Google Allegedly planning a 'super Pixel' handset to to take on Apple's iPhone 8

The head of hardware at Google has confirmed that the firm is developing a second-generation Pixel for the allegedly ‘premium smartphone market’. It is believed that the 'Pixel 2' could launch this fall
The confirmation comes from Rick Osterloh during an interview with AndroidPT.

‘There is an annual rhythm in the industry,’ Osterloh said in the interview.
‘So, you can count on us to follow it’
‘You can count on a successor this year, even if you don't hear a date from me now.

Although the Pixel 2 is planned to be release around the same time as the iPhone 8, Google is however focusing on the upper price segment of the market.

The confirmation comes from Rick Osterloh during an interview with AndroidPT. Google’s second-generation phone (pictured is the original Pixel) would go head-to-head with Apple’s launch of its rumored iPhone 7s and highly-anticipated iPhone 8

Osterloh stated that ‘Pixel stays premium’ and the firm will ‘leave lower price segments to other manufacturers’.

The firm launched the Pixel line around the same time as the iPhone 7 was revealed.

'We believe the next big thing will be at the intersection of hardware and software,’ Osterloh said in October. And he also took aim at Apple, saying the phone has 'no unsightly phone bump'.

Brian Rakowski of Google said the phone was 'designed inside and out to be smart'.
He said the Pixel's new camera was better than the iPhone 7.
'It's the best smartphone camera anyone has made,' he said.
