The first images of the new Google Pixel 3 XL smartphone have emerged, here’s how the top of the range Mountain View smartphone will look like in terms of design and features
Although it’s still a few hours away from the official launch, scheduled for October 9 in New York , you can already buy the Google Pixel 3 XL.
This, at least, is what has discovered an editor of the online magazine Engadget, which has had the opportunity to get his hands in advance on the new top-of-the-line smartphone from Google and test it in advance. From the video coming from the Asian country we can see the new top of the range Google for its external design. A Full-View screen with a notch at the top of the display, the classic elongated shape in the style of the iPhone X to understand and not drop-shaped as is now fashionable with some Android especially those of Huawei. The size of the screen is 6.3 inches. The lines of the device, in its Total Black version, are very elegant, with a rear shell made of glass at the top with the camera and metal at the bottom with the fingerprint sensor.
Google Pixel 3 XL: technical specifications
In the box of the phone emerged in preview we find earphones, a power adapter and a USB Type C cable. the new Pixel 3 Xl will run thanks to a Snapdragon 845 processor with 128 GB of internal memory. The phone will hit the market with Android 9 Pie OS already installed. Thanks to this update the Google Pixel 3 XL will have Active Edge features, meaning we will be able to press one of the phone’s physical keys to activate Google Assistant or use some smart shortcuts. There is still no certain information about the RAM but it seems that this will be 4GB. But it is likely that in some markets we will also see a version with 6GB of RAM. The screen resolution is 2,960 x 1,440 pixels but most likely we’re not talking about an OLED panel but a P-OLED the new technology for displays already tested by LG in its top of the range. The battery should be 3,400mAh.
Google Pixel 3 XL: photo compartment
As already announced in several leaks in previous days Google for the cameras of its new top of the range has decided to go against the grain. No triple or dual sensors in the rear but a return to the past with a single main camera. Sensor that should have 12 megapixels but thanks to an optimization software should still ensure high quality photos. Double instead the front camera. This will have an 8-megapixel sensor and a wide-angle lens for group selfies. As for video recording, the main camera can reach 4K at 30fps, while the front camera is “limited” to 1080p.
Price Google Pixel 3 XL
Being able to buy it, the journalist of the U.S. magazine has also been able to check the price of the Pixel 3 XL, being quite surprised. If the cost was confirmed, in fact, it would be the most expensive smartphone on the market today: 2,030 U.S. dollars, compared to $ 1,449 needed to buy the iPhone Xs Max (which, as we know, in Italy costs more).
