It found a following list: OCEAN_WHL, OCEAN_UL, OCEAN_DUGL, OCEAN_DTWL, OCEAN_UHL, OCEAN_UHL_JAPAN, OCEAN_A, S2, and M2. The first six items in the list – various modifications of HTC U11 held for sale at various markets. What is OCEAN_A, unknown? But we are most interested in S2 and M2 items. The HTC nomenclature already S1 and M1 – is Google Pixel and Pixel XL. Most likely, in the firmware U11 lit up their sequels. Note that the characteristics of the older models already known for GFXBench.
The older model Pixel 2 XL under the codename Taimen (trout) will receive 5.99 inch OLED-display with a resolution Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) from LG. The smartphone will get a thinner frame around the display is compared to the original Pixel XL. The design will be similar – two-tone back panel with metal at the bottom and at the top of the glass, but the fingerprint scanner will be gone with it. Hardware basis will be top processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and 4GB of RAM. In this case, 128 GB of internal flash memory will be the only option.
Google Pixel 2 junior model code named Walleye (walleye) retain 4.97-inch display with a resolution Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) as in the previous year Pixel. Google will get rid of a 3.5mm headphone jack and the vacancy will donate a stereo. Hardware basis becomes top processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and 4 GB and 64 GB internal flash memory.
The “Muskie ” and the ” Walleye ” are 2 names of fish in English, always in the same register as The code names of the Pixel and Pixel XL last year. This means that Google is actually developing new products.
Recall, these “fish” code names in the spirit of Google branded smartphone. So, last year’s Pixel and Pixel XL called Marlin (Marlin) and Sailfish (sailing, also the fish), and Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P – Bullhead (a kind of catfish) and Angler (monkfish).
It is expected that the mobile phone also comes with an IP67 or IP68 certification that makes it dust-resistant and can be submerged in water, although the previous model only has Ip53 certification that makes it only splash-proof.
As expected, Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL will debut in October 2017.
