Ahead of Google announcing the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones, there was a rumor suggesting that Google could be launching not just two, but three Pixel smartphones for 2018. However the announcement came and went with only two Pixel 3 devices, but now newly leaked photos suggest otherwise.
According to a post on Russian tech blog Rozetked (via Android Police), they managed to get their hands on what appears to be the “budget” version of the Pixel 3. Apparently this device has the codename “Sargo” which was actually spotted in an ARCore APK teardown from last week.
Based on the alleged specs of the phone, we are looking at a 5.56-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2220×1080. It is also rumored to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and will pack 32GB of storage with a 2,915mAh battery. As Android Police points out, the use of the Snapdragon 670 has typically been found in handsets mostly designated for Asia, which means that this phone, the Pixel 3 Lite, might not be launched in the US.
Take it with a grain of salt for now, but given Google’s interest in emerging markets with its Android Go platform, so for them to create a budget Pixel handset for such markets wouldn’t really be that much of a stretch.

According to a new report from Thurott, Microsoft has been working on a new console in the Xbox One family. This cheaper model could play regular Xbox One games, but there would be no Blu-Ray drive.
This move would lower the price of the entry-level Xbox One. An Xbox One S officially starts at $299 but you can currently find it for around $250 on Amazon. The disc-less Xbox One could start at $199.
If you already have an Xbox One and physical games, you could imagine going to an official retailer to trade your discs for a digital download code. Let’s hope that this new Xbox comes with a big hard drive for those who have a slow internet connection.
Back when Microsoft first unveiled the Xbox One in 2013, the company wanted to make a big push toward digital games. The original plan was that you would associate your physical games with your Xbox account. After that, you could play the game even without inserting the disc. Microsoft also planned a way to lend a digital game to a friend for 30 days.
After some backlash, Microsoft gave up on this plan and switched back to a more traditional system. But it’s been five years, digital games are more popular than ever and internet connections are faster than ever.
Microsoft also thinks the future of games is based on subscriptions. With the Xbox Game Pass, you can access dozens of games for $10 per month. You can also subscribe to EA Access on the Xbox One. Eventually, you could imagine replacing the Xbox altogether with a subscription for a streaming service. But we’re not there yet.
According to Thurott, Microsoft is also working on an updated Xbox One S that could be a bit cheaper. This one would have a traditional disc drive.
In an update this week, Samsung notified some Galaxy smartphone users that they’d no longer have access to unlimited free themes. Instead, with their update to Android 9 Pie, users will be limited to fourteen days of any one free theme. This is not an optional rule change, and it’ll affect all developers. While this update occurred on some Samsung … Continue reading

Dogs have been everything we’ve ever needed them to be, including volunteers for clinical trials of drugs meant for both people and pooches.
