The first 3D renders of the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 have been released. While quite a bit of information on Google's upcoming handsets have leaked already, the CAD models do clear up certain design elements: for one, it seems that the Pixel line will indeed drop the 3.5mm headphone jack. The smaller Pixel will also be getting an updated design in line with its bigger brother, dispelling earlier rumors that it would remain largely unchanged from the original. The phones feature considerably less bezel compared to the Pixel and the Pixel XL. There is no dual camera setup, and the fingerprint scanner continues to be on the rear panel. While these renders are in black, Google is reportedly considering several color options for both the devices. And lastly, there is no headphone port! The phones are also said to be one of the first devices to use Qualcomm's upcoming chipset, the Snapdragon 836, which would be a slight improvement over the current Snapdragon 835 chipset. The Google Pixel 2 and the Pixel XL 2 could go official later this year with Android 8.0.
