In recent years, much has been said about the possibility of Apple launching a cheap iPhone, a device that, as we have seen has never come. According to a large number of rumors, the Cupertino-based company is planning to introduce an inexpensive iPhone, something that probably will not happen, as it does every year, but it seems that Google will.
Now that Google has gotten fully into the design and manufacture of its own smartphones, the search company could launch this year and a new Pixel model, a model that would be oriented to the mid-range, in addition to obviously sticking with the Pixel and Pixel XL series. This inexpensive Pixel, or whatever it is finally called, would be managed by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 710.
At the moment, we do not know the possible specifications that this terminal can bring us, but it is most likely that it follows the market trend and offers us a 5,5 - 6 inch screen with 18: 9 format, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Inside, Google will include Pure Android, without any layer of customization, so it will be among the first to receive the updates launched by the search giant.
According to the rumors that point to this launch, coming from very solvent sources, the launch of the economic Pixel would be scheduled for the beginning of next year, So in October, we will only see the third generation of the Pixel and Pixel XL, terminals that will hit the market with the latest Qualcomm processor available on the market.
The performance tests of the Snapdragon 710 show us features that go beyond the mid-range and bring it closer to a high-range. This processor is managed by 8 cores based on the Kryo 300 architecture, has an Adreno 616 GPU and is optimized to perform machine learning and artificial intelligence tasks.
If Google wants to expand the number of devices it sells each year, and thus be able to become an option for many users who follow yearning for the Nexus rangeThis would be a very interesting move by the company and one that would bring it closer to the users that it abandoned when it adopted the new Pixel name.
