This year we would see some tough competition in the top flagships with Samsung Galaxy S8, Apple iPhone and also the Google Pixel 2. Talking about the Google Pixel 2, a lot of new details have surfaced about its design, features, and pricing.

The original Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL had capable screens, though the former featured a rather outdated 1080p panel. Considering the fact that Google is winning the mobile virtual reality market with its Daydream platform, it would be relevant for the Google Pixel 2 and the Google Pixel 2 XL to feature displays that are comparable or even better than industry-leading QHD display panels, as per Inquisitr.

Another update is about the design of Google Pixel 2. According to a report by PhoneDog, Google's first-generation premium flagships Pixel and Pixel XL are quite inadequate in conditions of design, particularly with regards to the devices' massive upper and lower bezels. The original Pixel and Pixel XL's strange glass and metal back have been pointed out as an uninspired design choice. Thus, with the upcoming Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Company would be shrewd to utilize a design that is far more refined and worthy of the flagship's high asking price.

The fact that the original Google Pixel and Pixel XL were not water-resistant was a painful point for many Pixel lovers. Therefore, with the Goole Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL, Search Engine giant would take the leap and provide its flagship smartphone with a certain level of water-resistance.

With this in mind, it would not be much of a surprise if the forthcoming Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL would be released with an IP68 rating, which makes a device Dust and Water resistance, much like other flagships currently in the market.
