Is Austin Evans worth it. Why does Austin Evans exist in 2017?. ... Comments incoming

[@GetPsyched6]

Because he can spell exist properly?

[@ManasDeep]

That opening shot itself got me! Evans...you rock!🔥🔥👌👌

[@Tomiply]

1080p at 5 inches. "Yes, it could be a bit sharper." 1080p at 5 inches is sharp as hell. What are you talking about? That's 448 PPI for crying out loud. 1440p is really not needed at that size.

[@KenLinx]

There's a difference nonetheless. And sharpness isn't always about PPI. This is an overpriced shit phone.

[@anthonyw.5375]

PPI is literally the measurement of how many pixels are in an inch so yes it does determine sharpness

[@KenLinx]

Anthony Williamson Pixel density certainly has a factor in determining sharpness, but as I've already said, THATS NOT EVERYTHING. Sharpness also derives from color variety and shade acuity. Both of which are irrelevant to PPI.

[@TexelGuy]

For VR it is definitely needed.

[@thiccdickflex4202]

Tomiply but Sony's native 4K on the XZ Premium, that looks fucking amazing

[@aaryav1]

So basically Pixel 2 is worth it but Pixel 2 XL is "GARBAGE TOWN"😝😂

[@linusmlgtips2123]

Aarya Soni most reviewers haven't minded the blue shift. Samsung's green shift is far worse to my eyes

[@Samosayummyyay]

And to make matters worse, Samsung makes worlds best display's for Smartphones, ever. If even they are not perfect, just imagine the rest. The Pixel 2 XL is using an LG OLED which actually is pretty darn good. It's just that Google for some reason decided to ditch P3-color gamut (stock on Galaxy S6/S7/S8 but also on the iPhone 7 (Plus) / iPhone 8 (plus)) and they are sticking to SRGB. Due to that, the display looks too flat for many and whenever you share an image to another person, the other person will see the image with more color due to most recent flagships using P3-color gamut. Have you ever seen how worthless the display is on the iPhone 8? It's just rubbish IF you are used to any recent AMOLED panel (Galaxy S7 Edge/S8/Note 8). It's so dim, huge brightness shift and it's not properly calibrated (too cool, this increases brightness but makes the display look too blue (~7100K which is BAD, ~6450K is the standard). Imho, Austin bashed the Pixel 2 XL for the wrong reason. He did not mention the Pixel 2 XL having twice the battery life of an iPhone 8 Plus which MKBHD DID. MBKHD mentioned the ridicilously long lasting battery but Austin did not...hmmmm

[@sandplanet471]

All pixel phones are garbage town

[@OfficialDJNoel]

Google is going to fix that screen color with a software update soon thankfully.

[@kylem.4000]

[@DreamsOfLegend]

Austin kinda overblowing the screen issue on the XL in my opinion. And unlike 99% of the haters in the comments on actually OWN the phone. So I can tell you the blue shift isn't THAT bad and you have to GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to notice it. And until Google pushes their software update giving more color options, just use Oreo Colorizer to get those rich colors back

[@adamwelsch7308]

He does make a valid point that if your paying 900 for a top tier phone then you should be getting a top tier phone if the price was like 600 dollars then I am sure Austin would overlook it

[@DreamsOfLegend]

Go look at all the Long standing trusted KZbin reviewers, they say the same thing. All the keyboard warriors who don't have the phone can have their opinions is totally fine. PS, I sold my old phone on Swappa for 230, plus got that T-Mobile $325 credit for bringing a Pixel....I think paying full price is crazy for all these phones lol

[@awesomeflippergamer]

Adam Welsch it's $850 and the phone has over 16 million colors it can register, so unless ur watching ur phone sideways it looks fine

[@farisbakr3243]

It's not that bad tbh. Google made a BAD move there though making LG (The worst manufacturers ever) actually make their larger phone. LG is crap and has WAY to many issues such as constant rebooting after one or two years. Even their display had quite a few issues.

[@harrydrake4173]

The 2XL model has a larger degree of blue shift compared to rival phones. Some 2XLs are worse than others but it's still there. That's not justifiable from a top dollar flagship phone.

[@OZAMA]

[@NRMgamingHD]

after hearing all this stuff about pixel xl screen, i changed my pre order to pixel 2 and yes you are right if you gonna pay over 800 you better get best of everything. I don't change phones every year and pixel 2 will get 3 years of official android updates not just security patches and no other android company does that not even samsung so 700 including taxes for pixel 2 is worth it for me since i will end up using it for 3 years

[@donald8568]

Not if you want a headphone jack...

[@mplovecraft]

Last year they made a really big deal about it. This year they made a big deal that they only had one back camera. Next year: Two cameras.

[@hispanicbaljeet4076]

MrWuffles i mean they should stay consistent like lg and samsung. Lg even made it better to rub salt in the wound with the v30.

[@nori633]

Just like how the iPhone 7 isn't worth it if you want a headphone jack

[@crisp9929]

I was going to before I heard about all the issues. I was gonna get the normal size one, and thought the problems were only on XL, but now there are some problems with the standard.

[@04041991nai1]

Hey Austin! This is Guys!

[@maxassasin911]

The lack of a headphone jack isn't a small thing like most phone reviewers pretend. It's consumer fraud. I've been using pixel 2 for a year and it was way past the 14 day return period when I started using it and for the first time noticed lack of a headphone jack and expandable storage. This reminded me of high school when I was jamming a $20 Huawei that used micro usb headphones except the Huawei had expandable storage. Don't get me wrong the pixel runs well, and the camera is good if you wanna count ball hairs on a raccoon 2 yards away but I realized I never really needed a pro camera as much as A HEADPHONE JACK AND A FUCKING MICRO SD CARD SLOT. Fuck apple, fuck Google. Stop buying into their bullshit excuses for selling proprietary shit at inflated prices. Apple and Google are making a bullshit excuse about better sound quality that I'd totally buy into if I hadn't done sound production and paid 100 bucks for lost adapters. The only reason to replace the 3.5mm jack would be If we miraculously lost the ability to make 3.5mm jacks. In pro music production my buddy says he and all the industry's best engineers make sure to use midrange 20 dollar consumer headphones to mix the audio to make sure it's accessible to everyone. He said this in response to some hipster hifi nerd bragging about 2000 dollar headphones. I have alot of friends who are music producers, some I even play guitar for and they all agree that hifi nerds rave about shit that just doesn't exist. Removal of the headphone jack isn't any different. Its companies selling you a fantasy and frankly insulting your intelligence. As the idiom goes, let the buyer beware and let the fanboys be buttfucked. Jimi Hendrix sounds good because he makes good music. His music sounds as good on my ergofits as the iPhone earpods as the Bose wireless. I ripped my hendrix cds and put them on an 128 GB SD card I got for 30 bucks instead of paying 300 more to upgrade apple and honestly it sounds as good as Spotify plus I don't have to rely on internet for music. How is it that my old HTC M8, fuck it my old Galaxy s2 allows me to use any or all of these options. And Why in the fuck do I have pay a 1000 bucks for less choice. You guys can tell them companies to stop ripping you off by just letting your money talk and not getting the latest phone instead of defending your expensive purchases by arguing with strangers on the internet.

[@pranitakakde3813]

[@kumarrahul1982]

Don't have to wait to see what they have to offer. Oppo's new R11s will be revealed on 2nd Nov and OP5t will be an exact replica(other than the processor) with the usual rubbish camera. And it will cost you $550 for the base variant with 64gb. Pixel 2 with 64gb costs $650.

[@YouwereWondering_TAW]

One plus 5 is still a one of the best phones out there. It even got one of the highest satisfaction rate from any phone including iphones. So i think if they go for a OP5T it will be well received. I don't see a reason not to get it assuming that it won't have any hardware issues like the pixel 2 is facing now. I make tech videos in my channel, if you have some free time please check it out i would really appreciate it.

[@holycrapimbatman1760]

Hmm let me think op5 has ripped off the design of iphone Cheated at benchmarks Stealing user info without their permission It still got a 1080p screen and it calls itself a flagship killer? Not so great speakers and an average camera. And the 5t is going to be a cousin brother of oppo and vivo phones. dont know why i should be excited about it.

[@AsadoMao]

Is any smartphone that costs more than $400 worth it?

[@Daniel-wq8lk]

Asado no

[@luisd.4411]

Depends on what you want and what you need out of it. Samsung flagships get MAX 3 major Android version updates, although that could change soon. This means that a Samsung flagship phone will be ideal to use for about five to six years (security updates continue even after Android version updates stop). Now, a shit ton of people think that the minute a version of Android is no longer the newest one it should belong in a dumpster fire, this is untrue, there are at leas a few more years left in that life cycle. No, this isn't iOS levels of updates but it is nice, plus there is the option of custom ROMs after support ends. Most $400 phones usually only see one Android version update, or sometimes none. OnePlus is good at support but Sony kills it in this department, aside from the old Google (Nexus). Nobody seems to remember OnePlus virtually abandoning the OnePlus X phone.

[@raw7504]

THE ONE PLUS 5

[@luisd.4411]

travpar0 I just got a really good offer from my carrier and decided to use that offer for a flagship device. I am a person who does not need or really want flagship level smartphone features but decided to get one and see what all the hype is about. It's alright so far, and that's what counts.

[@webby189402194134]

The later production models of the pixel 2 xl have for the most part, fixed a lot of the issues early models have had. Also, with the latest update use saturated mode on the XL 2 and then go into developer settings to enable sRGB. Doing this makes the display look wayyyyyyyy better

[@notlNSIGHT]

The problem is, if you're spending $900 on a fucking phone, you shouldn't have to do ANY of that.

[@jasonp.9148]

I feel like the original Pixel took away features that the cheaper-at-launch Nexus 6P did well such as the front-firing speakers and then added them to the Pixel 2 as "new" features so, that it will seem like an upgrade over the previous version. Don't get me wrong though, the 6P, Pixel and Pixel 2 are all great phones.

What do you mean by poor battery life. Go to channel of mr whose the boss and see battery life comparison, it thrashes of Samsung and apple, and is just 3 minutes less in life than one plus 5 that too when it was running at quad hd, and OnePlus 5 at fhd so in quad hd pixel would definatly defeat all others

Everyone puts the Pixel 2 XL in their thumbnail even when the title is about normal Pixel 2. *Because it's ugly af...*

[@VicariousxD]

I love this review. Compared to MKBHD, who considers pixel 2xl great, I feel like the display is an issue if you look at the price. Both the devices have their own compromises, and considering the fact that in my country(India), paying almost 1400$ for xl which have screen issue(blue tint, burnin, etc) or 1000$ for pixel 2(having larger ugly bezels), they aren't worth it. At the end of the day, a phone is a phone. If you are making people pay that kind of money, the hardware should be flawless. While the camera definitely is, same cannot be said about the plastic coating on the rear which scratches, the non functioning fingerprint reader once scratched, or even the screen in xl variant. While the software is great, asking such kind of money for an hardware that isn't the best compared to other flagships is a letdown. At this point, essential phone at 500$ looks like a really good deal. They simply need to lower their prices.

HEADPHONE JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[@luunars]

Apple: hey what should we do to piss off our fans?? Fan: I like the headphone jack Apple: KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! Google: what should we do to piss off our fans and other phone companies? Fans: I hate apple they took the headphone jack that’s why I switched to the pixel :) Google: KILL IT WITH FIRE!!

[@adultmoshifan87]

I’m getting sick of smartphones as a whole. I’ve been iPhoning for 9 years and while I was gonna get whichever new iPhone comes out late next year, now I’m not so sure. I could go Android, but I’d rather get my own cellphone made: a basic cellphone like what most 2000s handsets were, but still with some important smartphone features, like Whatsapp, Skype and NFC PayPal payment!

[@Slammediadotca]

This angers me!!! I can't decide between LG V30 and Pixel 2. Why can't they put the parts of each phone together and make a perfect phone! Pixel 2 exactly how it is but with manual camera settings, sd card and a headphone jack!!! I don't even care about wireless charging. I would have bought 2 of them already!!!!

Man it’s been a disastrous year for Android phone makers. Hell OnePlus finally settled on an iClone, Samsung released an S8++ with a pen and now it’s Pixel 2 issues constantly being reported. Apple sure did time the iPhone X release just right, especially for all those android users ready to finally switch… Poor Google. 😂💯

"Made by LG..." "Made by HTC..." NO! THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT! And the Pixel 2 looks like shit btw. And people blame the iPhone? Lmao it's just 50$ more expensive than this shitty crap.

I want the 2 XL, but I'm ok with the original too, the only reason why I want the XL is because my cousin will make fun of the large bezels.. he's an extreme iPhone user, criticizes every phone I get because I always get Android phones, lol. I'm hoping that the investigation that Google is doing on the pixel 2 XL helps them find a way to fix the burn in issue. I don't care what people end up commenting on this because I'm getting the Pixel 2 either way.

What's a game changer for me is, this is Google's second phone, I think they did alright, the only real issue is that tint, but that's not an issue of Google but LG Panels, (yes it should've been inspected better, they'll learn) Anything else I've heard is nit picking, plastic feel, headphone jack, wireless charging, you can't complain really when it's their second phone and they're trying to do a lot as it is. They'll get there eventually.

Just got my pixel 2 xl. At least on my model. The screen is not as bad as the press and KZbin reviewers say it is. It's better looking than my iPhone 6 Plus screen and size is just perfect. Yes there is a blue tint if you tilt it but I don't use my phone sideways anyway. This is the snappiest phone I've ever used (snappier than my iPhone 6 Plus the day it came out) and the camera is beautiful! Well done! The screen viewing angle could be better but the way it is doesn't bother me as much as I thought.

And.......then the razer phone came out and destroyed all phone speakers ever

Nice Smartphones. I bought Xiaomi Mi A1. It's better option. Rest of money i spend with my girl :-)

It’s really a shame they fucked up the display on the XL. Especially for that price you expect wayyy more - and also at least decent headphones in the box, come on..
