Corporations don’t love leaks, and Google has been among the many most affected by leaks in recent times, to the purpose that it is began pre-announcing its upcoming smartphones and different gadgets simply to in some way keep forward of the leak curve. And but, it is nonetheless continuously shedding the struggle.
Right this moment, a few photos leaked on Reddit displaying a Pixel 8 Professional prototype. They’ve since been deleted, together with the account which posted them, and that is usually a fairly good indication that we’re not coping with fakes right here.
The Pixel 8 Professional is certainly a Pixel, judging by these photos, and undoubtedly of the Professional selection, with its three rear cameras. The design continues to be the enduring Pixel design with the digicam ‘visor’ – or ‘large digicam island going from one facet to the opposite’, whichever definition you want greatest.
That is clearly a prototype, as labeled, and it is “for check/analysis solely”. The “product revision” discipline reveals “husky”, a codename that’s identified to belong to the Pixel 8 Professional. This prototype has 12GB of Samsung-made LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS storage made by SK Hynix.
Since this isn’t meant to be bought, and because the Pixel 8 Professional continues to be in improvement, do not take each element about this system too significantly – the bizarre sample on the again glass is likely to be some type of leak prevention (extra like – leak identification, really) code, and the colour would not appear like one thing Google would do in 2023 with so little distinction between elements.
However, this needs to be a superb indication that the Pixel 8 Professional’s design will keep near that of its predecessor. Keep in mind, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Professional are solely supposedly launching in October, so there’s loads of time left to see them in additional thrilling leaks from now till then.
By the best way, in response to beforehand rumored data, that round blob beneath the LED flash array is an infrared thermometer.
