The Google Pixel lineup is notorious for being the most leaked devices. The company has once again accidentally leaked its upcoming flagship. The Google Pixel 8 Pro has leaked on the Google Store before its official release.

It is the Porcelain colour of the upcoming flagship phone. The image’s alt text confirms it: “A person takes a call on a Pixel 8 Pro phone in Porcelain.

The Pixel 8 Pro design corresponds with the previous leaks as the image shows the three-camera sensor sitting together, aligned vertically in the camera module. There is also another tiny hole below the circular LED flash, which could be the body temperature sensor.
