While the OnePlus 5 and the iPhone of late have taken centre-stage in accumulating much of the attention of fans and anticipating buyers, one of the biggest competitors in the space and the most proficient, Google, has quietly been testing its new Pixel smartphones, and the evidence is in the latest benchmarking scores released.
A listing on the graphics benchmarking service, GFXBench, has revealed the specifications of the larger Pixel, the Pixel XL 2, showcasing the device’s prowess in all its glory. Based on the listing, the device will come with a display resolution of 2560×1312 pixels. This means that Google will be going the same route like Samsung’s S8, having a much taller aspect ratio than usual. This could also mean that the company will be making Android optimized and work efficiently to support the resolution and take as much advantage of the aspect ratio as possible.
Other details of the device indicate that it could come with a 5.6-inch screen, but the final product is estimated to be a little smaller than the numbers given in the listing, but that can only be confirmed once the device is officially released.
The phone will have a lower pixel density compared to its rivals, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG G6. Again, this could be only speculation as there will be changes made to the device over the course of development. Other internal specifications pointed towards a Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 12MP rear camera with 4K video recording. The phone is also expected to come with a 7MP front-facing camera that can also record in 4K.
Also, the new Pixel phones will carry forward the bezel-less trend that numerous other flagships have been showcasing. It is not always the benchmarking listings that remain accurate. Even the OnePlus 5, when it releases, despite its raving benchmark scores, may not have its performance determined by mere numbers. Google, being the prime standard for its species and the perfect example of what an Android device should be, will represent a much better, smoother experience in navigation and updates that no other manufacture will be able to imitate.
While there are no leaks of images of the phone or other details, we can expect more benchmark scores to be taken just like this, in the coming months before the phones finally do arrive. Needless to say, Google has its work cut out for itself, since the competition has already begun development on next year flagships.
