Google’s most prized smartphone, the Pixel 3 XL, was officially launched a few days ago at a special event in NY. The unveiling of the new phone cleared many of the speculations but the phone had been leaked so much prior to launch that most if not all had already been known. Even before the official launch people had seen the phone in leaked renders and it is no surprise that the “notorious notch” on Pixel 3 didn’t receive much love. It is perhaps one of the biggest notches we have seen on a smartphone and is definitely unaesthetic no matter how you look at it. Good news, sort of, is that you can hide the notch on the Pixel 3 by following our tutorial.
