14 DAY TRIAL // As the unveiling date of Pixel and Pixel XL approaches, specs and images of the upcoming Google smartphones continue to leak online. Yesterday, we saw the order page for Pixel and Pixel XL on the website of a Canadian carrier, and today, Carphone Warehouse listed the two phones on its website.
Pictures, full specs, specification summary, items in the retail box, they were all revealed by the British mobile phone retailer on the product pages spotted by Android Police. Unfortunately, the listings don't reveal the price of the upcoming phones.
It's quite unsure why the retailer would make the information available one day before the official release, but it might have been caused by a website error. Some say that orders for the Pixel and Pixel XL could start immediately after the unveiling in the US and Canada. The listing of the two Pixel phones does mean that the devices will most likely be made available as soon as tomorrow in Europe as well.
Pixel and Pixel XL will both come with Gorilla Glass 4
Google's Pixel will weigh 143 grams and measure 143.8 x 69.5 x 8.6 mm, while the Pixel XL will be a bit larger and heavier at 154.7 x 75.7 x 8.6 mm and 168 grams. This is mainly due to the fact that Pixel XL comes with a larger display of 5.5 inches and 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, with QHD AMOLED and Gorilla Glass 4 on top.
Pixel density on the XL version of the smartphone is 534ppi, while it reaches just 441ppi on the 5-inch FHD AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 4 of the Pixel. The product page reveals that battery capacity on the Pixel is 2,770mAh with 32 hours talk time, while on the Pixel XL is 3,450mAh with 26 hours.
Both devices will run Android 7.1 Nougat
Both smartphones will come with an abundance of connectivity options, as well as fingerprint scanners and OIS on their rear cameras, which seem to have the same capacity of 12MP with f/2.0 aperture. Front cameras will have 8MP on both handsets, and there doesn't appear to be any difference when it comes to processor model and RAM capacity.
The Pixel phones will run a 2.15GHz quad-core Snapdragon 821 SoC with 4GB of RAM and will come with either 32GB or 128GB of internal storage, expandable to 256GB.
Both devices will be running Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box, together with the Pixel Launcher. USB Type-C is also found on the upcoming phones, and Google will provide free unlimited photo backups at maximum resolution through Google Photos.
