More photos of the Pixel 3 XL leak in white with mint-colored power key

2021-09-20

Google’s Pixel 3 XL was this year’s worst kept secret. A few weeks ago, a man was selling production Pixel 3 XL devices on the black market, far ahead of the phone’s official launch, so we’ve already got a good look at the huge notch, the big chin, and the refined glass-window design on the back.

Today, the Pixel 3 XL poses for a few more high-resolution photos thanks to @IshanAgarwal24 on Twitter. This is the while model, which we see had the green mint-colored accent key on the power button. Likewise, we again see the massive size of the notch at the top of the display and the rather large chin at the bottom.

Also, according to IshanAgarwal24, the SIM tray has relocated to the bottom of the device. There are also a couple of screen grabs of the redesigned Camera UI and the refined Google Assistant prompt.

The Twitter user also confirms that there is no 60fps recording for 4K res-video. Of course, this isn’t final retail software so there’s a small chance it may be included at launch or even added in a future OTA update.

Also according to the leaker, there is no way to “hide” the notch by making the left and right side of the notch go dark. Virtually every other manufacturer has allowed this (well, except Apple, really) for those who’d rather not have a notch obstruct the symmetry of the device. We’re so tired of making this argument but the notch is really a thing and we’re going to have to live with it.

In any case, the official product launch will take place in NYC on October 9 where we’ll find out everything about the Pixel 3, Pixel 3Xl, and whatever else Google announces.
