Even though we are still about four months out from the
launch of the Google Pixel 3 lineup,
we have been recently hit with fresh leaks and credible rumors about the
device. So, here’s a quick look at what all we know about the Pixel 3 phones so
far:
According
to all the leaks and renders, we now know for sure that one of the Pixel 3 devices –
specifically the Pixel 3 XL will feature a huge notch up front.
Yes, Google is also embracing the ongoing trend and will introduce a notch in
its flagship phone.
The difference here
will be that the Pixel 3 XL’s notch will house an earpiece (that is going to double
as a speaker) and two front-facing cameras to enable some form of
‘Face Unlock’ that may match the security level of Apple
iPhones. The notch, like every other modern Android phone, will be
accompanied by a thick bottom chin.
The smaller Pixel 3, on the other
hand, will also grab an update in design but without the notch. It
will adopt a design similar to last year’s Pixel 2 XL but in a smaller form
factor. This means it’s going to get a taller 18:9 display this time around,
which is a plus point for sure.
Single Rear Camera
The prototype of the Pixel 3 XL that
leaked yesterday not only gave us a close look at the front, but also the rear
panel of the device. And in line with recent leaks, it suggests that
Pixel 3 will feature only a single rear camera –
just like its predecessor. Surprising, right?

Since Google is still sticking with
a single sensor on the back, it will rely on software to get that
all-important portrait mode (bokeh) effect in photos. However, Google could
go with a beefier sensor or a variable aperture this time around, which we know
nothing about.
Wireless Charging
If you take a closer look at the
rear panel of the Pixel XL 3 prototype in the image above, you will notice that
Google is sticking to the dual-tone back. But, the glossy look indicate
the rear panel is made out of glass this time around.
If that wasn’t enough to convince
you, which it can’t be, then a fresh report has revealed that Android
P will feature improved ‘wireless
charging‘ support in the upcoming software with a “Connected
Devices” section in the Settings. There’s also references to something
Google-made called ‘dreamliner’ in the code of the Latest Android P beta, so Google
might be working on a device themselves.
Other Features
Additionally, the leaks have
suggested that Google Pixel 3 will feature a Wi-Fi chipset capable
of dual-band simultaneous (DBS) connections, so it will
have Faster and more efficient Wi-Fi.
It will use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands at the same time for multi-fold
faster speeds.

leaks
The SIM card tray will be
moved to the bottom, next to the USB Type-C charging port. There’s no
headphone jack this time around either.
