Google Pixel 3 XL prototype reportedly leaked in photos showing a notch and dual-front facing cameras

There seems to be no denying it now. The Google Pixel 3 is nearly guaranteed to come with a notch. XDA-Developers managed to get their hands on what appears to be a prototype for the **Pixel 3 XL** and the photos shows the notch on the top along with a chin at the bottom.

The notch on the front looks to be housing two lenses which would make this is the first Pixel smartphone to sport two cameras on one side. The back of the device still shows a single camera system along with the fingerprint reader at a similar position as the Pixel 2. The leaked prototype also revealed that the Pixel 3 will come in a variant which will have 4 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage along with the obvious inclusion of the Snapdragon 845 SoC. The prototype referenced in the article is codenamed ‘crosshatch’ and there is also the possibility that the phone may have wireless charging.

On the right side of the device, the photos show that volume and power buttons are positioned similarly to the Google Pixel 2 XL. At the bottom, there is the reversible type-C connector besides which sits the SIM card tray. There’s no word on whether the Pixel 3 will be dual SIM or remain single SIM.
