Google Pixel 2 enters the battle with iPhone X and iPhone 8, the American FCC authorities confirming today the new mobile phone from Google through a certification made for it. The FCC is the American authority to which all wireless devices sold in the USA must pass, and the Google Pixel 2 was sent by the Google company for certification before being officially presented and put on sale.
Google Pixel 2 arrived at the FCC just two days after the iPhone X and iPhone 8 were officially presented, a sign that Google is not playing around and wants its phone to be in the attention of the global media. In days when the iPhone X and iPhone 8 are in everyone's attention, those from Google are trying to "take the head out of the crowd" and show that the Google Pixel 2 is to be announced soon and can be an alternative to Apple phones.
The Google Pixel 2 XL was sent by Google for certification to the FCC, it being produced by the Koreans from LG for those in Mountain View this year. The Google Pixel 2 was certified a month ago, along with the fact that it is manufactured by HTC, so now it's the turn of the Google Pixel 2 XL to go through the verification, but even after the iPhone X and iPhone 8 were officially presented by Apple.
Google Pixel 2 Enters the Fight with iPhone X and iPhone 8
Google Pixel 2 XL has the identification number G011C, this being revealed for the first time a few months ago when it was said that LG is going to produce it. Too many details about the Google Pixel 2 XL are not disclosed by the FCC, they mainly focus on the GSM, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support of the devices, and here there are no problems, or anything to make the world forget of iPhone X or iPhone 8.
Google Pixel 2 has never been seen as a phone with which the Googlers can fight with models like iPhone 8 or iPhone X, so its positioning in this way is interesting. How much success Google will have with a Google Pixel 2 phone that fights with the iPhone X or iPhone 8 is hard to say, but it will be interesting to see what kind of sales the phone could generate after the official launch.
Google Pixel 2 will be presented in October by Google, so after the launch of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, but most likely before iPhone X makes its appearance. Regardless of the situation, I think there is a very small chance that Google Pixel 2 will have any real chance to compete with Apple products this year, so it will probably still have low sales, like last year.
