The Google Pixel phones passed through Geekbench  for certification, and some potential cases also showed up, even screen panels.

From the information seeping into our ears (and eyes) at Pulse Tech is that the new Google Pixel will be powered by Qualcomm'sSnapdragon 820 chipsets (a brand-new second revision version) with 4GB of RAM.

Strangely, the OS that will power the new Google Pixel is listed an Android Nougat 7.1 which means that the new Google Pixel smartphones will have a new minor update of Nougat, Google's latest Android mobile OS.

True to tradition, the new Google Pixel smartphones will not be built by Google - HTC has been given the task of crafting Google's next battle instrument in the smartphone war.

That aside, the new Google Pixel will be available in two versions - US and International. The International models (which are the ones you will most likely buy) do not include CDMA connectivity, and slightly different LTE brands.

The leaked cases for both the 5.2-inch Pixel and 5.5-inch Pixel XL have a sizeably wide hole for the camera, but none of the leaks so far have suggested the possibility of a dual setup camera.

Pulse Tech will keep you updated on new information regarding the new Google Pixel smartphones as we get them.
