Google Pixel Leaked in Press Render; Shows New UI and App Icons

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Google Pixel smartphone expected to launch on October 4
  • It is likely to launch alongside the Google Pixel XL
  • Google Pixel and Pixel XL to run Android Nougat
Ahead of Google's much-anticipated October 4 event where the company is expected to showcase new hardware products, we have been treated with an alleged press image of the Google Pixel smartphone.
Posted by Venture Beat, the Google Pixel - which is believed to be the smaller of the two new Pixel smartphones - is seen with its screen turned on. The home screen shows new home onscreen button alongside other interface tweaks. One of the starkest changes in the new UI seems to be the rounded app icons which give the handset a refreshing look. We also speculate that the new UI and rounded icons will be exclusive on Pixel products and may not be seen on other smartphones running Android 7.0 Nougat. To recall, the Google Pixel smartphones are expected to run Android 7.1 Nougat, which is said bring several new features.
Recent teardowns indicate the new icons may bring additional interface options similar to Apple's 3D Touch, however, without the requirement of pressure sensitive displays.
All this differentiation may be part of the 'opinionated' changes that Google is bringing to its flagship smartphones. However, it may also arrive for other Android smartphones as part of the Pixel Launcher - thought to replace the Google Now Launcher. The new press render is also in-line with previouslyleaked Pixel smartphone image.
In another rumour, the new Pixel smartphone may come in "Very Silver and Quite Black" colour variants, according to Android Police's David Ruddock.
Based on preliminary leaks, the Google Pixel smartphone, codenamed 'Sailfish', is said to feature a 5-inch full-HD display with 440ppi pixel density; a quad-core 64-bit quad-core processor; 4GB of RAM; 32GB storage; 12-megapixel rear camera; 8-megapixel front camera, and a 2770mAh battery. The handset is also expected to sport rear-mounted fingerprint scanner along with the USB Type-C port and bottom speaker. The handset is said to pack a headphone jack and come with Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity. The company is also expected to unveiled the Google Pixel XL smartphone, codenamedMarlin.
There is also other bunch of new details about the upcoming Pixel smartphones which are said to come with dust and water resistance rating of IP53 though will lack proper water-resistance. The Pixel smartphone are also expected to be hard to root.
