Here's everything we know about Google's upcoming 'Pixel' smartphones
Tomorrow, on Tuesday, we finally find out what's going on with Google's new "Pixel" line of smartphones.
Innumerable rumors have emerged in the last few month. And recently Android Police caughta leaked listing of Google's upcoming smartphones on a British tech retailer's website, giving us a good idea of what to expect.
Check out everything we know about Google's upcoming smartphones.
Google will ditch the 'Nexus' name and go with something different.
British tech retailer Carphone Warehouse reportedly leaked Google's new smartphones with the rumored "Pixel" name.
There will be two models with different screen sizes.
The same listing from Carphone Warehouse also shows there will be two models with different screen sizes.
The regular model with the smaller screen will simply be called "Pixel," and the larger-screened model will be called the "Pixel XL."
The larger model could have a super-sharp screen.
Benchmark results obtained by gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer suggest the larger Pixel XL will have a super-sharp 2K screen, and the smaller Pixel smartphone will supposedly have a regular 1080p screen.
The latest Carphone Warehouse leak listing backs up this claim.
HTC and Huawei might be making them.
Google commissioned LG and Huawei to make the Nexus 5X and 6P, and it seems like it might keep Huawei to help build the company's next tablet, which will also be unveiled on Tuesday, while HTC is said to manufacture both of the Pixel smartphones.
At least one of the new "Pixel" phones will be made of metal and glass.
Android Authority believes the smaller Pixel model will be made of aluminum and glass.
They will be powerful.
Most rumors claim the new Pixel smartphones will run on the Snapdragon 820 processor, which is no slouch.
However, others are saying they'll run on Qualcomm's recently-announced the Snapdragon 821 processors, which are upgraded versions of the 820.
Expect 12 megapixels in the rear camera, and 8 megapixels on the front.
According to the leaked Carphone Warehouse listing, the new Pixel smartphones will have a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 8-megapixel front-facing cameras.
They'll have headphone jacks.
While Apple ditched the headphone jack in the name of "courage," Google is apparently sticking with the good ol' headphone jack for its upcoming Pixel smartphones.
They'll use USB-C.
The Carphone Warehouse listing promoted that the Pixel phones will feature USB-C for faster charging rather than microUSB.
They'll run the latest version of Android.
You don't need a rumor to believe that Google will include the latest version of its own operating system, called Android 7.0 Nougat, in its own smartphones.
Google's new apps and services
The promotional material in the Carphone Warehouse leaks shows that Google's AI "Assistant," Allo, and the new Duo videochat app will both feature in the Pixel phones.
Apart from the new services, you'll also be using Google Photos for unlimited photo storage at their full size and resolution.
It'll be announced on October 4 and released October 20.
We expect Google to announce the new Pixel smartphones on October 4 and release them on October 20.
