The Google Pixel 3 XL, like the iPhone X and OnePlus 6, will 100% feature a notch display

The Google Pixel 3 XL release date is but months away. Rumors suggest there might be three handsets launched, but one thing is now certain…

The Google Pixel 3 XL WILL feature a notch display. This much has been confirmed inside multiple leaks.

And today’s is no exception, as you can see below (via Mobile Syrup):

It’s a pretty hefty notch, looking bigger than what’s present on both the iPhone X and OnePlus 6.

The Google Pixel 3 XL also has a fairly large chin on the bottom too, where the microphones and speaker are housed.

There have been reports that the Google Pixel 3 XL will feature a 6.7in display.

However, the leaked image above clearly shows a phone smaller than that – unless, of course, the person using it is a giant.

The handset is contained inside a smart-looking case, likely one of the cases Google will offer via Google Play once the Google Pixel 3 XL is available to buy.

Google Pixel 3 XL & Android Pie Update

One of the Google Pixel 3 XL’s big USPs will be that it runs a 100% stock configuration of Google’s new Android update, Pie.

This means ALL the changes – design and features – will be immediately visible, so anyone looking for the most Android of Android experiences will be in very good hands.

Google Pixel 3 XL Specs (Rumoured)

  • Display: 6.2in OLED 1440 x 3120
  • OS: Android 9 Pie 
  • CPU: Snapdragon 845
  • GPU: Adreno 630 GPU 
  • Camera: 12.2 MP
  • Battery: 3600mAh

The Google Pixel 3 XL will get a release date sometime inside late-Q3.

It will be joined by the Google Pixel 3, a smaller version of the XL, and, potentially, a cheaper model too (though nothing is confirmed in this regard).
