Beautiful and bold..with complications. The new no-compromise MacBook. A stellar on-ear headphone. Crave-worthy curves for a premium price. The phone will sell for around $400, and gives you the premium Nokia 8's "bothie" camera software. Nokia is really making up for lost time. After releasing four smartphones this year and reviving an old feature phone (twice), the company on Thursday revealed the Nokia 7. It's a midrange phone with dual cameras and the flagship Nokia 8's "bothie" camera software.
The Pixel 2 vs, the Pixel 2 XL, The smaller phone uses a 5-inch Samsung AMOLED screen, while the larger has a 6-inch LG P-OLED one, The short answer: It's basically all true, But after a close comparison of five different phones here in the CNET offices -- two Pixel 2 XL, two LG V30 and a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for comparison -- it's more of a nuanced issue, and less of an open and lovecases paradise lust iphone 8 / 7 case - meloncholy shut case, Screen nerds may want to steer clear of the Pixel 2 XL for now, but we don't believe any of the issues we're seeing are deal breakers for ordinary users..
Here's how things shake out. Update, October 25: There's actually a fourth issue -- screen burn-in -- that's potentially even worse than any of the other issues discussed here. We saw it on two out of six different Pixel 2 XL units we tested, and we've seen other reports around the internet. We have updated our Pixel 2 XL review as a result, and we'll let you know if we can get a clear explanation from Google about what's going on. There's no question that the colors on the Pixel 2 XL's 6-inch, 2,880x1,440-pixel P-OLED screen aren't quite as vibrant as those on the flagship Samsung phone we used for comparison. We created pure red, green and blue RGB images in Photoshop at each phone's native resolution for an apples to apples test, and the Pixel 2 XL's colors were consistently muted by comparison. It didn't matter whether we turned on the phone's "Vivid" mode, or reduced the Samsung phone's brightness to better match -- the Samsung's colors always popped in a way the Google's screen didn't.
But would you notice in everyday use? We're tempted to argue you wouldn't, When we watched movie trailers and CNET videos instead of peeping pixels, we had a tough time noticing a difference in color, (Maybe the skin tones were slightly better on the Samsung.), Google's phone is water-resistant, You might also argue that the muted colors are intentional, that Google calibrated its screen this way, Google certainly argued that, in a statement to CNET, "We designed the Pixel display to have a more natural and accurate rendition of colors this year but we know some people prefer more vivid colors so we've added an option to boost colors by 10% for a more saturated display, We're always looking at people's responses to Pixel and we will look at adding more color options through a software update if we see a lot of feedback."But again, the "Vivid" mode lovecases paradise lust iphone 8 / 7 case - meloncholy didn't make a big difference in our tests -- and for whatever reason, the two LG V30 phones we tested, also with identical size and resolution P-OLED screens, didn't have muted colors, They looked nearly as vibrant as the Samsung..
Besides, colors aren't the only potential issue with Google's screen. The phone looks fine viewed head-on, pointed directly at your face. OK, maybe the colors are a touch muted. (See above.) But tilt it even a little bit, and all those colors get way cooler. Everything you see takes on a blue tint. It's not unusual for a screen's colors to change at off-angles, particularly in phones with curved glass edges like these. Even our reference Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus takes on blue tint if you tilt it far enough. But the Pixel 2 XL's blue shift is so immediate, the sweet spot so small, that you need to hold it perfectly level with your face to avoid the blue color cast.
