Google is said to be developing a tiny flagship Pixel smartphone. The rumoured phone has been dubbed 'Neila,' according to the source. The device is likely to include a hole-punched cutout in the centre of the display to house the selfie camera. The rumoured Google Pixel phone is expected to keep the current Pixel lineup's design. According to the source, smartphones with smaller displays are popular "overseas," but local cellphone sales are fewer than projected (translated). On October 6, Google will host the 'Made By Google' launch event.
Google is working on a smaller Pixel smartphone, according to tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo.

According to the source, Google's choice to work on a flagship Pixel cellphone with a smaller form factor may be motivated by the fact that small-screen phones are popular in overseas markets, but domestic smartphone sales are lower than projected.
