What to Look Forward to with Google Pixel 2

Around this time last year, Google Pixel handsets dropped on the market. As we reach the middle of 2017, rumors of the next model of the Google Pixel are spreading with great promise. Following Google Pixel’s release late last year, a brand new phone is in the works for fall of 2017. The coveted Google Pixel 2 is speculated to make its debut around October, but very few details have been confirmed, so this Android fan base has had to work off rumors for quite some time. The process is suspenseful, to say the least!

The company might even be hinting at three new Pixel releases, one of which might be a tablet. The use of three elusive code names and a litany of secretive language suggests that several future releases might occur. They’re also expected to include a very powerful processor, the same one included in the recent release of the Samsung Galaxy S8. With the release of the Samsung S8 and the new Pixel devices, it looks like 2017 will be the year that the smartphone got even smarter.

Google Pixel 2 Features

The original Google Pixel model already boasts state-of-the-art front cameras; Google Pixel 2 and its capabilities are promising to exceed their predecessor. Android O and 6GB of RAM space are also prospective features for this new phone, as well as Snapdragon 835 and edge-to-edge display. There are even whisperings of a Pixel2 XL style in future designs, but no confirmation can be provided for any of these yet.

Possible Pros and Cons of the Pixel 2

A few pros and cons of the Pixel 2 have been suggested while the public waits. The new Pixel is set to be waterproof with upgraded display services, which is always a worthy improvement. Google Pixel devices are also known for their incredible cameras — another pro if you take a lot of photos on your smartphone. However, no headphone jack is expected be featured on the Pixel 2, which has always been a big selling point for many past Google products. Although, a curved design is possible, and battery life will also be improved from the previous version.

With a potential lower price, improved imaging quality, a powerful processor, and an overall better experience, the Google Pixel 2 is a highly anticipated release for the end of this year. Be on the lookout for VR hookups that are compatible with Pixel’s features to enjoy every possibility of accessorizing and entertainment that the mobile device can offer.
