Leaks of the Google Pixel 8 series continue to paint a picture of the upcoming flagships, and the latest appears to confirm what we can expect from the design.
The latest leak comes from Slashleaks, which showcases alleged designs of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro protective cases. The cases appear to be transparent silicone or TPU cases housed on both the Google Pixel 8 models.

The cases match with the earlier renders and design aesthetics of the Google Pixel 8 and the Pro variants, which were revealed last month. These new protective cases further establish that Google is opting for slightly more rounded corners on both models compared to the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7 devices.

Renderings of the phones inside the cases show off the new camera housing for the Pixel 8 Pro that includes a triple camera setup enclosed in a single pill-shaped design, which further comes in the metal frame as the previous model. The Pixel 8 case renders also corroborate the Pixel 8 design leak from the past, although it doesn’t look drastically different from the Pixel 7.
Aside from these case renders, the other rumored specifications of the upcoming Pixel 8 series include the next-gen Google Tensor G3 chipset powering both phones. Google may also ditch the curved display for the Pixel 8 Pro this year, which has been a design aspect exclusive to the Pro Pixel phones. A recent rumor also indicates Google is opting for a smaller form factor with a smaller display on the standard Pixel 8 model.
With the slow increase of Pixel 8 leaks, we’re expecting the devices to make a brief appearance at Google I/O 2023 next to the new Pixel 7a and the company’s first foldable device, the Google Pixel Fold.
