Google Accidentally Leaked The Pixel 8 Pro, Revealing Three Colors, A Temperature Sensor, Upgraded Telephoto Lens And Other Copious Info

From the images, we also noticed that the company’s top-end offering features top and bottom-firing speakers, delivering an immersive audio experience for those who wish to listen without headphones or earphones.
