Google Pixel 2 details leaked, and Twitterati can't handle it
Google might ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in the Pixel successors.

Philadelphia-based reporter Evan Blass and Steve Hemmerstoffer tweeted about the new look and features of the smartphone. And consequently, people went into a spin, both raving and ranting on Twitter.
I think "Pixel 2 XL" will be much better& so they just created this phone to make it a Budget Phon.

I bet they will ship a USB C headset

Those bezzels are HUGE!

Yup. But at least there are 2 front facing speakers. The Nexus 6P had huge bezels too but no one cared because of the speakers in them.

Wait what? P2 and P2XL have the same back but with camera/LED swapped?

Oh Jesus Christ looks like there doing the bezels even bigger what the hell is wrong with these designers at Google

Just got another tip that Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will both ditch the headphone jack. In case you needed further confirmation.

In another leak, GSMArena revealed two pictures of the phones from an anonymous source, showing a black exterior and a glass panel.
Also, not too long ago, Google had mocked Apple for its lack of a headphone jack. But, if these leaks turn out to be true, the Internet giant will be following in the iPhone-maker's footsteps by ditching the 3.5mm jack.
It's really not that difficult to come up with on your own

They mocked Apple for lack of headphone jack last year, now they're following suit. Sometimes just keep your mouth shut🤷♂️

would be a stupid own goal. Needlessly drops a key differentiator to iPhone, was even a key part of its Pixel marketing mocking Apple... pic.twitter.com/cGDuvZjwLp

Google plans to launch Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 this year around September or October.
