It's that time of the year, when Android fans wait for the next hardware offering by Google and it seems like the launch date of the Pixel 3 may have been leaked — by Google. 

According to This Is Tech Today and h/t Android Police, a leak was spotted on the content marketing platform called Famebit. The leak suggests that the Pixel 3 will launch on October 4, 2018. 

In case you didn't know, Famebit is owned by Google and is designed to connect companies with content creators. So, it is a platform for brands to work with YouTube channels and other content creators. 

The Famebit listing that mentions the Pixel 3 was probably written by Google or its ad agency. The posting was looking for Canadian content creators for the Pixel 3 launch on October 4. 

There is no confirmation whether this post was by Google or not, so take it with a grain of salt. Here is the screenshot for reference:

The date is pretty much at the same time as the previous Pixel launches that have taken place on October 4th. So, it's not a surprise that the launch date has not changed, but this is the first time we've seen something with substantial value.

The Pixel 3 is touted to have a Snapdragon 845 processor and will launch in two variants. One of the two handsets will have a notch, more likely the larger XL variant. 

The Pixel 3 will also have a single-camera setup on the back with two selfie cameras at the front. The Pixel 2 was one of our favourite flagship devices from last year and is still considered to have one of the best cameras on a smartphone. We are super excited to see how the Pixel 3 will perform in comparison to its predecessor.
