    Google's big hardware event is coming October 9 , and we're getting a clearer picture of what to expect from the show as the days go by. The event is promoted as the "Pixel 3 launch event," but the company's previous two hardware events featured five or more product announcements.

Today's Pixel 3 leak includes a set of alleged press images, and it looks... pretty much how we were expecting. We can't verify them, of course, but the photos depict both standard and large versions of the phone - and if they're to be believed, the bigger model will come with an iPhone XS -like notch cut out on the top. Otherwise, this confirms a lot of the earlier leaks , including a single rear-facing camera and dual front-facing lenses as well as bottom...
