Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. New phones from Google - what are they?

As well as two new columns, laptop, wireless headphones and action camera

Google Corporation on October 4 introduced two new phone models - Pixel 2 standard size and Pixel 2 XL larger. Despite the fact that Android phones are produced by many companies (and Samsung is more successful here), special attention is borne by the new products from Google: can the technological giant will adequately respond to new iPhones? Medusa talks about the main features of Pixel 2.
