New rumor claims Google developing large phone with ‘taimen’ codename

Earlier this week, rumors hit the internet that the successors to the Pixel and Pixel XLhave the internal codenames of “Walleye” and “Muskie”. Now another unconfirmed rumor claims Google is working on a third phone, which has the codename “Taimen”.
The report, from Droid Life, comes from what it claims are “multiple sources”. The real-life tamien is a fish, like the walleye and muskie. However, the tamien fish, also known as the Siberian taimen and the Siberian salmon, is considered to be one of the largest salmonids in the world. If this report is correct, that could be a clue that Google is working on a much larger phone than the 5.5-inch display found on the Pixel XL.
It’s possible that Google could be following in the path that Apple is rumored to be taking with its next iPhone launches. Recent rumors claim that company will release the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus this fall, along with a third, and larger, iPhone 8 with a curved 5.8-inch screen. Google could also release successors to the Pixel and Pixel XL with the same display, and a larger phone as well.
As always with these kinds of unconfirmed rumors, take them with a big grain of salt. However, it’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility that Google would launch three new phones this fall. Would you want a new Google phone that’s larger than the Pixel XL? Let us know in the comments!

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention.
