Those upgrading from the Google Pixel to the Pixel 2 XL will be getting a bigger device, along with a solid year-over-year boost. The Pixel 2 XL features a 6.0-inch FHD+ flexible OLED at 538ppi and was powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage space. New additions that arrived with the Pixel 2 XL include the Pixel Visual Core and Security Module, as well as Active Edge and water resistance. The rear-facing camera went from a 12.3MP to a 12.2MP dual-pixel, and Google also rolled out support for Portrait Mode.
