Say hello to the new Pixel 2 on Verizon, Google's exclusive wireless partner

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Meet the new Pixel 2, available for preorder today from Verizon, the exclusive wireless partner for Google's innovative smartphone family. Powered by the Google Assistant, Pixel 2 can help you find answers and get things done. It has a camera that makes it simple to take, store and effortlessly share your beautiful pictures and a fast-charging, long-lasting battery that keeps going whether you're snapping, calling, texting or playing.

The Pixel 2 comes in two flavors from Verizon, the exclusive wireless partner. The 5" Pixel 2 and 6" Pixel 2 XL, both available in 64 GB and 128 GB sizes, and are designed to work perfectly with the collection of Google smart products, including the new Google Home Mini, Google Home Max, new Google Daydream View, Google Clips and Google Pixel Buds. What's more, get up to $300 off the Pixel 2 when you buy it on Verizon device payment and trade in select phones*, plus get a Google Home Mini on us^**.

Google Assistant, Google Lens and Verizon – better together.

Pixel 2 lets you access your personal helper faster than ever. Activate your Google Assistant by using simple voice commands, long-pressing the home button, or by squeezing the sides of the phone to engage the new Active Edge feature. And now with Google Lens^***, you can find out more about the world around you through Google Photos on your Pixel. For example, you can copy URLs off event posters or tickets, learn more about well-known locations, such as landmarks and save info to your calendar or contacts. Google will continue to add more functionality to Lens over time.

"To get the most out of your Pixel 2, you need a great network that you can count on," said Brian Higgins, vice president of product marketing for Verizon. "Because of our relationship with Google where we're the official wireless partner, our customers can pre-order Pixel 2 before anyone else in the U.S. through the My Verizon app."

The only camera you'll ever need.

Google Pixel's camera is regarded as one of the best in the industry, and the Pixel 2 is raising the bar. Easily take bright, vibrant shots, even in low light – and with the new Portrait photos, you can capture tack-sharp portraits with the kind of beautiful background blur that's usually reserved for DSLRs. You also get unlimited photo and video storage^**** that safely moves your images and videos to Google Photos in their original quality – including your 4K videos – so you won't have to delete one memory to make room for another.

Complete peace of mind.

Pixel 2's fast-charging battery makes it easier to keep your phone powered up and ready for the day ahead, and the new IP67 water-resistant^***** design allows for worry-free use in any weather. And don't forget about easy switching – which lets you move from one phone to another in 10 minutes or less^******.
