The Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro have leaked extensively in the last few months. These phones should officially debut in just over a month since Google typically announces new Pixels in early October. Leaked renders and hands-on images have already given us a good look at the Pixel 8's design. Now, Google itself has accidentally shown off the Pixel 8 Pro in a Pixel Fold-inspired Porcelain shade on the Google Store.

Spotted by @Android_setting and shared by Mishaal Rahmaan, Google appears to have accidentally used a Pixel 8 Pro's design asset on the Google Subscriptions & Services page. It might not be immediately noticeable that the phone in the image is the Pixel 8 Pro. But a closer look will reveal the new rounded camera bar, as seen in previously leaked renders. The picture's alt text also confirms that we are looking at the Pixel 8 Pro in Porcelain shade.

I really miss the two-tone design from the pixel 2.

The camera bar with the glass cutout just makes it look like a prototype.

It doesn't even look that good imo.

Going for the jordi look from Star Trek. Bad enough people already call it a "visor."

I think I'm going to wait until the Pixel 10 when they have thermal issues under control. It's their own fuckin chipset at this point basically so no excuses.

I need a brighter display in sunlight and a better front facing camera, and thermal management. Everything else is bullshit.

Is there thermal management with the 7? I've had a 6 pro since launch without any issues at all

7 Pro since launch, no issues whatsoever.
