Google Pixel 2 code names confirmed online: Report

GooglePixel 2’s code names have been spotted online, this time by andriod police, which reports that ‘muskie’ and ‘walleye’ is what the search giant has picked for 2017’s Pixel smartphones. According to the report on Android Police, the code names were spotted in the Android Open Source Project.
The report adds the names were seen thanks to Google’s Tree Hugger, which is the automated update bot. The reports for target changes by Tree Hugger have mention of ‘muskie’ and ‘walleye.’ The two phones are likely the normal-sized version of the Pixel 2 series, and will maintain the 5-inch and 5.5-inch display.
Other leaks have also indicated a Google Pixel, which is code named Taimen and will be much, much bigger in size. An earlier report on Droid-Life also spoke about how ‘muskie’ and ‘walleye’ are the code names for the two phones, but ‘Taimen’ appears to be a much bigger version of the phone.
Google has already confirmed it will be working on a Pixel 2, which was given of sorts, considering at the launch of the Pixel, the company said it was committed to this for a long term. Google Pixel 2 is also expected to see a complete design overhaul from the half-glass and half-aluminium of the original, which wasn’t really seen as the best thing on a premium phone.
With Pixel 2, Google will stick to premium pricing, which is the whole point of this series in the first place. Google sees the Pixel phones as a challenger to the ‘premium’ iPhone, which explains the $650 plus price tag for these smartphones. The Pixel’s camera remains its highlight feature for now, which has come close to challenging the superiority of the iPhone and samsung galaxy s7 camera. But when it comes to software, Google Pixel has faced some issues with reports of LTE problems, audio distortion, Bluetooth, the phone rebooting unexpectedly and more.

Microsoft showing of its new xbox one dashboard

Microsoft revealed last week that it’s planning to  rebuild the Xbox One dashboard  with a focus on speed. While the software giant revealed common tasks will be faster, Mike Ybarra, head of platform engineering for Xbox, has now teased exactly what the new dashboard will look like. Microsoft is adding a new Xbox button part of the guide that slides into view, with the ability to quickly switch between recent apps or games without having to navigate back to the home of the dashboard. This subtle change could speed up the Xbox One dashboard significantly. One of the big issues of the current guide is heading back to home and watching the entire system slow down and lag, or refresh randomly. The new guide is accessible with a single button press, and it appears the old home concept will be replaced entirely with this quicker method. That should make the Xbox One guide a lot more like the Xbox 360 version, and just easier to use in general.  Windows Central  has ...
