Google announces its next flagship smartphones, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL

At the tech giant’s fall hardware keynote presentation in New York City, Google revealed the company’s latest pair of flagship smartphones, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, following what felt like a never-ending wave of leaks over the last few months.

Similar to past years, both phones are very similar, but also feature stark differences on the size and camera front.

The Pixel 3 XL features a 6.3-inch 2,960 x 1,440 pixel resolution display, 128GB of storage, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, Adreno 630 GPU, 4GB of ram and IP68 water resistance. The smartphone also, as many likely feared, features a notch. The Pixel 3 XL’s display has increased 0.3-inches from the Pixel 2 XL.

Google’s Pixel 3, on the other hand, features a 5.5-inch 1080 x 2160 pixel display, a Qualcomm 845 processor, 128GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM. Battery wise, the smartphone features 3,915mAh power source. The Pixel 3 is also IP68 water and dust resistant. The Pixel 3’s display has increased 0.5-inches from 5-inches with the Pixel 3.

In terms of camera, Google has stuck with a single rear camera with both smartphones. The front-facing shooter is a different situation, however. Both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL feature two front-facing cameras, with one of them offering a wider field of you for including more people in selfie shots.

As expected, the Pixel 3 XL and Pixel 3 also run Android 9.0 Pie, the latest version of Google’s operating system.

Both smartphones also include a pair of USB-C earphones, a USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle, a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, a USB-C-to-USB-A dongle, and an 18w USB-C power adapter.

Pricing and Canadian availability for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL has not yet been confirmed. MobileSyrup has reached out to Google for additional information.
