Here are some of the notable points from the leaked specs. The devices will reportedly run on Android 7.1 Nougat, and more importantly, they will come with a microSD card slot for expandable memory, this is something which we doubt is actually happening.  The Pixel XL sports a Quad HD display, while the Pixel sports a Full HD display with a smaller battery. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the Pixel XL will come with fast charging.

There is no mention about the USB Type C connector, but we have seen it in previous leaks. The presence of the 3.5mm audio jack is reassuring thought. There have been rumours about the Nexus line up being retained as well.

We will know for sure, when Google unveils the Pixel and Pixel XL tomorrow.
