In the previous month, rumors started swirling that
the Google Pixel 2 would be arriving with an enhanced camera that will bring
improvements like dim light photography along with some new features. The
report also revealed that it would be coming with an improved processor, which
is pretty much expected from a successor phone.
The report also claimed that Google will be
targeting emerging markets by releasing Google Pixel 2B smartphone. It would be
carrying significantly cheaper pricing than the Pixel 2 to bring Google
experience to the developing markets.
Since the
Google Pixel and Pixel XL were announced in October 2016, it is likely that the
Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will be launched in October this year.
Since flagship phones of 2017 are expected to mainly
feature Snapdragon 835 chipset, it is likely that the rumored Pixel 2 and Pixel
XL 2 would come with the same chipset. Since they are pegged to release in the
last quarter of 2016, it may feature an upgraded version of SD 835.
Even though Google Pixel and Pixel XL are
manufactured by HTC, these smartphones are tagged as “Made by Google” and they
do not carry HTC logos. This year too, the search engine giant is expected to
build Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 in collaboration with a popular smartphone maker.
As of this writing, there is no news on which company Google will partner with for
its upcoming phones.
