Repeat after me:

It is not a leak if it is done on purpose.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The company has put online a 360-degree simulator that lets you turn the device over back to front and top to bottom, with helpful indicators pointing out where various sensors and ports are located.

The simulator shows the phone in three colors and confirms that the Pixel 8 Pro will be getting a new temperature sensor on the back beside the cameras.

The simulator was spotted by José Rubén and highlighted by Mishaal Rahman, who both posted about it on X. Google doesn’t appear to have published a link to the website — but all you have to do is plug the new phone’s name into the URL of Google’s other Pixel simulators, and the new phone appears.

The simulator doesn’t include specific specs, so there’s still more room for Pixel leaks over the coming month.

Google’s mockups show the Pixel 8 Pro retaining a SIM card slot.

It previously leaked a photo of the phone in porcelain and a demo video explaining its temperature sensor.
