Google is gearing up for its October 4 event where it is widely expected to take wraps off the new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. The company has already started sending out media invites for the same. It has also put up a Made by Google micro site with a small teaser video.

Shared by AndroidPolice, both the Pixel and Pixel XL are wrapped in metal frame. The front panel shows the selfie camera, proximity sensor and earpiece above the display, and thick bezels on the sides. The power / sleep button and volume rockers are placed on the right edge. Turn to the back and you can see the lower half covered with metal and top half covered with glass. The camera sensor and LED flash are placed on the top left corner, whereas the fingerprint scanner is placed between. The lower section of the rear has antenna lines, which reminds us of HTC s One A9.

The Pixel smartphone was also spotted in Alphabet subsidiary Nest s TV commercial in the Netherlands, and it looks exactly the same as we ve seen in the leaks.

Citing sources, the publication also mentioned that the price of the Google Pixel is likely to start at $649 (approximately Rs 43,510), which is same as the starting price of iPhone 7 in the US.
