Google has recently announced when the Google Pixel 3 will come out. Now, the company has sent out invites to the event, called Made by Google, which will likely feature the new flagship and the specs of the device, The Verge reported.
The event will take place on Oct. 9, at 11 a.m. in New York City. The announcement doesn’t say much other than the “I <3 NY” post, cleverly using the number 3 to make a heart emoji and reference the Google Pixel 3.
While the company has been reserved as to how the Google Pixel 3 will look, leaked information of the device has taken away much of the surprise the event will bring. Of course, the leaks may very well be a dud and Google might be unveiling a phone far from what most expect it to be.
If these leaks prove true, however, then it might be bad news for Google. Complaints have already been made online regarding the company’s choice of design and the hardware it supposedly gave the Google Pixel 3.
The leaked Google Pixel 3 devices sport a huge notch on the top, which irks some people as it blocks some of the display of the screen when a video is being played on the device. Of course, Google didn’t place the notch there just to vex smartphone users.
The notch is supposed to bring in a functionality called “Super Selfies” with f/1.8 and f/2.2 apertures. While the Google Pixel 3 XL will definitely have this feature, the company has yet to announce if the normal-sized Google Pixel 3 will have this functionality.
Another major concern of smartphone fans is the supposed 4GB RAM of the Google Pixel 3. The apprehension comes amidst news that a smaller RAM is linked to the performance decline of a phone eight to 10 months after being purchased.
But there are also a few positive things that have come out following the leaked information and one of them is the Google Pixel 3’s camera. The Google Pixel 2’s snapper has been hailed as one of the best smartphone cameras on the market. And if the company manages to outdo itself in the camera department of the Google Pixel 3, then it’s expected that most will overlook the concerns mentioned above.
As for what’s under the hood, the new Pixel flagship is said to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The price of the device has not yet been revealed but it’s expected to be of the same value as its predecessors when they came out, which was $650 to $850.
