Google Pixel 3 Lite XL tipped to offer more RAM capacity than Pixel 3 series

Leaks about Google’s supposed mid-range Pixel 3 Lite series have been hovering on the internet quite for some time now. While previous reports suggested that the Mountain View company could likely introduce two devices, dubbed as Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL, latest leaks now shed more light on the specifications. The bigger variant of the Pixel 3 Lite has supposedly appeared on synthetic mobile benchmark test, Geekbench.[caption id="attachment_5351651" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Representational image of Pixel 3 XL.

While the listing corroborates the details that were reported earlier, it revealed an interesting aspect of the Pixel 3 Lite XL. The listing suggests that the phone could likely have 6 GB of RAM. Notably, the current Pixel 3 series offer a decent 4 GB of RAM, but users have been complaining that it's not enough. Apart from the processing hardware and RAM capacity, the Geekbench listing showcases the model number as ‘Foxconn Pixel 3 XL,’ which indicates that the handset might be manufactured by the Taiwanese multi-tech company.[caption id="attachment_5896181" align="alignnone" width="961"] Google Pixel 3 Lite XL Geekbench test.

The phones are tipped to feature a 12 MP rear camera, but unlike the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, the Lite version is said to have a single 8 MP selfie camera. In terms of design, a leaked hands-on image by tipster Ben Geskin revealed that the Pixel 3 Lite could have a slightly taller footprint compared to the Pixel 3. Moreover, both the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL are rumoured to retain the standard 3.5 mm audio jack which is missing on the current Pixel 3 series. Both the devices are said to offer 32 GB of native storage. The smaller version could likely feature a 5.56-inch display, while the bigger variant would supposedly have a 6-inch 1080p LCD display. Reports predict that Google might unveil its mid-range Pixel 3 Lite series at MWC 2019 next month.
