Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL Release Date: Upcoming Google Phone Finally Official?

The Google Pixel 3 and its larger cousin, the Pixel 3 XL, already have a storied history even if the actual smartphones themselves have yet to be officially announced by Google.

Rumors around the upcoming Google Pixel phones are as common as gossip on Hollywood stars. In a breakdown of current rumors surrounding the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL by Forbes, Brooke Crothers mentions that based on speculation, the standard Google Pixel 3 may be the better bang for buck smartphone purchase between the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL.

Crothers lists the usual Russian channels and sites that show unboxing videos of what are claimed to be the Google Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL. The number of rumors about the Google Pixel phones got so out of hand that there was even one rumor that claimed a conspiracy that it was Google itself drumming up the rumors about the Google Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL.

For those who don't want to rely on speculation when making their next smartphone purchasing decision, Google's exclusive hardware event in October will make or break all the rumors that have been released about the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.

As much as the rumors around the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL help tide over the drought before the upcoming phones are officially released, nothing is better than information certified by the manufacturer itself.
