Google Pixel 3, 3 XL will gain external microphone support
Google has confirmed that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will gain external microphone support.
IsaacOnCamera, a Google employee on the Pixel User Community page, broke the news late last week.

There’s no word yet on which microphones will be supported.
