Google Pixel 2 updates: Concept design features curved edge; Google in discussion about flexible OLED display

It is common knowledge that Google will release a new iteration of its Pixel series, loosely referred to as the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL, sometime this year. Prior to its release, there are attempts to guess the specifications and other features of the upcoming devices. In addition, a video concept surfaced on the internet just recently.

PocketNow has uploaded a video in YouTube featuring the possible look of the upcoming Google Pixel devices. It comes with a curved edge design that has a resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy S8. The technology portal also asked fans if they prefer the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL to have this type of design. Even though there are mixed opinions, a lot of fans expressed that they do not want the curved edge design due to different reasons.

At the moment, speculations about the specifications of the upcoming devices are a bit few. Nonetheless, Rick Osterloh, head of the company's hardware department, revealed in an interview with Android Pit at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month, that Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL will continue to cater to the premium market.

With this, there are many who believe that the upcoming smartphones will come in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. Along with this, the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL are expected to come with at least 6 GB of RAM and internal storage options starting at 64 GB.

In addition, the upcoming devices are anticipated to have excellent camera features, as well as some dust and water-proofing features.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Korean-language report from Economic Times reveals that Google is working on a deal with LG Display worth $880 million for a large supply of flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. If this pushes through, the upcoming Google Pixel devices may also feature stylish looks.

Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL are expected to come out sometime in October.
