The Pixel 3 should not have any speakers grills at all.

If these Pixel 3 leaks turn out to be true then I'm going to be really disappointed. Not because of the notch, but rather the presence of speaker grills on the phone.

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but
