Google Pixel 3 XL video preview reveals giant 6.7" display, 3430mAh battery
The Telegram channel of a Russian tech blogger is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to tidbits about the upcoming Google Pixel 3 XL flagship. After doing an impromptu unboxing, the guy posted a look-around session with the device, showcasing the design and perusing the Android 9 Pie software. The video was only available as a download if you register with Telegram at the source link, but is already on YouTube, and you can have a look at the most pertinent tell-alls in the slideshow below.
A more subtle two-tone design can be seen on this white version, a notch, and a resolution/pixel density combo of 1440x2960 and 494ppi that our humble calculations return to mean a giant 6.7"+ display. If we have to be precise, our calculator returns a 6.663" panel which even with a notch at the top still means a huge phone, more so with that unsightly wide chin at the bottom.
The guy does warn that this is a pre-release version, though, so let's hope that the design is still being refined. Further down the specs list are a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 4GB RAM/64GB storage, and a 3430 mAh battery. The camera duties are taken by a 12MP sensor again, it seems, with an 8MP selfie shooter at the front.
We can also clearly see a demo of the always-on display wallpaper support that was just unearthed in Android Pie, and which Google may very well keep a Pixel 3 exclusive. Do you like what you see so far with the eventual Google Pixel 3 XL baring it all?

I believe Xperia flagship phones in 2018 already won the title. They are fat, ugly and heavy. Yet despite having huge space the battery capacity is tiny compared to other flagship phones. The finger print scanner is at worst position place. Their designers are mediocre moron who can't build good looking phones.

Shut up moron. Get a life. You spend too much time on internet defending pathetic Xperia phone. It may be a news to you but the company gets worse because of moronic fanboys like you. Blind fanboys will defend any things from their beloved company. No matter how garbage the products are. Instead of insulting reviewers you moron should ask for better products from your company.

Same way morons spend time attacking.
All notched phones are ugly. If iphone X did not have notch , everybody would say notch is ugly.
At least ppl buy Sony because they want, not to show off on instagram or at nightclubs.
- Oh, I have iphone .. Then I am cool.

Whatever, dude. You have a serious stiffy for anything Sony. Just about everyone who handles the XZ2 commend it for how good it looks in person and its hand feel.

No no, I found it hard to believe too, but it seems that Sony is still making devices.

All the Android flagships in 2018 are just garbage compared to iPhone X. The gap will increase with this year's iPhones even further. Good luck Android fanboys!

I use an iPhone X as my work phone and sorry, it is a boring slab of a phone. My OnePlus 6 performs much better and I can actually use it as a smartphone instead of just an app launcher.
So, try again.

They really should "leak" an early prototype to get feedback. These comments alone would be enough to scrap the entire design and start over.

Sadly, yes, it's ugly. i was planning to upgrade from my 1st gen Pixel, but I'll wait. Don't want any forked Androids through other brands.
Coming back to the point, yes it's ugly. With HTC team under them, I wonder what went wrong with Pichai & Co.

Samsung A-series and C-series did have a 6000mAh and 5000mAh batteries. The Note 9 even has a bigger 6.4 screen.
A S10+ 'without a stylus' can easily fit a bigger battery in the same size.

Call me crazy but it's growing on me. As time passes I realized that all the phones look the same with no flair. This ugly duckling might be ugly but it stands out for being so ugly. I'm going trade xl2 in for it!

Did Google ask HTC to manufacture this phone? cause it's just looks like another "waste of space" smartphone.
