Google Pixel 8 Pro leaks in hands-on photos

Photos: Reddit via Droidlife

Google's next flagship phone, the Pixel 8 Pro, has been spotted in the wild, revealing its new design and features. The leaked photos show the phone's triple-camera setup, flat display, and prototype stickers. The photos were posted to Reddit by a user who claimed to have received the phone from Google's device team for testing. The original post was quickly deleted, but not before droidlife managed to save the images and share them online.

The Pixel 8 Pro looks similar to its predecessors but with some noticeable differences. The most obvious one is the new camera module, which now houses all three lenses in a single glass oval. The camera system is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 64-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 48-megapixel 5x telephoto sensor. There is also a new sensor under the flash that can measure the user's body temperature, according to previous leaks.

Nothing is revamping its unique Glyph interface for the upcoming Phone 2 smartphone. The phone is set to debut on July 11. YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) has shared an early hands-on video with the new smartphone that showcases the light interface embedded in the back of the phone, and the enhancements Nothing has made to it since last year’s Phone 1.

The Glyph interface has a similar pattern. But it now features more zones of LED lighting, which should enable it to offer more refined control of the phone’s lighting effects. The Phone 2 has almost triple the number of zones, with 33 zones compared to 12 on the Phone 1.

If you have an iPhone 14 or a MacBook with an M2 chip, you can now fix it yourself with Apple's help. The company has expanded its Self-Service Repair program to cover these devices and more. You can order the parts, tools, and manuals you need from Apple's website and follow the steps to repair your device at home. According to Apple, you can also fix the TrueDepth camera and top speaker on iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models in the US, UK, and seven European countries. M1-based desktops like the iMac are also included.

You don't even need to call Apple to finish the job. Just put your device in Diagnostics mode and use the System Configuration tool to verify and authenticate your repairs with official parts. This tool also makes sure your biometrics (like Face ID and Touch ID) work properly with the Secure Enclave.
