The new Google terminal, called Pixel XL (and previously known as Nexus Marlin) will hit the market on October 4 surrounded by expectations. But a little more than a month before its launch, very little is the information that the Californian company is dropping on the matter.
In fact, it is through different smartphone testing platforms (such as Geekbench) and thanks to the interest and attention of many users, the way we are learning the technical specifications of the next Google phone. This time it is a performance test carried out in the Geekbench app that has leaked some of the data from the Pixel XL.
According to the application listing, we can confirm that the phone will bring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and a four-gigabyte RAM. According to this test, the Google Pixel XL comes with Android NMR1 (with which we could extract that it will incorporate the latest version of Android - Nougat 7.0). Information that joins another supposed test published a few weeks ago (this time in AnTuTu) by which it was extracted that the battery of the Pixel XL (Marlin) would be 3,450 mAh. Its five - inch screen and a half offers a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. The quality of its front and rear cameras is eight and thirteen megapixels respectively.
A premium mid-range phablet
As we can conclude from the information leaked in this test in the Geekbench application, the characteristics and functions of the Google Pixel XL would be on the border between high-end and mid-range: An acceptable front camera for taking selfies; a very average rear camera; a processor typical of cutting-edge equipment and a resolution that it shares with models such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 or the LG G5. Of course, its battery of almost 3,500 milliamps / hour shines above the rest of the functionalities.
What's new in your software
The Android Authority has revealed three new specific functions for Google Nexus terminals. One of them is the so-called night light, which comes to replace the night mode but according to various sources it is causing some technical problems (especially by eliminating the blue pixels during its operation).
A double window in the settings section is another of the novelties presented by the support of Google's Nexus range. A faster and more intuitive way to navigate through the Android settings, without having to constantly go back and forth as we usually have.
The third development, which has already been implemented in some models, is called ambient display (also called quick screen check. A very interesting feature that check notifications by simply doing a double tap on the screen. So The notification center will be automatically displayed where we can see the time, the latest WhatsApp messages and conversations, etc. With a very low battery consumption.
