Just when we thought there couldn't be more leaks about the Google Pixel and Pixel XL coming our way - after all, Carphone Warehouse leaked the specs, and Verizon leaked the design - a serial leakster from the ranks of Evan Blass revealed... an awesome blue color scheme that is coming our way with the new Nexus, oops, Pixel phones.

The Verizon leak hinted that there will be a blue Pixel version, but the product listing on its website was illustrated with the silver variant that we've seen numerous times already, together with a black model. That blue might be Verizon-exclusive, given that we'd never seen it until the carrier leak, and it also hints that, for the first time in ages, we will have a full suite of Google-made phones on America's largest carrier.

The demise of the Nexus line might be the start of a beautiful carrier relationship, which is a prerequisite for a phone to be successful in the world's most visible and talked about handset market, so the Pixel line might be unlike anything we've seen so far by Google. Also, the blue one looks like honor 8 sans the second camera, and not just because of the color, what do you think?
