News & Reviews:   Google Pixel 3 XL pre-order

An artist has created renders of what the Google Pixel 4 may look like based on leaks. Based on reports, the Google Pixel 4’s back may come with a square setup on the top left of the device, similar to Apple’s iPhone XI’s leaks. 

Google have officially announced their Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones for $799 (~RM3317) and $899 (~RM3733) respectively. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, 4GB RAM, 64GB / 128GB storage (no expandable memory), a rear fingerprint sensor, 12.2MP OIS rear camera, and dual 8MP front cameras (wide angle + PDAF) the Pixel 3 has a 5.5-inch 1080 x 2160 pixel display while the Pixel 3 XL goes for a 6.3-inch 1440 x 2960 pixel display with a notch, both with Gorilla Glass 5.

Aside from Samsung, Apple and Huawei's annual big announcements in the third quarter of the year, Google has some exciting news to share too. Obviously, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are coming soon but so is the Android 9.0 P and according to Evan Blass Twitter feed, 20 August 2018 is the date that's gonna roll out the new OS, supposedly.

So there are still three more flagships that we are still waiting, each coming from Samsung, Apple and Huawei, there is still one more device that hasn't pick up the hype train yet and that'd be the Google Pixel 3 series. Scheduled for October release, there have not been many rumours until now which shows a white and black Pixel 3 XL model, as well as some new speculated specifications.

Based on a statement made by Evan Blass on his Twitter account, there may be a chance we could see Google releasing their take on smartwatches with the Google Pixel Watch. Not only that, there were several evidence to back up Evan’s claim on the upcoming smartwatch such as Google developing 3 WearOS watches codenamed Ling, Triton and Sardine and all of them are equipped with the Snapdragon Wear 3100 which brings significant boost in battery performance.

The Google Pixel 3 XL will feature a single camera and fingerprint sensor in the rear, as well as a display notch on the front of the display. Not only that, previous leaks has suggested that the Pixel 3 XL will come equipped with a 6.2-inch display, up 0.2-inches from the Google Pixel 2 XL thanks to the added notch.
