Everything we know about Google's upcoming smartphone, the Pixel 2 (GOOG, GOOGL)

Google just launched its back-to-school promotion for the original Pixel smartphones, where you can get a pretty decent discount off the original price of Google's first two Pixel phones.

While that's a great deal, you might want to hold off: We could be expecting the Pixel's successor within the next few months. If you want the latest and greatest at all times, you may want to wait a little while, especially if Google's Pixel discounts aren't as steep as you hoped. 

Overall, it looks like we can expect some decent improvements in the Pixel 2 over the original Pixel, including in its camera and design. We're also expecting Google to fill some gaps in features, like water resistance, in the Pixel 2.

There's also perhaps some bad news, at least for some. It's looking more and more like the Pixel 2 smartphones won't come with a headphone jack. 

Check out everything we know about Google's new Pixel 2 smartphones:

There will be two new Pixel models.

At first, it was rumored that Google had two new Pixel models with the code names "Muskie" and "Walleye." Most recently, however, it appears that Google has canceled Muskie, which was supposed to be the larger of the two devices. Muskie has been replaced with an even larger model with the code name "Taimen," according to Android Police.

According to XDA, a mobile-developer website, the larger Pixel model will have a 5.99-inch display with a 1440p (2K) resolution.
