New Google Pixel 2 leak: The headphone jack is gone

Google's Pixel smartphone was one of the best phones of last year, and the company has already confirmed that its successor would come this year. As the launch date approaches, we are getting a better image of the phone.

We recently learned that the Pixel 2 should be the first phone to feature Qualcomm's yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 836 platform. We saw the same scenario last year when Qualcomm debuted the Snapdragon 821 with Google's Pixel.

Now, a new video has emerged showing Pixel 2, and Pixel 2 XL renders based on rumored design on dimensions.

One of the first things that you'll notice is the absence of the 3.5mm headphone jack. We first heard about this in March when an internal Google document leaked which mentioned that the company decided to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The fingerprint sensor should remain on the back of the phone, and it seems that Google has no plans to introduce a dual camera setup.

We recently learned that LG will be making the upcoming Google Pixel XL 2 smartphone and that it should feature a "squeezable" frame that activates Google Assistant. This feature would be similar to HTC's Edge Sense introduced with its latest flagship, the U11.
