Google leaks its own Pixel 8 Pro before launch on Google Store

HIGHLIGHTS

• Google ‘accidentally’ leaked the upcoming Pixel 8 Pro smartphone.
• It was spotted on the Google Store page under the subscriptions and services tab.
• The Google Pixel 8 Pro in Porcelain is seen in the image.

Google has had this reputation of leaking its own devices before they’re released. It seems to maintain that reputation as the upcoming Pixel 8 Pro was spotted on the official Google Store website. Here, a man is seen using what’s believed to be the Pixel 8 Pro in ‘Porcelain’.

Pixel 8 Pro leaked by Google

The Pixel 8 Pro showed up on the Google Store under the subscriptions and services page. Google doesn’t explicitly say it’s the Pixel 8 Pro but the design matches leaked renders of the phone, and the alt text of the image also says, “a person takes a call on a Pixel 8 Pro phone in Porcelain.”

You clearly don’t need more evidence than this to figure out that it is indeed the Pixel 8 Pro. The camera module also gives it away with all three sensors now tucked together inside the pill-shaped module. In the Pixel 7 Pro, the cameras are separated at the back. Porcelain is also a new colour for the Pixel lineup, and one that has been rumoured previously. The Pixel 8 Pro is expected to come in three more colours of Jade, Licorice, and Sky.
