A leak from prominent mobile tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks on Twitter) shows a 360-degree video of the reportedly forthcoming Pixel XL handset designed by Google and manufactured by HTC. The video, according to Hemmerstoffer, is based off of factory blueprints that he managed to get his hands on.
The leak also reveals the device’s dimensions at 154.72mm x 75.74mm with a 7.3mm bottom width and 8.5mm top width. That would make the handset significantly smaller than both the iPhone 7 Plus (158.2mm x 77.9mm x 7.3mm) and its predecessor, the Nexus 6P (159.3mm x 77.8 mm x 7.3mm).
Hemmerstoffer commented on Twitter that he believed the extra thickness up top was due to the camera.
