Jumping the gun on an October 4 official release date, Canadian retailer Carphone Warehouse posted technical specs and photos of the new Google Pixel phone to its website over the weekend. Although CNet reports that the company took the information down quickly, it was not before people had noticed, and, this being the internet, shared it widely.
Much like Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the releases of which were also preempted by several leaks, Google is simultaneously putting out two versions of the phone. According to BGR's read of the specs, the Pixel and Pixel XL will mainly be differentiated by their sizes, and will share many of the same internal components.
"Specs that are the same in both new phones include a 2.15GHz 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB/128GB storage, 12.3-megapixel camera (f/2.0, 1.55um pixels and optical image stabilization), 8-megapixel front camera, fingerprint scanner, USB-C support and NFC," BRG tells us. "Both phones will run Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box, with Google Assistant and unlimited Google Photos storage."
And yes, these smartphones will have headphone jacks.
The phones also appear to have a prominent "G" branding on the back (screenshots of which are below), suggesting the manufacturer doesn't want you to think of these as Alphabet phones.
Google has so far declined to comment on the authenticity of the leak, and the intentionally vague Pixel website remains unchanged.
