Here’s another look at the Pixel 3 XL after it was left in the back of a Lyft
July 10, 2025
It seems like we get new hands-on images ofGoogle’s Pixel 3 XLevery other day at this point. In addition to the handset being seen onpublic transportationin Canada and a Russian blog completely unboxing the phone, we now have fresh photos of the phone after it was accidentally left in the back of a Lyft.
As first reported byAndroid Police, a Lyft driver noticed a phone in the back of their car after dropping off several passengers and believed it to be his Pixel 2 XL. But after spotting the notched display and Google logo, he realized that he’d found someone’s pre-production Pixel 3 XL.
As you can see from the above photos, there isn’t anything new to learn about the handset. The device itself appears to have been kept in a case to help disguise its identity, but, clearly, that didn’t work out as planned.
Shortly after taking photos of the Pixel 3 XL, the Lyft driver reportedly got ahold of the handset’s owner and returned the device.
We will learn more about the Pixel 3 XL (if there is anything we don’t know yet) at the company’s fall hardware event. Current rumors suggest that the announcement has been pushed back toOctober 9and will take place in NYC.
Honestly, at this point, it doesn’t seem like Google or any of its employees are even trying to keep thePixel 3and Pixel 3 XL a secret anymore. What do you think about the sheer number of leaks thus far? Let us know in the comment section below.
