Alright Guys! There's no denying the fact that Google has already started working on next generation Pixel Smartphones. Already there are couple of leaks speculating the design of the phones.

As revealed by our favorite Roland Quandt of Winfuture, the company is also working on a Mid Range Pixel Smartphone with Snapdragon 710.

The recently announced Snapdragon 710 features, Multicore AI Engine, Adreno 616 GPU, and Kryo 360 CPU. It is better than any Snapdragon 600 series SoC and shares more features with the Snapdragon 800 series.

It is  not the first time we're hearing about the Pixel Mini or Mid Range Pixel Smartphone. Just a few months back Economictimes reported that Google is working on a new mid-range smartphone specially for Indian markets.

Roland says that the company is planning to launch it in the 1st half of 2019, that's actually a long way to go.

We'll be getting the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL this October, and definately we're going to see more leaks about the Mini Pixel. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter page to get the first News.
