Although Google does not seem to want to sell smartphones in high volumes, the fact that the company is gearing up to launch two affordable Pixel phones could mark a change in strategy.
You can find the full specs list below, but there are a few things that aren't mentioned there. First off, the Pixel 3 Lite is a cheap smartphone, which is why Google has opted for a plastic body. Secondly, unlike the current Pixel models, the upcoming Pixel 3 Lite will include a 3.5mm audio jack on the top side.
Another major reveal is related to the camera, which apparently is just as good as the ones on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Even though the device shown off in the video is a pre-production unit, it takes exceptional pictures.
The only downside seems to be the fact that both Pixel 3 Lite models will ship with Android 9 Pie on board, if they'll be launched on the market this spring, immediately after Google I/O 2019.
