The Pixel 8 series is expected to launch in the second half of this year according to an earlier report, which adds that the handsets could be powered by a new Tensor G3 chipset.

According to a previous leaked renders, the upcoming Pixel 8 smartphone is said to have rounded corners, as opposed to the angled edges on the Pixel 7.

The leaked images suggest that the base Pixel 8’s bottom edge will have a USB Type-C connector and a speaker grille, while the right side will have the volume and power buttons. The Pixel 8 will reportedly measure 150.5mm x 70.8mm x 8.9mm in size, with a depth of 12mm including the camera module.

Another leak suggested that the Pixel 8 Pro model will include a significant adjustment to the rear camera layout. Unlike earlier generations, the Pixel 8 Pro’s camera sensors appear grouped together in cited leaked images, and the handset also includes an additional sensor to the right of the three cameras, beneath the LED flash. This sensor’s functionality is yet to be disclosed.

The Pixel 8 Pro is also seen to have more rounded corners than its predecessor, as well as a hole punch cutout in the centre for the selfie camera. The power and volume keys, like the Pixel 7 Pro, are seen on the right edge of the phone, while the speaker grille and USB Type-C connector are seen at the bottom.
