The Pixel 8 Pro leaked on one of Google's websites just as Apple announced the iPhone 15 event - is it a coincidence or a marketing campaign?
Make no mistake, the handset in the image that Google shared on its Google Subscriptions & Services page is definitely a Pixel 8 Pro model. The alt text on the page says the image shows “a person takes a call on a Pixel 8 Pro phone in Porcelain.”Android fans who are into Pixel phones probably noticed the similarities between the handset in the image above and all the Pixel 8 leaks. Yes, the Pixel 8 Pro looks like the handset in the various renders that popped online in the past few months.
Interestingly, Google did not tease the Pixel 8 models at I/O 2023 earlier this year. That event was all about AI products that rival ChatGPT and a few other Pixel hardware announcements. A year earlier, Google showed off the Pixel 7 models during the same event. On that note, if this was an intentional stunt from Google to attract some attention, the Pixel 8 Pro is hardly going to be a worthy iPhone 15 Pro Max rival.
It’s not that the latter will deliver a massive upgrade over its predecessor. It’s that Apple’s iPhones generate way more buzz than even the most popular Android smartphones, let alone Pixels. Of note, Apple’s new iPhone 15 series will feature a much better processor than the Pixel 8 Pro’s new Tensor chip. The A17 Bionic won’t just be faster, it’ll be more efficient, too, being the only 3nm chip in the industry for at least a year.Source:

Our first glimpse (probably) of the Pixel Watch 2.Google did it again. For a hot second, the Pixel 8 Pro and what appears to be the Pixel Watch 2 popped up on a Google Store page. While it’s pretty clear this is the Pixel 8 Pro, it’s hard to definitively say this is the Pixel Watch 2 because of the angle. I’ve been holding up my Pixel Watch next to this picture for a good while and it does appear thinner and flatter than the current watch. It probably is! It’d make sense since we already got an FCC filing. And while this isn’t the best angle, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a few more leaks before Google makes everything official.
