Among other specifications, the Pixel 2 is expected to feature a 4.97 inch full HD and the Pixel XL 2 may come with a 5.99 inch quad HD panel. Both displays are likely to be AMOLED panels which may add to a good usage of the always-on display.
In terms of hardware, we may be looking at a Snapdragon 836 processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB storage variants. For audio, it is reported that since Google is ditching the earphone jack, we could possibly get dual front-mounted speakers just like the Nexus 6P.

While USB Type-C port, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC are the expected standard connectivity options, there is a high possibility that Google will ditch the 3.5mm earphone jack.
