My bad, glass.. And hell no on the plastic! It really makes a phone feel cheap. I love the metal the most, but, I would like wireless charging too, soooo, I could possibly live with a glass back. I guess ceramic might work too? Either way, it needs to feel premium. I'm not paying $800-900 to have a phone that feels cheap.

Someone is having a laugh.
I call BS on this image!
People are so quick to believe anything they see these days.

This is clearly the real deal. I don't even know why you guys are doubting him.
Surely after over a decade of Android phones, Google doesn't think we're a bunch of iPhone fanboys who will buy a newer model 'because it's the new one'.
This 'prototype' doesn't appear to be that compelling of a reason to change devices.

A little disappointing, I expected a completely different look from the Pixel 2 lineup. It looks a lot like the current design
What infuriates me the most is that it still hase only 4gig of Ram!
I am a heavy pokemon go and ingress player, and the amount of app realoding I have to deal with is just soo annoying!

There's no way we can be certain but this could very well be an actual Google prototype. Check out this article, the logo visible in this 3xl picture is very similar to the logo on the back of last year's 2xl prototype:

Things could and most likely will change. The device is supposed to launch in October so there's still time. The back cover is like some type of glass.. It's definitely NOT METAL OR plastic.
Hmmmm, what to do. If this is real then my gut tells me to skip it because I really hate the design but then my next thought is what would I get instead? I've been getting a new flagship phone every year since 2011 and the thought of keeping a device for more than a year seems weird to me. I really really love getting updates every month and enjoy stock android much more than the third party stuff that gets added on top. But, if this notch is a real thing I might consider the Note or V40 even though losing monthly updates and stock android would be a huge deal to me. I just hate that notch so much I'm not sure I want to live with it. I really hope they don't do the notch because otherwise I'm 100% getting a Pixel 3 XL (have bought the Pixel XL, and currently own the Pixel 2 XL) but the notch will make me seriously consider another option.

Is the glass wrapping around the edges of the device? It looks reflective and like it merges with the top glass
Going based off the recent pictures that were posted on the xda homepage, Google is bringing back at least one of the speaker grills from the Nexus 6P.
So they just add a notch to pixel 2 xl.. same 4 GB ran, same single sensor camera. Fu*k this if these leaks are true, not worth the upgrade.
No! Plastic is the best material on a phone! This is why we can't have nice things! Plastic can be easily replaced/removed, is RF transparent, and is compatible with wireless charging. It also absorbs more energy from an impact than glass or metal.
For all that, it's cheaper too.
