Google’s problems with leaks are more than evident. All major tech companies suffer from them, of course, but at Google, they seem more severe; for example, just this week, the Pixel 8a was leaked even before the official presentation of the Pixel 8.
There are few surprises left regarding the Pixel 8 itself. We know that the Pixel 8 Pro will come with a new temperature sensor that will allow you to check for a fever by simply holding the phone close to your forehead. We also know details about Google’s new processor and the new repair mode it will have.
In fact, we even know the prices of the Pixel 8. In short, there are fewer and fewer reasons to attend the presentation on October 4th, and today we’ve just lost another one: the colors in which the new devices will be available.
This time, the leak comes from Mysmartprice, where they have access to official images of Google’s new phones. Although these are computer-generated images, they are part of the promotional material that will be used in the Google Store and other websites and will be distributed to the press during the presentation.
The big news is that thanks to these images, we can see the new colors in which both phones will be available. To start with, the Pixel 8 Pro will stand out with a new sky blue color, called “Sky Blue,” which will have a metallic blue camera band.
This color replaces the “lichen green” of the Pixel 7 Pro and is, therefore, the color designed to “grab attention,” as the other two are more common. On the one hand, snow white has changed and is now “Porcelain,” which implies that it will be somewhat ‘dirtier,’ which may or may not appeal to your taste. Finally, the only color that remains unchanged is obsidian black, which seems identical to that of the Pixel 7 Pro, at least in the images.
The basic Pixel 8 will also have an “eye-catching” color, in this case, “Peony Rose,” a very curious pink that replaces the lime green of the Pixel 7. The white color disappears from the range, as “Snow” is replaced by “Gray.” Finally, obsidian black remains exactly the same.
