This is what Google's 2017 Pixel XL will look like in Very Silver

 By Vaibhav Jain on July 12, 2017       

Earlier today, we saw our first potential look of what the 2017 Google Pixel XL will look like. Now Benjamin Geskin (@VenyaGeskin1) has created another concept render of this device in Very Silver color.

The render do looks stunning and is on par with previous leaked renders. As you can see in the below render the device is having similar rear design as the current Pixel phones with a two-tone glass and metal finish, though the glass window is located near the top and no longer encloses the fingerprint scanner. On the bottom, a Google “G” is present, but it is unknown if that will remain on the final design.

According to the leaked information, the device will feature a 6-inch LG-made AMOLED display with a 2:1 ratio. Additionally, the Google Pixel XL 2017 might feature a squeezy side, just like we have seen on the HTC U11, which will allow you to interact with the phone, primarily when using Google Assistant.

Earlier rumors says that the Pixel XL device "taimen" will feature a 5.99-inch display (tiny bezels) with a 1440p OLED panel provided by LG, Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Do share your initial thoughts on the design below.

Google is planning to announce new Pixel devices for 2017 later this year, a render has hit the web, giving us our first potential look at what the 2017 Pixel XL will look like.

It is believed that Google will release two Pixel Smartphones (walleye and taimen), but is being reported that both the devices will be having different design and specs.

The below and above image comes from Android Police, who created the 2017 Pixel XL render based on information they gathered from an undisclosed source. According to them, below image portrays what we should expect from Google this year.

As you can see that the device is having similar rear design as the current Pixel phones with a two-tone glass and metal finish, though the glass window is located near the top and no longer encloses the fingerprint scanner. Unlike OnePlus 5, Xiaomi Mi6 or iPhone 7 Plus, the device will feature a single camera with dual LED flash. On the bottom, a Google “G” is present, but it is unknown if that will remain on the final design.

To the front we will be having a 6-inch LG-made AMOLED display with a 2:1 ratio, which looks beautiful. Additionally, the Google Pixel XL 2017 might feature a squeezy side, just like we have seen on the HTC U11, which will allow you to interact with the phone, primarily when using Google Assistant.

Earlier rumors says that the Pixel XL device "taimen" will feature a 5.99-inch display (tiny bezels) with a 1440p OLED panel provided by LG, Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Do share your initial thoughts on the design below.

Motorola rolls out June 2017 Android Security patch for the Moto G4 Plus in India

 By Vaibhav Jain on July 11, 2017       

Motorola is now pushing a new software update for the Moto G4 Plus in India with Build no. NPJS25.93-14-8 and it comes with the latest security patch. It weighs in at around 55MB.

The update only contains June 2017 security patch, and it doesn't bring any new features whatsoever. While this update would have been more exciting if it had brought Nougat 7.1.1, which is already available for few Moto devices.

The update is already rolling out to the users of  Moto G4 Plus in India. If you did not receive the update wait for few days or try checking for it manually by heading over to system updates section in the Settings app.

Motorola’s instructions explain that for a successful installation, the battery in your phone should be at least 50% charged and your device should be connected to a Wi-Fi network or LTE.
