The Pixel 2 has bigger bezels and look similar. The Pixel XL 2 will have the bezelless design

Yeah. Android Police have stated they are almost certain he Pixel XL 2 is going to look like this
I am just unsure on the price.
Pixel 2 XL, is supposedly to look like a better Nexus 6P, which in my opinion is one of the best designed and beautiful Nexus phones ever.
It will be tall and long, with stereo speakers on top and bottom, and have a refined better design but also close to the 6P.

I don't think that Google has anything to worry about.
This year, the iPhone X is only catching up, no?@JaySoul made mention of Google's computational capabilities in photography and he is spot on. Did you happen to see this experiment that Florian Kainz from Google did April this year?

The pictures below were taken with a Nexus 6P.
Is that insane or what? If you check out the blog post, you can see even more examples, with links to the full resolution files.
Near the bottom of the blog post, you have this disclaimer; but if you ask me, it's a possible preview of what's to come:
certainly an improvement on last years then. Less bezels was needed. Will the screen size be bigger i'm guessing
Wish the smaller Pixel were going to have comparable bezels.Yeah. Android Police have stated they are almost certain he Pixel XL 2 is going to look like this
I am just unsure on the price.
The unfortunate rumors of the smaller Pixel 2 have really tanked my excitement for this phone.
Still looking forward to Oct 4th. And yeah, the Pixel 2 XL looks like it should be nice -- almost like it's the spiritual successor to the Nexus 6P.

Has me ready to stick with Samsung and upgrade to the S8. Had been hoping to try out the Pixel this time around, but not looking likely assuming rumors are true.
October 4th?!
So that should give Google enough time to manufacture the 12 devices that they'll be allocating to Europe for sale before they then abandon production entirely until the Pixel 3 gets made.
Maybe, if they only allot 3 engineers 4 phones each it will be close.

Wow, they got my money.
I just hope I can get one on launch day. I've been waiting a year for this, ever since the original launched. I'm craving a new phone experience.
I can't wait to see what kind of pricing Google will make the Pixel 2's, especially the regular one that is supposedly only getting modest redesigns.
Me too. My wife kind of nixed it, though. My plan is to review what Apple does next year and potentially switch to the pixel after that
Finally, an actual look at the Pixel XL 2?
I'm not sure about the white version...

"The LG-made Pixel 2 XL will come in a “Black & White” colorway (pictured above) that might be the hottest panda colorway we’ve ever seen. The phone will also arrive in “Just Black,” and be available with 64GB or 128GB storage. The 64GB model will cost $849, while the 128GB model will jump to $949."

Ooooh! Good find! That black and white is pretty slick. It'll set it apart from the competition, IMO. I personally preferred the silver/white finish of the original Pixel/Pixel XL, but that's not too bad.
Am I the only one seeing that orange wake/lock button on the white model? Um, wut?
-- edit --
Also, why aren't these leaks showing us the front? Probably because no one has actually gotten their hands on the device. Most leaks that we've seen so far are just mockup designs, anyway. Nothing 100% real. Show us the front, darn it!
-- double edit! --
Those prices. Google, come on.
Wow at that price!
$849 for 64
$949 for 128
That is beyond ridiculous with all these near $1,000 phones in 2017!

I saw that wake/lock button. very interesting, indeed. It does stand out from the crowd, which is nice.
$850 starting price for a stock Google phone WTF? The Nexus 6P was $499 at launch, and it was every bit the flagship for it's time, matching what the other big name manufactures were releasing, but they were at much higher prices, where the Nexus 6P was a good 1/3rd cheaper, but same flagship hardware inside, and same high end build quality.
This is a bad trend, smartphones creeping into the $1,000 range.

$849?
What in the world is Google smoking? Cause that is high.
