- Samsung, more locked BOOTLOADE... moreUltimately, this comes down to preference. Bash Samsung all you want, but it still is one of the biggest brands around, and many people still prefer to go for a Samsung than any other brand - why is that so? Reliability & Innovation.
Samsung pioneered the Note - back in the day when 5 Inch screens were considered taboos
Samsung introduced the S-Pen - up to date, no other manufacturer has been able to copy that
Samsung pioneered the Super AMOLED display - which is still the gold-standard of displays.
Let's put it this way, before you bash away, please do your research. The Pixel 2 is by all means an awesome phone, but they took away some of the key features that are actually USEFUL. Google Drive storage is just awesome when you have the internet speed to work with it; once the lines goes down - you're pretty much stuck unless you sync it to your phone - which in turn takes it's toll on your PHONE memory - at this point, expandable storage does sound kinda cool right?
So, just my two cents - don't bash unless you're absolutely certain of your facts on this matter - I've been using Samsung ever since the first Galaxy S, back when they weren't that big, and they've come a long way. Many manufacturers end up copying or "innovating" to what Samsung has done in the past. Heck, even the bloody OLED panels on the Iphone X is made by Samsung.
No mean to defend Samsung over here, but I find your bashing rather pretentious and unbacked by facts - you're only attacking the physical aesthetic and software of the phone - But always remember that Pixel is stock android - and updates are fast because of that.
Cheers.

I'm sorry? You sure about yourself? First time I've ever heard about these. You really want to bashing Samsung using your nonsense reason.
"- Headphone jack... Meh, I move with technology and wireless is the future. Plus there is an adapter if you want wires.."
Again, not all 'future' inventions is the best. Most of people don't practically using wireless headphones. But if it has headphone jack, it would be advantage to this phone.

With Google Phones, they promised that it will have 3 years of guaranteed software updates. However, lets say I purchase the phone in the United States and decide to live in another country a year later. Are the software updates Global? Or is it only country or region specific?
Please help, I am really interested in this Phone. Thank you in advace!

All Google Pixel phones get unlimited backup to Google Photos with original, full resolution.
4k, 16+MP, you name it dumbass.
It's one of the perks of buying a Pixel.

annotomus, 16 Oct 2017can i ask why ??You can look on Aircrackng post below.
Or I can explained to you
Google Pixel 2 XL
Price around 900EURO
* No headphone jack
* No IP68 rating (But IP67 is great though but better with IP68)
* No microSD card slot
* Looks ugly on their back panel (just my opinion)
Compared to S8 / XZ Premium
Price around 600-700 EURO
* Has heaphone jack
* Has IP68 rating
* Expandable storage with microSD card
* Great and beautiful design on back panel (just my opinion)
I think Samsung and Sony does a great job on making their flagships phone while they still provided with some features that nowadays most flagships phone doesn't have it especially on headphone jack and microSD card slot.

Even after 2020 you will maintain any photos or videos already saved on the drive storage and only the new one will have the "optimise" dimensions.

Both the Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30 have major benefits over the Pixel 2... this is a pretty misfortunate device considering everything... especially for the price...
Why no Micro SD...
Why no headphone jack?
Why not ip68 certification like the rest of its competition or even MIL STD 810g like the v30?
Why not a dual camera like other flagships?
Why not further future proofed CAT 16 LTE like its competition?
Worse body screen to bezel ratio than its rivals...
It's not that it's a total disappointment it's still a great phone but... it should be leading the pack not following. They could have done even better.
