As we are inching closer to Google's annual event, more leaks about the next-gen Pixel models have started coming in. Most recently, case renders allegedly belonging to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have surfaced online. With cutouts for cameras and microphones, they suggest a similar design language to that of their predecessor, the Pixel 7 series. The Google Pixel 8 is tipped to feature a raised camera bar with curved edges.

A report by Techgoing has posted alleged renders of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro cases. They are seen with cut-outs for the power button and volume rockers on the spines at the right edge and the bottom for the speaker and USB Type-C port. There is a cut-out at the rear to show off the camera unit.
