Google Pixel 2 Unboxing & First Impressions! By Nick Ackerman

Google Pixel to unboxing and first impressions coming up right. Now, let's go so what is up guys Nick here, helping you to master your technology and welcome to my Google Pixel 2 unboxing now I did a poll on Twitter and people said they wanted to see the pixel ? more than the 5 T. So here it is the pixel ?, potentially I'll bring the 5 t later on, but I did decide to go with the smaller version the XL I didn't want because I do have you know date: I have the s, ain't, Plus, and I'm, just kind of getting tired of the big screens, so I do want to check out the smaller pixel here. So you can see on the back. It does say: team a pixel on the left side. You can see the Google Assistant is built in here and then on the front.

Pixel ? at the top, a little picture of the pixel. It's pretty clean box I do like it overall. So let's go ahead and get into it now, alright, so this box, just kind of you know, comes out really tightly. It's not super soft. Like the one with the iPhone, where you just take the plastic off and falls off, but here it is the pixel ? now this is my first pixel ever, not just the first pixel -.

This is the first pixel phone I've ever had here on the channel now I have used Google Nexus devices in the past, so this is not new for me when it comes to using a pure Google phone I used to have the Nexus 6, even here on the channel and I did have the 5 X. So this is not a like a super new thing to me, but I've never actually has a new pixel brand. So there is the phone right there and right out the gate super light. That's why I wanted this one right here very light phone, and definitely this bottom is questionable how you feel about this. It kind of feels premium.

Yet it feels kind of like the polycarbonate days of yesteryear, but I know a lot of people are gonna, say man, look at those bezels I hear it already. That's ok, though at least they threw in some dual firing speakers here on the front of the pixel. So over here inside the box, you're going to see that unfortunately, Google decided to not give us the headphones in the box, which I never liked, especially for what this phone's cost. So you can see. Let's get started right here, and then it does have some more you know guides.

We don't need to read this. Will we read this later on, and then you get a SIM card to need those because I lose those every time? I get a new phone and goodbye, headphone jack. That's why we do have an adapter here. This is for USB, but you're going to see right here, dongle life, so goodbye, a headphone jack, no longer you're getting a headphone jack on team pixel and at the bottom, though it does look pretty clean, but there's no headphone jack. So you really have to decide if that's going to be an important feature to you with buying a Google Pixel.

If you are in the market to get one, do you really need that headphone jack I? Don't think you know, any phones are gonna, have it within the next three years, but we'll have to see how that goes. It is rumored that Samsung is gonna, keep the headphone jack. You know one more year, so there's a USB to us PC. So there is a USB to USB, see nice stuff right there over. Here we do have what looks like our charging.

Brick that looks like it is a fast charge, so we'll have to try that out and see how that charges I'll cover more and talk more about that in the review, but that's pretty much it very cleans white box that kind of rigged it let's get into the phone itself now, alright guys. So the pixel 2 does have the power button located on the right side here about right there. So it rests pretty good in your hand. Let's go ahead and boot this up, and we should see the Google Pixel loading up and 5-inch right here, 1920 by 1080p display. This thing is gonna, be sharp enough.

It's OLED! It should be sharp enough for this size. I'm not really worried about it, not being 2k. It's a 5-inch screen, so it really cares. Let me go ahead and skip this I'm going to connect to my Wi-Fi, and we'll be back, and we are on the phone. So here we are in the Google Pixel -.

So, first, you know this screens right out the gate. It's not popping out at you. This screen is not impressing. Nobody when it comes to lively, colors or anything like that, but I can tell you right now just playing with it for a few minutes here. The software is ridiculously smooth so way smoother than I've, seen on any other Android phone this year so far.

Well, probably the closest thing to this is the OnePlus series of devices, but the Samsung devices, the LG devices. You know the other Android device is not even close, and I would even say this feels smoother right. Now, then, of the iPhone with the buggier iOS 11, which hasn't been a super, perfect experience so far, so I am liking. What I'm, seeing here in terms of software I, will have to cover it more to see how you know does overtime here, but on the rear is really the standout feature here for me with the Google Pixel ?, that's a 12 megapixel Sony sensor, but Google is doing some AI stuff and some HDR processing in the rear, like in the background. You don't really have to do anything.

You just shoot your picture, it does it automatically and what you end up with it was as a result that you want to get so let me go ahead and take a photo of this Google home and mini right here. Let me grab the camera, and you can see boom dual pixel AF and shoot the picture, and it should turn out clear pretty much every time. So this is going to be one of the best cameras of the entire year and any smartphone, maybe the best camera of all time and any smartphone. So far now you know using a Galaxy Note 8 using s, 8 plus you're, not gonna, be blown away by these pictures, but I think it's enough to say this is pushing the camera industry forward here on the pixel, ? 4 gigs of ram and a snapdragon 835 onboard. So this is not gonna, be no chump.

When it comes to the processing performance, 2,700 William hour battery in this one I would like a larger battery. But hey. This is a small device, so I'm not expecting a four thousand William hours in this small device. Now video capabilities are up to you 30fps only on the 4k. So if you do want to do 4k 60, you still have to get an Apple device.

You're not gonna, get that here with pixel 2. But what you will get is Bluetooth 5.0. You will get a nice fingerprint scanner and a nice location on the rear, unlike the iPhone 10 you're also going to get a much cheaper price, so this phone is gonna, run you about 650 bucks here on the total price. So it's definitely undercut in the competition there are. A lot of phones.

Are right around $1000 this year you do get the USB type-c, reversible, connectors at the bottom as well, and a B G and n Wi-Fi AC. So it's loaded with all the high-tech you want in terms of 2017. However, it is missing a couple of things like wireless charging, like the ability to have liked we said earlier, a headphone jack, but you do trade that for the front of the smartphone having dual speakers which will attest in the future review. But my first impressions of this phone are I like how light this phone feels. It feels super light in comparison to a lot of other smartphones and some people think that you know a light phone doesn't feel premium, but what the soft on the pixel ? that shouldn't make up for that.

If you don't think this feels premium now, it does have like a little of a metal strip around the edges of the phone. Let me get in the focus here. You can see right here just a little of metal there, but to be honest, it feels kind of polycarbonate on the rear. I haven't heard exactly what this material is, but this feels kind of like glass up here and like a plastic polycarbonate and a reminiscent of like cameras like you know how the cameras feel, like those plastic body cameras, they kind of feel like this phone right here review coming soon, so you might want to subscribe for that anyway. Nick helping you to master your technology be sure to be well.

I will catch you all annex one and pace.
