The day after Google confessed to almost exposing the private data of hundreds of thousands of Google+ accounts, the ad giant unveiled perhaps the most-leaked phone of all time.

The Pixel 3 and 3XL was actually available for purchase, in a way, before its launch event in New York today. First prototype units were on sale on the dark web, and by last week, final retail units were freely available in Hong Kong. To cap it all, the order page was leaked in the US by a buggy Verizon webpage.
