A new leak makes Google's larger Pixel 2 XL smartphone sound a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Google is set to announce its new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones on October 4, but the alleged specs for both phones leaked on Thursday by a source reporting to Android Authority.

Most of the leaked information in Android Authority's report has already been leaked or rumored, but there are a few details we hadn't seen before.

For one, the larger Pixel 2 XL will have a curved display that could be similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 phones.

The phone is also said to have narrow bezels with a screen-to-body ratio between 80-85%, which is also similar to the Galaxy phones. The Pixel 2 XL's display could also feature a wide color gamut for richer colors.

The smaller Pixel 2, on the other hand, is said to have a similar design as the original Pixel, which means it won't have a curved display with narrow bezels, nor will it have a wide color gamut.

Apart from those new details, Android Authority's report seemingly confirms many of the existing rumors, including:

A quad-HD (QHD) 1440p display on the Pixel 2 XL

A full-HD (FHD) 1080p display on the Pixel 2

Both will run on the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor

Both will have water resistance up to IP67, similar to the iPhone 8

No 3.5mm headphone jacks

Dual speakers on both phones

Both will feature an "active edge" that lets you squeeze the devices to pull up certain apps

Both phones will come with 64GB and 128GB storage options

The design for both phones, at least their backs, as well as their color options and price tags was also leaked not too long ago.

As likely as it is that these leaks and rumors are accurate, nothing is truly certain until Google itself announces its new Pixel 2 smartphones during its October 4 event.

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays. The illustrations filed with the approved patent reveal a cylindrical hub, which houses the rolled display – which unfurls like a pair of window blinds.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
