• Lai said he bought the device from an electronics shop in
  Hong Kong for $2,030.

Engadget reporter Richard Lai has gotten his hands on what
appears to be a Google Pixel 3 XL three days ahead of the
device’s official release. In
a video for Engadget, Lai said that he acquired the widely
anticipated smartphone from a Hong Kong electronics shop called
WahPhone Digital for $2,030.

According to Lai, the device seems to be the real deal,
with features matching leaked information on the phone, including
a rear fingerprint reader and a large upper notch. “[It] feels
solid and well-built,” Lai wrote. 

It’s still not clear how WahPhone Digital acquired the
Pixel 3 XL’s days before its official release date.
