Photos of the Pixel 3 XL, including its packaging, specs, and accessories, were posted by a Telegram user on Wednesday.
2018-08-08
This latest leak, which was first spotted by first spotted by Android Police, basically shows the same device seen in previous leaks but with some extra details, like specs and accessories.
So far, it's looking as if the Pixel 3 XL will have a design similar to the Pixel 2 XL, save for an absolutely massive notch. Apart from that, the Pixel 3's specs look like an upgrade over the Pixel 2's, bringing it closer to 2018 levels of performance.
Keep in mind that leaks, no matter how legitimate they appear, are still unconfirmed. We'll have to wait until Google presents the Pixel 3 to get the true specs, features, and design.
What we don't know about the Pixel 3 phones is their pricing and camera specs. But based on previous Pixel phones, I'm predicting that the Pixel 3 will have the best camera of any smartphone.
Check out the Pixel 3 XL:
Here it is, the Pixel 3 XL, fully unboxed, with all its included accessories.

From the leaked photos, it looks as if the Pixel 3 XL will come with wired USB-C Pixel Buds, a charging cable, a dongle, and a microUSB-to-USB-C adapter. I'd assume it also includes a charging brick, but it's not pictured above. Perhaps it's hiding underneath some extra packaging in the box.

The photos look pretty legitimate. They're nearly — if totally — identical to previous photo leaks and rumors about the Pixel 3 XL.
One of the main aspects about the upcoming Pixel 3 XL that's causing strong reactions across the internet is the phone's massive notch.

The device pictured above is showing that it's a Pixel 3 XL under the model name. It's not a guarantee, though, as anything can be expertly edited to mislead.
Almost all of the Pixel 3 XL's specs are bared for all to see.

According to the photos, the Pixel 3 XL will have:
• A Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor
• 4 GB of RAM
• A 1440p display that's standard on high-end phones these days
• Android 9
Looks as though the person who leaked the Pixel 3 XL set up the device. All they need now are apps.

From the back, the Pixel 3 XL looks nearly identical to the Pixel 2 XL.

Any rumors about dual-lens cameras on the Pixel 3 XL are looking fainter and fainter. The device pictured above shows a single-lens camera, much like previous Pixel models.
The glass inlay and fingerprint scanner are in the same positions as on the Pixel 2 XL.

Unlike previous Pixel models, the Pixel 3 XL will apparently come with wired USB-C Pixel Buds.

Antonio Villas-Boas was a consumer tech expert with over a decade of experience testing and reviewing smartphones, tablets, computers, smartwatches, and phone carriers.ExperienceAntonio joined the Business Insider team in 2015 as a tech reporter on the news desk and moved to the service journalism team in 2020. During his time as Business Insider’s senior tech reporter, Antonio developed industry-leading battery-life tests for smartphones and tablets, and covered and reviewed hundreds (if not thousands) of products from major brands like Apple, Google, Samsung, and OnePlus since as far back as Samsung’s Galaxy S6, the original Apple Watch, and the very first Google Pixel. This decade-plus of experience has given him tremendous insights into what consumer tech truly stands the test of time and what will be irrelevant in just a few years' time (RIP The Pebble).Antonio is also an experienced deal hunter, surfacing the best discounts on phones, laptops, and smartwatches for readers during sale events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Previously, Antonio was a consumer-electronics analyst at PCMag and ran his own blog. Why you can trust AntonioAntonio approaches all his reviews not only as a tech expert but as a consumer himself. He reads every word of fine print in the phone carrier plans he reviews, and is deeply skeptical of deals that promise you the latest iPhone model for free. (Spoiler: it might be “free,” but you could be stuck with it for three years.)He largely recommends less expensive and small-scale fixes to upgrade your existing tech before considering buying the latest and flashiest in new tech. Antonio believes his role as the go-to “tech guy” for his family and friends extends to his readers as well; he only recommends products that have stood up to the testing process.Scripps News, NewsNation, Fox 5 DC, NBC LX, and Rich DeMuro’s “Rich On Tech” radio show have requested his commentary and expertise.
