Here's everything we know about Google's upcoming 'Pixel' smartphones

According to Android Police, Google will ditch the "Nexus" moniker and will use the Pixel name the company has used for its home-built tablet and Chromebooks.

Apparently, the smaller model will simply be called "Pixel," and the larger model will be called "Pixel XL."

Google commissioned LG and Huawei to make the Nexus 5X and 6P, and it seems like it might keep Huawei for a second inning on the Pixel smartphones.

HTC is also said to manufacture one of the smartphones, but it's still unclear which of the two differently-sized models either company will make.

Android Authority believes the smaller Pixel model will be made of aluminum and glass.

Most rumors claim the new Pixel smartphones will run on the Snapdragon 820 processor, which is no slouch.

However, others are saying they'll run on Qualcomm's recently-announced the Snapdragon 821 processors, which are upgraded versions of the 820.

According to LlabTooFeR, the new Pixel smartphones will have a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 8-megapixel front-facing cameras.

Benchmark results obtained by gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer suggest the larger Pixel XL will have a super-shark 2K screen.

Google's smaller Pixel smartphone will supposedly have a regular 1080p screen.

While Apple ditched the headphone jack in the name of "courage," Google is apparently sticking with the good ol' headphone jack for its upcoming Pixel smartphones.

Google is reportedly continuing to phase out microUSB and keeping USB-C for its upcoming Pixel smartphones.

You don't need a rumor to believe that Google will include the latest version of its own operating system, called Android 7.0 Nougat, in its own smartphones.

Rumors suggest Google would announce the new Pixel smartphones on October 4 and release them on October 20.
