Earlier: After several rumors, Google has officially announced its hardware event on October 9th in New York City. The invite has the number ‘3’ to indicate that the Pixel 3 series will be unveiled.

The Pixel 3 XL is said to pack a 6.2-inch (1440 x 2960) 19:9 aspect ratio display with a notch, while other specifications are expected to be similar the Pixel 3, but it will have a slightly bigger 3430mAh battery with support for wireless charging.
