After launching the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL flagship smartphones a few months ago, Google is now all set to launch “a simplified version of the Pixel 3” dubbed Pixel 3 Lite.

While we have already seen a few images of the Pixel 3 Lite, latest being a bunch of photos comparing the upcoming smartphone with other phones, including the Pixel 3-series and the Apple iPhone X.

Now, the latest information is related to the phone’s specifications. The Google Pixel 3 Lite is believed to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 670 octa-core processor. The 10nm chipset features Kryo 360 cores and Adreno 615 GPU.

The phone will pack 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There will be no microSD card slot, so you’ll have to make do with just 32GB of onboard storage. However, we are expecting a couple of variants of the phone with different memory configuration.

The most interesting piece of news related to the Pixel 3 Lite is the camera configuration. As per the report, the phone will come with the same camera module as the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. It will feature a 12-megapixel single rear camera with LED flash. On the front side, there will be an 8-megapixel camera for taking selfies and video calling.

Previous reports have suggested that the phone will feature a  5.56-inch display with a 2220 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. It will come with an LCD display instead of the OLED and there won’t be any kind of notch on top of the display. It will also come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and will be powered by a 2,915mAh battery.

While the Pixel 3 Lite is expected to have the same design as the Pixel 3, the phone will be made of plastic instead of the glass back body that we’ve seen on the Pixel 3 series. Another Pixel device with codename ‘Bonito’ has been revealed by ARCore APK insights, which could be the one powered by Snapdragon 710 chipset.

The new smartphone codenamed ‘Sargo’ has been leaked once again in the wild along with some other devices. The upcoming and never confirmed device, Pixel 3 Lite has leaked in comparison photos against various iPhones and original Pixel device. The new images have showcased its design aspects which purely matches with original Pixel 2 with the difference in size. The new purported Pixel 3 lite is courtesy of Russian blog. The new images show its thick bezels on the right and left sides of the display.

We can also see the presence of Android Pie on purported Pixel 3 Lite in the image. There are multiple images of Pixel 3 Lite standing against different iPhone variants. Overall, from the front side, we only managed to see is round cornered display and similar overall design with curved corners. On the back, there’s a single rear camera with an LED flashlight and a fingerprint scanner on the center.

Additionally, Pixel 3 Lite also surfaced last week with some hands-on images. It led us to know about the plastic build along with USB- Type-C port at the bottom and a fingerprint scanner on the back. Surprisingly, Google has not ditched 3.5 mm headphone jack on Pixel 3 Lite.

The post Google Pixel 3 Lite leaks in comparison photos against different phones such as orginal Pixel and iPhones appeared first on Gizmochina.

Up until last week, we only knew of the development of a third Pixel device that would be less powerful and apparently, cheaper than the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. However, a teardown of the latest version of the ARCore APK revealed there will be two devices – Bonito (which we knew about first) and Sargo (which showed up for the first time in the APK teardown). Hands-on photos and specs of Sargo have now leaked online.

The pictures are from the Russian site Rozetked.me which leaked the Pixel 3 XL ahead of its official launch. (Appears Google hasn’t plugged its leaks yet).

The Pixel 3 Lite looks a lot like its siblings with its two-tone Clearly White color but unlike the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, its back is made of plastic and not glass. It also has a yellowish-green power button.

The front of the phone looks a lot like that of the Pixel 3 save for the lack of dual front cameras and front-facing stereo speakers. It has an 18:9 display but the bezels are still pretty thick. On the back sits a single camera, an LED flash, and a fingerprint scanner.

The phone is said to have a 5.56-inch display with a 2220 x 1080 resolution. Apart from ditching the glass back and removing one camera from the front of the phone, Google has also settled for LCD instead of OLED for the display panel. We are pretty sure a lot of folks wouldn’t mind that since the device, thankfully, doesn’t have a notch.

With respect to the rest of the specs, Sargo is powered by a Snapdragon 670 processor which means Bonito should get the Snapdragon 710 as rumored. The chipset is paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. We believe there will be other configurations when it launches.

The cameras are said to be the same as that of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL – a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera. Excited? We are too. The Pixel 3 XL rounds it off with a 2915mAh battery, a USB-C port, and……. an audio jack! Yes, there is a 3.5mm port at the top of the phone.
