Weekly Recap: Wait, so You Don’t Want a Notch on the Pixel 3 XL?

Thanks to multiple leaks, it seems all but confirmed by Google itself that the Pixel 3 XL will have a notch. We know this isn’t what everyone was hoping for, but chin up, notches aren’t the end of the world.

Other news this week was our posting of a big camera shootout between the Pixel 2 XL, OnePlus 6, and LG G7. That was a lot of fun, so definitely check it out. We also learned things are now all good between the US government and ZTE thanks to $1 billion fine. Nothing like a bit of money to solve a problem.
