Weve seen various renders and other images of the upcoming Pixel 3 XL, and now we've seen on more photo of it in the flesh and it doesnt make the best first impression.Shared by a reader of MobileSyrup, the photo was apparently taken on a streetcar in Toronto, and it shows a phone with an enormous notch, by which we dont just mean a wide notch, but one which sticks out into the screen more than weve been used to seeing.This doesnt come as a complete surprise, as the notch looks similarly large in renders we've seen, but its a lot more noticeable in this real-world shot.
A notch this size also means that if you choose to hide it (by blacking out the screen to either side) the Pixel 3 XL will effectively have a massive bezel.Theres not much else to take from the image, but youll note that theres also a bezel below the screen, housing a speaker.This could be our first real look at the Pixel 3 XL.

That makes sense, as 6.7 inches always sounded a bit big to be true.We should know everything for certain soon though, as the Pixel 3 XL will probably land in early October, alongside the standard Pixel 3.The Pixel 2 XL will have to compete with the iPhone 11yAmE7f7HR4YECdia9fLgTA.jpg#
