Pixel 7 Pro leak shows off live images of Google’s next flagship Android phone
During its I/O 2022 event, Google unveiled some promo images of its next flagship phone series, but real-life images of the device have been scarce until recently. Thanks to one purportedly careless vendor, we now have our best look yet at the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s real-world images.
Here’s the story: two months ago, a Facebook user placed an order for a Google Pixel 6 Pro via Facebook Marketplace. Instead, the vendor allegedly shipped a prototype of what appears to be the Pixel 7 Pro by mistake. Does that sound plausible? Believe it at your peril.
The images have been shared by a Twitter user from Ghana. However, the story of how the prototype ended up in the hands of the user in question is quite questionable. Earlier last month, the same set of images appeared on SlashLeaks. That said, the images provide our best look yet at Google’s next contender for the best Android phones in real life.
Regardless of how the user got a hold of the prototype, it appears to be legitimate. As you can see in the photos below, there’s the typical Google prototype logo on the back. You can also see the rear panel in full, consistent with what Google teased last May.
The prototype’s software also gives away a few details, confirming that we’re indeed looking at a Pixel 7 Pro unit. It has the codename “Cubot Cheetah 2” and runs Android 13.
