BREAKING NEWS! I have just bought a Google Pixel 2 after years of owning only iPhones and I could not be happier.
This iPhone to Android switch is a success story, unlike many I've heard. I begrudgingly switched to an Android because my iPhone 6 would run out of storage all the time when I had no photos and only necessary apps on there, could not hold a charge for even half of a day, and was slower than the original 1980s Apple computer. The Google Pixel 2 has so much storage, has a battery life that lasts longer than a day, is super fast, and has other amazing features that beat out my old iPhones by a landslide!
One of my favorite features of the Pixel 2 is the Bokeh effect on the camera. (For those of you who don't know, the Bokeh effect is when a picture's background is blurred and out of focus in an aesthetic style). This is really awesome for all of you who post cool artsy pictures on Instagram. You don't need a professional camera to make this effect happen; all you need is the Pixel 2! Plus, this effect is available on the front-facing and back-facing camera, which means your selfies can be even more on point!
Another cool feature of the Pixel is the Google Lens. This is great to find out more about the world around you. All you have to do is open your camera app, point the camera at what you're interested in learning more about (such as a historical building) and then the Google Lens will recognize it and give you instant information about it. Who needs a tour guide when you've got this?!
The Google Pixel 2 (and all other Google phones) also has UNLIMITED free Google storage. That means you can take unlimited pictures, write all of your English papers in Google Docs, and make thousands of spreadsheets for your Organic Chemistry lab in Google Sheets. My school uses Google for its email, so having the Pixel 2 makes it even easier to check emails and even do homework on my phone. I like free things and I like an unlimited supply of free things, so the unlimited Google storage is definitely for me!
My past iPhones are nothing compared to this phone. I would have killed to get unlimited storage on my other phones and now I have it for free! Compared to my iPhones, the Pixel is much faster, has a brighter and sharper screen, takes AMAZING pictures, and has a larger display size. To anyone looking to upgrade their phone, I 100% recommend that you buy a Google Pixel 2!
