Search-giant Google, earlier this year, confirmed that the company had officially begun work on its Android-based, high-end flagship smartphones and successors to last year’s Pixel devices — Pixel 2 and Pixel Xl 2 smartphones. Even though the company did not provide any productive details regarding the upcoming smartphone’s specifications — thanks to the numerous rumors and speculations, the fans at least have an idea of what can tentatively be expected from Google’s upcoming smartphones. Following given is a complete compilation of all the rumors regarding the features that are expected to power the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 smartphones.
Design of the smartphone
Design: Google is not expected to bring about a major design overhaul with its upcoming Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 smartphones except for the fact that the device’s display will be bezel-less. By this, it is safe to assume that Google will be following Samsung’s footsteps as even the former did the same with its recently-launched Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus smartphones. Apart from this, the upcoming Pixel smartphones are even expected to pack a larger screen this time. The upcoming smartphones will probably feature either a 5-inch or 6-inch display coupled with an OLED display technology. This is further going to be accompanied with a screen resolution of 1,312 x 2,560 pixels and an aspect ratio of 17: 5: 9.
Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835
Software: Google, like most of its other rivals, is expected to pack up its upcoming Pixel smartphones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip. This will put the device in direct competition with other flagship smartphones in the market including Samsung and Nokia along with their Galaxy S8, Note 8 and 9 smartphones respectively.
Furthermore, the smartphone is expected to be powered by Adreno 540 for graphics. On the storage front, the smartphone is expected to offer 4GB of RAM along with 128GB of internal storage. It goes without saying that none of the above-given information has been confirmed by the company as yet. Therefore, it remains to be seen what exactly will take place.
Meanwhile, readers are advised to take the information with a grain of salt.
Camera: Google is expected to pack up its upcoming smartphones with a 12MP rear sensor along with a 7MP front-snapper. Apart from this, the device will come running on the latest Android O software. Price: As for the price, the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 smartphones will probably cost around $649.
