We know quite a lot about Pixel 2 - it's nearly sure, that phone will be produced by LG or HTC, and we know a bit about its specification. We should expect, that new Google's phone will have Snapdragon 835 processor produced by Qualcomm, 4GB of RAM, 12mpx solo camera on back with bokeh option which imitates the blur effect known from dual camera setup, but that's not the end of news about this phone, because today appeared new information about features used in Pixel 2.

Pixel 2 won't have classical slot for SIM card. Instead of this Google plans to use eSIM card built into the device which will collect information about profile of user and there will be option of updating this profile by the Internet. Pixel 2 will also have always-on song recognition mode, which will work similar to Shazam app, so users will have option of song's recognition directly by using their phones without necessity of downloading apps from the Google Play Store.
