Droid Life points out that it has confirmed the existence of the source from multiple sources. There are no details about the lineup except the code names for other two smartphones, ‘Muskie’ and ‘Walleye’. ‘Muskie’ is supposed to be the bigger 5.5-inch device while the other device, ‘walleye’ will be a smaller device with 5-inch screen size. The third smartphone ’taimen’ might simply be called Google Pixel 2 XXL if the company follows the route of a screen size larger than 6 inches. This comes almost a month after it was confirmed that the upcoming Google Pixel 2 smartphones will be **premium flagship** devices instead of a mid-range or watered down versions of the powerful Pixel lineup. The smartphones are expected to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 83X processors along with the rumoured **Android O release** .
