However, you do get online storage via Google Photos (at least until 2021) of all photos taken on the Pixel 2, so you should be fine for most situations! You can also use the Google Play app to see apps that you haven’t used in a while, which should help you in freeing up some space.

(You could also just choose to get a different phone that does have a Micro SD card slot, including Samsung’s popular Galaxy S8 and Note 8, HTC’s U11 or LG’s G6 or V30). Instead, you’ll have to make do with the built-in 64GB or 128GB of storage, or temporarily augment it using a USB-C drive. From the left edge of the device (display facing up), remove the card tray then do one of the following: Insert SIM card. (We don’t necessarily agree with either point, particularly with the rise of fast and high-capacity UHS Speed Class 3 cards, but there you go.) Google started this policy with their line of Nexus phones, where they stated that Micro SD cards compromise performance and make things confusing for the user. The Pixel 2 does include a new eSIM and a traditional nano SIM, but it doesn’t include any kind of removable storage like Micro SD.

Longer answer: No, the Pixel 2 does not have a Micro SD slot.
