Google has confirmed it will hold an event on October 4th 2017 – which is exactly one year since it first unveiled the new Pixel and Pixel XL hardware.
Google has also launched a 35-second teaser trailer that cycles through a series of smartphone-themed Google searches.
What's NEW
As new camera tech and improved chipsets become available, the next generation of phones will likely be better than the last. Some specific rumors about an improved Pixel 2 speculate that the phone will be water-resistant and that the camera will be packed with more features. Google will also likely outfit it with a faster processor .
It might have Snapdragon 836
The phone could have squeezable edges
It could have a slimmer design
Recently, a rendering of the next Pixel XL made its rounds, giving us more detail about what the next pair of phones could look like. It showed the XL with a larger, 6-inch display and thinner bezels. It also looks more rectangular with sharper corners and the signature glass shade on the back is shorter, vertically.
Another rendering (this time in video form), considers different possible colors like red and teal. Blue, which is one of the original colors of the Pixel, is also included.
The Pixel 2 will launch with Android Oreo
How Much Will The Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 Cost?
The rumour mill has been fairly quiet when it comes to the final RRP of the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2.
However, one prominent rumour has pointed to a $50 increase – roughly £37 converted – for the entry-level model.
Google is tipped to increase the storage available in the entry-level model from 16GB to 32GB to make that price hike a little easier to swallow.
Still, as the latest Galaxy S, Galaxy Note and iPhone models slowly creep closer to the £1,000 mark – the Google Pixel 2 range now seems quite reasonably priced.
If the rumoured price increase is accurate, the Pixel 2 would start from $700, while its larger 5.5inch sibling would be $810.
