Remembering the Google Pixel 2, probably the best Pixel ever made
Original article | Previous post

After remembering the first Pixel which started the series of Google made phones, time for the 2nd generation. By this time. the device is already 4 years old.

In early 2017, there is three Pixel 2 devices. The two devices that get to launch is HTC's Pixel 2 (walleye) and LG's Pixel 2 XL (taimen). Another device which didn't get to launch is HTC's Pixel 2 XL (muskie), it is canceled in favor of LG-made model. It is reported that due to price concern around the HTC-made device compared to LG version, and LG managed to produce a more attractive-looking at a more competitive price.

HTC Pixel 2 XL didn't make it appearance until a few months ago. It is an upscaled version of the Pixel 2, with sizeable vertical bezels. Before Pixel 2 actual launch, Google forked over $1.1 billion to bring aboard 2,000 HTC employees, many of whom had already worked on Pixel phones. We can see that Google really want to expand their hardware division.

Pixel 2 XL at that time looks modern while the smaller version doesn't since it has big chunk of bezels. The Pixel 2 XL unfortunately has display issues with the form of poor colors and viewing angles, also several other issues. Anyway Google try push software updates to address the issue of colors and reduce image persistence, but still "the thing you looked at every time you used the phone — was just not good."

Pixel 2 also launch with some Pixel exclusive features, one of it being "Now Playing" which it can detect what songs is being played in the background without Internet connection, it still a Pixel exclusive so far till now. Also Google Lens is launched with the device, and later got rollout to every other Android devices. Pixel camera also got improvement too, with a new optically stabilized shooter. Lastly, it came with water resistant too.

So Pixel Visual Core (an early ancestor of the Pixel 6's Google Tensor chip's AI hardware) first appeared on the Pixel 2, thought it was disabled at launch. In a later update, Google enabled it to speed up the photo processing. Not to forget mention that Pixel 2 also got a really great camera. Also it manage to grab a few Pixel Feature Drop update before being deprecated, though you still can receive some of it via app updates.

On the Internet, I could see many people praising the Pixel 2 as the best Pixel ever made till now in 2021, especially the Pixel 2 XL model, though it has some display issues. Excited about the Pixel 6 whether it can beat Pixel 2 as the best Pixel or not.

Anyway, most content here are inspired from Android Central article (again, lol), first link above is it (or just use Instant View feature if you are on mobile). Also, we have a Pixel 2 community too (here group chat) which most of them even treat there as the place to comment all these posts from this channel (that why our group here is just simply dead, man).

PSA: There are reports of SafetyNet not working, something on Google's side broke again

Unrooted people will not pass SafetyNet. (my own OnePlus 8T running unrooted Stock 11 here)

Google must've changed something in the API, apps that use the older implementation (McDonalds & SafetyNet checkers etc.) will claim that you failed SafetyNet test when you haven't. Magisk Manager has a working check that will properly say the state of your SafetyNet
