First Look at the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
Source
After 2yrs of Pixel Buds Pro release, Google will finally launch its upgrade aka the Pixel Buds Pro 2. It will be available in 4 colors — Charcoal, Porcelain white, Aloe an hot pink.
Design-wise, Pixel Buds Pro 2 have a more prominent grill on each earbud compared to original Pixel Buds Pro, which is likely going to be used for ANC and Transparency modes. The charging case will be a bit bulky as well, likely due to bigger battery of the charging case
