Verizon hops on the 'Pixel leak' bandwagon as well
After a couple of Canadian carriers and a British retailer, now Verizon has also leaked Google's soon-to-be-unveiled Pixel smartphones.
Aside from what we already know, Verizon's listings for both Pixel and Pixel XL - that have apparently been removed now - reveal something called 'Google Magic' as well as a new color option for the handsets.
While there's no official information on exactly what 'Google Magic' is, reports say it could be a new software feature related to Google Assistant. Or, it could be a marketing gimmick as well.
Moving on, Verizon's listings for the Pixel and the Pixel XL also reveal a blue color option in addition to the silver and black options we've already seen in previous leaks.
Meanwhile, the usually reliable leakster Evan Blass - who goes by the handle @evleaks on Twitter - has leaked the blue and silver variants of the Verizon-branded Pixel and Pixel XL models.

For those who aren't aware, both the Pixel phones are scheduled to be officially unveiled later today.

Price will be the success factor.If it starts around £300 and ending at £390(128gb version) for the Pixel,and £390 for the XL than they will sell as hotcakes. Otherwise just simply not a good buy!
