The latest renders of the HTC built Pixel XL (aka the Nexus Marlin) show the device wearing a clear TPC case. The phone is expected to be made official on October 4th along with the smaller screened Pixel (or Nexus Sailfish). The Pixel XL is expected to feature a 5.5-inch display with a 1440 x 2560 resolution screen. The Snapdragon 820 chipset will be under the hood, with a quad-core CPU and the Adreno 530 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside and a 12MP camera will be found on the back of the phone.

We've seen a number of images showing off the Pixel XL and the Pixel. Both models feature a rear mounted fingerprint scanner under the camera, and a two tone design on the back of the handset. You might notice the Google "G" logo on the bottom of the back. So far, that is the only branding that we've seen on images of either phone to date.

The latest leaks indicate that the Pixel and Pixel XL will both launch with Android 7.1 pre-installed. You can check out the latest images of the Pixel XL by clicking on the slideshow below.
