<p id="buOphO">Google will apparently give you a free Pixel Watch 2 if you preorder a Pixel 8 Pro, according to a promotional image posted by <a href="https://x.com/Za_Raczke/status/1706278725673726203?s=20">Kamila Wojciechowska</a>. Wojciechowska also posted other leaks, including one <a href="https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-pixel-watch-2-features-promo-video-revealed/">published by <em>91mobiles</em></a><em> </em>with a promotional video that confirms previously rumored details about the Watch 2.</p>
<p id="zOh3wo">The deal might soften the blow of a rumored price hike for the Pixel 8 Pro that puts the new phone at a $999 starting price. The original Pixel Watch <a href="https://store.google.com/product/google_pixel_watch?hl=en-US">starts at $349.99</a> for the non-cellular version, making the Pixel 8 Pro effectively a $650 phone with this deal, assuming the 8 Pro price rumor is accurate. Wojciechowska <a href="https://x.com/Za_Raczke/status/1705918207486202126?s=20">posted a screenshot</a> over the weekend suggesting that, at least for business customers, the Pixel 8 Pro might keep the...</p>

<p id="w94MDB">Continuing the storied tradition of Google’s Pixel devices being some of the most-leaked hardware ever, the as-yet-unannounced Pixel 8 Pro has popped up on a Google Store page. <a href="https://twitter.com/android_setting">@Android_Setting</a> on Twitter / X pointed out the image <a href="https://store.google.com/us/category/subscriptions?hl=en-US&pli=1">on a page</a> promoting Google’s subscriptions and services (<a href="https://support.google.com/pixelpass/answer/13968577">Pixel Pass</a> is not among them), showing a man taking a call on a Pixel 8 Pro in Porcelain. </p>
<p id="khEd8s">Sure, the device looks like the renders and images that have already leaked, including from a supposed internal Google video, but how can we be sure it’s <em>that</em> phone in <em>that </em>color? In a win for accessibility, the tipster notes that the image’s alt-text description removes all doubt, reading, “A person takes a call on a Pixel 8 Pro phone in Porcelain.”</p>

<p id="PjO03w">The expected launch of the Google Pixel Tablet is just days away, but its specs have already been leaked online, <a href="https://winfuture.de/news,136064.html">as spotted earlier by <em>WinFuture</em></a>. A <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230507013836/https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0C3TY8YW5/">now-removed listing</a> from Amazon’s Japanese website reveals that the 11-inch tablet will feature Google’s Tensor G2 chip with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.</p>
<p id="ijx24L">The listing also indicates that the device will come with an LCD display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, up to 12 hours of video streaming, and USI 2.0 stylus support. Other notable features include two eight-megapixel cameras on the front and back of the device, quad speakers, three microphones, a USB-C charging port, and support for Wi-Fi 6.</p>

<p id="NA1b7P">The <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23687731/pixel-hardware-rumors-7a-foldable-fold-tablet">rumors are true</a>: next week, Google will introduce its first foldable phone, <a href="https://store.google.com/intl/en/ideas/pixel-is-open/">the Pixel Fold</a>, during the Google I/O 2023 event. </p>
<p id="Gz6xej">Google hasn’t revealed any specs for the device, but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4eEH2nRU1U">a brief teaser video</a> shows off a full-size outer display on a phone that opens up similarly to Samsung’s <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23308459/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-4-review-screen-battery-camera-price">Galaxy Z Fold devices</a>. The camera bar on the back is similar to other Pixel devices but doesn’t stick out as prominently, reflecting what we’ve seen in leaked marketing materials and <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/21/23693598/pixel-fold-irl-video-leak">even a hands-on video</a>.</p>
<p id="ib9Hgk"><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/18/google-pixel-fold-release-date.html">CNBC reported in April</a> that the Pixel Fold would be a 5.8-inch phone that folds out into a 7.6-inch tablet. It’ll reportedly include a Google Tensor G2 processor, weigh 10 ounces, and have “the most durable hinge on a foldable,” along with a price...</p>
