Google's upcoming smartphone is expected to deal with significant design challenges, which includes less glass as well as vibrant colors. LG along with HTC is said to be involved in the manufacturing process of Google's next flagship device.

After fuller display’s implementation, Google Pixel 2 XL Android smartphone is expected to have a fully functional display along with curved edges. As the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphones have set a new standard for the next-gen handsets, the search engine giant might implement a full HD display with curved edges to its upcoming smartphone. Google is reportedly seeking the help of HTC or LG for this particular feature.

Nonetheless, the search engine titan has decided to keep the specs and features of the upcoming device below the radar. But, several Google fanatics along with the Concept Creator YouTube channel have predicted the upcoming flagship’s design concept.

A powerful 8MP front snapper is also anticipated. Meanwhile, the large variant will be available in at least three different colors - blue, silver and red.
