Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones from Google may well be the most popular devices in history (with the exception of this time, some of Apple has left an unpublished iPhone in a bar).

On October 9, Google will formalize its new flagship phones at an event. Raymond Wong and Pete Pachal of Mashable will be on the scene of the news, but it is safe enough to say that we know what is coming. As, exactly what's going to happen

In the last few months, almost everything about Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL has gone down. And we're not just talking about blurry photos and unconfirmed rumors; Official devices in retail packaging have already been shipped before the official unveiling.

So here's what we already know about Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, which is about everything.

A similar design

The new Pixel phones have similar form factors as Pixel 2 phones, but the most important change is the addition of a notch to the larger Pixel 3 XL, which will have a 6.5-inch display. It seems that Google has not yet mastered the art of a small notch since the Pixel 3 XL is quite large. At the back you will have a single lens camera as well as a fingerprint sensor.

While the XL will approach the display without bezel, the Pixel 3, smaller, will retain a traditional smartphone design, with a "front", a "chin" and no notch. The pro here is that the stereo speakers will always be on both. Keeping the chin in 2018 is a bit strange, though.

First-class material

There has been a ton of using Pixel 3 and 3 XL in nature. Someone left one of the phones in a Lyft, and a Ukrainian blogger shared his specifications and his full video. Now, with the first cameras released, the Pixel 3 XL has even been completely revised.

Here are the main details: Pixels 3 and 3XL run on Android 9 with a 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. In addition, it will also have an Adreno 630 chip for graphics.

According to the picture above and the first contacts with Engadget, the two pixels will be equipped with double-sided cameras. The effect will probably be a wider field of view, similar to the LG V40 ThinQ. And yes, it means better group selfies. Google will certainly add new features of the camera made possible by the software.

2018 may be the year the Pixel line gets support for wireless charging, MySmartPrice got the photo of a so-called Pixel stand. The charger will use a USB-C jack for fast charging and will keep the pixel up. After the device is plugged in, a new user interface appears with quick actions for playing music, making phone calls, and using Google Assistant.

Helmet in the box

Google did not include free headphones in the box of Pixel 2 or 2 XL. Instead, the company started pushing PixelBuds wirelessly. Essentially, the companies refute the Apple AirPods that are a bit short.

However, for Pixels 3 and 3 XL, homeowners can expect to get a pair of wired PixelBuds included in the box.

Availability

Here is the only thing we do not know for sure. It is likely that Google will maintain its existing partnership with Verizon for Pixel 3 and 3 XL, which means that the only carrier to directly offer the flagship product of Google will be the big red. However, the Google Store will sell unlocked versions that work on other networks, including AT & T and T-Mobile.

By adding more weight to an upcoming launch, Engadget was able to obtain a Pixel 3 XL from Hong Kong retailer, WahPhone Digital, which already sells the phones. The tutorials showed a Pixel 3 XL "Just Black" and a wired PixelBuds.

There are only a few hours to wait before everything is officialized by Google. A domestic hub and a Pixel tablet are also ready to debut. In the meantime, this teaser should hold you back.
