Rumored Google Pixel 2 (Taimen & Walleye) Specs Are Here. Great?

Last year’s Pixel devices are still among the best Android smartphones that you can buy right now. It was 2016 when Google ditched its much popular ‘Nexus’ lineup of smartphones and started a new series of phones that are ‘Made by Google.’  With last year’s Pixel and Pixel XL, there were mixed reactions from the Android lovers. No, there wasn’t any issue regarding the software, but the design was not that great. Some users didn’t like that empty chin on the front and the odd glass and metal design on the back. Anyways, 2017 is turning out to be the year of great phones, and we have already seen the Galaxy S8 and S8+, which are undoubtedly the most beautiful devices of this year.
