The Pixel 3 Lite is pretty much identical to the original Pixel 3, complete with rather large bezels by today's standards, and even a similar screen size of 5.5-inches and 1080p full-HD resolution.
What's not clear is whether the Pixel 3 Lite uses an OLED display, as the original Pixel 3 does. OLED screens are the holy-grail of display technologies, as they display a true color black, as well as better contrast and richer colors. But they're usually reserved for expensive flagship devices. It's likely that the Pixel 3 Lite uses a more traditional, and less expensive, LCD display.
While the original Pixel 3's metal and glass construction helped give it a high-end feel, the entire Pixel 3 Lite is made up of plastic, according to Andro News.
The regular white Pixel 3 models have a bright pastel green power button, whereas the Pixel 3 Lite appears to have a brighter green power button.
The rear camera on the Pixel 3 Lite is the same as the original Pixel 3, according to Andro News. If true, that's a pretty significant feature for the Pixel 3 Lite, as Google's Pixel cameras are often touted as being the best cameras on any smartphones.
One change over the regular Pixel 3 models is the front-facing selfie camera. The Lite uses a single selfie camera, whereas the regular Pixel 3 has two front-facing selfie cameras. That means no ultra-wide angle selfies if you're thinking about getting the Pixel 3 Lite, which is an actually meaningful feature for selfie takers.
Contrary to the trend of removing headphone jacks, Google is supposedly keeping it on the Pixel 3 Lite. While this makes me happy, the headphone jack's placement on the top of the Pixel 3 Lite is unfortunate. It's a matter of personal opinion, and I believe headphone jacks work better on the bottom, so that a headphone cable doesn't dangle awkwardly above the device.
The Pixel 3 Lite will apparently run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 670, a new mid-range processor that's not likely as powerful as the Snapdragon 845 that's turning the wheels in the regular Pixel 3.
The Lite packs 4GB of RAM, which is fine for the mid-range category that the Pixel 3 Lite belongs to. It will, however, make the regular Pixel 3's 4GB of RAM look relatively meager.
As for storage, we can expect 32GB of flash memory, which is also on the low side. But as Andro News mentions, there's little need for much storage space if you use cloud services like Google Photos and media streaming services like Spotify for music.
The Pixel 3 Lite will also only have one loudspeaker found on the bottom of the phone, whereas the regular Pixel 3 has two front-facing loudspeakers.
