More images of the upcoming Google Pixel 3 leak hours before launch event

Google Pixel 3 image by Evan Blass

While Google has been planning a fall launch event in New York City to show off, among other products, the new and improved (now with trendy notch) Pixel 3 flagships, we're seeing more renders of the devices and even a hint of a new "Pink Sand" variant.

The latest leaks were courtesy of Evan Blass who also unloaded an image of the Pixel Slate, the 2-in-1 Chromebook tablet that can presumably run Windows 10, complete with its keyboard accessory.  Anyone interested in the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL now has a good idea of what the device is all about (hint: mostly camera upgrades). The larger Pixel 3 has been captured and unboxed in YouTube videos and already has a full review from unwire.uk out weeks before its intended launch.

Google teases Active Edge feature for upcoming Pixel phones

With Google’s hardware event fast approaching, it looks like the company just wants to get ahead of the rumours—not that there’s much left to tease at this point. But the company’s official Google Japan YouTube channel just posted a teaser video that hints at a feature making a comeback from the previous generation of Pixel phones: Active Edge technology. Seen on the Pixel 2, Active Edge lets you perform certain functions or open apps by just squeezing the side of the phone. So, expect the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL to possibly carry the feature. We’re wondering why Google is teasing it now, though. That said, we’ll hear more about the new devices on October 9 at the Made by Google event.

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?
