Earlier today, the Pixel 8 Pro was spotted in leaked CAD-based renders. Now, the standard Pixel 8 has also appeared in leaked renders shared by reliable tipster Onleaks. The images give us a first look at the smartphone. The Pixel 8 series is expected to be showcased at Google’s upcoming I/O Developer conference in May. The smartphones will be released later in October this year as the successors to the last year’s Pixel 7 series. 

The renders reveal the next-generation Pixel 8 with a compact and slim form factor. It looks much smaller than its predecessor. The device has curved edges and the display features a center-aligned punch-hole cutout. The screen is also surrounded by thin bezels. The back panel retains the horizontal camera bridge with two sensors in a pill-shaped cutout and a LED flash located outside. The smartphone has an aluminum frame with power and volume rocker buttons located on the right side. The USB-C port is located at the bottom beside the speaker grille. 

Onleaks reveals that the Pixel 8 will be a compact device because it will feature a 5.8-inch display compared to 6.3-inch on the Pixel 7. Dimension-wise, the upcoming offering will measure 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9mm (12mm with the camera bump). This 5mm shorter and 2mm narrower than the current Pixel 7. 

As per rumors, the Pixel 8 will be powered by the search giant’s upcoming Tensor G3 chipset. We will know more details about the smartphone at I/O 2023 which kicks off on May 10th.
