The Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones have now been leaked almost in their entirety thanks to Canadian and British retailers. Android Central notes that following on from Bell putting an image of the Pixel on a Galaxy Note 7 page. Noted leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) found that, and promotional blurb. Then The Carphone Warehouse managed to put up its entire product pages.
Specs
The 5.5-inch screen is a 2560×1440, quad HD model which is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. The specs suggest a 4350mAh battery while the 5-inch model has a 2770mAh battery and a 1920×1080 screen.
Both of the phone have a 12-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. One important point to note is that these are also f/2.0 lenses, which means they won’t let in as much light as Samsung, LG and Apple phones. Where this is the case it’s important to use stabilisation to help keep things blur-free in low-light. Last years Nexus phones had good cameras, let’s hope this is the same here.
Both have the circular fingerprint sensor that we saw introduced on last year’s Nexus 5X and 6P phones. The devices each have 4GB of RAM, which is quite a bit, but Android tends to need more of this than either Windows Phone or iOS devices do.
Even without a leak I could tell you that this phone: won’t have a microSD slot and will have USB-C. These are two things that annoy me greatly. The leak also hints that the two capacities will be 32 and 128GB.
Speedy
The processor is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821. This tells us a few interesting things because of the features that are on offer in the SoC. Audio, for example, can be incredibly quality lossless with 192kHz 24-bit support. The processor is also 4K capable, so while the phones don’t display that resolution, they can output it to an external display.
Don’t forget 4G and Wi-Fi are key points too, and the 821 is quick here too. It’s very likely that Google wants these phones to be the fastest possible at getting you where you want to go online, and having 600mbps potential download speeds over LTE is a big part of that.
