Two photos of what looks like an early prototype of Google’s upcoming Pixel 3 XL have been leaked. The images first surfaced over at the XDA forums and were then posted by Android Police. The phone’s external design — notch, chin, stereo speakers, and single real camera — line up with recent rumors and a report from Bloomberg that revealed some of what Google has in store for consumers this fall. Instead of Google’s signature G, the device has a different emblem on the back, which is likely there to designate that it’s non-final prototype hardware.

The dual front-facing cameras inside the phone’s notch were also mentioned in Bloomberg’s report, though we still don’t know what the second sensor will be used for. What’s most peculiar to me about the design is that the Pixel 3 XL seemingly has glossy sides running all around it, whereas the Pixel 2 (particularly in black) had a matte, textured finish aside from the glass section at the top. There’s still a matte portion here, but it almost looks like it’s a specially treated area of a glass rear panel. There’s no obvious line break between the two.
