The new leak comes by style of Android Web log DroidLife, which seems to have gotten access to an incomplete Google Shop page for both devices (they include URLs for the Pixel 2 and ii XL that currently 404). Additionally, the renders posted by DL only show the devices from the dorsum, and they appear to be scaled upwards from smaller images. However, this is the first leak of official renders, which will almost probable be a lucifer for the final product.

The smaller Pixel is the less interesting of the 2, as information technology is expected to retain most of the pattern elements from the 2016 telephone. It volition commencement at $649 like the starting time-gen device, merely the base of operations storage is expected to exist 64GB instead of 32GB. An upgrade to 128GB will add $100 to the cost. Almost of the telephone is aluminum, with a strip of glass at the top somewhat smaller than the drinking glass panel on the starting time Pixel. The fingerprint sensor is in the metallic portion, rather than surrounded past drinking glass. Google is again using quirky names for the colors; the Pixel 2 volition exist bachelor in Kinda Blue, Just Black, and Conspicuously White. Information technology's worth noting, the white phone (if it really is white) volition be painted, as you cannot anodize aluminum white.

The Pixel 2 XL has a similar look from the dorsum, but nosotros believe it will take a larger edge-to-border display on the front end. Still, it's got the same aluminum frame with the band of glass at the top. According to DroidLife, this phone will just come up in Black & White and Only Blackness. Once more, that white telephone is probably painted white, which might not exist cracking for longevity. The Pixel two XL also seems to have an odd orange-accented ability button on the side. At that place's no telling what Google has planned there.

The Pixel 2 XL volition also start with 64GB of storage, but the toll will exist $849 according to the leak. That's $80 more than terminal year's Pixel XL, although you do become twice the storage in the base model. A 128GB upgrade adds $100 to the price.
