• Google posted the announcement date for its upcoming
  Pixel 3 smartphones on its YouTube service site called
  FameBit.
• The Pixel 3 smartphone will be announced on October 4,
  2018, which doesn’t come at much of a surprise, as previous
  Pixel smartphones were also released on October 4.

Google’s Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones will be revealed on
October 4, according to information the company posted itself on
one of its own websites. 

According to the “This Is Tech
Today” YouTube channel, the Pixel 3’s reveal date was listed
on Google’s FameBit website, where brands and companies can post
listings for YouTube content creators to make videos on their
products and services. 

Google’s own posting shows the company is specifically looking
for Canadian content creators who aren’t currently using Pixel
smartphones, but “are willing to switch to the Pixel 3.” After
using the device for some time, Google “wants them to share their
switching story with the audience.”

The device pictured on the listing on FameBit looks like the
original Pixel’s design, and it’s very much unlikely to show the
actual Pixel 3 design.

If you’re looking to see what the Pixel 3 XL will look like,
several photos have
leaked already. 

YouTube’s FameBit website isn’t accessible to everyone, as you
need certain credentials to create an account like a minimum of
5,000 subscribers. With that in mind, listings on FameBit aren’t
confidential, so anyone with a FameBit account could easily
report what they find on the site. 

Either way, it seems like the three of the biggest tech companies
on earth are carelessly “leaking” information all over the
internet, including
Samsung and its upcoming Galaxy Note 9 smartphone. Even
Apple is
leaving hints about its future iPhones, whether its
intentional or not, in the code for the upcoming iOS 12 operating
system.
