While, Google has remained tightlipped about the Nexus 2016 smartphone release date, specs and price details, various reports have confirmed that the upcoming smartphones will get a new brand name Pixel. What's interesting to note is that sellers on online websites have already begun selling the front panels of the handsets.

According to Android Headlines, the front panels of the upcoming Google Pixel/Nexus 2016 smartphones including the touchscreen have been put on sale on the Canadian eBay website by seller Oneby_tech. The designs are based on existing leaked photographs and renders of the Pixel handsets. Previous reports suggested that Google's upcoming smartphones will be called Pixel (Codenamed Sailfish) and Pixel XL (Codenamed Marlin). Both the handsets will reportedly be manufactured by Taiwan's HTC.

The handset is rumored to get a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera with Android 7.0 or Android 7.1 Nougat pre-installed. The Google Pixel is touted to get a 5-inch full HD display, a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 3 GB of RAM and 2,770 mAh battery. It is expected the upcoming handsets will come with higher price tags than last year's Nexus handsets.

As far as Google Pixel/Nexus 2016 smartphones release date is concerned, there are high chances that the tech giant will unveil the highly anticipated Pixel and Pixel XL handsets in a launch event which is tipped to happen on October 4, 2016. There are even reports which claim that the Google Pixel/Nexus 2016 smartphones will be available for pre-orders in U.S. the same day the handsets are announced.
