I'm a long-time iPhone user who got to try Google's newest Pixel phone — here's what I thought (GOOG, GOOGL, AAPL)

On Wednesday morning, we got our first look at the Google Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL — Google's latest and greatest flagship Android phones, designed in-house by the search giant's growing hardware team. 

Speaking personally, I've been rocking an iPhone regularly since 2011, so I jumped at the chance to try the Google Pixel 2 in person.

Google bills the Pixel as the top-of-the-line phone that shows the true potential of Android. And I was eager to see how it stacked up for myself.

And try it I did. I got the chance to go briefly hands-on with the Google Pixel 2 following the big reveal. And while it's hard to tell in a quick demo, I came away impressed.

Here's the deal with the Google Pixel 2:

Here's the flagship Google Pixel 2, which will sell starting at $649. It's got a really, really, really nice 5-inch AMOLED screen that puts my iPhone 6s to shame. And while I didn't get the chance to really test it, Google says the Pixel 2 camera is better than the iPhone's or any other smartphone camera.

Right off the bat, you should know that no version of the Pixel 2 has a headphone jack. In that way, at least, it's exactly like Apple's newest iPhones.

It does, however, fit nicely in the hand.
