The two flagship devices will be called Pixel and Pixel XL.
All New Design
Since the first Nexus was launched, Nexus devices are not so popular for their design and look. A majority of Nexus owners are either developers or stock Android lover who usually doesn't care for design and it felt like even Google is not trying to do anything about it. This was true until the Nexus 6P was launched. Huawei did an excellent job in designing the Nexus 6P, it was the first ever Nexus phone with full metal unibody designed and that black camera hump really complimented the design.

So the big changes in the back panel of the device with the front still looking dull same as almost all Nexus devices.
