Pixel phone by Google

Latest Pixel leaks give comprehensive look at the ‘phone by Google’

The published pages from Carphone Warehouse came with full specs, including familiar details (5-inch and 5.5-inch displays on the Pixel and Pixel XL respectively, Snapdragon 821 processors, and 4GB of RAM) as well as some that might just be placeholders (such as a microSD slot). Other listed specs include the choice of 32GB or 128GB of internal storage, a 2770mAh battery for the Pixel and a 3450mAh battery for the Pixel XL, and screen resolutions of 1080 x 1920 for the smaller device, and 1440 x 2560 for the larger.

THE TWO PHONES ARE IDENTICAL IN EVERYTHING BUT SIZE

As we've seen before, the phones are identical in looks. There's an offset camera on the front of the case, what looks like a circular fingerprint scanner on the rear, an antenna line on the bottom, and a split material design on the rear — with a shinier surface on the top third of the phone, and a matte finish on the bottom. We can see a USB Type-C port on the bottom, and a cut-out in the case suggests there's a headphone jack on the top of the devices. Previous rumors have said the handsets will be manufactured by HTC.

Pulled slides from Carphone Warehouse also showcased a number of Google software features, including free photo storage on Google Photos, and the Duo video chat app and Allo messaging app (complete with built-in Google Assistant). Also mentioned is a quick charge feature (15 minutes of charging for seven hours' battery life) and the return of Live Cases — customized phone cases that were introduced earlier this year for the Nexus 6, 5X, and 6P for $35 a pop. Let's just hope there are at least some new information left for Google to announce tomorrow.
