Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, both of which had precisely no surprises in store. Given the significant number of leaks building up to Google's launch, there was barely anything left for the tech giant to show off.
The rumors seem true as both Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL sport larger displays than last year's models at 5.5in and 6.3in. Both Pixels run Google's Android 9.0 OS and offer dual front-facing cameras and wireless charging for the first time.
The new Pixels: Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, look almost the same as last year's models, and both offer the same IP68 certification as the Pixel 2 and 2 XL. However, Google has introduced a new 'Not Pink' model for its, new pink-colored handset. Apart from that, available handsets are 'Just Black' and 'Clearly White' models.
The Android Pie duo sport 5.5in 1080x2160 and 6.3in 1440x2960 OLED displays, respectively, up from the 5in and 6in screens found on last year's Google flagships. The Pixel 3 XL also looks like iPhone X-a-like notch for the first time, while the Google Pixel 3 opts for an old-school bezelled display instead.
Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL are both pack Qualcomm's 10nm Snapdragon 845 processor, paired Google's new Titan M security chip, 4GB RAM and a choice of 64GB or 128GB built-in storage. As what was leaked, the two handsets also support wireless charging for the first time, and Google is introducing its own charging stand, the Pixel Stand as an optional accessory. The notch has been introduced to house the handsets' dual front-facing cameras, which comprise of standard and wide-angle lenses. At the back of the Pixels, there is a single 12.2MP camera, bucking the industry trend of dual, and in some cases triple-lens setups. Google's claims its new 'Night Sight' feature, which will arrive as a software update later this year. The new capture can shoot natural-looking photos in the dark without a flash and will be rolling out as part of a software update later this year.
The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are available to pre-order now and will start shipping in Blighty on 1 November. As for the price, in the UK, the Pixel 3 will cost £739 with 64GB storage and £839 with 128GB of storage. The Pixel 3 XL price is £869 and £969 with 64GB and 128GB of storage, respectively.
