14 DAY TRIAL // Verizon is one of the biggest mobile carriers in the US and the company seems to have revealed new information on Google’s upcoming smartphones. These past few days, online retailers have leaked almost all there is to know about the two new phones.
Verizon listed both the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, but the company quickly removed the pages afterward. The listing was spotted by Android Central, which noticed an interesting new bit of information that we didn’t know about the phones.
Pixel and Pixel XL will apparently come with a new feature called Google Magic. It might be an implementation of Google Assistant, but that’s not certain for the moment. Others say that Google Magic might stand for exclusive Pixel software with gesture features. It’s anyone’s guess at this point, honestly.
Pixel and Pixel XL will be made available in blue color variant
Moving on, Verizon posted images of Pixel smartphones in three color variants: Very Silver, Quite Black, and Really Blue. It’s surprising to see that Google will offer a blue variant of the Pixel phones, and we’ll just have to wait and see if they’re Verizon exclusive.
Fortunately, Evan Blass leaked an image of the blue and silver variants posted on Verizon’s website. The leak doesn’t reveal any prices or availability details, but considering that the launch event is just a few hours away, the information will be provided then.
The listings also showed that customers will be able to pick from two internal storage options on the two phones, either 32GB or 128GB. Moreover, the two smartphones will benefit from “productivity, performance built for business and strengthened security.”
It remains to be seen what Google was referring to, considering that these are Android-running smartphones, nonetheless. Pixel and Pixel XL will run Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box and come with the same SD821 SoC and 4GB of RAM, alongside other similarities.
