After seeing the Google Pixel smartphone up close, it’s time to now see its larger sibling, the Pixel XL.
Thanks to Evan Blass, we now have no doubt of how the device will look like.
As you can tell from the image, other than the Pixel XL being simply a larger Pixel smartphone, we’ll have to wait for it to be announced to know what makes it really different from the smaller Pixel phone in terms of unique features and capabilities.
Google has scheduled an event on October 4th to announce the Pixel and the Pixel XL alongside other devices like Google Home, Chromecast Ultra and, hopefully, a brand new operating system that merges the best of Chrome of OS with Android.
Here’s a recap of the expected specifications of the two devices:
