Evan BlassAs for the images themselves, what is most striking is how massive the new Pixels are in entirely different ways. The Pixel 2 XL has a massive 6-inch display (up from 5.5-inches in the Pixel XL) while the Pixel 2 has disappointingly massive top and bottom bezels wrapping a 5-inch display just like its predecessor. Meanwhile Google also looks set to redesign the Android homescreen, putting the search bar at the bottom below the dock. As for the bad news, Blass reveals Google had hoped to fit both new Pixels with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 836 chip (an iterative upgrade like the Snapdragon 821 chip in the 2016 Pixels). The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL won’t be the only new devices Google launches this week, but they are easily the most anticipated.
