[VERGE] Google leaked Google’s flagship Pixel 8 Pro, again

This is the best summary I could come up with:

@Android_Setting on Twitter / X pointed out the image on a page promoting Google’s subscriptions and services (Pixel Pass is not among them), showing a man taking a call on a Pixel 8 Pro in Porcelain.

Sure, the device looks like the renders and images that have already leaked, including from a supposed internal Google video, but how can we be sure it’s that phone in that color?

In a win for accessibility, the tipster notes that the image’s alt-text description removes all doubt, reading, “A person takes a call on a Pixel 8 Pro phone in Porcelain.”

Still, we’ve heard plenty about those already, covering the specs, screen and RAM, camera hardware, and some potential new software features like Video Unblur.

As for Google’s leaky history when it comes to hardware, my colleague Sean Hollister already broke it down while covering a Pixel 7A leak ahead of this year’s I/O event:

Now all we need is a video of Giannis Antetokounmpo using one and we’ll be ready for the Pixel 8 launch event.

Is leaking the new way to do PR?
- Yes. "Leaks" get people excited for upcoming product launches and, in a case like this, might keep people from upgrading their phone for a while and waiting to see how this one performs.
- I mean when you leak shit yourself its just revealing it...
