We know the overall specs don't matter to everyone, but it is a big deal for some. Here's how the two compare by the numbers.
Google Pixel 2 XL Specs
- 6-inch 2880 x 1440 Quad-HD OLED Display
- Snapdragon 835 Processor with 4GB of RAM
- 64/128GB storage options, no micro-SD slot
- Android Oreo
- 12.2 Megapixel Rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS
- 8MP front-facing camera
- Dual Front-Facing Stereo Speakers
- 3,520 mAh battery with Quick Charging
- IP67 Dust & Water-Resistance
- Google Assistant, Google Lens, more
- USB Type-C port, fingerprint scanner on back
- No 3.5mm headphone jack, no wireless charging
Sounds pretty good, right? It comes with a big battery, plenty of power, the latest version of Android and water-resistance. The V30 has most of that too. LG V30 Specs
- 6-inch 2880 x 1440 Quad-HD OLED Display
- Snapdragon 835 Processor with 4GB of RAM
- 64 GB of storage and microSD expansion
- Android 7.1.2 Nougat
- 16 Megapixel f/1.6 rear camera, 13MP secondary wide-angle camera
- 5MP front-facing camera
- Single bottom-firing speaker
- 3,300 mAh battery with Quick Charging
- IP68 Dust & Water-Resistance
- Google Assistant, Quad-DAC, 3.5mm headphone jack and more
- USB Type-C port, fingerprint scanner on back
- Wireless Charging capable
As you can see there are a few differences, even if the first half of each list is the same. The LG V30 has expandable storage, two cameras, wireless charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a dedicated DAC for improved audio. On the flipside, the LG V30 has a smaller battery and runs an older version of Android.
Take note of the water-resistance levels. The Pixel 2 XL is IP67 and rated for 3 ft of water for 20-30 minutes. The V30 is IP68 and can go under 5 ft of water for over 30 minutes. So it's ahead there if you're accident prone. The Pixel will get better battery life, runs the latest version of Android, and gets a lot of unique features directly from Google. It's a hard choice, we know.
