Google will bring a new saturated colour mode to the Pixel 2 XL via a software update. Also, Google has doubled warranty for all Pixel 2/2 XL owners.

Last year, the first-generation Google Pixel and the Pixel XL used AMOLED displays from Samsung. At that time, Google targeted a NTSC colour gamut and Android had no colour management, so all colours looked saturated by default. although the company did provide a sRGB mode in the Developer Options. With this year's second-generation Pixel 2 phones, Google has chosen different OLED panels for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. While the Pixel 2 uses a Full HD Samsung AMOLED display which is very similar to that of the 2016 Pixel, the Pixel 2 XL uses LG's new WQHD+ (2880x1440) 18:9 aspect ratio P-OLED display.
