A Russian tech blogger allegedly leaked the Google Pixel 3 XL in a hands-on video showing a large display, single primary camera, and a 3,430 mAh battery.
Just three days after leaking an unboxing video of the yet-to-launch Google Pixel 3 XL smartphone, a Russian tech blogger has now leaked a hands-on video of the alleged smartphone, showing the phone from all angles. The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the company's next-gen flagship devices expected to launch on October 4. The video is now available on YouTube and it shows a “Clearly White” variant of the alleged Pixel 3 XL.
In the video, the Google flagship for 2018 is seen sporting a notch which seems smaller (in length) but thicker than the iPhone X. Just like its predecessor, there is a chin and side bezels. On the right edge, there is a volume rocker as well as a light green-coloured powered button. The back panel design is pretty much the same as the Pixel 2 XL. On the back, there is a single camera and an LED flash. There is a centrally-aligned fingerprint sensor which is placed just under the top glass part of the smartphone’s two-tone design.
Now coming to the specifications, the video shows that the display of the Pixel 3 XL has a 1440×2960 resolution with a pixel density of 494ppi. Going by the numbers, the display seems to be a massive 6.7-inch screen. The person in the video says that the smartphone that he is showing in the video could be a pre-launch model and Google may bring design changes in the final handset. As it has been reported in several leaks, the Google Pixel 3 XL is seen being powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset, supplemented by a 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage.
The phone is also seen sporting a 3,430 mAh battery in the newly leaked video. This could be a tricky situation for the company because this battery will have to power an alleged 6.7-inch pOLED display. The battery could fall short in powering the device for a full day, but Google may put a software feature that could extend the backup. Android Pie does bring an adaptive battery feature and the new Pixel devices will come with the same out-of-the-box. The Google Pixel 2 XL had a 6-inch display and was powered by a 3,450mAh battery. In our review, the Pixel 2 XL clocked seven hour under a heavy usage.
When it comes to the camera, a 12MP sensor on the back seems to do all the work on the Pixel 3 XL. While almost all the smartphone-makers have switched to a dual-camera setup at the back, Google could stick to one rear camera on this year's flagship as well. The Google Pixel 3 XL may ship with an 8MP selfie shooter. The phone runs on Android Pie 9.0 and is seen sporting the a single clean home button that will allow users to navigate the new OS. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL could be the first two Google phones to solely adopt Android Pie's gesture navigation and ditch the traditional Android navigation completely.
