up the good work Marques!
Agreed. Stop hating on Marques for no reason.
I agree. he took a good chunk of time to outline the display issues. Like he said, ultimately it will be up to the buyer to decide whether its a deal breaker or not. At the end of the day he's enitled to his opinion and if you really don't want to buy the device......don't.
Tyrone Thomas I agree. It wasn't a fanboy promotion. He acknowledged the blue hue when looking at the screen at an angle and said that didn't bother him based on how he uses the phone. He criticized the color scale. He acknowledged the image retention/burn-in and said that it is common in OLED and it doesn't bother. He is not that guy that will micro-manage the pixels on the screen.
As you said, he is entitled to his opinion. That is what we watch the channel for. It is up to us how we are going to use the information he shared.
Jay Woolridge hell Samsung have a yellow tint I feel as if people have just gotten used to it. I do have an s8+ and haven't noticed it as much but on older phones I would. Besides that who the hell is looking at their phone at stupid angles all the time anyway? People who watch popular UA-camrs do it no average person is going to go into a dark room to check stuff like that lol. I just wish people could just enjoy the phone they like not make videos or comments bashing a phone when unless you have used it for a month tbh personal opinion for me is irrelevant. Takes time to see real problems and see if any go away. Just like note 7 I loved it and never had any issues others had tons of issues every experience is going to be different.
Relax, nobody hates marques
Why are they all removing the headphone jack. I'm simply not interested in a smartphone without one. Surely a significant group of coustomers feel the same
It’s 100-year-old technology
neutrinocoffee ...that just works and is the most reliable is why it's been around for "100 years"...and why I switched from an iPhone to Samsung.
neutrinocoffee dont talk here ipong user! Fak your ass that is trend
I love the headphone jack too, but for most flagships, it's not a trend. It is a push towards the future. If companies like Apple remove the jack, then headphone companies will be forced to make better Bluetooth headphones. Eventually, we will get to all Bluetooth. The push is needed.
@@bEASToUTtHEbOX it won't be a few years from now. Wires are a mess.
HTC must be like, we make so visually appealing phones and yet nobody buys them.
We create half decent hardware, missing basic hardware but partner with Google, and surprisingly it's the next big thing.
Lots of people don't care about anything other than the GOOGLE logo on the name
but pixel 2 XL has a inferior display because LG made it ,
girlsdrinkfeck You think LG makes bad display? That's not true tho, I thought their displays are the only displays comparable with Samsung's displays (from what everybody said) and that should stand true since they do look nice.
Fawad Bilgrami 😂ikr
Fawad Bilgrami software experience...... marketing......lack of accessories...all attribute to "no one buying them"
A 17min long MKBHD video? YAAASSSSS!
keanu sanches It feels like were in a dream
keanu sanches wow
keanu sanches omg frrr I was so happy
Someone call Jacksfilms
Now just need a 17 min long primitive technology video..
The quality over quantity is what defines mkbhd for me. He doesn't care about just pushing out a review asap instead he acknowledges everything, Even the small details. :D u r awesome!
Why does this have so many likes!? U guys made my day!
i_n_s_e_k_t he does rush it. His just biased toward Apple, Samsung, Google and the other reviews are half-assed
Watch Dave 2D if you want to see better narrative reviews
i_n_s_e_k_t bit like Erica Griffin but she goes waaaay in depth too much and blabbs on and on about the displays gamma etc nobody cares lol
i_n_s_e_k_t lol but on some reviews just this year he dosent acknowledge some things i expected him to
i_n_s_e_k_t indeed I love how he takes his time
This was the only pixel that I actually had interest in
They want you to use the google buds, that is why there's no jack.
Apparently that is the trend now 😕
Wired connections are obviously better. Wireless is convenient, but at that price it becomes an obsolete gadget
Let me tell you something: Just because the audio input is gone, doesnt mean you have to buy Apples or Googles solutions!
I got me some AirPods for my iPhone and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Give it a chance you’ll see it’s worth it.
I don't have an Iphone and I don't intend to buy one. Even if I liked the OS it wouldn't be worth it...
They lost me with the no headphone jack smh wtf
That's why there's bluetooth
Alexandra Comaduran when the Bluetooth battery dies I like the option of wires. I don't even like blue tooth. Plus, you know how many times I've dropped my phone and it was saved from hitting the ground because I caught it by the wire? lol
True. I do like headphone jacks. I use one to connect my phone to my stereo as well. So maybe it's good to have them.
Alexandra Comaduran yeah that aux cable is the truth. then you can hook it up to mom Bluetooth speakers. I hate phones that dont have the headphone jack. I like options.
Brooklyn Jones its something that also stops me from jumping onto this phone immediately:/
Just downloaded November patch. The saturated mode is incredible!! Extremely satisfied!!!!!
Where do I find that setting? I'm used to Galaxy screens and my pixel is dulll
Good to hear
under display>advanced>colors
Good thing I'm colorblind then. I probably won't be able to notice if the display isn't the best.
Pixel 8 is out and im watching this man reviewing the pixel 2😂
Me too lol
Not U ultra it was U11 with the squeeze feature
Arun Gupta notice the squeeze feature was a gimmick on the HTC but on the pixel it's the next best thing.
I think it's handy for launching my camera on my u11
hardyman Not the next best thing. I don't think Marques believes that it's that amazing of a feature, not at all. Come on the speakers, software, camera, design all that is above that.
Why can't we have the OLED display of Samsung, Build Quality of S8, Finger Print Sensor of Pixel 2, Battery of OnePlus 5, Camera Colours of iPhone,Sharpness and Dynamic Range of Pixel and Software experience of Stock clean Android?
You'll get the desired phone if you replace this screen with Samsung Super AMOLED panel. Everything else is perfect in this phone I guess.
Don't forget a headphone jack
Because Swinesung OLED are fucking garbage. Anyone with a brain would stay away from that trash.

Thanks! I'm an HTC fanboy, but really wanted 5.5" or larger. I'd love to go for the XL but will probably wait.
MicroPal fair enough, my phone was due for upgrade tomorrow so I just went for it hahaha
Whats the memory storage on it??
I really liked the way you explained the issue with the screen. You gave it all the time it needed and shared your own views. And on top of that you didn't say that nit picking was bad because "it's just a phone". Thank you very much for explaining the problem, and for really understanding those people who find the pixel expensive but still buy it expecting a perfect phone for his/her personal needs. For some the screen issue is no biggie, for others, it is and someone might not want to drop 800 bucks on an imperfect screen. So kudos to you for explaining it so so well😀
After all of this years, I finally bought it (just because of it's cheap now😉).Love this bad boy🔥🔥🔥
I fucking love the pure Android experience

Pixel 7 is out, and I'm still watching pixel 2 review
I just ordered a black and white 2XL. I’ve used iPhones exclusively since the 3GS and always found it very limited in many ways. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely a fan of iOS and iPhones in general but I’m excited to step out of that ecosystem and see what pure android has to offer.
A bit of off-axis blue shifting is definitely not a big enough issue to avoid the Pixel in my opinion. There are so many more W’s in its column than there are L’s and if I’m going to sink my teeth into android, I want to experience it in its best form and be the first to receive updates when it inevitably gets better. I considered getting an S8/S8+ for a bit but after seeing how well tuned Google’s software experience is, along with a few other things I liked much more about the Pixel 2XL, it really wasn’t a competition in my mind.
Kyle Stewart I switched from iOS after being on apple for ten years ,the whole time since their have been smartphones. Lots of reviewers chose this phone as there daily and I knew there had to be something to it , best decision I've ever made , stock Android is so smooth , everything is better , notifications , custom home screens , this is how a smartphone should be , I don't think I'll ever go back to apple. You won't regret it :)
Kyle Stewart I
Kyle Stewart I switched when the 1st Pixel came out and haven't looked back since!
Give me one ..haha
I switched from android to iOS after 8 years. Now I’m using iPhone X, Airpods and Macbook Pro. Never looked back.
Finally a phone with dual front facing speakers. After 4 years I can finally replace my HTC One M7!! Thank god!
Harry Baker that HTC was amazing
Harry Baker :\ that phone was ahead of its time. If that phone came out now with all new guts and oled display I would get it.
Nexus 6P was my first front facing speakers phone and I couldn't be happier to go back after trying the iPhone 7 plus
My moto x style/pure also have it.
Most of Sony's Xperia phones had, and have, dual front facing speakers.
Do we all forget that the portrait mode and dual camera all began with the HTC ONE M8.
So... I just got this phone, and came here to see it's features and....
When he said no headphone jack
I FREAKED
Then don’t buy something before doing research!! You dumbass
Jackass. 🤡
Looks great. I'm getting the Pixel 3.
that was literally my exact same thought process.
Thought the same thing
Wat if they dont release a pix 3?
Luke what if is something not known but what we do know is the next Google phone is what some people are after. I have the pixel XL just not getting this one.
I was not a fan of this phone but your detail review made me its fan
Thumbs up for you & for this phone, 👍
It's like tech reviewers on UA-cam were paid by google.
Wait, they are.
That's what he is paid by Google (and Apple) to do...
Sucking on their cocks.
This is not a review... it's an advertisement.
The LG-manufactured screen is terrible... it's grainy, its viewing angle is like 10 degrees, you get a huge color change by moving the phone in your hand.
It's impossible for a "reviewer" not to notice it... he jus decided to not tell you that and apologize for Google.
Junaid Khan Wow, someone who likes Android and likes an android phone is biased.. Totally biased, and you're biased towards what you like.. See the logic?
jeromesnail Umm, you know he gets paid from UA-cam regardless of the review results, right? Just like the ubiquity of other reviewers with a range of view points. So what, he likes a phone.
Junaid Khan better hardware doesn't necessarily means better phone.. v30's software is just ridiculous and I can assure you it will lag after 7-8 months.. if hardware is everything then oneplus 5, xiaomi mi mix 2 would be the best phone.. pixel will be as smooth as an iPhone upto 2-2.5 years
I look forward to MKBHD reviews. I find they're more practical, less overblown or click-baity. Like with the display, he said it how it is. The color gamut isn't all there and other than prime viewing angles have a blue hue. But he doesn't blow it out of proportion like it's so terrible that everyone shouldn't buy it, like some reviews have. Keep it up! :)
Scott Kepple not too sure of that. I don't own the phone but I use my phone at night for on average 2-4 hours in bed. Isn't that prime conditions for grain and such? I would imagine a non-trivial amount of people do the same.
oh please you wouldn't even notice this "grain" in the first place. And even in bed I'm looking directly at my phone. I have a 6P which has a limited viewing angle like MOST smartphones and it has never bothered me.
I don’t know why I’m so nostalgic for MKBHD videos on phones I wanted in highschool.
ON POINT!
I don't know, it kinda sounded like some chinese guy in the end.
"AANPOINN"
Screen is Shit.

Cant wait for the LG V30 review
Pixel 7 pro is out and I'm still watching a man review a pixel 2.
Thanks for the review Marques. It helps add some nuance and perspective to this past week of news. My girlfriend and I ordered 2 xl 2's on launch and have been worried as hell about this screen gate garbage. Your insight helped a lot, thanks man.
+Andrew Barber His insight may not be applicable to you btw because displays can be very finicky and vary from customer to customer. Always check your display from time to time so that if anything happens to it, you can still exchange it, if you have it within your warranty period. Good luck dude !
Aditya Ghosal thanks dude I just hope that the cases of issues are few and far between. I actually bought the insurance anyhow so that's always an option if they ever update the panel 6mos later.

The GameAHolic did it? Really? Wow! That's fucking crazy man!
Lol my phone got stuck when he said ok google 😂😂
zubin razak Don't you have voice recognition? Unless your voice sounds nearly the same on his, your Assistant shouldn't have popped up.
I love watching MKBHD's videos again & again.
THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!!!
But seriously. I've been watching a ton of reviews as they were coming out trying to make a good choice but I always wait until your review drops before I make a decision about a phone. I think you have some of the best opinions and taste and I will always take your word on a phone. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos! They have helped me a ton in making informed decisions for years and I will continue to base those decisions off of your input! Great work man! Big things!
Google just quoted you on one of their google pixel 2 commercials.
Jack Pane No i meant where in this video did they quote him
It’s not in this video I was just pointing it out
Woah, the camera is incredible! That pretty much sells it for me, great review👍
Today is April 2023. I have this device for 5 years, I bought it new in the box. This device is very cool. However it has a weak battery. Even a new battery barely lasts for one day. I replaced the battery after 3 years of use. Today he has a different battery. For 2 years of use its capacity is 89%. This is about 4 hours of screen time
apple is ip67 not 68
.....and the iphone isn't basic? other than the IPhoneX no home button all the iphones ever made look almost the same.
xxroyalxtigerxx lmfao iphones spend more money on accessories and lack 2017 signals and tech.
TommoFo Sure you're allowed to have that opinion, and it's perfectly valid. But please don't fool yourself in to thinking that's a fact. It's not.
You're making yourself sound like an ignorant fool I'm afraid.
TommoFo no I really like the panda look and the black color of the pixel 2.
And the HTC U11 has the squeeze feature not the U Ultra
if you didn't notice in his 5 minute careless review of HTC U11 he didnt care/wasn't paid by HTC to care enough to remember the name of the phone he himself reviewed a few months ago. and yet we are meant to take his opinion on it seriously? lol.
Same thing with LG V30
Robert Hardy HTC don't paid that only problem.
Apple don't have ip68
SStech Yes it does. iPhone 8 has IP68.
Strangely Unusual i think iphone 8 is still 67
Strangely Unusual No bro it is IP67 😄
their website says IP67 for both iPhone 8 and X
that's what i was thinking
watching this in May 2021! love going back to older reviews of tech
17 minutes of information for this wonderful device .. Thank you 👏👏🌷
No headphone jack -_- CAN ANYONE FCKING TELL ME WHY DO COMPANIES DO THIS?!!!!
Wireless is where we are headed to, I personally don't mind since my buds are wireless already
so that we'll buy Bluetooth headphones.. then they'll gain more money!!!
Because they claim 'consumers' 'want' thinner phones and 'waterproofing' gets easier. Or sometimes 'modernization'
Don't worry you can buy a Bluetooth adaptor for your normal headphones, you just plug them into the adaptor and they are now Bluetooth.
The adaptors are very cheap, you just charge them up plug your headphones in and you now have Bluetooth headphones, and the adaptors are about the size of a coin so not that bulky.
CAN ANYONE FUCKING TELL ME WHY WE NO LONGER HAVE FLOPPY DISK AS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD?! There's your answer. Time to move on.
They quoted you in the newest commercial
Which one?
Cross X the pixel 2 with the song - i need youuuu. Baby. You can make my hearrrrrt - gooround. Youuuuuuuuuuu. You can make my heart... Goround
ron Can I have the link please?
Pixel 6 is out and m here watching pixel 2 review.
Bc we can't afford the Pixel 6 lol
hi fi
If it had a headphone jack it would be awesome
And thats the main reason i will not be getting this phone, its a shame really, i love having good sound quality but only pixel and htc have these and htc is also going in a way i dont like any more
What will you do when no phones support headphone jacks? Also, there is the USB C to headphone dongle you can use. I just keep it plugged into my headphones, that way I always have it when I need it.
+Fratm's Linux Channel so you are telling me they will just drop the DAC audio just like that *LMAO* . bought the LG for the Bang&Olufsen partnership and the audio quality is miles ahead it's competition (beside the headphones quality, try to connect it to a car AUX-smth with dolby audio atleast pls- and you'll see the difference). you can't compare the bluetooth (even if it is the aptX HD) or usb type C audio quality to the 3,5mm jack.
Blue tooth u filthy casual
Gili Briggs honestly the headphone jack is going away. It’s the last analog port, they do make wireless headphones with great quality. I use some nose wireless and Jaybird earbuds and their great! Cars also have adapters to make Bluetooth enabled. I think it’s a great phone, not having a DAC makes more audio possibilities arise.
What happened to your 5 pillars?!
what are those
He does not use it in all the videos
I understand, but I believe it is important in this video as I want to know if the Pixel 2 XL passes the screen criteria as he said that in each of the 5 pillars the phone should do "not just good, great"~MKBHD in Note 8 vid. As the feel I got from this review that it is an OK screen, and I think that this is not good enough
5 pillars of a great smartphone: Great build quality, Great Display, Great Camera, Great Performance, and a Great Battery. if a smart phone do all these well, then in his opinion it qualifies as a great smartphone.
The pixel would easily fail 2 of those and Google wouldnt be happy about it.
Am I the only one who hears a thud sound like a construction work goin on in the whole video...!!!
Uvan Sankar I hear it plus people talking. Pretty poor really
Mick Harrison Hope marques takes a look in it...!!!
Yeah there are sounds like someone's walking or banging on wood. I'm listening via headphones.
john rosario Yaa..I too noticed when I wore headphones..!!
If you've seen any of his previous videos, there is construction going on in the space next to him/outside his office. So yeah, some thuds and people talking are expected.
Finally my pixel 2 died after 5 years...RIP 😢 You will be missed buddy
Is "that is smart" gonna be the new "poor use of space"😂😂😂
I just thought the same thing!
*poor use of space
Was looking for this.
Well put
I've been keeping an eye on Pixel 2 because of how recommended the camera is...but this color space issue is definitely a huge deal, especially if you're considering Adobe Lightroom mobile as an option for touching up photos
Who's here after the Pixel 4 review?
Me
Me
The Pixel 4 was a disappointment can't you see how enlightened he is in this review?
@@rizdog5735 idk man, the reviewers only judged by the numbers, as someone who's used the phone, All I can say is that it's a great phone but the only flaw is it's not worth a 1000$. The battery is pretty great too actually.
Can google do better? yes, but overall I'm satisfied with the user experience, the design and the camera
I’m only halfway through this video, and I already feel you’ve given me the most in-depth review of this phone so far. So many more features than I originally thought.
Yes dear^_^o:-)
This same fine guy in the U11 review:
"The squeeze feature seems to be just a gimmick that I wouldn't use" "It's unnatural to squeeze a phone"
*All the sudden it's soooo cool and useful in this Pixel even when all it does is launch Google Assistant while the U11 launches basically everything on the phone with 2 types of squeezes*
Intro is dope 😎
Dope Tech: INTRO
Radheshyam Kharva I know I made it! Thanks! :)
HighMagnitudeGT liar
Imback 2killu it's really dope man.
Even Google is so ashamed of pixel 2's big bezels that all they showed in their io was pixel 2 xl's front and pixel 2's back.
yeah honestly i'd love the regular pixel 2 if it weren't for those bezels. the xl is just so much more aesthetically pleasing
I have the Pixel 2 and the bezels have never bothered me. They're not that big in person. The screens only 5", the phone would've been way too tiny had they made it edge to edge.
For people that are sad about the Pixel 2 support ending, with Android 10 and onward, you can get Play System Updates still (sent by Google to every Android 10 device), that contain security updates and bug fixes.
You can continue to use your Pixels 2 just fine people
I'm really impressed and enjoying the Pixel 2 reviews, sadly won't ever get it but it's good to look at it!!
You make the best reviews, hands down
Pixel 2 vs V30? 🤔
UnPhayzable V30 is much much better compared to the pixel except for the camera.
UnPhayzable V30. Hands down
to me this just is dependent on whether or not you NEED the latest android releases or if you're fine being a version behind for a while. If that doesn't matter V30 is solid. If you have to have stock android and want to always be out front, go Pixel 2
V30
Huawei Mate 10 or Mate 10 Pro
Who is here after Pixel 3 launch?
All really did
I can't afford it so I buy a refurbished Pixel 2 XL
