Weekly Recap: Pixels, Headphone Jacks, and Leaks

Another week in the books at DL, one filled with talk of Pixels, headphone jacks, and a large amount of leaks. This week, we saw what we think are actual pictures of the Pixel 2, complete with what appear to be dual front-facing speakers. It’s also believed that the Pixel 2 won’t have a headphone jack, which has a few people up in arms.

Beyond that, we also got looks at the Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30, thanks to separate leaks. Basically, if there’s an upcoming phone you’re interested in, it’s been leaked.
