A new budget Google Pixel, ‘Pixel Lite’ phone with a headphone jack revealed in new leaks

A new ‘budget’ Pixel phone has recently surfaced the internet in an array of new leaks. The phone practically looks a carbon copy of the expensive Pixel 3. Interestingly, the source for the leaked images is the same which leaked the Google Pixel 3 XL months before its official release. The Russian blogger that first leaked the Pixel 3 XL and unveiled Google Pixel 3 XL’s controversial design is behind this leak too, so there’s a high probability that this leak would turn out to be fairly accurate too.  However, as is the case with all unofficial news sources, this one should be taken with a grain of salt too until there is some official word from Google itself.

According to the publication, the smartphone comes with a plastic body, a 5.5 inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2220 x 1080 pixels, and a Snapdragon 670. Compared to its bigger brother, which features a Snapdragon 845 processor, AMOLED display and metal/glass the lite version seems to cut a lot of corners to save money. The existing Google Pixel which exactly looks like this also features a 5.5-inch screen, but its an AMOLED one.

The peculiar thing to notice here is that there is a ‘C’ symbol at the back of the phone instead of a ‘G’. It could point towards this leak being a fabricated one or Google might be using a placeholder for its prototype device. Things will be much more clear once more leaks arrive in the days to come.
