Latest Google Pixel 3 XL leak comes from back of a Lyft

It's remarkable how crazy this year's been for major smartphone launch leaks. No major smartphone manufacturer has been spared by early and embarrassing looks at their upcoming products and now Google has had another major Pixel 3 XL leak from the most unlikely source.

We get to see a real-live Pixel 3 XL, this isn't from a stolen pallet of devices or from a publicly accessible video stream but from the back of a Lyft. Someone with early access to the device left it in a Lyft car they were riding. Coincidentally, the Lyft driver mistook the lost phone for his own Pixel 2 XL (what are the chances). The driver noticed the large notch on the face of the the phone and realized he was looking at a still unannounced Google Pixel XL.

The story has a happy ending as the owner and the Pixel 3 XL were reunited, but not before the Lyft driver took a bunch of photos of the device and shared it with the world at larger. So here we are,another look at what Google has in store come October.
