If a new report is accurate, it might even show the status of grocery pickups and deliveries.

It's been a crazy week for fans of the Google Pixel smartphone line. After a steady trickle of leaks in the first half of the year originating mainly from industry sources, we've now had three separate instances of the Google Pixel 3 XL appearing in public. The first and second leaks originated on our very own forums, and while they revealed the new design and some of the basic hardware specifications, the leakers were unable to share further details because the devices weren't functional. This month, however, several bloggers and YouTubers, mainly from the Ukraine and Russia, got their hands on stolen pre-production Pixel 3 XL units. We've seen a full unboxing video, AnTuTu benchmark rundown, sample photos, and even full reviews. Given how many Pixel 3 XLs are now out in the wild, we haven't even scratched the surface of how many leaks we'll be getting ahead of the device's expected October launch. To help you wrap your head around the plethora of leaks we've seen, here's a summary of everything we know so far about the Google Pixel 3 XL.
