[Tech Leaks] Google Pixel 2: Announcement rumored for October 5th

https://9to5google.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/pixelxl2_leak_ap_1.png?w=1500&h=500

According to the famed leaker, Evan Blass, we now know that Google might be unveiling both the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 on October 5. This date lines up with last year’s announcement of the original Pixel handsets which took place on October 4.

In the same tweet (seen below) Blass confirms that both of the second-generation Pixels will come powered by the Snapdragon 836 CPU. While this is technically a step up compared to the 835 found in other flagships announced this year, it won’t give either device too much of a lead as far as performance is concerned.

No official plans have been announced for the new handsets, but we did anticipate Google would take the wraps off of the new smartphones as well as some other devices later this fall.
