PIXEL 3 COULD BE BEZEL- LESS

Over the past one month, we have been subjected to a host of Pixel 3 leaks and so far, none of them has been impressive — thanks to uninspiring designs with a big notch and a fat chin. Tipsters have even gone on to post unboxing videos of the Pixel 3 XL, complete with camera samples on their channels. However, there are some who have been speculating a kind of mislead by Google to retain the surprise for October 9. And there’s some proof of that with the latest Android Pie update.

A forum member on Slashleaks has uploaded screenshots of the Device Setup page on the Google Pixel 2 XL post the Android Pie update. All throughout the setup pages, Android Pie keeps referring to an illustration depicting a perfectly bezel- less smartphone. The illustration shows no notch or a chin, thereby mimicking a Mi MIX 3 series, albeit with no chin. The illustration even shows a power button and the volume rocker keys to the sides.

A short video also depicts a rear- mounted fingerprint sensor with a signature Pixel- style dual tone rear panel. Additionally, the Edge Squeeze feature from the Pixel 2 could also be making its way to the new model.

Based on what we have seen so far of the mystically leaked Pixel 3 XL, it’s nowhere close to the illustrated phone used for the setup screens. There could be a possibility that Google is mocking at other manufacturers with the leaked prototypes for their notches and huge chins, and could have something completely revolutionising for the October 9 event.
