Pixel 8 and 8 Pro Cases Show Up in Leaked Renders with Similar Design to Pixel 7
As the release of the Google Pixel 8 draws near, leaks and rumors about its design have started to surface. Recently, MySmartPrice released renders of protective cases for the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, giving us a sneak peek at what we can expect from Google’s latest flagship phones.
Starting with the Pixel 8 case, it appears that Google is sticking with its distinctive camera bar design, which was first introduced with the Pixel 4 in 2019. The camera bar houses the phone’s rear cameras and flash, and has become a signature feature of Google’s Pixel line. While the design of the Pixel 8 case is similar to the current Pixel 7, there are some noticeable differences.
One change is the position of the power button, which has been moved to the right side of the phone, above the volume buttons. The fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone has also been slightly redesigned, with a more oval shape compared to the circular shape on the Pixel 7.
The MySmartPrice renders also give us a glimpse of the Pixel 8 Pro, which appears to have a larger camera module than the standard Pixel 8. However, it’s unclear if the Pro model will have additional camera sensors compared to the Pixel 8.
While these renders are not official and should be taken with a grain of salt, they do provide some insight into what we can expect from the upcoming Pixel 8 phones. It’s clear that Google is not straying too far from the design language of its previous Pixel phones, but is making some subtle changes to improve the user experience.
In terms of specs, rumors suggest that the Pixel 8 will have a 6.2-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 888 processor, and 8GB of RAM. The Pixel 8 Pro is expected to have a larger 6.7-inch OLED display, and could feature a more powerful Google Tensor G3 SoC, rumored to be based on Samsung Exynos 2300.
As always, we’ll have to wait for the official announcement from Google to confirm these details. Until then, we can only speculate about what the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will have in store for us.
