The positives in the first generation Pixel smartphones are- great camera, excellent build quality, buttery smooth performance, and decent battery life. The negatives in the Pixel and Pixel XL are sub-par design, lack of wireless charging, not water and dust resistant smartphone, etc.

Now that it’s almost confirmed that Google is working on the second generation Pixel phones and some of the features are already rumoured, here’re the top five features which we would love to see in the second generation Pixel phones.

18:9 Display

The trend in 2017 flagship smartphones is the wide display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ boast of Infinity display, and the LG G6 has Full Vision Display. A recent GFXBench listing of Google Pixel XL 2 suggests that Google will use the 18:9 wide display.

Also, the upcoming flagship phones- the Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30 will use the same wide-display technology. So, Google Pixel 2 must feature a wide display. Furthermore, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL have the ugly looking bezels on the top and bottom.

Water and Dust Resistant Properties

The major feature which lacked in the first generation Pixel phones was the IP68 certification. Last year’s flagship phones- the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge came with IP68 certification, which means you can take the device into the water for 30 minutes. But the Google Pixel lacked this essential feature. The Google Pixel 2 should come with IP68 certification.
