Google Nexus 7 2016 model is rumored to be on its way for the public to see. Although Google has remained silent about the Nexus 2016 smartphone release date, price and specs details, various leaks have confirmed that the upcoming Nexus 2016 will get a brand new name Pixel. With the online circulation of specs and other details, sellers on online sites have already begun selling the front panels of the handsets.
The touchscreen and front panels of the highly anticipated Google Pixel/Nexus 2016 smartphone have been put on sale on the Canadian eBay website by seller Oneby_tech, Android Headlines reported. The designs are based on current leaked images and renders of the Pixel handsets.
Previous reports suggested that changes are going to be made with the series. It is alleged that there is a chance that the upcoming Google Nexus 7 will no longer be called as such. The smartphones may be changed from Nexus to Pixel (Codenamed Sailfish) and Pixel XL (Codenamed Marlin) considering the latest HTC-made smartphones for Google. Both the gadgets will allegedly be manufactured by Taiwan's HTC.
According to Huawei blog, Google Pixel XL is expected to features Snapdragon 820 64-bit quad-core SoC paired with Adreno 530 GPU, a 5.5-inch Quad HD display and 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The device is alleged to get an 8-megapixel front camera and a 13-megapixel rear camera with Android 7.0 or Android 7.1 Nougat pre-installed.
On the other hand, the Google Pixel is said to get a 5-inch full HD display, 3 GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 820 chipset and 2,770 mAh battery. As for the price, the purported device will retail for higher price than last year's Nexus handsets if it is going to be based on the 10.2-inch Pixel C which costs around $500. But there is still a possibility that Google will maintain the price range of the Nexus line.
The release date of Google Pixel/Nexus 2016 smartphones are alleged to be unveiled by the tech giant during a launch event tipped to happen on Oct. 4, 2016. There are even reports which claim that the highly anticipated Pixel and Pixel XL handsets will be available for pre-orders in U.S. the same day the handsets are announced.
For now, fans who are anticipating the Google Nexus 7 2016 model will have to take this information with a grain of salt as nothing yet have been announced about Google Pixel/Nexus 2016 smartphone specs, release date and price details.
