Therefore, the company has introduced Google Pixel and Pixel XL by utilizing the scratch and has introduced the high-quality camera. And now after making more development in the Pixel phones, the company plan to introduce a second generation Pixel.
Osterloh said:
“There is an annual rhythm in the industry. So, you can count on us to follow it. You can count on a successor this year, even if you don’t hear a date from me now.”
However, rumors were there indicating that the Pixel 2 will be having the features including water resistance, better camera, and faster processor. It was also rumored that Google had been planning to test the budget version of Pixel named as “Pixel 2B”.
But, if the company is planning to create the budget phone then it won’t using Pixel name to manufacture the phones then it will be choosing a new name for the new model because Pixel category does not lie in Budget phones.
