Pixel vs Pixel 2

Upgrading from a Google Pixel to a Pixel 2 will give you a similar-looking device with a nice year-over-year performance boost. The processor goes from the Snapdragon 821 to the Snapdragon 835, and Google also added the Pixel Visual Core and Security Module. The Pixel Visual Core brought HDR+ photography to third-party camera apps, and the Security Module makes your phone a bit more secure and tamper-resistant. Google also released Portrait Mode with the Pixel 2.
