The milky color covers the rumored all-glass back of the device as well as its sides. The leaker confirmed that the back of the phone is ‘totally glass,’ which may allow for wireless charging. The front, meanwhile, features a large notch at the top.
Excited for the upcoming Google Pixel 3? New images posted to the XDA-Developers forums appear to show off a Clearly White version of the larger XL variant.
As you can see in the images above, the milky color covers the rumored all-glass back of the device as well as its sides. Leaker dr.guru said they took the photos of this purported engineering model, but could not boot the phone « because it was remotely erased by Google. »
« I am not the owner of the device, I just took the pictures when I saw it, » dr.guru wrote.
The leaker confirmed that the back of the phone is « totally glass, » as earlier rumors have indicated. « The top part is glossy and the bottom is matte but it’s a single part, » the poster wrote of the glass panel, which may allow for wireless charging.
The front, meanwhile, features a large notch at the top. « The notch is realy [sic] BIG, probably the biggest I’ve seen in any phone, » dr.guru wrote.
The leak also appears to confirm that a version with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage is on the way. Earlier leaks indicate that the phone will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC.
Meanwhile, the folks over at 9to5Google discovered evidence that Google is working on a Pixel 3 accessory called the « Pixel Stand, » which may be a wireless charger with virtual assistant capabilities.
As for what else Google has up its sleeve for this year’s Pixel phones, we’ll just have to wait and see. If history repeats itself, the search giant will debut the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL on Oct. 4. That’s the same day Google unveiled the Pixel 2 and 2 XL last year and its original Pixel in 2016. The Pixel 2 and 2XL both earned « excellent » ratings in PCMag’s reviews.
