Pixel 2 specs leak: Don’t count on a headphone jack
Pixel 2 specs leak: Don’t count on a headphone jack:-Google will announce its next-generation Pixel phones next week on Oct. 4. Quite a few leaks paint an unofficial picture of what features we’re likely to get in the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. A headphone jack is not one of them, Android Authority reports.
While at least one CNET editor won’t buy the Pixel 2 without a headphone jack, they’re on the way out, with more phone makers removing them — including Apple. Instead popping in wired headphones or earbuds, phones without jacks require you to use a converter dongle, or else use wireless headphones. Because the converter dongle uses the charger port, you wouldn’t be able to charge the phone while using a wired headset simultaneous.
Android Authority cites an source and an internal document for the report’s information. Still, take this with a grain of salt. CNET wasn’t able to independently verify the info and Google did not respond to a request for comment.
Here are some other rumors. The Pixel 2 phones are reported to use dual-stereo speakers in lieu of the headphone jack. The larger Pixel 2 XL may have an 80 to 85 percent screen-to-body ratio (the Note 8 is roughly 83 percent), and the front and rear cameras could take better images but won’t be dual camera.
Some rumored Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL specs:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip (contrary to some rumors)
- 64GB and 128GB storage options
- IP67 dust and water resistance
- A squeezable “Active Edge” feature like on the HTC U11
- An E-SIM card slot allowing you to connect to different networks without swapping SIM cards
The Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL are said to have different battery capacities (3,520mAh in the Pixel 2 XL versus. 2,700mAh for the Pixel 2) and a QHD display (2K resolution) on the Pixel 2 XL, versus a FHD display (1080p resolution) on the Pixel 2.
