Now according to a new report from Droid-Life, they have learnt that Google could potentially have a third device in the works codenamed “taimen”, which once again is another fish-inspired name. However before you’re wondering if we could see a third Pixel handset this year, you might be disappointed as it would seem that “taimen” will be a device of its own.
Given the size of taimen fishes, it is also believed that this phone could be huge. While it might be easy to assume it could be a tablet, Droid-Life claims that they were told specifically that it was a handset, so don’t go expecting a hybrid or tablet-like device. The specs of the device remain unclear, although we have heard that a budget Android phone by Google is in the works, so we have to wonder if “taimen” might have something to do with that.
A budget Android handset with a big display could be a hit amongst consumers who don’t want to spend too much on a Pixel or other flagship handsets. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to find out the official details, if and when they arrive.
