A few hours ago, Richard Lai/Engadget, released a video of what we think is the Google Pixel 3 XL. Speculations grew when people found out that it’s now out! This is because the official launching of Google Pixel 3 XL was supposed to be held in New York on 09th of October. The big giant, Google is supposed to reveal their next Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL in the said event. However, it seems that Hong Kong were too excited and started selling the latest Google’s smartphone flagship.

According to earlier reports, Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL is the next pure Android Google flagship. And the price will be higher (of course) from Pixel 2. It is assume that it will be higher than $649 or £629 or AU$1,079 in the market. Surprisingly, Richard Lai said it was sold closely to $15,880HKD or around $2,030USD.

Did Hong Kong released the official Google Pixel 3 XL – or not?
It is still unconfirmed whether the Google Pixel 3 XL in Hong Kong is the real deal. Although it seems that it’s the real deal and it checks out! According to Lai, the device feels sturdy and well-built. Pretty much, almost everything that Lai described as Pixel 3 XL checks out with the leaked info. Such comparisons are as follows:
- A 6.3-inch screen
- 128GB storage capacity
- Snapdragon 845 chipset
- 4GB of RAM memory (although higher RAM variant is expected)
- Screen seems a P-OLED at 1440p resolution
- Rear camera 12.2MP
- Front camera is 8MP
- Android OS is Android 9.0 aka Android Pie with gesture navigation
One of the few things that Lai is not sure of is the battery capacity. Although, initial reports says that Google Pixel 3 XL will sport a 3,430mAh battery capacity.
