Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL launched, prices start at $799/$899 and Rs. 71,000/Rs. 83,000 in India

Google has officially announced the Pixel 3 today. The launch event turned out to be rather bizarre, because the Pixel 3 XL wasn’t even mentioned on the stage. 

So, without further ado, here’s a recap of the device’s spec sheet. 

The Pixel 3 runs on Android 9 Pie, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, with 4GB of RAM. The device will be available in 64GB and 128GB storage variants. The phone is equipped with a 5.5-inch FullHD+ OLED display, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and the back, and has an aluminium frame.

Photography wise, the Google Pixel 3 sports a 12.2MP Dual-Pixel camera which supports electronic image stabilisation, Optical image stabilisation, and has a spectral and flicker sensor. The phone has dual selfie cameras with a 8MP telephoto lens and another 8MP wide-angle lens. The device is backed by a 2915 mAH battery, which supports fast charging (via USB Type-C) and wireless charging. The Pixel 3 does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
