Google done goofed.。

In a commit message on the Android Open Source Project, spotted by。 XDA-Developers 。, Google has confirmed that the mysterious Pixel 3 is a real thing. We don't yet know where, when, or how, but it's coming.。

The commit, called "Cherrypick," reads "This change added the config because the HAL V_1_2 only supports Pixel 3, and the new Auto Selection Network UI is based on HAL V_1_2. So we set the flag to decide which Auto Selection Network UI should be used based in the device type." 。

Thanks for signing up! 。

"HAL" here refers to something called a "Hardware Abstraction Layer," or software that connects a phone's hardware to the Android operating system. This particular HAL impacts cellular connectivity, meaning we might be able to expect new radio features in the Pixel 3. 。

Droid Life also posits that the HAL is related to Project Treble, a piece of software in Android Oreo that enables phones to update more quickly. 。 This isn't to be confused with the affordable Pixel phone we expect Google to release this summer. That phone is not expected to carry the Pixel 3 branding. Anonymous sources told the。 Economic Times。
