It seems as if Google just released its first-ever Pixel smartphone last week, but in fact the smartphone has been available for several months now. Meanwhile, early rumors have begun to circulate pertaining to an unconfirmed Google Pixel successor, Google Pixel 2.

It’s a bit early to start making predictions, so do take the following with a pitch of salt.

According to sources, rumors are floating around about what Google could bring to the table with a possible Pixel phone successor for 2017, Pixel 2. As of right now, there’s no proof or even any early indication depicting the possibility of a Pixel 2 smartphone. Although, it seems very just, as there has clearly been high demand for Google’s first smartphone iteration. In fact, Pixel is so difficult to find, many are unfamiliar with its already established presence on the market. So the question is, why not release a Google Pixel 2?

Early rumors have been reported first to 9to5Google, who states that the Google Pixel 2 will bring about a higher IP rating against water and dust as well as a faster processor. The report also indicates that Google has been working hard to improve in the camera department even further, taking low-light photography to the next level. As we know so well, MPs are aren’t everything when it comes to image-quality. Google has mastered this and made its point clear with Pixel. We hope the company wows us again with its software implementations, shall they release a second-generation Pixel smartphone this year.

There has been one last rumor floating around that Google will, this year, release two Pixel smartphones, one of higher specs than the other. Pixel 2B could launch alongside Pixel 2 with less powerful specs and thus a “significantly lower price tag.” It’s also said possible that this model will be made available exclusively in emerging markets, such as those with Android One.
