Google Pixel 2 XL design revealed in an early render

-


Android Police has an early render of the upcoming Google Pixel 2, which will be manufactured by LG. The render in question is of the bigger or "XL" model and all details mentioned pertain only to this particular variant.



At first glance the phone looks similar to the current Google Pixel XL but there are many differences to consider. On the front is an 18:9 aspect ratio AMOLED display. It is expected the display will be 6.0-inch in size. The glass has curved edges but this is not a curved display. Like the G6 and the S8, the phone has very narrow bezels on the front but isn't quite bezel-less like the Essential Phone or Mi MIX.


On the back the new phone has a glass area near the top but it's much smaller this time around. There is a single camera lens at the top with LED flash and the fingerprint sensor is placed outside the glass area this time. The phone has no visible antenna lines in the render. The headphone jack is not visible in these shots but that doesn't confirm its presence or absence.
 
The phone will also have squeeze functionality similar to the HTC U11's Edge Sense. This will let you squeeze the phone from sides and access functions, such as Google Assistant.

Android Police does reiterate that this is not the final design and some things could change between now and the release date later this year. Also, this might not apply to the smaller model, which could have a different design.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
