Google is gearing up to launch its new Pixel 3 series in less than a month, and it looks like some people are already using one. A Pixel 3 XL has been spotted in Toronto, which probably means there are plenty more out there.

Adopting a notch on the previous generation Pixels was bad enough, but implementing an even bigger notch we don't think will work.
In fact, Android and Pixel fans will have a hard time accepting or using the XL version, and it's very likely that the regular Google Pixel 3 with the smaller screen and no notch will be the best option in the series.
Theoretically, the new Pixel series of devices will be released on October 4. However, it seems that the Pixel 3 XL is already being used by a few people, most likely a Google employee or an influencer.
According to a photo posted by MobileSyrup, someone posted a photo of a Pixel 3 XL on Snapchat, which was being used by someone in Toronto, Canada. From the looks of it, the photo is real and closely matches the rumors and leaks that have been circulating so far.
While it's not entirely certain that this is a legitimate image, one thing is certain. It's not particularly flattering, highlighting the giant notch.
Interestingly, most people aren't concerned with the fact that it might be fake, but with the notch. At this point, we can only hope that the front-facing cameras and other features will make up for the not-so-great design.
