There’s a certain feel from metal that can’t quite be replicated, even with textured glass. It’s strange to think that the aluminum chassis with a plastic coating of the Pixel 2 XL would essentially return on the Pixel 5. I do hope that Google continues to add these playful little touches into future Pixel hardware, as it’s a neat little differentiator that holds up over time. I’m not sure why, but the orange power button adds an endearing quality that even the Pixel 4 in its own black and white variant hasn’t quite captured in the same way. There really are not other Android smartphones that look like the black and white Google Pixel 2 XL, and I can instantly see why people have found it so endearing. It’s a standout, a real winner for Google in terms of device awareness. The most striking of the entire Pixel series to date has to be the Pixel 2 XL in “Panda” colorway. But how has this handsome handset held up? I have not lived with the device pre-2021, meaning my perspective is completely fresh. I’ll also confirm ahead of this deep dive that the past few weeks are the first of any note that I have personally spent with the Pixel 2 XL, so I’m coming from an outsider position. The recently released Google Pixel 5 pulls the Pixel 2 series back into focus as there are some hardware similarities and throwbacks to what the cult favorite Pixel series smartphone is. It took a number of the core features introduced a year earlier and iterated, refined, and polished to a gold standard smartphone experience. While the original Google Pixel proved to be a huge entrance for the new series, the follow-up helped cement the wider device series as a candidate for the “best Android smartphone” of 2017. But what kind of mark has it left on the Android space?

As of December 2020, the Pixel 2 series is no longer officially supported by Google, which rounds off three full years of software support for the former flagship smartphone.
