See the Entire Pixel 3 XL In Early Hands-on Video

"Another bad point: the Pixel 2 XL lens doesn’t protrude from the its backplane, like the 3 XL. This makes the 3 XL wobble when you place it on its back on a desk while the 2XL stays flat against it." WRONG! I have a Pixel 2XL and its protruding lens makes a case mandatory. Has the author actually ever had a 2XL?
