On Geekbench, a listing under the name of Foxconn Pixel 2 XL comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor and is backed by 6GB of RAM. Various media reports suggest that this smartphone could be the mid-range Lite Pixel variant by Google.
However, we should also mention that this defies the report that suggested that Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL smartphones will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 670 processor and not have as much as 6GB of RAM. It is also worth noticing that the names of the smartphones have not been confirmed as yet.
Coming back to the listing, with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 710 SoC, Google’s upcoming smartphone would be more affordable than the current Pixel models, and the plus point is that we’ll get this without compromising too much on the processing power of the device. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 710 is primarily used in mid-range handsets like the Nokia 8.1 Plus. However, what is interesting is that in spite of the smartphone being powered by a processor that is not as high-end as the one that powers the current Pixel devices, the upcoming smartphone will come with a bigger RAM. While the current Pixel smartphones have 4GB of RAM, the upcoming handset is shown to have 6GB of RAM. The Geekbench listing also shows the single-core and multi-core scores of the smartphone, which are 1805 and 5790 respectively. We should also mention that Foxconn, which is best known for manufacturing iPhones, is handling the production of Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones. If this listing is indeed correct, we expect Foxconn to even produce the upcoming Pixel smartphone by Google.
