Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL will launch in October, but we are seeing more leaks around the two flagships ahead of official debut. Several reports suggest that Pixel 3 XL will sport a notch or cut out on top of screen, which is not surprising given Android P supports the feature. The smaller variant or Pixel 3 will come will feature a display without the cut out. The phones are said to stick with a single rear camera lens, while at least Pixel 3 XL is speculated to come with dual front cameras.
Google’s next generation flagship will also ship with the Snapdragon 845 processor and directly compete with the likes of iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9, etc. Android P, which is the company’s latest operating software will also be announced alongside the Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL smartphones. Let us take a look at everything we know about the two devices so far:
Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL: Design and Display
Google Pixel 3 XL will sport a notch on top the display, which according to a Bloomberg report will not be as wide as that on the iPhone X, but could be noticeably taller. The phone was leaked in 3D CAD renders by XDA Developers, which reveal an edge-to-edge screen, notch and a glass back design. However, it is unclear if the phone will come with support for wireless charging. The phone could come with a 6.2-inch screen. Pixel 3 XL could have a thicker bezel or chin at the bottom to include stereo speaker on the front. The company will likely go with a physical rear-mounted fingerprint button and not in-display fingerprint sensor.
Google Pixel 3 could largely stick with the same design that we saw on its predecessor Pixel 2. This means the phone will not have a bezel-less display or notch. The phone is rumoured to come with a 5.3-inch screen. Both the Pixel 3 smartphones will ditch a 3.5 mm headset jack, same as Pixel 2 series. The bottom will house a USB Type-C port and SIM card tray. Notably, SIM card tray on Pixel 2 devices is placed on the left.
