PIXEL 3 A POWERFUL ADDITION

THE Google Pixel 3 smartphone is set to be announced in early October.

Droid Life quotes insider sources as saying there will be three different Google Pixel 3 models this year, codenamed Crosshatch, Albacore and Blueline though analyst Imran Choudhary said two was more likely.

It’s almost certain the phones will be powered by Qualcomm’s new and powerful Snapdragon 845 smartphone processor.

Qualcomm says its latest version is 25 per cent faster – which means the Pixel 3 could be seriously powerful.

There’s also a good chance both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will follow Apple’s lead and reduce the size of the bezel on the phones. The phone is also likely to borrow Apple’s Face ID feature.
