Carphone Warehouse leaks full Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL specs
Google is on the verge of launching the Pixel and Pixel XL, but no launch would be complete without its share of leaks. This time around the slipup comes courtesy of UK retailer Carphone Warehouse which posted details of Google's upcoming phones, complete with photos and full specs.
The same mistake was made by Canada's Bell, effectively confirming the specifications which thus far have only been rumors. The listings not only reveal what we can expect in terms of hardware, but also show that Google is going to offer free, unlimited photo backups at full resolution for Pixel owners.
Of course, it is possible that between now and tomorrow's official announcement that things will change, but that's not particularly likely. That said, Carphone Warehouse's listings indicate that both the Pixel and Pixel XL feature microSD slots, which would be interesting if it turns out to be true, and something of a change of direction for Google. Another thing we also don't yet know is pricing.
The specs for the Google Pixel are:
- 2.15GHz Snapdragon 821 CPU
- 4GB RAM
- 32GB or 128GB storage
- 5-inch 1080p AMOLED with Gorilla Glass 4

- 8MP front camera
- 12MP rear cameras
- Fingerprint sensor
- Android 7.1

- 143.8 x 69.5 x 8.6mm
