The possibility of mid-range counterparts for the Pixel 3 and 3 XL is the subject of much rumor and speculation at present. It is thought that these new Google phones may be powered by the Snapdragon 670 and 710 respectively. A new listing on Geekbench may have confirmed this in part.

We don't need more RAM. What we need is a sane priced Pixel with a big battery that's available properly to international markets.
Must have: same, exactly same premium camera. Or why even care.
Nice to have: non glass body, non 240Hz PWM screen, audio jack.
