Google Pixel 8 Pro leak

As well as a lifestyle photo of the Pixel 8 Pro, which itaccidentally posted early on a Google Store website, the company has now blundered again. It added the handset to its"Pixel Simulator" pages, where prospective owners can see tutorials and 3D images of each of Google’s devices.

The Pixel 8 Pro section was soon taken down, but not before some keen-eyed online tipsters managed to get some screen grabs and images.

“No way, it happened AGAIN,” he exclaims on his new post.

No way. It happened AGAIN. Google themselves leaked the Pixel 8 Pro.You can see a full 360 degree view of the phone here, confirming the colors (Licorice, Porcelain, and Sky) as well as the components (like the temperature sensor). https://t.co/xfpn4t3tyR pic.twitter.com/UzmtR7ov1LSeptember 6, 2023

The Google site also confirmed the different colour options of porcelain (white), licorice (black) and sky (blue). Hovering over the small yellow dots on each view also revealed some key details, such as the much-rumoured temperature sensor

That is situated on the rear, as part of the camera bar. It is claimed that it will be able to take accurate ambient temperature and display the information on the front.

It’s also said that the handset could ditch the physical SIM tray – in some regions, at least. There are claims that it will switch entirely to eSIM instead.

While many handsets offer this option, it’s usually as part of a dual SIM strategy, so it’ll be interesting whether the move will impact sales. We’re not so bothered ourselves, as eSIM does seem to work well in the phones we’ve used it in.

We’ll bring you more on that and any further slip-ups as the live launch nears.
