The Google event which will see the launch of the Pixel and Pixel XL handsets is scheduled for tonight, but details about these phones are leaking all over the internet. The latest leak is from US telecom giant Verizon, which had accidentally posted the product page of the Pixel and Pixel XL.

While most of the hardware details of the Pixel and Pixel XL are pretty much known by now, the Verizon listing had a feature listing which mentioned something called
‘Google Magic‘. No details are out yet on what this feature is exactly. Online speculations point to a more powerful version of Google Now or a completely new eco-system. Your guess is as good as ours.
Since taken down, the Verizon listing showed three colour options and two storage variants (32GB and 128GB). It confirms what is already known in terms of specifications: 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display for Pixel and 1440p AMOLED display for the PixelXL; 32GB and 128GB storage variants; Google Assistant and more. It also shows a blue coloured handset, which is more clearly seen below.
Prolific tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) also tweeted out photographs of what seems like a blue variant of the Pixel and Pixel XL. The colours are officially called Quite Silver and Really Blue. These images are keeping in line with the other leaks we have seen from Android Police. The Pixel phones show antenna lines n the top and bottom on the rear side, a finger-print scanner in the top half and a ‘G’ logo.
