HIGHLIGHTS

The listing shows relatively low Geekbench scores for a device with Snapdragon 845. The phone is also tipped to come with 4GB RAM.

The leaks surrounding Google’s upcoming Pixel devices don't seem to be getting the same level of traction as its competitors, Apple and Samsung, have. While we have already seen a lot of leaked images of the premium phones that the search giant may launch this year, a latest listing on Geekhbench has shown what hardware the larger Pixel device might come with.

The listing suggests that the Google Pixel 3 XL has scored a single-core score of 2426 and a multi-core score of 8355. Judging by the scores, it seems like Google will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with a base frequency of 1.77 GHz in the device. However, the scores are a little on the lower side when compared with competing Snapdragon 845 devices. There is a possibility that these numbers could represent the initial samples and Google may tweak the internals to deliver a better performance. The listing also suggests that the Pixel 3 XL will come with 4GB RAM and run on Android P 9.0.

Recently, XDA Developers spotted a hands-on image of the alleged ‘Clearly White’ variant of the Pixel 3 XL on the wild. According to the image, Google will retain the single primary camera unit on the device and its signature two-tone back is gone. The report claims that the back of ‘Clearly White’ Pixel 3 XL is made of glass and there will be a fingerprint sensor placed centrally at the back. If the image is to be believed, the Pixel 3 XL (codenamed ‘crosshatch’) will feature a notch. The claim seems to make sense because Google has added the support for the notch in Android P. Moreover, the phone is seen with noticeable bezels on the sides and a thick chin.

On the front, we may see a dual-camera setup for selfies. The notch also suggest that Google may do away with the dual-speakers it introduced in Pixel 2 XL and only house a single speaker in the chin. Recent rumours also state that Google is working on a wireless-charging dock for the upcoming Pixel 3 series of devices. That should explain Google’s decision to go for a glass rear panel.
