Google Pixel 2 to Feature Snapdragon 835, 4GB of RAM, and Could Come in Three Variants: What to Expect

Google’s dream to build a smartphone inside and out was successful with last year’s Pixel phones. Although Taiwanese giant HTC manufactured the phones, it was Google which played the major part in building the phones, and they were also branded as ‘Phone by Google.’

No one expected that the Pixel phone from Google would beat the Samsung’s Galaxy S7 last year. However, it turned out to be a good outing for Google as the Pixel XL was rated the best Android smartphone of 2016. Google already confirmed that it would be launching the successor for its first generation Pixel phones and that they will stay premium.

In the last few weeks, leaks about the upcoming Pixel 2 started pouring online, which allegedly tipped some of the key specifications. Google, for 2017, seems to be working on three Pixel phones.

Firstly, three Pixel phones with codenames Walleye, Muskie, and Taimen were spotted on Android AOSP code. And after a few days from their first appearance, a new AOSP code suggested that one of the employees from Google was using the Walleye phone in real life.

This means Google has already made the first batch of phones and some of its employees should already have started using them for testing. However, this doesn’t seem plausible since there were no leaks about the design of these phones.

Now, let’s try to differentiate the three rumoured Pixel phones. The Walleye could be the smaller, Pixel 2 phone replacing the first generation Pixel, whereas the Muskie could replace the Pixel XL. And finally, there’s Pixel Taimen which is speculated to feature a massive 6-inch screen.

So, Google is looking to cover out all the essential screen sizes. The Google Taimen could also get the Infinity Display feature, which may not be a part of other phones because of the smaller screen sizes. We are, however, speculating here, so take it with a grain of salt.
