Google Pixel 3 Lite Pictures And Specifications Leaked

Google launched the Pixel 3 and Pixel3 XL last month. Both the phones were leaked in full glory prior to their official launch. The devices were leaked by a leaker from Russia with username Rozetked on twitter. Now however, he has leaked yet another Pixel device. He claims that the device codenamed ‘Sargo’ is, in fact, the Pixel 3 Lite smartphone. Rumors have been surfacing over the internet that Google might launch a cheaper, low-end variant of their flagship Pixel devices. Hence the chances of this leak turning into reality are considerably high.

Pixel 3 Lite

In terms of looks, the alleged Pixel 3 Lite sure resembles the elder Pixel 3. It has a rounded edge display with thick bezels both on bottom and top. The device has a similarly designed back panel to the Pixel 3 devices with a center mounted fingerprint sensor and the single camera with an LED flash. Also, the color and placement of the power button and volume rockers match the Pixel 3.

The bottom of the Pixel 3 XL lite houses the USB Type-C charging port and has thin slits which are most probably the cutouts for the loudspeaker and microphone. The smartphone surprisingly has a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the top which its elder siblings lag.

Pixel 3 Lite Specs

Rozotked has also leaked the full spec sheet of the Pixel 3 XL Lite. According to the leak, it has a 5.56 display with a resolution of 2220 x 1080 px and a pixel density of 444 ppi. Under the hood, the device packs the Octa-Core Snapdragon 670 CPU along with the Adreno 615 GPU. In terms of memory and storage, the smartphone has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. Like other Pixel devices, the smartphone does not support memory expandability.

The Pixel 3 Lite is powered by a 2,915 mAh battery. Any information regarding fast charging is currently unavailable but the chipset supports Quick Charge 4.o. Therefore, we will have to wait until the official announcement if the device makes it to the market. The leaker suggests that the phone will be a sub 500$ smartphone and a Pixel device at this price point will be an interesting option.
