Google Pixel 3 Release Date, Price, Specs, News and Rumors

The Google Pixel 3 release date is coming up quickly, it will be a launch event on October 9. We're investigating search Google Pixel 3 leak as they arrive and updating this article to keep you in the know.

The Google Pixel 3 is set to be an ideal smartphone for pure Android fans and camera enthusiasts, simply because their previous two Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL were great in market performance.And at this point there's apparently little that we don't know about it, along with the larger Google Pixel 3 XL.

Google Pixel 3 release date

We now know that the Google Pixel 3 is coming on October 9, as Google has teased an event on that date.You'll seemingly be able to pre-order the Pixel 3 as soon as they're announced on October 9. At least, that's reportedly what a Google promotional email says.

An early October launch event would mean the Google Pixel 3 also likely lands in stores in October (last year, it landed October 19), and it might not be alone.

And if there was still any doubt that the Google Pixel 3 is coming soon, it has also been confirmed by Some agencies, most recently the NCC (National Communications Commission) in Taiwan, further suggesting an impending launch.

Google Pixel 3 price

Google now can tell their users that they always given lower price with high quality phone like other smartphones.The Google Pixel 3 price is a bigger mystery simply because smartphone prices have been climbing higher in the last twelve months.

Just look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 price and the Apple iPhoneXS price. There's room for Google to start charging more, but they give still very low price.

The Google Pixel 2 started at $649 (£629, AU$1,079) at launch, and the Pixel 3 will have a similar price, and may edge slightly higher. 

Google Pixel 3 design and display

Three colours teased on an official Japanese Google site, promoting the imminent arrival of the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL. It looks like the hues we are set for are white, black, and mint colures. But some other rumours say the colures may more than that.

That wouldn't be too dissimilar to the colouring schemes that Google has gone for in the past, so we can remember the Pixel 2 came in a "kindablue" shade that seems to have been replaced by mint this time around.

But another reports  suggests that in addition to white and black, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will come in a pink-hued 'Sand' color instead of mint. We may only find out the third "fun" color when Google unveils it on October 9.

There's no sign of mint though, other than a mint-colored power button on the white handset, so that might be the closest we're getting to a mint shade.

We've also seen renders of the phone in a fabric case, like those sold for the Google Pixel 2 range, and there have also been various leaked renders from factory CADs (computer-aided designs), which show both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL from all angles.

You can see them below and will note that as in the images above they both have just a single-lens rear camera, but that they seemingly have dual-lens front-facingcameras and - in the Pixel 3 XL's case - a notch.

There's no sign of a display notch on the standard Google Pixel 3 though.

The design on the rear of the phone looks like the Pixel 2, with a two-tone finish and a fingerprint scanner.

As well as the images, the same source says that the Pixel 3 will have a 5.4-inch screen and dimensions of 145.6 x 68.2 x 7.9mm, with the phone widening to 8.6mm where the camera sticks out.

The claim that the Google Pixel 3 won't have a notch has been echoed elsewhere, with the source adding that the Pixel 3 screen is roughly 5.3 inches - sizes which are roughly the same as we've heard elsewhere.

Elsewhere, there's rumours of a 5.5-inch 1080 x 2160 screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio and 440 pixels per inch, which is echoed in a more recent leak.

Another source also claims that at least one Pixel 3 model will have a notch, and that it will use an OLED screen provided by LG. The Pixel 2 already uses OLED screens, so this is no surprise. 

Google itself may also have slightly shown off the Pixel 3, as illustrations in the Android Pie beta show a phone with an edge-to-edge display - though this could just be a placeholder.

In any case, the images don't give away much, and don't quite match up with the other leaks we've seen, but you never know, they might be representative of the final phones.

Google Pixel 3 Camera

The cameras are perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Pixel 3 and we now know more about them, some sources claim that the dual-lens front-facing camera will be capable of better bokeh effects/portrait mode, and that one of its lenses will be wide-angle.

The front-facing camera will also apparently have a 'Super Selfies' feature, though it's not yet clear what this is.And while the rear shooter is seemingly just a single-lens one, that doesn't mean it's not exciting, as the same sources say that it's capable of "incredibly" low light shots and has a new Visual Core.

Visual Core is a chip that debuted in the Pixel 2 range, but while there it was used just to improve the processing of HDR+ shots, here it's apparently capable of more. Exactly what remains to be seen.

We've also had a look at some of the camera features in a leaked but seemingly official marketing video, which shows additions like the ability to scan in email addresses from business cards using AR.

According to another source both front-facing cameras will be 8MP, but one will have an f/1.8 aperture, while the other will have a dual-aperture, being able to switch between f/1.8 and f/2.2.

The score hasn't been officially posted yet, so this is just a rumour for now, but that score would put it higher than the 98 achieved by the Google Pixel 2, but lower than the 109 of the Nokia 9 flagship . It's also lower than the 116 score that the same source claims the Huawei Mate 20 Pro will get.

Google Pixel 3 specs and OS

The Google Pixel 3 specs aren't as exciting as the camera potential, but we know it will be faster than before if these internal components prove to be the real deal.

The Pixel 3 XL (and we assume the Pixel 3 will have matching specs) will reportedly use an octa-core Qualcomm chipset an Ardreno 630 GPU, and have 4GB of RAM, according to the unconfirmed benchmark leaks.

Google Pixel 3 Specs 

Gone are the original Pixel days that saw Google introducing a souped-up chipset from Qualcomm.But the 845 chips have proven to be plenty fast in other flagship phones.

On the other side, there has talk of a 2,915mAh battery, up from the 2,700mAh one in the Google Pixel 2.

As for the operating system, that of course will be Android 9 Pie, and a marketing video has even leaked, showing it in action.

Google Pixel 3: what are the consumers prefer

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL got 4 stars and 4.5 stars in our reviews respectively, so there’s still room for improvement, and adding the following features to the Google Pixel 3 would be a step in the right direction.

Smaller bezels without sacrificing speakers

From the iPhone 8 plus to the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, many others 2017 flagships have all but eliminated bezels, but not the Pixel 2.This is a phone which still has quite large bezels above and below the screen, and while they serve a purpose (housing the front-facing speakers) we’d like to see them worked on for the Pixel 3. 

So, we Hopeful Google and their manufacturing partners will find a way to significantly slim down the bezels without sacrificing speakers on the front.

Facility to customizable Active Edge

Active Edge on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL lets you squeeze the sides to launch Google Assistant. For the Pixel 3 we want the feature to return, but we want it to be context-sensitive, so for example if used in the camera app it would perhaps take a photo, and for the core functionality to be customizable, so you can use it as a shortcut to whatever app or feature you want.

Need Camera app improvements

Despite just being a single-lens one, the camera on the Pixel 2 is among the best you’ll find on a smartphone, but the software could use some work.

For example, we’d like gesture controls for timed photos and the ability to switch between the main and selfie cameras with a swipe, like you can on Samsung and LG phones.

Need Screen improvements

The standard Pixel 2 has just a 1080p screen, which isn’t particularly sharp for a flagship in 2017, so we’d like to see it upgraded to QHD for the Pixel 3.

Adding wireless charging system

Although the Pixel 2 range has reasonable battery life and supports fast charging, but doesn’t have wireless charging, which is a major delusion, especially now even Apple is supporting it.We expect wireless charging to become a lot more popular in the next year, thanks to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, so it will stand out even more if the Pixel 3 doesn’t support it.

 Better Water Resistance

The Pixel 2 range sports IP67 certification, which means it can survive being submerged up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.

That should be plenty, but these are flagship phones we’re talking about and some rivals offer more. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus for example has IP68 certification, meaning it can be submerged 1.5 meters deep for the same duration.

So,overall rumors and reports confirmed that the new Google Pixel 3 must be the better water resistance system as well.
