Hey, what's up guys, Sal here and welcome back to the TechTalkTV. Are you hoping for a bezel-free Google Pixel 2 smartphone that mimics its all-screen rivals? I've got some bad news for you. This year, we've seen a clear trend of smartphones ditching the humble bezel. Flagship handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone X have been dominated by the screen, signaling a futuristic design trend that's only going to become more popular in the next few years. It was originally believed that Google would follow suit with the upcoming Pixel 2, but that might not be the case. An image has been posted to SlashLeaks that depicts what's claimed to be protective covers for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.
What's striking is that the phones appear to have radically differing designs. The Google Pixel 2 XL cover looks very familiar to other bezel-free phones we've seen this year, including the LG V30 and Galaxy Note 8. But the Pixel 2 cover seems to have huge bezels, even bigger than last year's original Pixel. This could be bad news for Google; with so many phone makers having now adopted all-screen front designs, the Google Pixel 2 runs the risk of seeming outdated right out of the gate, aesthetically, anyway. There was a recent rumor to suggest that a third Pixel handset could be announced called the Ultra Pixel.
Given that we have heard rumors in the past to suggest that Google had 3 Pixel phones in the works, it seemed like it made sense. However as it turns out the Ultra Pixel has since been confirmed to be nothing more than a hoax, or rather it was an elaborate setup by YouTuber Breccia to try and get Google to pay attention to his work in order to get hired. The video is hilarious, to be honest, and I'll definitely advise you to check that out. So that said, let me know your thoughts and I'll see you guys in the next one... peace.
