Google Pixel 3 XL Lite spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon 710 SoC, 6GB RAM

Highlights: Google Pixel 3 XL Lite has popped up on Geekbench. The smartphone is listed with 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 710 SoC. It scored 1805 in single-core tests and 5790 in multi-core tests. Google is speculated to be working on two mid-range Pixel smartphones, the Pixel 3 Lite and the Pixel 3 XL Lite. We have already come across some reports and renders of the alleged smartphones and now, the larger variant of the two, the Pixel 3 XL Lite seems to have visited Geekbench. The smartphone has surfaced on the popular benchmarking website and the listing reveals some interesting information about it. As per the Geekbench listing, the upcoming Pixel 3 XL Lite smartphone could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC, coupled with 6GB RAM.  Additionally, the name of the phone, ‘Foxconn Pixel 3 XL’ suggests that the device is probably being assembled by Foxconn, which also assembles the standard Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones. The smartphone also managed to score 1805 in single-core tests and 5790 in multi-core tests. These scores are in the same range as other Snapdragon 710 powered phones like the Nokia 8.1 or the Oppo R17 Pro. While the Geekbench listing usually holds true in depicting the hardware a device might come packed with, the device that was benchmarked could very well be a prototype unit and the final device could be slightly different.  As per a previous report, Google could launch its  Pixel 3 Lite and the Pixel 3 XL Lite smartphones by Spring 2019 in the US. The two handsets are expected to come with a full HD+ resolution screen with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. However, the Pixel 3 XL Lite could sport a 6-inch display as compared to Pixel 3 Lite’s 5.5-inch screen. None of the two devices are said to feature a notch and could be announced with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Both the Lite variants of the Pixel 3 are said to be available in only white and black colours.  The Pixel 3 XL Lite was previously tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC and the new benchmark listing reaffirms the same. The Pixel 3 Lite could be launched running on the Snapdragon 670 SoC, coupled with 4GB RAM and options of two storage variants, 32GB and 64GB. The Pixel 3 Lite is expected to have a 2915 mAh battery and there is no info on the battery capacity of the larger Lite variant. The Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 XL Lite are speculated to be priced between $400 and 500 (Rs 28,000 and Rs 35,000 approx).  Related Reads:  Leaked Google Pixel 3 Lite case reveal 3.5mm headphone jack, single colour finish Google Pixel 3 Lite XL leaked in a 360-degree video, shows notch-less display
