New leaks show off Black and White renders of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL

Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XLWe’ve steadily been getting leaks of the Google Pixel 3 and 3XL ahead of the October 9 launch for both devices. This time around, we get two official-looking renders of both devices from Twitter user @RolandQuant. You get to see a large 3 in the phones’ default wallpapers and the bigger notch on the Pixel 3 XL. We also get to see the mint-coloured power key on the white variant. It looks like both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will get the same colors, unlike last year where two different manufacturers worked on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

Google Pixel 3’s colours teased by the company

Not much else could be teased about the Google Pixel 3. Or so we thought. A new teaser website from the company’s Japan office shows us the three colours the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL could come in. It comes in mint, white, and black. If you click on the G logo in the site, you’ll see it rotate between the three shades. This approach is similar to the three-colour approach Google did for the Pixel 2. What do you think of the colours? Which one would you get?

Latest Google Pixel 3 XL leak comes from back of a Lyft

It's remarkable how crazy this year's been for major smartphone launch leaks. No major smartphone manufacturer has been spared by early and embarrassing looks at their upcoming products and now Google has had another major Pixel 3 XL leak from the most unlikely source.

We get to see a real-live Pixel 3 XL, this isn't from a stolen pallet of devices or from a publicly accessible video stream but from the back of a Lyft. Someone with early access to the device left it in a Lyft car they were riding. Coincidentally, the Lyft driver mistook the lost phone for his own Pixel 2 XL (what are the chances). The driver noticed the large notch on the face of the the phone and realized he was looking at a still unannounced Google Pixel XL.

The story has a happy ending as the owner and the Pixel 3 XL were reunited, but not before the Lyft driver took a bunch of photos of the device and shared it with the world at larger. So here we are,another look at what Google has in store come October.
