Google Pixel 2 XL arrives in India

The much-anticipated Google Pixel 2 XL has arrived in India, and will be available at a price of Rs 73,000 for the 64GB variant, and Rs 82,000 for the 128GB variant.

The flagship device will be available from today exclusively on Flipkart, and at Reliance Digital, Croma, Poorvika, Sangeetha Mobiles, Vijay Sales and other offline retail stores across India.

Running Android Oreo, Pixel 2 XL has a full screen 6-inch QHD+ (2880x1440) pOLED 18:9 display with 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor, Adreno 540 graphics, 12MP f/1.8 rear camera with optical plus electronic stabilisation, 8MP f/2.4 front camera, stereo front-firing speakers, Wi-Fi 2.4/5GHz 802.11, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a 3,520mAH battery. The phone uses an aluminium unibody with a hybrid coating, and is IP67 water and dust resistant and it is backed by a full two-year warranty.

Google Pixel 2 XL also includes Google Lens-a new set of visual features that help you learn more about the world around you and get things done. At the start you'll be able to look up landmarks, books, music albums, movies, and artwork, right from Google Photos on your Pixel.

You can also take an action like asking Google Lens to copy URLs and contact information from a picture of a poster or business card. Over just the next few months, Google will add more capabilities, as well as the ability to use it in the Google Assistant.

Pixel 2 XL also has Assistant built right in with a new feature called Active Edge. Just give the phone a quick squeeze, and ask for what you need. This works even when your phone is in a case. The Google Assistant on Pixel not only understands you better but can also be personalised.

The phone is available in two colour variants- Just Black, and Black and White.
