It's Tuesday, October 17th, and following yesterday's reveal of the new Huawei Mate 10, which followed the reveal of the Apple iPhone 10, which came after the review of the LGV 30, well, you get the idea - it's Google's turn today, and we've got a full review of the new Google Pixel 2 XL, the latest and greatest smartphone from the team in Mountain View. And it's another worthy player, I mean it really is getting hard to pick a phone these days anyway.

The Pixel 2 XL ups Google's cred in the smartphone game with a big P OLED display coming in at 28 x 80 by 1440 for a sort of odd 18 by 9 aspect ratio with some minimal bezels like its competitor, the iPhone 8. There's no headphone jack but it's packing Bluetooth 5, the latest and greatest wireless system with more range in options, so that helps it. Also, it has that fun edge squeeze feature for bringing up Google Assistant when you don't want to say "ok Google." The battery runs all day and charges via USB C, and while the now-familiar Snapdragon 835 runs the show, the Android 8 Oreo OS is the star giving the phone both snappy performance and a high level of security.

We've got a full view of the Pixel 2 XL so hit the link for all the details. More hot hardware news now, Microsoft continues to develop their Windows 10 creators update and at a recent gathering to show it off, they also unveiled this new Surface Book 2 from Redmon's top tier two and one with the funky hinge, now comes in a 15-inch size with more of everything, more horsepower, more screen size, of course, and more battery power. DT editor-in-chief Jeremy Kaplan was at the rollout and says pretty much every under-the-hood aspect of the laptop tablet hybrid is new but it looks almost identical to the previous model which is fine since we think it looked sharp. The 15-inch size is new however and it's the largest laptop Microsoft has ever produced, check out Jeremy's thorough hands-on look at the new Surface Book 2 at the link.

Apple's almost all front screen iPhone 10 may get all the press even if they didn't really get there first but while the hold no bezels thing maybe the current rage we got to hand it to Chinese phone makers ZTE for taking the smart flip phone to a whole new place. Check out the new Axon M, a not so thin smartphone with a very clever and we have to say kind of nerdy feature to 5.3 inch HD screens and they're not front and back like we've seen with some phones no this is kind of a super glorified flip phone because the screens aren't side by side on a hinge check that out, the verge where this video came from says ZTE isn't the first here either Kyocera made a similar but unsuccessful phone six years ago but hey maybe the time is now for a phone book as it were and six years ago is an eternity in tech so maybe ZTE is onto something here. The Axon M is indeed coming to the US through AT&T, so if one screen was never enough for you good news it should be here by the end of the year sorry no price info just yet and hey that'll do it for GT daily today.
