Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones, along with the Pixel Watch 2, are set to be officially unveiled on October 4. The hardware specifications of the Pixel 8 phones have already been leaked, and now leaked information reveals the first-party cases that will be sold by Google. The leak confirms the existence of a Coral variant for the Pixel 8 series, which has been seen before with the Pixel 7a. Additionally, marketing materials from Google show the color-matched cases for each model, mentioning that they are made with recycled materials.
The leak also provides insight into the dimensions and weights of the silicone cases. The leak suggests that Google may have a surprise in store with the Coral colorway, which was first introduced earlier this year with the Pixel 7a. It is unclear if the Coral version will be released on launch day or as an exclusive/limited edition version later. Other first-party cases for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro include Rose, Mint, Charcoal, and Hazel. The Pixel 8 Pro will have Porcelain and Bay Blue as additional color options.
In addition to the case leak, there is exciting news about Google’s software plans for the Pixel 8 series. The manufacturer is reportedly offering up to seven years of updates for the new flagship phones, which is unprecedented in the mobile industry. This leak also confirms certain hardware attributes of the Pixel 8 series, such as increased storage capacities and a higher peak refresh rate on the 8 Pro. Leaks have provided extensive information about the Pixel 8 series, as well as the Pixel Watch 2, which may be offered for free with pre-orders of the Pixel 8 Pro.
