Google Pixel 3 XL Leaks Again In New Renders Confirming Notched Display And Single Rear Camera

If history serves us correctly, Google's next-generation Pixel 3 smartphone family will be unveiled a little over two months from now, and should arrive in the hands of customers in late October. Fortunately for us, there have been plenty of leaks along the way that have given us some pretty solid looks at Google's upcoming Android P flagships.

The latest leak comes from a third-party company that has revealed its accessory case design for the Pixel 3 XL. Although we're not really concerned with the actual case, the renders do give us a clear look at the front-facing stereo speakers, dual front-facing cameras and the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

We can also see that Google has not bowed to pressure to include multiple cameras on the rear. Instead, we see just a single camera arrangement along with an LED flash. However, given how well the single camera setups on the Pixel and Pixel 2 have performed, we have no doubt that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL cameras will also be near the top of the class. 

This latest leak largely lines up with previous renders that we've seen of the Pixel 3 XL and its smaller Pixel 3 sibling. The Pixel 3 XL is confirmed to have a notched display design, which was first introduced with the Essential Phone and popularized (for better or worse) on the iPhone X. Despite the notch, the Pixel 3 XL still has a noticeable chin at the bottom which houses one of the two speakers.

On the hardware front, the Pixel 3 XL is expected to feature a 6.2-inch display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with at least 6GB of RAM. We should also expect a second-generation Pixel Visual Core, up to 128GB of internal storage, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 and the retention of the venerable 3.5mm headphone jack.
