The Google "Muskie" Pixel XL 2 by no means died, it simply turned into the HTC U11 Plus

HTC simply introduced the HTC U11 Plus, a larger model of the HTC U11 with a bigger, edge-to-edge 18:9 widescreen show, in addition to another spec tweaks. Then again, in keeping with reviews, the handset was once in truth at the start conceived because the Pixel XL 2 to be made through HTC on Google's behalf.

We need to back down just a little right here to peer the total image.

You notice, simply as with the Nexus smartphones, Google's new Pixel collection has the corporate bringing in spouse companies to assist expand and create the handsets, which Google then manufacturers up as Pixel gadgets and sells them to the general public. Within the previous Nexus days this took place with LG, HTC, Samsung, Huawei and Motorola at other issues on other fashions.

With the first-gen Pixel and Pixel XL, HTC made each for Google.

When the Pixel 2 collection rumours came over, it wasn't lengthy ahead of the hearsay mill had an overly explicit image of what was once taking place; there have been 3 prototypes in construction. Two have been from HTC, the common Pixel 2 was once codenamed "Walleye" whilst the Pixel XL 2 was once codenamed "Muskie", and a 3rd even higher type was once being created through LG, dubbed "Taimen".

What in truth took place was once the "Muskie" were given axed, the LG "Taimen" turned into the Pixel XL 2 which sooner or later introduced, along HTC's "Walleye" Pixel 2.

A record from The Verge, bringing up an unnamed "source aware of HTC", claims the HTC U11 Plus is, if truth be told, the "Muskie"; it is alleged that HTC rescued the tool from construction purgatory after Google modified its plans. The unnamed source it appears "showed" this knowledge to The Verge.

HTC is alleged to have persevered growing the phone after which introduced it with its personal branding and design options. It will cross some strategy to explaining why the HTC U11 Plus seems VERY very similar to the Pixel XL 2, in addition to making numerous logical sense from HTC's standpoint.
