Technology News

Google Pixel 2 smartphones have been code-named 'Taimen' and 'Walleye' and the bigger variant will have a 5.99-inch display, a new leak has said.

According to a post by US-based developers' platform XDA-Developers, the bigger Google Pixel 2 -- code-named 'Taimen' -- will feature a 1440p OLED panel.

The devices will run on Snapdragon 835 with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The note said the devices will have a glass and metal finish and might contain a single rear camera with dual LED flash.

The 'Walleye' or the smaller Pixel 2 will have 4.97-inch display with a resolution of 1080p. This device will also run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, and has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.

The devices would have slim bezels and premium pricing.

In 2016, Pixel were codenamed as Sailfish (Pixel) and Marlin (Pixel XL).

Reportedly Google has sold one million Pixel devices till now.

Technology website Arstechnica reported last week that the installs of the device-exclusive "Pixel Launcher" app just passed the one million mark.

Based on the number of downloads of the launcher, it was reported that Google sold a million Pixel devices in past eight months.

Google’s Pixel series smartphones, Pixel and Pixel XL, have failed to get healthy sales number in India, the world’s fastest growing mobile phone market after China, according to an Economic Times report. The smartphones, which were launched last year amid much fanfare, were well received initially, but couldn’t sustain customer excitement for long, which is is visible from sales figures that show a declining trend. Retailers and industry insiders believe sales of Pixel smartphones have not picked up mainly due to high price tag they carry – Rs 57,000...

Google's flagship Android device has now sold over 1 million units, media reported, saying the figure was reached based on downloads of an application exclusive to the device.

While this is a milestone in the eight-month history of Pixel seen as Google's answer to the Apple iPhone, the number is overshadowed by its competition.

According to Arstechnica, Google doesn't release sales data but the installs of the device-exclusive "Pixel Launcher" app has just passed the 1 million mark.

The data includes pre-installed apps on new Pixel phones and doesn't count installs on third-party devices and so can accurately estimate the number of Pixel phones sold, the report said.
