Google’s next Pixel might look a lot like the old one
Google is likely going to reveal a new Pixel and Pixel XL in the coming months. We’ve already seen an image of the rumored Pixel XL, codenamed Taimen, and now, we’re getting a peek at the smaller Pixel follow-up, codenamed Walleye.

While it’s slightly grainy, we can see that the device includes prominent bezels. This is a noticeable rejection of this year’s trend toward nearly edge-to-edge screens. See Samsung’s Galaxy S8, its rumored Note 8, and the rumored iPhone 8 as examples.
Maybe Google feels it doesn’t need that trendy…
