Rumor mill specifications of Google Pixel 2
It has been anticipated that the screen resolution of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is going to be different this year. Google Pixel 2 is tipped to come with a 1080p screen resolution while Google Pixel 2 XL is expected to come with QHD resolution. Most of the flagship devices came with Snapdragon 820 last year; however, Pixel devices came with a marginal upgraded Snapdragon 821. Consequently, things are going to be different this year. Both Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will be coming along with Snapdragon 835.
As far as the design is concerned, it is going to be bezel-less. Moreover, the addition of stereo speakers on the front of the devices will make it more appealing. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 will be protecting the screen of the phones. In addition, both the devices will also be IP67 water resistant.
Arguably, Pixel possessed one of the best cameras last year. The devices will come with one rear and front camera. Keep your fingers crossed for the pixels though.

Google Pixel 2 will feature a 2,700mAh battery while Pixel 2 XL will come with a 3,520mAh battery. The option of wireless charging is still not provided but both the devices will be supporting flash charging. The Google Photos storage will be unlimited just like last year. Furthermore, the devices will provide 64/128 GB internal storage options.
One of the new features is going to be that both the devices are expected to come with embedded SIM cards. It means that you won’t be required to change your SIM and that you would be able to switch carriers. However, this very feature is going to be valuable for users who are residing in USA. It remains to be seen whether the devices will still come along with a SIM card slot for the rest of the countries.
