google pixel 1 XL or google pixel 2

This could help you. https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/19/16502636/google-pixel-vs-pixel-2-changes-design-camera

But, I used the Pixel 2 XL for years, and just changed to a new phone. I loved the phone. The only thing people complained about was the Pixel 2 XL's had a god-awful screen but I didn't have a probably with it personally. Pixel 1 I never used, but I heard it was a good phone. Sort of old at this point though..

 

depends on what you find important... bang for your buck, pixel 2. price is low so good enough, pixel 1
