The Pixel 2 launch is coming up very soon but that does not stop the leaks from coming out as recently there is new information that surfaced which tells us that the new phones will have a stereo speakers and always listening Music Recognition.
This information comes from XDA Developers who mentioned that the stereo speakers will be added to the front of the phone. The always listening feature will not be included with Google Assistant but it will be a standalone feature that is part of the operating system of the phone, this feature can even be used from the lock screen automatically. Other than that, we will also be getting a new portrait mode in the phone as mentioned in the thread about the Google Camera app. This could allow the phone to produce much sharper images with the bokeh effect. Finally, there will be a search bar at the bottom part of the home page, which has been moved from its regular location which was at the top of the page.
Other than that, we are still expecting to see the squeeze feature to be on this phone as well as an Always-On Ambient Display mode which was previously reported by XDA.
