Alleged Google Pixel XL (2017) design revealed: Thin bezels are in

Android Police is "exceptionally confident" that the renders below reveal the overall design of the upcoming Pixel XL, although the final look might ultimately differ in some subtle ways.
Apparently, the new handset's 6-inch display has a 2:1 aspect ratio (à la LG G6), and thin bezels all around. While the display itself is flat, the glass covering it seems to have pretty pronounced curves on the right and left sides.
Interestingly, Android Police notes that this new 6-inch Pixel could feature a touch-sensitive, squeezable frame - akin to HTC's Edge Sense that debuted on the HTC U11 a few months back. Thanks to this, users should be able to squeeze the phone in order to interact with some of its functions, including Google Assistant. It remains to be seen how well this will be implemented.

All in all, the new Pixel XL appears to be a phone designed to compete with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6, and Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 (which, like the S8 and G6, is expected to sport a near-bezel-less screen).
Google will probably announce its new family of Pixel phones sometime in October. We're certainly excited to discover what novelties these handsets will bring. What about you?
