Google Pixel devices are the dream phones of many. It’s obvious that for most of them it remains just a dream itself given their flagship pricing. However, as a relief for Pixel fans, it’s earlier rumored about Google working on budget/lite version of Pixels. The rumors seem to be a fact as model numbers of the purported budget Pixel devices are now out.
As per the source, Google is indeed going to come up with the lite version of its recent flagships – the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Accordingly, the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 XL bear the model numbers G020B and G020F. Note that, the reports are unofficial, moreover no official words yet from Google regarding the existence of Pixel Lite’s. But since the report comes from a reliable source it’s worth consideration.
The report further states that both these smartphones will be manufactured by Foxconn. It also reveals that the smartphones gonna see a worldwide launch soon, starting from the intensely competitive Indian market.
While nothing exact about the specs can be said now, it’s expected that the Pixel 3 Lite might be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 Mobile Processor. Well, don’t expect flagship processors in these devices as they’re meant for budget (mid-range) segment. On the other hand, the Pixel 3 XL Lite will be powered by a more powerful Snapdragon 710 Mobile Platform. Just like the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones, the Lite versions are likely to feature “only” 4GB of RAM. Additionally, the Pixel 3 Lite is codenamed “Sargo”, while the XL version is codenamed “Bonito”. Needless to say, both handsets are expected to ship with the latest Android Pie.
