The trend of Pixel phones being leaked (either unofficially or by Google themselves) well ahead of launch continues. Earlier this month, Google put out a promo video showing off the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro from all angles, while revealing the launch date as October 4th. The company also announced that the phones will go up for pre-orders in India a day later on October 5th. Now, a newly leaked promo video graciously provided to 91mobiles by tipster Kamila Wojciechowska reveals the camera features of the upcoming Pixel phones.

Google is clearly going big on cameras with the Pixel 8 series, as indicated through the dedicated promo video highlighting a bunch of new camera features. Google has already shown off the design of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. No surprises, they look very much like their predecessors, with the rear camera visor being retained and a punch-hole display at the front. Before Google’s October event, you can expect a few more leaks (some perhaps from Google themselves) to show up to leave little to the imagination. Until then, have a good day!
