    It looks like 90% phones on the market.

      people complaining about the chin but at least pixels front facing speakers are a useful feature and bezels r still slim.might not be their best design but i dnt mind it..i ll take front facing speakers over extreme slim bezels

        I once owned a gold LeEco Le S3 for only a mere two days. It was probably the most beautiful smartphone I ever seen and I owned the glacial silver HTC One, Nexus One, iPhone 4, iPhone SE, and silver Galaxy S7 edge. Came in a beautiful box. Once I started using the software skin, I returned it within 48 hours.

        Design doesn't mean jack squat to me if the software experience is terrible. Even the lady at Fry's who was helping me get my refund remarked it was such a beautiful phone. I just told her I couldn't stand the software performance. Beauty is only skin-deep, folks.

        Don't hate on the Pixel 3 XL based on looks. It's going to have Pie right out of the gate with the strongest SoC for it, big battery, and perhaps another great camera like the previous two generations. All about performance at the end. Not about owning a beautiful lemon like that $130 LeEco Le S3 I owned for two days.

          Any phone with less than 4000 mah battery is going to be flop.

            Pixels usually have the worst designs but most people buy them for the camera performance and software experience. I've tried many brands and software experience is a big deal to many people. We don't want another Chinese customized skin on there or waiting another 3-6 months for the latest software update.

            On Verizon, the Pixels are the only ones running Android that doesn't have carrier bloatware and it already comes unlocked to boot like all their phones. I remember getting Oreo a few days before the global version got their's. It's all about performance with the Pixels. Not about design.

            Looks fade. Every design gets boring at some point. Performance lasts and will get remembered more.

                Google purposely leaving it there so people dont get so shocked by the design when it launches

                  This leak is darn old. But seriously, if I carry a phone that I know hasn't been released yet - I don't lose it or want to get it back no matter how and directly after I realized I lost it. This is just a bad planned google leak. I am sure alot of people will buy this bu*t ugly phone with horrible specsheet. If you buy this overpriced phone over any android one phone, make sure you take photos worth the money and not selfies or things people took already better photos of (with dlna)...I don't understand customers anymore. Nexusline was brilliant, Pixel line is just awful.

                        Google... weird-looking phones with medium specs at flagship pricing. I dunno.

                          I'm pretty sure this is an elaborate plan to draw more attention and sales to the Pixel 3 (non XL varrient).

                            Ewww! That's one FUGLY phone..
                            I think the owner actually left it there on purpose because it was too damn ugly :))
                            I'd never pay for a NOtch phone.

                              This reminds me of the iPhone 4 leak.

                                  All phones have looked the same for the last 4 years, I'd even say the last 8 years. Why gsmarena do you want cookies enabled in our browsers?

                                    What's next?
