Google will officially unveil its Pixel 3 in an event next Tuesday, but the device has already been thoroughly leaked in the last couple of weeks. Now, it appears that a Hong Kong retailer has already begun to sell the device, according to Engadget, which got their hands on a Pixel 3 XL.

Engadget editor Richard Lai purchased the device from a Hong Kong retailer, and the device appears to be the real thing. The device has been thoroughly leaked in the lead up its launch, showing off the screen, colors, wireless charging capabilities, cameras, and more. Lai put together a video review of the phone, noting that the device he has in hand matches up with the leaks that we’ve seen. The Pixel 3 XL in question has 6.3-inch screen, has 128 GB of space, and that the screen looks good on a sunny day. The video also runs through the phone’s gestures and some of the specs: it uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, only has 4 GB of RAM (he speculates that there might be a higher-end version with a big more) and 3,732 3,732 mAh battery.
