As Google will host an event on October 4, the tech company is slated to reveal the new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. The tech monster is also likely going to showcase its Google Home and Daydream VR viewer products during the event.
This means that the tech company will let go of the Nexus brand of smartphones that are manufactured by HTC in favor of the Pixel title. It has been claimed that Google is referring to the Pixel and Pixel XL as the codenames for Sailfish and Marlin, respectively, according to Forbes.
Both Pixel and Pixel XL are pre-loaded with Android 7.1 out of the box, and the smartphones are going to have the same cameras on the front and the back. The Pixel smartphone will be packed with the Sony IMX179 8 megapixel sensor on the front and the Sony IMX378 12MP sensor on the back.
It has been said that the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P also used the Sony IMX179.
The 32 gigabyte Pixel is expected to cost $449, while the Pixel XL will have a price of $599.
The Pixel will feature a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution AMOLED display, 4 gigabyte of RAM and 32 gigabyte or 128 gigabyte of memory. Pixel will be shipped with a 3450 mAh battery with USB Type-C charging.
While the Pixel XL will be packed with Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4 gigabyte RAM, and 32 gigabyte of storage. Pixel XL will also have a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, based on the report of Pocket-Lint.
However, there's a possibility that Google's smartphones could be available even sooner when a person will purchase them directly from Google. As it looks like pre-orders of the Pixel and Pixel XL will open up shortly after they are revealed. That's the strategy Google used when they released their Nexus hardware in the past, Techno Buffalo reported.
