    Google’s Pixel and Google Pixel XL were runaway hits, and the company is now gearing up to update its lineup with the second-generation Pixel 2. This is positive news for premium smartphone enthusiasts, since the Pixel sits right at the top, competing with other flagships.

    The Pixel was heavily advertised as the Best Rated Camera Smartphone. So it’s obvious that the camera will attempt to draw buyers again, along with of course the fastest updates any smartphone manufacturer can push.

    Let us look at the things which are rumoured about this phone.

    Rumours

    Release date and expected price

    This phone is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of this year (likely October). Expected pricing is about $699

    Eye-catching look and plenty of colours

    Google’s Nexus lineup was designed by different manufacturers – so they looked different and unique with each iteration. This may continue with the Pixel 2, but some basics are expected. The screen is expected to be 5.0 inches and the resolution is likely to be 1440 x 2560 pixels. The interesting thing is that it would be available in vibrant colors again – black, silver, blue.

    No headphone jack

    There is a presumption that the 3.5mm headphone jack in the Pixel 2 would be removed for the successor of a pixel. This rumour has picked up steam after Apple’s courageous move. It is also being reported that Google might also launch something similar to Apple’s Air Pods.

    Faster processor

    The Pixel 2 should ship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, which is engineered to deliver much more impressive processing power, with lifelike support for AR and VR experiences. And of course, great download speeds as well.

    Better battery life

    Obviously, there’s going to be an attempt to improve battery life compared to the first generation Pixel. Despite having a 2770mAh battery, the original Pixel lasted an impressive 16hrs 23mins in rigorous battery tests on medium usage. Beating that would be great. The battery itself is likely to be non removable.

    Water resistance

    The first generation Pixel was not submersible or water-resistant (not rated IP68). It would be no shock to see if this rating is achieved by the Pixel 2. Moreover, all its competitors have already launched water resistant devices, so this is very much expected.

    Expected Specifications

    Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Processor with Adreno 540 GPU

    RAM: 6 GB internal memory

    Operating System:  Android 7.1 (Nougat updates or Android 8(Oreo))

    Camera: 13MP Primary Camera, 8 MP Front Camera

    Battery:  Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery

    Storage: 64GB/128GB/256GB(RUMOURED)

    Sensors: Finger print sensor, Accelerometer, Proximity Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor

    USB Port: Type-C

    Display: AMOLED display type (Curved S-AMOLED)

    Yet to be confirmed

    • Single sim slot
    • No external storage
