       Along with this specification google has promise to give monthly security updates & latest Android updates till 3 years. There is no memory card slot available in this device this is one of major cons of this devices for some users. This devices has dual pixel technology that means it can take awesome portrait mode images with single camera you can also adust bookeh effect level in pixel devices.

   By looking at the specification this device is an flagship grade device , the price of this devices is very high, but when we comparing the device cost with US pricing which is 649$/749$ for pixel 2 & 849$/949$ for pixel 2 XL there is 20,000-25,000 Rs approximately. As compare to US indian price is very high at the price of 70,000 you get other options like samsung note 8, samsung s8/s8+ which is also the best smartphones at this price. Since this is an flagship device with high cost it do not have any dual camera setup.
   I do not recommend this device that much because of high price of this devices. If the price of this device are in the range of 50,000-60,000Rs then there will be a tough competition in flagship market. If you want monthly security update & latest Android updates & also stock Android experience then you can go with this device or else there are many option available at lower price. You can pre-order from 26th October via flipcart.
