Google is preparing to launch its 2018 flagships,
usually debuting in early October. Yet we don't have to wait another three
months to know what they'll look like as some renders filled us in today. The
images and video confirm that the Google Pixel 3 will have a normal forehead,
while the Pixel 3XL variant will implement the infamous notch.
Both phones are also pictured with only one camera
on the back, suggesting Google is still not joining the trend of dual and
triple cameras. The Google Pixel 3 will measure 145.6 x 68.2 x 7.9 mm. It is
expected to have a 5.4” screen with tall 18:9 ratio. There are three holes next
to the earpiece, most likely for a camera, proximity sensor and LED
notification light, although it might also be a dual selfie setup.
The Google Pixel 3 XL will stand at 158 x 76.76 x
7.9 mm, but along with the camera bump the thickness goes up to 8.6 mm. The
screen will measure 6.2” in diagonal and the notch between the so-called
“horns” will house the very same camera and sensor as the Pixel 3.
Both phones are expected to come with Snapdragon 845
chipset and Android P out of the box. Last year’s Pixel 2 series had an OLED
panel on both devices, so its safe to assume the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will
use the same type of screens.
Both the inaugural Pixel and the Pixel 2 series were
announced on October 4, so you better save the date for the Pixel 3 launch as
well.
