Assuming Google is working on a yearly cadence, we're about three months out from a release of the second Google Pixel. That means we're getting into proper leak territory, and, as usual, Android Police is giving us our first look at Google's latest flagship.

The new render represents a second-generation Pixel XL, previously outed as an LG-built device with the codename "Taimen." Both Android Police's report and previous rumors expect the largest "Taimen" device to be a departure from last year's design, with the smaller Pixel 2 (codenamed "Walleye") to have a more conservative layout.
From the front, Pixel XL 2 looks like every other Android phone released this year: the bezels are slimmed down (fixing one of the Pixel's biggest downsides), and the corners of the screen are rounded. It's not surprising that the front of this LG-built phone looks a lot like an LG G6, just with the LG logo scraped off and a wider earpiece grill attached. Unlike the G6, the display is a 6-inch AMOLED display made by LG, which will be a big change from the G6's 5.7-inch LCD. As is standard for 2017 (unless you are HTC), this display has an extra-tall aspect ratio, 2:1 in this case.
There was no word in the report about a 3.5 mm headphone jack, or lack thereof. Android Police’s David Ruddock said on Twitter that Google is considering some “interesting” color options for the next Pixel phones, without telling us what they are, so we’ll just leave it at that.
