Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have finally arrived, and there’s not much to be surprised about in terms of specs on paper. All the leaks were spot-on. There’s no Pixel Ultra. So while we would — in a normal year — be barely processing where these phones sit in the market, analyzing how they compare to the competition, and talking about their looks (or lack thereof), we’ve had the luxury of already having done more of that than average. That said, what’s new as of today?

Besides a few teasers that suggested mint and pink options, we didn’t have any solid info on what alternative colors the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL would be arriving in.

Now, one leakster says the rumored “Sand” pink Google Pixel 3 is indeed an option and offered up a render to all but prove it…
