Well, that’s it then. All the hardware details of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are officially known, with Canadian carrier Freedom Mobile listing the phones for pre-order on their website, with a bonus Pixel Stand thrown in if you pre-order by October 31.
The hardware listings for the phones include all the specifications and differences between the two appear to be mainly in the screen size and resolution (5.5″ @ 1080×2160 vs 6.3″ @ 2880×1440) and battery, though the battery for the Pixel 3 appears to be wrongly listed at 3915mAh and we’re pretty sure it’s 2915mAh, while the Pixel 3 XL gets a 3430 mAh battery.
Some interesting tidbits include that the phones are both IP68 rated, allowing them to be immersed in up to 1.5m of water for up to half an hour. The phones on Freedom Mobile also seem to support all the major Australian LTE bands, with CAT 16 LTE offering up to 1Gbps.
The listing also confirms inclusion of headphones in the box as we’ve been seeing since the leaks began.

The listings include all the information you need, including the Pixel 3 XL colours which are now confirmed as ‘Just Black’, ‘Clearly White’, and ‘Not Pink’. The three colours are apparently on offer for the 64GB models, however the 128GB models show only ‘Just Black’ and ‘Clearly White’. Still, here’s the renders:

The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL across both 64GB and 128GB both offer a bonus Pixel Stand if pre-ordered prior to October 31st, which gives us the on-sale date for Canada at least.
