While Google is getting ready for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XLlaunch event set for this week, fresh details have been spotted in a flurry of new leaks. The latest set of reports of the upcoming Pixel duo, reiterates most of the information that has been leaked before. A listing of the Made by Google smartphones was spotted on a Canadian carrier, showcasing the smartphone's 'Not Pink' colour model. Meanwhile, more details about the price specifications come from a leaked UK carrier's brochure. Separately, a Hong Kong-based website's review has outed more information about the handsets.
