Google's expected to announce a Pixel 3 and a Pixel 3 XL. Much of the Pixel 3 XL has already leaked out thanks to various unboxings by Russian YouTubers who were able to illegally obtain the unreleased phone. Not to mention someone apparently left a Pixel 3 XL in a Lyft (yeah, really).

The Pixel 3 is rumored to resemble the Pixel 2 XL with bezels above and below the screen to accommodate stereo speakers.

The Pixel 3 XL, on the other hand, has drawn much criticism for its rather deep notch -- an intentional design to fit a second speaker and extra selfie camera tech for "Super Selfies."

Based on leaks, both phones will only have a single rear camera, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip and a fingerprint reader on the back.

All will be known on Oct. 9! Stay tuned!
