It's non unusual for information virtually mobile devices to leak online weeks or months earlier the hardware goes on sale. It is unusual for an device to leak before the manufacturer has even announced a date for said smartphone's launch effect. But that'due south what appears to have happened to the Google-built Pixel 3 Twoscore.

Co-ordinate to the Russian weblog Rozetked, here's the Pixel three XL:

Epitome by Rozetked

The site reports an 18:nine screen resolution of 2960×1440, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, and Android ix.0 Pie. Dissimilar the recently mocked Motorola P30, which looks so much like an iPhone that we'd challenge you to tell them apart, the Pixel 3 40 does take a distinctive face. The camera notch looks every bit though it'southward shorter but slightly thicker. Were square bezels and a millimeter less screen on one edge of the device really such a terrible thing to alive with?

If you're wondering how Google managed to lose a Pixel three 40, Rozetked (via Google) says: "Google fabricated a big fault and two months earlier the release of the smartphone missed a batch of finished devices." If you speak Russian (and I know some of the bots dropping spam comments in our threads definitely do), we wouldn't mind it if you checked the original text and allow united states of america know if this translation is remotely accurate. The implication seems to be that a box of Pixel 3 XL devices fell off a truck. Clearly, security isn't existence taken seriously somewhere, considering some other Russian vlogger, Wylsacom, has a Pixel 3 XL of his own to prove:

Twitter's translation reads: "Found here Pixel iii XL. Information technology's kind of embarrassing at first glance. Hither Sfotkal and left in a taxi." It'southward not clear if the "embarrassing" refers to a tester leaving their device in public (it's the kind of mistake that gets people fired), or to the overall look and feel of the phone. Rozetked tested the phone'due south camera as well. Hither'due south i image from their roll of shots.

Shots of the rear of the device ostend an observation by the writer: The Pixel 3 XL only has 1 rear camera, non the dual configurations we've seen some companies adopt.

The Pixel 3 and 3 XL are expected to launch October iv. Rozetked reports that the Pixel 3 will utilize a smaller display without a notch and feature a correspondingly smaller battery. The same camera (and probable the same SoC) will be used in both devices.
