Got your heart set on a Google handset but can’t justify spending cash on a brand-new model? We’ve got you covered. Try our refurbished Google Pixel 2 XL out for size.

Why plump for the XL rather than a refurbished Google Pixel 2? Well, the most obvious difference is the screen. Opt for the XL model, and you’ll get a 6-inch, P-OLED display set in an 18:9 aspect ratio, pumping out colour-rich pixels at 538 ppi. This higher 2K resolution spans the entire RGB spectrum for more accurate colour reproduction than AMOLED displays. What’s more, the XL’s 76.4 per cent screen-to-body ratio means you can see more when watching multimedia or gaming. That’s helped by the slim bezels, too, which are far thinner than on the standard Pixel 2.

The Pixel 2 XL also has a stonkingly good camera. The 12.2MP rear lens boasts a healthy f/1.8 aperture, improving over last year’s model with deeper blacks and more precise colours. On the front, you’ll find an 8MP selfie cam set to f/2.4 and perfect for video calling. But there’s more. Google has packed all manner of magic tricks into these killer snappers, including a portrait mode that creates a bokeh filter for the field of depth in photos. Our refurbished Pixel 2 XL handsets also have lightning-fast autofocus and a feature called ‘Motion,’ that records a second of footage surrounding each image — perfect if you miss a moment by a millisecond.

Both the XL and standard Pixel 2 feature a Snapdragon 835 chipset under the hood. It’s the same processor found in Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 and many other top-notch Android phones, so you know you’re in good hands. You’ll also get 4GB of RAM to go along with that chipset, resulting in no-lag gaming, multi-tab browsing, and general playing around. All that phone means the XL has more space for a bigger battery than its younger brother, giving you more time to enjoy the above.

Did we mention the refurbished Google Pixel 2 XL is water and dust-resistant?
