Speculation abounded thatGooglewould release a third, cheaper variant of itsGoogle Pixel 3line, but no announcement was made at the October launch event. Now, however, we have images and specs of a prototype which appears to be theGoogle Pixel 3 Lite.

Since the Pixel 3 XL leaks turned out to be mostly true, we can only assume this Google Pixel 3 Lite leak will pan out in a similar fashion.

According to the leaked images, the Google Pixel 3 Lite prototype is made of plastic, rather than the premium glass materials used for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. The device also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, which no Pixel device has had since the original came out in 2016.

The form factor of the prototype seems similar to the Google Pixel 3, in that it is not as big as the Google Pixel 3 XL. It also does not feature a display notch.

According toRozetked, these are the specs of the Google Pixel 3 Lite prototype:

According to the anonymous leaker, who claims to have used the device for some time now, the camera in this prototype is the same as the camera in the Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL. If that’s true, essentially you’re getting the biggest and best feature of the Pixel 3 line but with a cheaper build and less powerful specs.
