Currently, it is difficult, if not impossible, not to discover a mobile before its official presentation. There are always rumors, leaks somewhere and details that allow us to know, sometimes in their entirety, the devices. However, there are brands more affected by this than others, and Google leaks phones months before launch.
This is the case of the latest leak of the Google Pixel 8 Pro, the company’s new premium range terminal which is expected to be released in October, but once the ban is opened, it is most likely that we will continue to learn about features before Google makes it official. Although there are leaks… and leaks, and that of the Pixel 8 Pro has been quite innocent.
We already know the back of the Pixel 8 Pro: it will have a mysterious sensor
This is not the first leak that this model has suffered. In mid-March, and thanks to CAD files, OnLeaks created a render showing what the Pixel 8 Pro would be like. In those images, what was seen in previous generations of the Google mobile was followed closely, with that peculiar design of the camera module , but with some more sensor.
Apart from uniting the wide angle, the telephoto and the wide angle under a single glass (in the Pixel 7 Pro there were two glasses because the telephoto was separated), we could see a mysterious sensor right under the flash. Well, the first leaked photograph confirms that what OnLeaks designed in its day was completely right.
The first thing: in terms of design, we have those conservative lines, but with the camera module that we had seen in the leak of March. So, one less surprise for the official presentation. And hardware-wise, we can see that that unit packs 12GB of Samsung-manufactured LPDDR5 memory, as well as 128GB.
The RAM will not be the only thing from Samsung within the Google phone, since we will have a Tensor again, the G3 with the code name ‘Zuma’But at the moment we don’t know much more. Speaking of code names, the Pixel 8 Pro is ‘Husky’, something that had also been leaked before.
That said, the way in which this leak has occurred is curious. As see you in droid life, it is a test unit, a prototype (hence the protruding frames on the front, don’t worry because it’s probably a cover) and the person who leaked it commented on Reddit that he had received the mobile from the “Google device team for testing”.
It was too innocent a photo shared on the social network and, in fact, immediately deleted it. They must have told him something or he realized what he was doing, but it was too late. We do not know what will happen to that person, but we do know that the Pixel 8 Pro has a rear as we expected thanks to previous leaks.
