In about a week’s time, Google will be hosting an event in which it will show off the new HTC-made Pixel phones and a new 4K-ready Chromecast. Unfortunately for Google, renders for both the Pixel phones and the 4K Chromecast has been leaked today, giving us our first look at the device.
We begin with the Pixel and the Pixel XL, the two phones that will be succeeding the Nexus line of smartphones. Google’s Pixel will come with a 5″ Full HD display and a 2770 mAh battery, while the Pixel XL will sport a 5.5″ QHD display and a 3450 mAh battery. Specifications for both the Pixel and Pixel XL will be identical, with both phones equipped with a 2.0GHz quad-core processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 12MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera and a fingerprint sensor. Prices for the Pixel is rumoured to start at USD649, making it far more expensive than any of the Nexus phones.
Next up is the 4K-ready Chromecast. Called the Chromecast Ultra, this device will run on firmware 1.21. One of the bigger cosmetic changes that has been done to the Chromecast Ultra is the removal of the Chromecast logo, replacing it with Google’s “G” logo instead. As for pricing, the Chromecast Ultra is expected to retail at USD69, almost double the price of the regular Chromecast.
Both the Pixels and the Chromecast Ultra will be making its debut at Google’s event next week alongside other devices like Google’s rumoured VR headset, a Wi-Fi router, and the Google Home.
