In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“swap out the camera for the Pixel 2's”
“abnormally high exposure, which makes it lose some points versus a phone like the Google Pixel 2”
“The Google Pixel 2 from last year still has what many would say is the best selfie camera”
“the front-facing portrait mode isn't even close to Google's pixel”
