Two New Smartphone – likely the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL – Hit on FCC


With all the Google Pixel 3 leaks we’ve been talking about over the previous few weeks, we sometimes overlook that usually at this point in the release sequence, FCC listings are some of our first looks at latest devices.

But nothing has been normal about the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL so far.

With that in mind, we now have FCC schedules for two Google-branded devices that are nearly certainly the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL. Notably, the FCC schedules were filed directly by Google, which is a big alteration from the Google Pixel and Google Pixel 2 listings. Those FCC requests were filed by the manufacturers of the devices, exactly HTC and LG.


Another exciting tidbit we can collect from these FCC papers is the supposed model numbers of the Pixel 3 line. We can’t be completely certain, obviously, but it looks like the Google Pixel 3 will have the model number G013A while the Google Pixel 3 XL will perhaps go by G013C.

The Google Pixel 2 was G011A and the Pixel 2 XL was G011C, so it seems to line up flawlessly.

Other than that, there’s not considered that’s too revelatory in these particles. It looks like the band provision for the Pixel 3 line is going to be similar to the Pixel 2, which means it will work on the four main carriers in the United States (even if Verizon still has a high-class for carrier sales, which may or not be the case).

You can see the full FCC filings for what we assume is the Pixel 3 here, and the same for the Pixel 3 XL here.
