Folks on X, previously referred to as Twitter, discovered evidence of what seems to be an interactive rendering of the Pixel 8 Pro revealed to the Google Store. The “Get to Know Your Hardware” web page featured “Pixel 8 Pro” in the URL and a 3D mannequin of the Pixel 8 Pro, which you could possibly pan and rotate. Clicking on particular factors of curiosity revealed a few of the options, together with the Pro’s extra-long digicam bar and a temperature sensor proper subsequent to the rear-facing triple digicam array. The much-ballyhooed SIM slot additionally seems on the prime of the system, main us to imagine Google just isn’t able to go full eSIM a la the iPhone 14. The hype for the Pixel 8 launch continues to rise—gotta make certain the Pixel is on the mind when the new Apple iPhone headlines take over subsequent week.
The renderings additionally revealed the Pixel 8 Pro’s new colorways. Blue is the hue Google goes with in this 12 months’s era of Pixel gadgets, maybe as a tribute to the reprisal of Eiffel 65’s “I’m Blue.” It’s extra seemingly blue—or “sky”—as a result of the Pixel 7a is a pleasant pearly blue, as that’s how Google’s set a precedent for what its flagship coloration choices could also be. The Pixel 8 Pro may even are available in “licorice” (black), and “porcelain,” a light-weight grey hue. We’re nonetheless uncertain what the common Pixel 8’s particular coloration might be, however it’ll seemingly be a light-weight blue to match the remainder of the household.
Unfortunately, the Pixel 8 Pro renderings web page hyperlink has been taken down. You can navigate to it right here, a hyperlink I discovered by way of DuckDuckGo. But don’t count on greater than a spinning ball. At the very least, the circulating pictures depict a Pixel 8 Pro that appears very like the leaked renders floating round the previous few months, together with one other certainly one of Google’s unintentional reveals from final week. The corners are far more curved than its predecessors, together with each different accent.
I’ve reached out to Google to ask if there’s something official on the matter, although I don’t usually count on to listen to again when it’s about leaks equivalent to these. We’ll see what Google formally has in retailer on Oct. 4 at its Pixel occasion in New York City. Until then, we’ve got Apple’s subsequent iPhone to tide us over with its official annoucement Sept. 12.
