NEW DELHI: The Google Pixel 3 XL was spotted after a man accidentally dropped it off in the back of a Lyft car. These images were released by a person named as Anonymous Alligator to the android police.

It is reported that the man named 'Alligator' is a Lyft driver, who found the phone in the back seat of his car after he dropped off a few passengers.

He had initially thought that the phone was his own Pixel 2 XL which had somehow fallen at the back of the car. He soon realized it was the 3 XL after seeing the notch and Google logo on the back.

It is said that the man, after shooting a few photos and sending them to Android Police, returned the phone to the original owner.

The Google Pixel 3 XL phone is expected to be unveiled along with the no-notch Pixel 3 on October 9th at an event in New York City.

Earlier, an unboxing video claimed that phone could come with 6.7-inch screen and 3430mAh battery. A leak from XDA Developers via a forum user named "dr.guru" last month revealed Google could release the smartphone in a "Clearly White" colour variant.

The device's rear does not have Pixel line's signature two-tone effect, with what appears to be a reflective glass covering the whole back panel, the report added.
