The Google Pixel 3 Lite is hardly a secret. We have seen images of it leak as well as 360 degree CAD renders. Today a Ukrainian Android website has published a video review on YouTube of the new Pixel 3 Lite.
The new video, as you can see below, is a fairly extensive review talking about not just the build of the device and the internals but also the software experience with it.
The phone is most definitely a Pixel 3 Lite and it matches all the leaks we have seen so far of it. The build of it is plastic rather than the premium glass/metal flagship Pixels and the slots on the outside are different. There are no longer any front firing speakers, instead a single speaker is located on the bottom of the device, alongside the USB-C slot.
The top of the device has a headphone jack which will keep many of the those still clinging to their wired ways happy. The power button is now a bright yellow for the white version and the SIM card slot is on the side now rather than the bottom.
Inside the phone are, as expected, mid range with a 5.56 inch 18:9 display with a 1080 x 2160 pixel resolution. The processor powering it is a Snapdragon 670 along with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There is once again a single camera on the rear (12.2MP) and this time a single front facing camera of 8MP. The battery is just 2915mAh but according to the reviewer gives about the same battery life as the standard Pixel 3 phones.
There is no mention of the price nor its release date but the reviewer expects the phone to be revealed at Google I/O 2019 and given that is still several months away we expect to hear a lot more about this phone and it’s big brother the Pixel 3 XL Lite (if it actually exists) before then.
What do you think of the Pixel 3 Lite? Would you consider one and what price point do you think Google will aim for with it (although it is unlikely to make it here to Australia, more for emerging markets such as India)?
