The Google Pixel 2 should mount the Snapdragon 835 chipset supported by 4GB of RAM. The dual rear camera will not be present
Although they have never been launched in Italy, despite Google’s promise to launch them by January 2017, the Pixels have been among the best smartphones released in 2016, excellent performance combined with the best rear camera available on the market.
After the success achieved in the United States, Google is ready to launch the new Pixel 2. Also this time the models launched will be two: same technical features with only the screen size to differentiate them. As already anticipated in previous months, the code name of the two devices will be Taimen and Walleye and will be presented in all probability by the end of November. From the latest rumors coming from the United States seem confirmed both the technical characteristics and the company that will produce Taimen, the larger of the two Google Pixel, or LG.
Technical characteristics Google Pixel 2
The only feature that will differentiate the two smartphones will be the screen. Taimen will mount a 5.99-inch QHD resolution screen, while the display of the Walleye device will presumably be 5.5 inches. According to the latest rumors, moreover, the two devices will not have a borderless design (without bezels) and a dual rear camera. Although on the display the doubts are many: the devices will be produced by LG that showed on the LG G6 a design with a very thin bezel that will probably also be present on the Google Pixel 2. As for the hardware components, the two smartphones will mount the Snapdragon 835 chipset supported by 4GB of RAM and 64GB and 128GB of internal memory.
The name Nexus
The devices should not present the 3.5mm audio jack to make room for a dual stereo speaker. While as for the fingerprint reader, the Nexus brand is back in vogue: the biometric sensor software should be called Nexus Imprint. We do not know the reasons why Google has decided to call in this way the new fingerprint sensor, but in the coming months we will certainly know more.
