The Google Pixel 2 Will Not Be As Good As Note 8, LG V30

Google is slated to announce the Pixel 2 on October 4th, at an event in San Francisco. As per usual with unannounced smartphones, there has been plenty of leaks of the new devices – including some pretty big ones in the past week. So many users already know just about everything about the upcoming devices, and at this point, they seem to be a bit underwhelming, even for a Google smartphone. Now it’s worth mentioning that a number of the leaks and renders we’ve seen recently, do not show the front of the device, which leads us to think that there may be a big surprise on the front (perhaps a 18:9 aspect ratio display like many other flagships in 2017). But at this point, the LG V30 and Galaxy Note 8 do definitely appear to be better smartphones than the Pixel 2.

This isn’t to say that the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 won’t be great phones, they likely will be. But they aren’t the only great smartphones available this year. The Pixel 2 line is going to be facing some pretty stiff competition in late 2017, and its pricing is definitely not what hardcore Android fans were expecting or are wanting to pay. Google, at one time, released smartphones that were as cheap as $299 with flagship specs. Now they have nearly tripled that price. Which is a big difference in just 5 years. However, it appears that it is something that Google fans are going to have to get used too going forward. It seems that hardware bearing the “Pixel” branding is going to be expensive no matter what – see the Chromebook Pixel or the rumored Pixelbook. Of course, we’ll find out all of the details on the new Pixel 2 smartphones at Google’s hardware event on October 4th, which is just a couple of weeks away now.
