## **All About the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro Leaks and Rumors**

While these videos don’t provide significant new insights compared to the multitude of leaks leading up to the event, they do reveal that both phones come neatly packaged with a USB-C cable, a manual, and a Quick Switch adapter for transferring data from your old device to the Google Pixel 8.

Additionally, viewers get a good look at various color options for the new devices. The Google Pixel 8 unboxing video showcases a shiny gray color with a silver camera bar, while the Pixel 8 Pro video highlights a matte black backing with a sleek black camera bar, aligning with previously leaked color choices.

PBKReviews also reveal the lock screen on both devices, indicating that they will likely feature the same in-display fingerprint sensor as their predecessors. Given [Google](https://www.google.com/)‘s history of leaks, an unboxing video ahead of the Pixel 8 launch isn’t particularly surprising, as there have already been numerous Pixel 8 leaks, some of which may have originated from Google itself.

According to rumors, the Google [Pixel 8 Pro](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Pixel+8+Pro), with its 6.7-inch display, is expected to feature an upgraded camera system, including a 50MP wide lens, a 48MP ultrawide lens with Macro Focus, and a 48MP camera with a 5x telephoto lens, as well as a body temperature sensor. The 6.17-inch Google Pixel 8 may feature a dual-camera setup with a 50MP wide lens and a 12MP ultrawide lens with Macro Focus. Both phones are likely to incorporate AI-enhanced features.

In addition to the Pixel 8 lineup, Google is also set to unveil the Pixel Watch 2 at its Made by Google event, scheduled for October 4th at 10 AM ET. On another note, Google plans to launch the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2 on October 4th. These two smartphones will represent the company’s latest premium offerings and will be powered by the third-gen Tensor chipset.

However, leaked benchmarks suggest that the Tensor G3 may not deliver the performance that matches the competition. The leaked image indicates a single-core score of 1,760 and a multi-core score of 4,442 on Geekbench 6.2 for the Google Pixel 8 Pro. While not terrible, these scores fall behind other flagship chipsets like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Nevertheless, the Google Pixel 8 Pro offers around a 20% CPU performance improvement over the Pixel 7 Pro, which might be more crucial for its fans.
