ossibly one of the most leaked smartphones of
all time is here. It’s a shame that almost nothing
about the Pixel 3 was a secret, though it’s still a
fantastic device. Read on to find out more.
Availability
Google’s phone goes on general sale on 1 November,
though you can pre-order it now at
fave.co/2RDX8sL.
Design
There’s not a huge design change when it comes to
this year’s Pixel phone as on the whole, and Google is

sticking to the same style and look of its predecessor.
The Pixel 3 has a distinctive style on the rear, with a
two-tone effect that may not be to everyone’s taste.
The glossy section at the top houses the camera, while
the lower part containing the fingerprint scanner.
This time around, it’s a glass design with the
bottom section offering a matte finish that both
looks and feels luxurious. It’s also more grippy than a
typical glass back and won’t show fingerprint marks as
much. This change also enables wireless charging.
It’s the front that looks even more different this
year due to a change in the display’s aspect ratio –
an industry-wide trend. Smaller bezels not only look
better but mean you get a larger screen in a body
that’s essentially the same.
Whatever side of the fence you are on, it’s worth
noting that the regular Pixel 3 is the model without a
notch. The Pixel 3 XL (see
page 10),
for the first time
on a Google phone, has the divisive feature.
Much of the elements we are used to are the same,
so you get a USB-C port and waterproofing – it now
has a rating of IP68 compared to it’s predecessor’s
IP67. There’s no headphone socket.
Colour options are once again Clearly White, Just
Black and the new Not Pink (which has a peach tone
in real life) – each with a difference accent colour on
the side button apart from the black model.
Hardware
Like the design, there’s not huge overhaul when it
comes to the specifications and features. This is more
of a refinement sort of product.
