And now the first set of Google Pixel 8 renders!
Following the Google Pixel 8 Pro, insider OnLeaks (via My Smartprice) has published renders of the Google Pixel 8. The device looks almost identical to the Pixel 7, but features more rounded corners and a smaller size.
The Pixel 8 will have a display diagonal of about 6.2 inches (versus 6.3 in the Pixel 7). The screen will remain flat and will have a notch in the upper center area. The phone will measure approximately 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm (12 mm including camera protrusion).
The antenna stripes on the frame suggest that the phone will come with a metal body.
It looks like Google is going to show off the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro at the spring Google I/O 2023 conference, just like last year, and the devices themselves will go on sale in the second half of 2023.

Exynos modems were found to have a vulnerability that affected the Pixel 6 and 7 and had already been fixed in a March update.
Google Project Zero reported eighteen 0-day vulnerabilities in Exynos modems made by Samsung Semiconductor. Four of the most serious ones allowed for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution. Attackers can remotely compromise the phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, only knowledge of the victim's phone number is required.
The 14 other vulnerabilities require either a malicious mobile network operator or an attacker with local access to the device.. Vulnerabilities affected:
• Samsung S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21, A13, A12 and A04 series devices;
• Vivo S16, S15, S6, X70, X60, and X30 series devices;
• Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series devices;
• Any wearable devices that use the Exynos W920 chipset;
• Any vehicles that use the Exynos Auto T5123 chipset.
Affected Pixel devices have already received a fix for CVE-2023-24033 in the March 2023 security update (The Pixel 6 series should receive an update on March 20).
Until said devices receive the patch, users are advised to disable Wi-Fi and VoLTE calls in their device settings to protect themselves from the vulnerabilities.
