We’ve already seen the Pixel 8 Pro on a couple of occasions, but as we start counting down the days to Google’s October 4 event, the leaks keep coming, now with a new, pretty high-res look at the upcoming flagship.
Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 Pro has already shown up in a handful of leaks. One was a tutorial video that showed up with the phone in a white color that detailed its temperature sensor, the feature we still don’t fully understand. Then, a leaked video revealed more new features, as well as the striking new blue color Google is launching. Finally, another render showed up on the Google Store for a few hours, revealing the “Porcelain” color.
Courtesy of Evan Blass, a new render of the Pixel 8 Pro in blue has surfaced, giving us another really good look at the device.
As in past leaks, we can see the revised camera bar that has a singular cutout for the three cameras, as well as a flash and the temperature sensor. The phone also has a slightly altered shape, which looks a little more rounded in the corners.

I hope the space between the back glass and metal frame isn't as pronounced as it looks like that 360 render and is much more seamless otherwise it's not going to feel too great if you use it caseless.
And, of course, we get another look at the truly gorgeous blue color that Google is set to ship the Pixel 8 Pro in alongside black and off-white colors that we reported will match the Pixel Fold.
Beyond the color and hardware, Blass also uploaded a few screenshots that seem to show the default marketing setup for the Pixel 8 Pro’s homescreen, which shows wallpapers we’ve already seen.
Our Dylan Roussel also tweeted a handful of screenshots from the Pixel Phone Simulator (not accessible through the normal page) that shows a 3D model of the Pixel 8 Pro from all angles, including the SIM card tray we previously reported as sticking around. The page also confirms the blue color is called “Sky,” not “Sky Blue” as a Pixel Buds Pro leak suggested.
The Pixel 8 series is set to launch on October 4, with Google also expected to launch Pixel Watch 2 at the same event.
