GOOGLE rumours suggest the tech giant could copy competitor Apple's iPhone X by adding
a notch to at least one of its new Pixel 3 smartphones.
Google is expected to announce its new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Android smartphones this
year which could come with a new notch screen design, for at least one of them.
A set of leaked screen protectors, allegedly for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, show one phone
with a top notch display and one without.
The larger Google Pixel 3 XL is the model expected to feature a full edge-to-edge screen
and a top notch while the smaller Pixel 3 should come with top and bottom bezels instead.
The leak suggests that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL should retain the excellent dual front
facing cameras and stereo front-firing speakers of the Pixel 2.
This supports previous rumours that Google would introduce its own version of Apple's
iPhone X Face ID as a way to add advanced facial recognition as a means of biometric
security.
There is also a possibility that an under-screen fingerprint reader will be introduced on one
of the phones, although this tech is allegedly still struggling in development.
Another rumour suggests there may be no notch or bezels at all, from information revealed
in Google's Android P mobile operating system.
Though this seems unlikely as the device would struggle to fit in a front facing camera,
sensors or earpiece speaker.
Other rumours suggest the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will feature 18:9 OLED screens
made by LG.
Last year LG made the Pixel 2 XL while HTC manufactured the Pixel 2.
Google launched its previous Pixel phones around October so the Pixel 3 could be due
for a similar release date in 2018.
There have also been murmurings of a cheaper Pixel 3 alternative that could arrive as early
as August.
Also like the OnePlus 6, the new Pixel 3 phones are expected to run Qualcomm's Snapdragon
845 processors.
The most likely upgrade comes in the form of the new Android 9.0 P.
Google uses the Pixel phone launch each year to roll out its new mobile operating system
and that should be no different this year.
