While Google is expected to debut the new Pixel and Pixel XL flagships next month, there are still no confirmed details on when the new devices will be out in the market. Speculations suggest that Google will make the Pixel and Pixel XL available right after the alleged October launch.
According to TechnoBuffalo, fans expect the new Google flagships in a press event on October 4. Since it is early in the month that the Pixel and Pixel XL will be unveiled, it is highly likely that Google will release the new flagships out in the market even before October ends. In addition, Google has its own online store where it can immediately list unlocked versions of the Pixel and Pixel XL right after their debut. It is even rumored that pre-orders for the new flagships will go live on the unveiling day itself, with the devices shipping out just weeks after its October 4 unveiling.
The industry follower also underscored speculations that Google has already entered third-party releases for the upcoming flagships. Reportedly, one noted mobile carrier, Telstra, will have exclusive rights to the Pixel lineup in Australia and may even start pre-orders also on the devices' debut.
Meanwhile, although Google has yet to come out with confirmed details on the new flagships, supposed leaks of the features and specs of Pixel and Pixel XL have already come out. Dubbed previously as the 2016 editions of the Nexus lineup, the rebranded devices will almost have similar top-tier specs, although the Pixel will serve as the base model version with a 5.0-inch display. The larger Pixel XL, on the other hand, will feature a 5.5-inch screen. Both models are expected to carry a Snapdragon 821 processor, paired with 4 GB of RAM. Rumors also say that instead of the base version platform, Google will feature an updated Android 7.1 Nougat right out of their boxes.
