Almost Everything is Known About Google Pixel 3
After reading several articles on what’s expected to be revealed in Google’s next event, it was no surprise to see just how many rumors the internet has accumulated about the next Pixel phone, which is expected to be revealed on the Made by Google event on October 9th.
For starters, Google has already somewhat confirmed there will be a new Pixel phone to be released. One instance of this was after they responded to the rumors of a “Pixel Mini” phone:
We've heard rumors of a mini Pixel. Which begs the question how “mini” is too mini? We have a feeling the next one will be a bit bigger than this. Tune in on 10/9 to see for yourself. #madebygoogle https://t.co/3NGrvi8uC2
