So Google's new dynamic duo takes on the competition from Apple LG and others, in just two neat and clean sizes, the 5-inch Pixel 2, with its more traditional styling and prominent top and bottom bezels, along with the 6-inch Pixel 2 XL, which adheres to a more current theme perhaps, with thin top and bottom bezels that help the larger format device feel smaller and fit better in average-sized hands. Regardless, with interesting color combinations and accents like "Clearly White" and "Kinda Blue," the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL in certain configurations can really stand out, though we're working with two of the most low profile models you'll find in -- you guessed it -- "Just Black."

From a straight-up features and specs standpoint, the new Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have it all and then some, save for wireless charging, unfortunately. Beyond that, they are powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC backed with 4GB of RAM and come in either 64GB or 128GB storage variants. The 5-inch Pixel 2 sports a 2700 mAh battery while the 6-inch Pixel 2 XL is backed by a bodacious 3520 mAh power plant. The Pixel 2 has a 5-inch AMOLED display at a 1920x1080 FHD resolution, while the Pixel 2 XL has a 6-inch pOLED display at a 2880X1440 QHD+ resolution. pOLED stands for Plastic OLED display (built by LG) and it's a similar technology to standard AMOLED. More on these displays shortly.Other than their display and chassis sizes, as well as battery capacities, specs between these two new Pixels are identical. Both devices are also outfitted with the same 12.2MP rear facing cameras with both optical and electronic image stabilization, as well as laser and dual-pixel phase-detection autofocus and f1.8 apertures. More on these cameras, shortly as well.
