Google is ready to release the new pixel smartphones and people all over the globe are wondering what The Mountain View company will give us this yea. Everyone has really high hopes as the Nexus 6P set the bar pretty high.
There have been plenty of rumors going around about the new pixel phones. Perhaps the most important rumor of them all was that Google will be re-branding the Nexus band with a new name . Although at first people did not believe this, several other reports then came out which supported this rumor, Thus solidifying the fact that Google is in fact going to be ending the Nexus program.
According to the rumors , there will be two vanilla android devices released codenamed "Sailfish" and "Marlin". The bigger of the bunch being the Marlin with a 5.5 inch QHD screen. The smaller pixel is said to have a FHD 5 inch screen.
As is the custom with Google, It will not build the devices itself but give this task to another OEM, and this year it will most likely be HTC. However another report stated that Huawei will also be creating a Google smartphone for 2016, so its still unclear which smartphone will be made by HTC and which will be made by Huawei.
The folks over at Android Authority report that the smaller pixel will feature a chasis of aluminium and glass. Both models will probably have a glass back , with an extra metal frame protecting the pixel XL.
Both the Pixel and the Pixel XL are allegedly packing the Snapdragon 820 processor, which is already deployed in a number of flagship smartphones. However some other sources state that the pixel phones may come equipped with the newer Snapdragon 821. Therefore nothing is confirmed until Google actually releases the pixel phones.
In terms of the cameras, the new pixel phones will come with a 12MP rear facing camera and an 8MP front facing camera. Both the models will also have 4GB of RAM and 32GB of base storage. The Pixel Xl is also said to carry a heavy 3,450 mAh battery. Andto those of you who are worried that Google will follow in Apple's footsteps, you can stop worrying as Google will most definitely include the 3.5mm headphone jack in their smartphones.
There will be no more micro USB as Google adopted the new USB-C ports for charging and data transfer. This is nothing new as Google has this in last year's Nexus devices As well. In terms of software , The Pixel phones are said to come with Android Nougat 7.1, which is essentially a newer version from the one that was released a while back.
All in all, the Pixel phones seem to be packing some solid hardware perfect for 2016. The phones are said to be released on October 4th and will be in the markets for purchase as early as October 20th .
