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.
