Google announces Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL

At a global event in the US, Google announced the new Pixel devices – Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL. The phones take over from last year’s Pixel phones with a larger display, improved camera performance and wireless charging support.

Google maintains the phones’ two tone design that includes a soft-touch Gorilla Glass 5 at the back and textured coating and option of three colours – Just Black, Clearly White and Not Pink. Interestingly, the design now makes the phone IP68 compliant to make it water and dust resistant and now supports wireless charging, making it par with the other high-end devices. Oh, and there’s a notch on the Pixel 3 XL. 

The phones are powered by Snapdragon 845 with 4GB RAM and also comes with a custom-designed security chip called Titan M that enhances mobile security by protecting unlock credentials, disk encryption, app data, and the integrity of the operating system code itself.

Running on Android Pie, the phones heavily rely on AI that helps the 12.2MP dual-pixel camera at the back take excellent photos with features like Top Shot, Super Res Zoom, Night Sight, Photobooth and even Playground, which is the next version of AR Stickers. 

The phones go on pre-order from October 11 and will be available on Flipkart and other retail stores from November 1 at the following prices:

Pixel 3 (64GB): ₹71,000
Pixel 3 (128GB): ₹80,000
Pixel 3 XL (64GB): ₹83,000
Pixel 3 XL (128GB): ₹92,000
