10 Cool Things the Pixel 2 Can Do

Picture-in-Picture Mode

While there's plenty to love about the Pixel 2, and Android 8.0 Oreo, one of the things I use the most is Picture-in-Picture mode. Being able to minimize a YouTube video to reply to an email is wonderful. 

Or, being able to hit home and minimize Google Maps navigation to a smaller square on the corner of my screen, while I reply to a text message yet still get turn-by-turn navigation information. It's awesome. 

With Android 8.0 Google added Picture-in-picture mode. Similar to the old PIP option on TV's a few years ago. Only this works anywhere in Android, as long as an app supports it, rather than just for video. Our hands-on look above gives you a small idea of what to expect, and more apps are getting added each day. Either way, try PIP on your Pixel 2, you'll be glad you did.
