The phone will also have IP67 dust and water resistivity and a Gorilla Glass 5 display. One more feature the Pixel 2 XL will host is the squeeze gestures through which different actions can be performed by squeezing the sides of the phone.

Pixel is Google’s own manufactured phone with one of the best cameras. The Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL might host cameras that will compete with the cameras of the newly released iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
