s the countdown to the official unveiling of Google’s new flagship Android phones ticks by, new data have emerged regarding recent benchmarks of the supposed Google Pixel XL.
A Geekbench listing has surfaced where a “Google Marin” handset, Google’s codename for the Pixel XL, was recently benchmarked and shown to be running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM, reports TechRadar.
While 4GB of RAM is fairly standard for flagship devices, it’s surprising that the Pixel XL may not be equipped with the newer Snapdragon 821, which is 10% faster than the 820.
