Google's upcoming flagship has once again been spotted on the database of US regulatory body FCC. The filing confirms previous rumours that LG will be building the device for Google. |
Google’s Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
are fast approaching launch. A new sighting on the database of the US
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) confirms that LG is indeed the
manufacturer for the company’s larger flagship smartphone, the Pixel 2
XL, in 2017.
Google will be launching the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL on
October 4 and the company has started teasing the announcement by
setting up billboards, putting up a teaser link on the Chrome browser and posting a YouTube Video.
The leaked FCC document does not give out any other
information about the Pixel 2 XL, except the fact that it will not work
on the 600MHz T-Mobile spectrum in the US. Previously published FCC
documents had confirmed that the Pixel 2 is being manufactured by HTC.
Google is also reportedly in the final stages of negotiating a deal for HTC's smartphone division.
Both the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL will be powered
by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 and not the rumoured Snapdragon 836 mobile
platform. With Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Google is expected to add a
squeezable frame, similar to the one found on HTC's U11. The squeezable frame is expected to trigger the Google Assistant and certain applications on the two devices.
