Google Pixel 3 XL leaked photos reveal large ‘chin,’ white color design

YouTube/HardwareCanucks

• New leaked photos supposedly show the white version of
  Google’s upcoming Pixel 3 XL smartphone.
• They reveal that the Pixel 3 XL will have a relatively
  large bottom bezel, or “chin.”
• Other top Android smartphones have thinner chins, which
  makes them look sleeker than the Pixel 3 XL in the photo
  leaks. 

New photos that supposedly show a white model of Google’s
upcoming smartphone — the Pixel 3XL — leaked on
Sunday by
XDA-Developers user dr.guru.

You can check out the photos on the
XDA-Developers’ website here.

These latest leaked photos complement a
previous leak from XDA-Developers from early June that showed
a black version of the Pixel 3 XL.

One thing the latest leak makes a little clearer is the
extent of the bezels surrounding the Pixel 3 XL’s display. As has
been rumored, the Pixel 3 XL will potentially have a notch. The
leaked photos also suggest that it’ll have a relatively large
bottom bezel, or “chin” as it’s sometimes known. You can
also see an orange power button on the right of the device, which
the white Pixel 2 XL currently has.

Based on the photos, the chin on the bottom of the supposed
Pixel 3 XL is larger than the chin on other top Android phones,
like Galaxy S9, LG G7, OnePlus 6, and Essential Phone. As a
result, I suspect the Pixel 3 XL may not look quite as sleek or
modern as the competition.

The same could be said about the current Pixel 2 XL, which
has a utilitarian design compared to other top Android
phones.

The OnePlus 6 has a much
thinner bottom bezel than the supposed Pixel 3
XL.

Still, if the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are anything to go by,
Google’s Pixel 3 smartphones will be excellent smartphones.
Google phones run a clean and simple version of Android that’s a
joy to use, and they also get software updates as soon as Google
releases them. For non-Google smartphones, updates usually come
months after their initial release.

The new photo leak doesn’t reveal much else about Google’s
upcoming Pixel 3 XL, which will likely be the larger of two Pixel
models that Google has released in the past. So far, it’s said
the Pixel 3 XL will have a glass back, which could suggest that
wireless charging is coming to Google’s smartphones.

The pictured device is said to be on the older side, which
means there’s a high chance that what we’re seeing isn’t the
final design, according to XDA-Developers
editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman.

A new device called the “Pixel Stand” has also been
discovered by
XDA-Developers in the upcoming version of Android’s code.
It’s unclear whether it’s a wired or wireless charger, and what
its function might be.
