The Pixel 3 XL has leaked many times over the past few weeks. We’ve seen it the retail packaging, multiple colors, sample photos from the camera, and in hands-on videos. The smaller Pixel 3, however, has been much shyer. We did finally get a look at this notch-less device recently. The specs are expected to be the same as the Pixel 3 XL, but with a smaller 5.5-inch display and 2915 mAh battery.

We’re just a couple of weeks away from these devices being officially announced. If you’re itching to talk about the devices and learn more from other owners, the Pixel 3 forums are already open. Hit the links below to join the conversation and get ready for October 9th!
