There's been a steady stream of Google PIxel 3 and Pixel 3 XL leaks coming out ahead of the devices' official unveiling on October 9th, and today we've got another to add to the list.
The latest Pixel 3 leak shows off the smaller of the two handsets in some Google marketing materials. This includes a series of marketing videos that demonstrate how to use the Pixel 3. There are some features that many folks will likely already know about, like how to add an app to your home screen, but there are some interesting details included as well.
The video shows the user placing a business card in front of the Pixel 3 with its camera app open. The user then taps the email address on the business card, which brings up a prompt that the user then taps to open Gmail and begin an email to that address. Another notable feature shown in the video is a user highlighting the name of a restaurant in an email in the Gmail app, then the Pixel 3 recognizing that it's a restaurant name and offering a "Reserve" shortcut that sends the user to OpenTable to make a reservation.
Other features shown in this video include using the Quick Settings menu, scrolling down on the rear fingerprint reader to pull down the notification shade, and squeezing the sides of the Pixel 3 to launch Google Assistant.
We've seen a lot of details on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL leak in recent months, but it's still worth getting excited about Google's October 9th event. Not only will we finally get the full spec list, launch date, and pricing info for the new phones, but it'll be interesting to see how Google improves the camera performance on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL after the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have become some of the best-performing cameras in the smartphone market.
