In the coming months, possibly in October or late September, Google will launch new Pixel phones. Dubbed Pixel XL 2 and the Pixel 2 -- or they will be simply called Pixel and Pixel XL (2017) -- the new Google phones seem to be a evolutionary phones instead of revolutionary. The latest leaks about the new Pixel phones, which are codenamed Walleye (the smaller one) and Taimen (the bigger open), suggest that the phones will have a design that is similar to the current Pixel phones. The two devices also come with single camera on the rear -- similar to what the current Pixel phones have -- and stereo speakers, which is going to be a new feature for the Google phones.
The latest leaks come courtesy an article by Evan Blass, popularly known as @evleaks on Twitter, on VentureBeat website. Blass also posted the photo of the Walleye aka the Pixel 2 on the website, although the resolution of the image is not that good. The image, however, has been used by a Reddit users to create a better-resolution render that shows more details of the phone. Unlike Samsung, which has phones like the Galaxy S8 with curved screens, and Apple that is supposedly aiming to make big design changes in the iPhone 8, Google is sticking with a fairly regular design for the Pixel 2 and the Pixel XL2.
The big change in terms of design in the Pixel (2017) phones seem to be the ratio of glass cover compared to the metal part. This glass cover is significantly thinner compared to how it was in the Pixel and Pixel XL released in 2016. Also the fingerprint scanner now moves to the metal part of the rear cover.
