rebooted Pixel could be just weeks away from launch if this latest leak is to be believed.

Serial leaker Evan Blass has just posted a message on Twitter stating the Pixel 2 will be unveiled on October 5th.

Blass has good record for getting things right and many experts had already suggested an October launch was likely.

The Pixel 2 is expected to bring some major improvements to Google’s own-brand smartphone and could feature a bigger edge-to-edge display, better camera and tweaked design.

A recent leak also suggests that Google is planning to bring a feature first included on HTC’s new U11.

Along with its Android rivals, Google is also facing stiff competition from Apple.
