  • I’m just ready to ditch my 6P. I don’t understand what happened to my 6P. It was amazing when I first got it, then it started getting janky. Then it finally bootlooped. Contacted Google, they sent me a replacement no questions asked. The new one is crazy slow! I’m just ready to ditch the 6P for a Pixel. This next couple of months is going to be painful.

  • unfortunately by time i pay off my current XL, they’ll probably be a few months away from Gen 3….

  • Was bitterly disappointed when the Nexus 5X wasn’t just a smaller 6P. Apparently I’m about to be disappointed again. This phone looks GORGEOUS. I’ve tried the 5.5+” 16:9 phones, and it just isn’t for me. I bought a 6P twice and returned it both times, despite trying my best to deal with the unwieldy size. A 5.2″ premium phone with 2:1 aspect and skinny bezels would absolutely KILL.

  • Make sure there is a blue version, other Google colors would be nice as well. And 64 gig better be the lowest option.

  • That back is a deal breaker for me, the first Pixel has a horrendous back as well, if back was all one color I might highly consider this phone since it appears Big Red is killing the Droid line

  • This looks nice. Unfortunately, I just cancelled my Verizon service, and my new smartphone is an FM radio from the 50s.
    Going analog. Oh the fun Andy and I had, but Verizon ruined it all. The rooting and the rebooting, I will miss it, who am I kidding, I’d rather be fishin.

  • I’d love to see some references to how big this thing is a 6 inch screen seems like it’s going to be too damn big to fit in my pocket

    • you seem to forget it’s 18:9 not 16:9 is the same width as a 5.5 inch 16:9 screen( so think LG G4 ) and only about 1/4 taller than the screen of a LG G6.

  • I bought a 128GB Pixel XL (after selling my 32GB Pixel XL) on the off chance we were losing things like headphone jacks and/or these new 18:9 aspect ratio rumors didn’t pan out. I think I’m in a hold until more news of the camera/other specs come out. But its a step in the right direction for Googs.

  • But do we REALLY need a 6″ only option for the best Pixel? Can I maybe get a 5.6″???

    And I’m not too fond of the 18:9 crap. 17 maybe, 16 yes.

    • Phone size creep bothers me. At first, a 5″ phone was huge. Then 5.5″ was the larger version. Then 5.8″, then 6″… when will it stop?

      I want a flagship phone in the 5″-5.5″ range, no bigger. Is that too much of an undertaking or loaded request?

      • People used to say my Droid X with a 4.3″ screen was absurdly huge.

  • I’m pretty sure this is the first Google phone render that generally people aren’t grossed out by. Nexus 6p and pixel xl both had a ton of hate before they were released.

  • If this is it, more or less, then this will FINALLY be the device I uprgrade to from my Nexus 6P… & thank Google Jesus because Lord knows it needs an upgrade desperately… Take my money.

  • I know it’s probably just an oversight of the mock-up but I really hope the final version nicely aligns the front-facing camera with the speaker grill. It’s the only thing driving me nuts about this picture. In a perfect world they’d also align the camera lens on the back with the fingerprint reader. Here’s hoping they get those little details right.

  • Why the hell didn’t they put a speaker on the bottom and make it front facing stereo speakers?

    • They all are trying to be a screen only in front, why they don’t realize the way the N6 was done it still looks terrific, and FFS’s make it sound even better…

  • I’m not crazy about the two-tone back just like the original pixel. However, for $900 it’s yours!

  • Ok this is ahead of the pack as far as my next phone goes. Looks awesome! Who am I kidding? Take my money!!

  • I have to admit… This phone looks like sex. I don’t know if I can say no to this..

    AND A SQUEEZE Frame? HTC DID IT FIRST – – – NEVER FORGET

  • What I think is Google needs to start designing their own phones. This has to much inspiration from Samsung/LG/HTC.

  • Interesting how iPhone is rumored to have wireless charging and Google completely abandoned it.
    Shame….

    • Comes with the territory of having a metal phone. Personally, I’ll take a solid, sturdy frame any day over a fragile glass one if that’s what it takes to include such a feature.

        • Partial glass, and it’s even smaller than last year so it more than likely couldn’t fit the coils or whatever necessary to make it work properly with existing chargers. I mean, I’m all for making it work, but glass backed phone’s are a dumb idea in general (plus such a cheap material that other manufacturers reserve it for their budget phone’s) that I don’t think is worth the trade off of durability.

      • Ceramic?
        In any case, i’d take gorilla glass 5 (or whatever it is now) or even polycarbonate to have wireless charging. And it’s already partial glass (pointless at that)

        • Solid polycarbonate would be ideal but it just doesn’t feel as premium as metal but I’d take it over cheap glass any day.

    • So, you didn’t give a damn about wireless charging to this day even though many phones have had it but now that iPhone is gonna have it, you are disappointed. Wow.

      • Wow, you are so full of assumptions based on….. Thin gases.
        I’ve had every single Nexus tablet/phone since Nexus 5. I have nothing else to say to “people” like you

    • Actually the iphone8 wont have wireless charging at launch. and they mention hardware which may mean again apple Will make it not standard but needing to purchase their hardware. So 1 when someone says it wont work at launch but must need a os update (as they said it would need) you are waiting how long than all those chargers sitting in the house may not work? I wouldn’t use apple mention of wireless charging as anything to be hyped about until we actually see it and it is a standard and not a proprietary system that costs more than its worth.

  • Looks nice but I feel like I basically already have this phone with my S8+ set like my pixel.

  • I like it, but I don’t see the dual front-facing speakers we were all hoping for…

  • Looks really nice, not interested though, too big. Waiting to see what the Pixel 2 is, but if that actually does exclude a headphone jack then I’m not interested in it either.

    • It’s already been leaked (well, at least the dummies for cases). It looks nearly identical to Pixel1.

  • Curved screen will literally make me not want to buy the phone. I hope to God this is fake.

    • Android Police says the screen is not curved: ” The “3D” glass effect is also much more pronounced on this phone, though don’t go confusing that for a curved display – the screen itself is flat.”

  • Please don’t let it have a screen with curved edges. They’re strictly for looks, they cause false touches, and I’ll take function over style every time…

    • I hate the curved edges just because I like putting a glass screen protector on my phone and they either don’t fit well on phones with curved edges or are way too expensive.

    • If the pic’s are accurate it looks like just the bezel is in the curved part which should work for both pro-curve and no curve people.

      Phone looks great imo.

    • Former Note 7 & current S7E user begging to differ. I love having a bezel-less phone where I’ve had 0 false touches. Though I don’t use the Edge features, both devices had/have creatures that made them very functional, with style.

        • You’re right. I think it does differ from person to person just like everything else. There are people out there who break or lose a phone once a year & some who haven’t done so in years. Hopefully the next Pixel will work for you.

  • Fiiiiiire. I can finally upgrade my 6P. Can’t wait to get this on release day.

  • Looks cool. I just really hope it isn’t larger than 6P. I’d hate to go with regular Pixel2 because from leaked pics it looks nearly identical to Pixel1… which = FAIL

    • Will be much smaller than the huge 6P. 6″ 2:1 is like regular phone size width.

      • 6″ 2:1 is the width of a 5.5″ 16:9. Which makes sense for an XL replacement, but a bugger for those who don’t want a phablet if they then just rehash the 2016 design for the regular-sized one.

    • It’s insane that I have a pixel that I’m paying for for 2 years to Verizon, yet I’m on my Nexus 6 every other day thinking about jumping back to T-Mobile. ????

      • I mean doesn’t look like it. Probably Surround how everyone is doing it now, bottom firing and top firing

        • The pixel didn’t come with anything phones of the same price actually came with. I bought the XL 128gb was very disappointed to find out that I had lost my water resistance and my dual speakers.

          Although the screen was slightly clear and the camera was definitely better these trade-offs no matter when you constantly drop your phone and work near water. Not to mention when I hold my phone with both hands while playing a video game I can’t hear the game at all because one of my hands is covering up the bottom speaker.

          So if they do decide to do surround sound it’s a step up but it doesn’t help a lot of people. Unfortunately it looks like companies like the iPhone are going to be completely screens on the front now which means no more front facing speakers anyway.

          I’m just hoping I get one more device before my forties where I can actually use it

          • So wait…you bought the phone and was disappointed to find no water resistance or dual speakers?… You didn’t know this before you bought the Phone?

  • It just could be the angles, but it looks like it’s a bit thick. That being said, Google can have all my monies.

    • I thought the same thing, but I took it as a positive. The S8+ is almost too thin for my liking.

    • Maybe its packed with super exciting cutting edge technology to actually upstage an Apple device.

      • Do you mean like most other Android phones? Upstaging an Apple device isn’t that hard in my opinion.

        My friend has an iPhone and the other day I mentioned downloading a file to my phone and he had no idea such a thing could be done.

        Poor guy got an iPhone back when nothing compared to it. He was on AT&T. Then the Droid 1 came out and that was the end of that. But now it’s hard to switch because he is used too being limited by his phones abilities.

        I’m lucky Verizon didn’t have the iPhone back then or I’d probably still be stuck there too.

    • I thought so too. Happy with this. Hopefully it means a large battery. A big battery paired with the SD 835 would mean epic battery life.

    • And once you slap a case on any of them, what happens ?

      This goes for thick, and for the rounded edge comments ….

  • I will sell my unborn baby for one!……….probably the only way to get one when they launch unless they fix their horrid supply chain problem that the first Pixel had.

  • And back to the smaller device being lesser hardware. What a shame. Last year was nice with both being the same outside of screen and battery.

  • If they had an option to upgrade from the first pixel, I would get it! I wonder if they’ll do that..what do you think Kellen/Tim?

    • It’s the only phone on my radar right now heh. Note 8 will be fine, but Samsung’s software is so terrible, I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle anything but the next Pixel.

      • I meant if they had an upgrade program to get the new pixel if you bought the og pixel

      • im with you here buddy. The Pixel is so good… only another will do but the next smaller pixel sounds very boring

      • I couldn’t bear to wait another 3 months for the next big phones to come out as my Nexus 6 has become unbearably hard to use. As a result, I reserved the Essential phone as it looked like it would be a steal this year. Looking at all the phone leaks coming out, I began to wonder if this phone would underwhelm compared to the rest of the pack. What are your thoughts about this phone? Could this be something that you’d put on your radar? Or do you feel it’ll pale in comparison to Android phones, namely the Pixel 2, coming out this year?

    • Why would Google buy back your phone? They can barely keep up with sales logistics

  • That’s a nice looking phone. Waterproof? Expandable storage? Battery size? Let’s talk…

    • I’d guess water resistant like the G6, definitely no expandable storage because this is Google, and likely a large battery. Phone is probably quite big.

      • My guess is they will be basing this on the v30. almost all of it will be v30 except for the cameras and casing

        • They don’t do that anymore. Before, they would pick a company and yes, they would base it off their current flagship. But now, Google picks all the parts that goes in it and designs it how they want it. Then just has a company put it together based on that.

          • Google just gave a bunch of money to LG to develop more AMOLED screens. While you are right i think that they will be rather close and i hope they use amoled in the v30 as well

      • In theory it could be the same size as the OG Pixel XL.

        The Nexus 6 with 6″ screen was 6.27 inches tall. The Pixel XL with 5.5″ screen is 6.09 inches tall.

        • If the screen is 18:9 then the width of the screen is going to be approximately the same as the Pixel XL. The screen will be taller but based on these pics that seems to be mostly made up for by the much smaller bezels. Should be about the same size as the Pixel XL.

      • If they don’t at least do that I will seriously lose it…but still probably end up getting it. *grumble*

    • I didn’t even think front-facing speakers were something I’d care about until I recently replaced my 6P (refunded for battery issues) with the Pixel XL.

      • I understand this. the 6p is still running great no need to upgrade except the battery life is half what it use to be. Im really looking for phones with replaceable battery again.

  • I swear – if the smaller Pixel 2 isn’t identical in terms of looks and specs (other than screen/battery), I’m going to be so disappointed.

  • Love it. I doubt the final product will look like this, but if the bezels look remotely similar, I’m buying.

    • Why? AP has an EXCELLENT track record, they were spot on last year. I bet it will look virtually identical upon release.

      • Because it looks like someone combined the designs of the Pixel, S8 and G6 in Photoshop. Which I’m ok with, but Google’s phones always do something a little odd with their design.

          • Don’t get me wrong, it’s plenty odd (and I sorta like it). But when was the last time Google carried old design language over to a new phone? That looks like a Photochopped Pixel back on an S8/G6 front

    • Have you compared the Sport and whatever the other watch [finished the sentenced and remembered it was called Style] was renders to the final?

      Those watched completely fell off the planet.

  • Maybe if the smaller one was actually smaller this time around, more like Sony Compact size, and had a MicroSD I’d be ALL ABOUT IT…though I’ll still recommend Pixels to anyone who asks me

    • I get the feeling that the smaller one, still made by HTC, will be a replica of last year’s only with new internals. This is probably going to be the one to buy.

      • ya after hearing the rumors this seems to be the case… really disappointing but hest at least this should be a 6″ phone that you could hold with that 2:1 display. The screen width would be the same as a 16:9 display at 5.5 inches

        • 6″ but screen size of like 5.8″ great for text content and lists but not so great for multimedia content. Even though I did enjoy S8+ screen a lot

          • it will be exactly between the s8 and s8+ screen size. sure those are 18.5:9 but close enough. if it is 3 inchs or less in width and less than 6″ in height i am sold.
