Google Pixel 2 Release Date Set For October 2017 In Two Variants; Pixel 2B To Launch At Lower Price
Rei LantionThe release of the Google Pixel came as a pleasant surprise during 2016, as it challenged the likes of the iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 for premium title. Now, the internet is fresh with speculations, rumors and some pretty decent predictions regarding its successor, the Google Pixel 2. With all eyes in October 2017 for a possible release date, here's a roundup of the details of the sequel to Google's flagship phone.
Release Date: October 2017? Currently, Google has yet to reveal any details regarding the release date of the Google Pixel 2 but a lot of reports point to October 2017 as the best possible release. According to Mirror UK, top-tier smartphones conventionally have a annual upgrade cycle. It can be safely assumed that Google will follow suit.
Tech Radar points out that since the Google Pixel and the Pixel XL both came out in October 2016, chances of the Pixel 2 doing the same are high.
Google Pixel 2B at Budget Price? 9to5Google reports that there's internal testing going on for a budget Pixel, referred to as the "Google Pixel 2B." Sources say this variant will be "significantly cheaper" than the upcoming Google Pixel 2.
This is great news for those on a tight budget, as the same sources suggest a $50 USD increase in price for the Google Pixel 2. This means we could be looking at a starting retail price of $700-$800 USD for the upcoming model.
The minor downside to the speculated Google Pixel 2B is that it comes with "less powerful hardware." However, given that the Google Pixel 2 has some pretty promising specs, users probably won't be too disappointed with the turnout. 9to5Google also mentions that it's aimed at different markets, which is always a good thing.
As of writing this article, Google has yet to confirm or deny any of the speculations regarding retail price or the Google Pixel 2 release date. While the most plausible variants of the Google Pixel 2 are the Pixel XL 2 and the Pixel 2B, lack of official release from the company means that these remain purely speculation.
