Folks at Android Police have leaked an image of Google Taimen- the bigger one in the Pixel 2 lineup. At the moment, it’s unclear whether this device would be called as Pixel XL 2 or will Google call it differently. Nevertheless, we’ll call it as Pixel XL 2 itself for now because smartphone vendors finalise a device name just before the release.

So, let’s take a look at what the image shows. The Google Taimen will have a 6-inch 18:9 display, as pointed out by the previous rumour and it will be built by LG, which was tipped earlier as well. To recall, a report surfaced online revealed that HTC will manufacture one smartphone in the Pixel 2 series, while the other one would be developed by South Korean giant LG.

It was also said that the Pixel 2 series would have the same glass and metal construction at the back, but the fingerprint scanner will now come out of glass body. And this image shows the same. But the rear camera module is much larger than what we have expected, and it’s a single camera setup. Sadly, Google is not yet looking at the dual camera smartphone.
