Google Pixel 8 Pro Protoype leaks

Here’s our first look at a prototype of the upcoming Google Pixel 8 Pro. And it comes with very few surprises, actually.

The biggest change we can see here is that Google is going with a two-tone backside again. With the top, above the camera bar, looking darker than the bottom part. Of course, that could also just be due to the lighting in the room where this picture was taken.

The other big change we’re seeing here is the camera bar. It looks like there’s now one cut out for the triple-camera setup. Instead of an oval for the ultrawide and wide sensors, and another cutout for the telephoto lens. It also doesn’t look like it’s quite as curved as the Pixel 7 Pro.

On the front, there’s not a whole lot that this shows us. However, it does show that this is a flat display, instead of a curved one, so that’s good to see.

Pixel 8 Pro codename has been rumored to be “husky”

Many of you might be wondering why we think this is the Pixel 8 Pro? Well, we have seen leaks and rumors that the codename for the Pixel 8 Pro is going to be “Husky”, and that’s what’re seeing on this model. It’s also quite obvious that this is a Pixel device here.

There’s a few other things that these images of “husky” show us, including the fact that it has 12GB of Samsung’s LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of storage from SKHynix. That’s the same RAM and Storage as the Pixel 7 Pro, so it doesn’t look like there’s any upgrades in that department.

Google is set to announce the Pixel 8 series later this year, typically around the beginning of October. So we still have a couple of months before this device is made official. And that means plenty more leaks coming.
