Google leaks its own Pixel 8 Pro because that's what Google does

Sometimes it seems like it has to be on purpose.

Google, a company known for repeatedly leaking details about its yet-unreleased phones, has done it again. On Wednesday, the company posted an image of the upcoming Google Pixel 8 Pro on one of its Google Store pages, giving us a pretty clear look at the phone's rear side.

The image, noticed by Android Setting and Mishaal Rahman, has since been removed from Google's site, but it was even published with an associated alt text saying "a person takes a call on a Pixel 8 Pro phone in Porcelain" with "Porcelain" likely being the phone's color (the company's Pixel Fold is also available in Porcelain).

The image matches previous renders of the phone, which is rumored to come with an updated, brighter display, new chip, up to 12GB of RAM, and powerful new cameras, which you can barely make out in the image above.

Google is likely to officially launch the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro sometime in the fall. Let's hope the company will still have a few surprises to share when the date arrives.
