Google announces Pixel 3 with dual front-facing cameras and Android Pie, starting at $799

A lot changes in a year, but some things stay the same.

Like clockwork, Google today took the wraps off the latest additions to its three-year-old Pixel smartphone portfolio: Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, the successors to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, respectively. Unlike 2017’s models, which were made by HTC in collaboration with LG, HTC produced both phones this time around — and it shows. Other than slight variations in size, screen resolution, and battery life, there’s little to distinguish the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL from each other.
