Google Pixel 2 shows up at the FCC with Android 8 0 1 Active Edge squeeze feature

Following a barrage of leaksabout it, Googles upcoming Pixel 2 has decided to stop by the FCC. The certification process has thankfully resulted in a few screenshots from the phones UI, which reveal a few (more) details about it.

First off, the Pixel 2 is made by HTC, as previously revealed by countless rumors (the Pixel XL2, on the other hand, will be LGs doing). Its frame will be squeezable like that of the HTC U11, though in the Pixel the feature will be called Active Edge. By default this will let you invoke the Google Assistant by giving the handsets frame a squeeze.

The Pixel 2 that visited the FCC ran Android 8.0.1, with the August 5, 2017 security patch level. This should be a near-final build of the next Android version, since the latest available Developer Preview is still 8.0.0. Or maybe that .1 is going to be a build exclusive to the Pixels.

The handset sports 64GB of sto rage, a tier not found in the original Pixels from last year (and which we hope will be the base level, with 128GB an option for added cost). Finally, the model number for this specific Pixel 2 unit is G011A.
