Google is gearing up for the release of their newest flagship smartphone products in a special launch event for Pixel and Pixel XL. However, more details about the upcoming devices had been leaked prior to launch.
One of the leaks came from U.S. network provider Verizon which accidentally posted images of the phones on the smartphone section of the Verizon Enterprise website. While the network provider promptly deleted the posting, Gizmodo managed to capture a screenshot of the listing where the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are up for sale.
Based on Verizon's listing, both Google Pixel and its bigger cousin, the Google Pixel XL, will come out with a new feature called Google Magic. While there are no details mentioned about what this new feature will bring, the publication speculated that it could be the smartphone's exclusive software. It could also be Google's version of Apple's virtual assistant, Siri.
The publication also revealed that Google Pixel and Pixel XL will come in three colors namely silver, black, and blue. The devices are also mentioned to have stronger security features, and they are built with optimum performance for businesses.
This is not the first time that a network provider spilled the beans about Google's upcoming line of smartphone products. According to Android Central, Canadian network carrier Bell accidentally placed a marketing blurb for Google Pixel and Pixel XL on the network's Samsung Galaxy Note 7 business order page.
Reports claimed that the 5-inch Google Pixel will have a 1920×1080 screen resolution and a 2770mAh battery, while the Google Pixel XL will come with a 5.5-inch screen with 2560×1440 resolution and 3450mAh.
Both devices will reportedly come with a 12-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel secondary shooter. They will also have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor with 4 GB of RAM.
Google will officially launch the Pixel and Pixel XL on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 9 a.m. PT.
