Smartphone Pixel XL 2, also known under the code name Walleye apparently already being tested by David Zoltanom (David Zeuthen), chief engineer-programmer at Google. As evidence is the screenshot of the project on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project), which stated that Zeuthen is testing a new, perhaps part of the Android O, the device is “walleye”.
At the conference for developers Google I/O 2017, which will be held in mountain view (CA) from 17 to 19 may, is expected to be stronger demonstration of the capabilities of Android O, but the appearance of the new device all the same is unlikely.
We will remind, the next generation of smartphone Google Pixel get code names Walleye (Zander svetlomety) and Muskie (Northern pike-muskellunge). Such “fish” code names is in the spirit of the brand smartphones Google. So, from Pixel and Pixel XL called Marlin (Marlin) and Sailfish (sailboat, also fish), and 5X Nexus and Nexus 6P — Bullhead (species of catfish) and Angler (monkfish).
At the moment the technical details about the next Pixel is known not too much. But Rick Osterloh (Rick Osterloh), Vice-President of Google’s hardware direction, confirmed that smartphones remain the top and will not slide in the budget segment.

It is also expected top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 835. Estimated price for Pixel 2 is predicted at $ 50 higher than the original, which is the Junior model may be priced at $699.
