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

Interesting stuff is happening in the community this month, our group chat also managed to pass 400 members milestone. The channel is also nearing 600 and will hit it by next month I guess. Anyway, here some Pixel topic that happening this month:

Google Pixel 2 is 4 years old
October is Google Pixel's birthday and Google Pixel 2 is 4 years old now. It been almost one year since Google abandon the device for updates. Big milestone for you if you have been owning the device since 2017. We also have a post celebrating the Pixel 2 too, with the history behind the device, the features it got and many more.

Android 12 ROM for Pixel 2
Yeah, I know Android 12 is a major change and many people would like to try it out. We could see developers booting it which is cool. It comes with some bugs as expected. There are also a lot of stuff to be polished too before it can get stable release. So is there any Android 12 ROM for Pixel 2? Good news, yes, @reallysnow built ArrowOS for the Pixel 2 XL and what not working is the encryption, also SELinux is permissive for now, hopefully it get fix in the next few updates. Pixel 2 owner can flash Android 12 Beta 3.1 GSI to get experience with Android 12 for now. Hope to see it gets a proper ROM release too one day.

Pixel 6 Ultimate Highlights
Since you guys own a Pixel (or interested in it), you are probably interested into Google latest flagship, Pixel 6. It is officially announced a week ago, and surprisingly if you are in the US, the price is just shocking low for the Pixel 6, starting at just $599, probably thanks to the Google Tensor chip. For other regions, it slightly higher by $100+ due to shipping and other factors. Anyway, this is just a tip of the iceberg and you can discover more from our own ultimate highlights post, which cover every single topic of the Pixel 6 launch stuff in details. You can also check some of the Pixel 6 full review we picked.

Took me a whole day to write all these stuffs + putting everything into one post (the Pixel 6 Ultimate Highlights post), if you like it consider following the channel @PixelHubUpdates as we will continue to post stuff like this. Also another quick update, we have created Pixel 6 community, so if you are interested in the device development or purely just want to have fun over there, welcome to join @Pixel6Updates & @Pixel6Chat. That's all and have a nice day!

Every month of the 27th GMT 07:00, we will release some tips regarding our community, so you guys get to discover more stuff for your device :D
Hey, we've decided to make a Pixel 6/6 Pro chat/updates channel. Same thing, same people, just different phone.

Feel free to join it if you're planning/curious about the Pixel 6 series! Like with rest of our channels we'll be posting ROMs, kernels, guides, mods, news and more!

So yeah, join here: @Pixel6Updates @Pixel6Chat
