Google’s second-generation Pixel XL could feature a squeezable body, a 6-inch AMOLED display, and thinner bezels, according to information and rendered images leaked today by Android Police<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

LG is said to be manufacturing the Google Pixel XL 2, which features a design that’s curved like the original Google Pixel. It continues to offer a rear fingerprint sensor (now located in the aluminum portion of the device) and a large single-lens camera, eschewing the dual-lens camera trend.<\/p>\n

The XL version, which is the only version covered in the leak, offers a 6-inch LG-made display with a 2:1 aspect ratio, rounded corners, and a “minimal bezel.” Design wise, it could look a little like Apple’s rumored iPhone 8, which is also expected to have a longer design with much thinner side and top\/bottom bezels. Current iPhone 8 leaks suggest Apple’s device will have little to no bottom bezel and a smaller top bezel, however.<\/p>\n

Most notably, the 2017 Pixel XL is rumored to include a “squeezable” frame like the recently launched HTC U11<\/a>. The technology will let Pixel users squeeze their handsets to activate Google Assistant “in various ways.”<\/p>\n

In the HTC U11, the “Edge Sense” feature lets people use a squeeze gesture to activate pressure sensors that can turn on the flashlight, launch the camera, take a photo, or launch Google Assistant.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear when Google’s second-generation Pixel XL device will be released, but the original version was unveiled in October of 2016, so a fall release date could be planned. If that’s the case, the Pixel XL will launch during the same time frame as the iPhone 8 and could be one of the device’s main competitors along with the already-available Samsung Galaxy S8<\/a> and the yet-to-be announced rumored Galaxy Note 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
