Google has just “leaked” the Pixel 8 Pro

Not surprisingly, the next Pixel smartphone, which is scheduled for launch in October, has been leaked. Except this time, Google isn’t even trying to hide.

On Wednesday, a now deleted image, discovered by X user Android Setting and Mishaal Rahman, on the Google Subscriptions & Services web page, showed a person holding the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel Watch.

The question of whether the wearable was the original Pixel Watch or the upcoming 2nd generation model has not yet been decided. What can be confirmed, thanks to the “alt text” of the image, is that the person is taking a call “on a Pixel 8 Pro phone”.”This is the same color that Google presented with its Pixel Fold a few months ago, with beige and golden hues.

The telephoto lens is separated from the main lens and the ultra-wide lens of the Pixel 7 Pro

As for the rest of the hardware represented, the Pixel 8 Pro seems to have a more rounded body this time, with more curved corners than the previous model. There is also a singular lens cover that protects what should be three improved cameras on the back. On the other hand, the telephoto lens is separated from the main lens and the ultra-wide lens of the Pixel 7 Pro.

A leak of a Google Pixel smartphone weeks, or even months, before its launch is nothing new. This is a rather perverse way of breaking into news cycles in the middle of other people’s announcements. In the case of this week, the leak of the Google Pixel 8 Pro came just a few hours after Apple made official the launch of its next iPhone 15, and this is probably not a coincidence.
