Drum roll please… Google is unveiling its new smartphone on Wednesday with a number of latest features.Google Pixel 2 is an advanced version of Google’s last model that is Google pixel, coming at the same price. Google pixel 2 is not the only phone that the tech giant plans to release. Google pixel 2 XL is also going to be released tomorrow along with talk of other google tech.
The Google Pixel 2 is said to come with the new operating system “Oreo”. We can expect to see some HTC smartphone-like features on this new model as Google bought a large part of HTC’s smartphone division. While the pixel 2 is made with HTC like features, the pixel 2 XL is said to be made by LG. This is in contrast with Google’s first smartphone that was made in-house.
Google Pixel 2 is rumored to have a Google Home start speaker, a new premium chromebook and a daydream VR headset.
While the launch date of the Google Pixel 2 phone is on October 4th, there is no news as to the date of the actual sale of the phone. In all probability it may come as no surprise if the phone was available for sale at the same time as its predecessor last year.
The rumor police say that the phone will have a screen size of 5 inches while the 2 XL will have a slightly larger 6 inch screen. Pixel 2 is said to have many of the features of its predecessor in that it has a rear end finger scanner and single lens camera. Pixel 2 will have slightly thinner edges than that of the previous pixel and a slightly rounded screen.
Google Pixel 2‘s camera sits at the center of the rear of the phone, Google Pixel 2 XL has its camera slightly off center.
The phones are said to come in basic colors of black and white, while Google Pixel 2 comes in an added shade of blue.
Google Pixel 2 has done away with the headphone jack, which leaves the user with the option of using wireless headphones or to connect their headphones to the USB-C port.
Pixel 2 will be sold at $649, the same price as that of the current version with the added advantage of it having a 64GB internal storage as compared to the 32 GB internal storage of the previous model.
Google Pixel 2 is going to be unveiled with the latest Oreo operating system. What this means is that it will have a longer battery life, by limiting the running of power hungry background apps, and it will also start up alot faster.
The latest version of the phone will run on a 835 snapdragon chip with increased storage at 64GB. Pixel 2 will also come in a 128GB model. It is rumored that the voice control will be updated in this new model. The phone is also expected to come with squeezable sides which translates to the ability of the user to take a selfie by squeezing the sides of the phone.
