Description:
Photos of what appears to be a real life Google Pixel 8 Pro have leaked, revealing a lot about the phone.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Googles phones tend to leak more than most, and the Pixel 8 line has been no exception, as weve encountered numerous spec leaks and renders. But now perhaps the biggest and most credible Pixel 8 Pro leak yet has emerged, as weve seen actual hands-on photos of the phone.

These were posted to Reddit by a user who claimed to have received the phone from the device team in Google for testing. Theyve since deleted the post
(and their entire Reddit account) but not before Android Police and others saved the images.

From these, we can see a phone that looks a lot like the previously leaked renders of the Pixel 8 Pro , and has some notable differences to the Pixel 7 Pro . Leaked photos of the Pixel 8 Pro (Image credit: Reddit)

These changes include a seemingly less curved screen (though it looks to
still have a slight curve), and a slightly different camera design, with all three rear lenses housed in a black pill-shaped panel, and an additional sensor (believed to based on previous leaks be for sensing temperature) under the flash. The images also show more rounded corners than the Pixel 7 Pro sports.

We wouldnt read too much into the color of the phone or the weird pattern on the back, as it looks as though this Pixel 8 Pro might be in a case, and even if its not, its a prototype model, so this probably wouldnt be a retail-ready finish anyway. Some specs as well

Along with the design, these images also show some specs on-screen, with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage mentioned. Theres also the word husky, which has been previously linked to the Pixel 8 Pro as a codename , and the word zuma, which has previously been linked to the Tensor G3 chipset that were expecting will power the phone.

As ever with leaks wed take all of this with a pinch of salt, but it
certainly looks genuine, especially with all those stickers on the back pointing to this being a test device, and given that the poster has since deleted their entire Reddit account.

We probably wont know for sure how accurate this is until sometime in
October, as thats when the Pixel 8 line will likely launch. But given Googles track record for leaks, we imagine plenty more images and rumors about this best phone contender will emerge ahead of that.
