It is obvious that Google, the search engine giant, is currently working on the upgraded version of its previously launched Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. Early rumours in the smartphone market suggested that the company has codenamed the second-gen Pixel XL 2 as Muskie, but now, according to some recent reports by Android Police, Google is believed to drop out the Muskie from the lineup. Considering the latest reports the upcoming Google Pixel XL 2 will be based on another phone, which has been codenamed Taimen. Moreover, it is also supposed to be blessed with a bigger screen compared to its predecessor.
Previously, an online news community named Droid-life had also stated that the company’s upcoming Taimen will feature a screen, larger than both Walleye and Muskie. Now, as per the latest reports, it can be concluded that Google has finally decided to get rid of Muskie, which means that only two Pixel smartphones will be introduced by Google this year and they will be undoubtedly based on Walleye (smaller and hence Pixel 2) and Taimen (the bigger Pixel XL 2).
Early rumours in the market showcased the possibilities that both the upcoming Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will be blessed with a metal body along with a waterproof shell. The smartphones are supposed to be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 4GB RAM. The current Pixel handset packs fabulous cameras, which increases the user expectations for the upcoming handsets in term of optics.
The upcoming Google Taimen, which was also spotted on Geekbench will be seen running the company’s latest Android O OS. The spotted listing also shows that the device will be powered by a Qualcomm octa-core processor clocked at 1.90GHz speed. The device scored 1804 in single-core test and 6248 in multi-core test, moreover, it is also believed to arrive with 4GB RAM.
Google Taimen will undoubtedly be the expensive one between the upcoming two smartphones, as it is the successor of the Google Pixel XL. Google launched its Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones back in 2016, in which the base variant of Pixel (32GB) was introduced priced at Rs 57,000, whereas the base variant of Pixel XL was introduced at Rs 67,000. Similarly, the 128GB storage variant of pixel comes with a price tag of Rs 66,000, whereas the Pixel XL comes with a price tag of Rs 76,000. We can see that there is a difference of Rs 10,000 in Pixel and Pixel XL price rates, so we can expect something similar with the upcoming products by the renowned technology company.
