The fans were excited to find out that Google still care about the Pixel successor but recent news about its Head of Division leaving the company might hint at something else. The Google Pixel 2 will still be released but with an uncertain time window.

David Foster was supposed to run the entire Pixel phone division before he left to join Amazon. The news has made a string of speculations consisting of the Google Pixel fate, the company's future plans and everything else in between.

According to a few sources, Google will introduce three models, one of which, will sport a huge display while squeezing the power inside a thinner body, Forbes reported.

Under the hood, Google Pixel 2 will definitely come with a Snapdragon 835 processor. Google should make sure that the Pixel successor meets the fans' demand. There has been audio problem in the current Pixel as complained by a few users and a few reported supply shortage of the handsets, BGR reported.
