New Google Pixel series smartphone details have surfaced.
The Pixel smartphones in question could be Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
We have the purported codenames of two upcoming Pixel smartphones as well as the next Android version.
Google’s Pixel 7 series was launched in October. Within a month of the launch, the next-generation of the Pixel has already leaked. According to a report, the next-gen Google Pixel smartphones have been found in publicly-available source codes. Both devices have been codenamed after breeds of dogs, with the Pixel seemingly codenamed “Shiba,” and the Pixel 7 Pro is called the “Husky.”
The codes were found by WinFuture writer Roland Quandt, who found the nicknames within and that they run on Android 14. The report also shows that the Mountain View-based giant has also given the next Pixels a dessert-inspired nickname, “Upside Down Cake.” Both the “Husky” and “Shiba” Pixel devices have also been found to run on a chip codenamed “Zuma,” which is said to be the successor to Google’s Tensor G2 chip.
Pixel 8 (Pro)? Google has two new devices in the works codenamed "Husky" and "Shiba". Both have a new SoC codenamed "Zuma", plenty of RAM and proper high res screens. https://t.co/D90qXLqqNx #Pixel8 #Pixel8Pro

In terms of specifications, the report shows “Shiba” with a 2268 x 1080p resolution display, which is close to the Google Pixel 7’s 2400 x 1080p display, but the ‘Shiba’ smartphone is said to have 12GB of RAM, higher than the Pixel 7’s 8GB RAM. The “Husky” also seems to have 12GB of RAM, which is the same as the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s RAM. The display resolution, however, is slightly lower than the Pixel 7 Pro at 2822 x 1344p resolution. The Pixle 7 Pro has a resolution of 3120 x 1440p.
The “Zuma” chip also seems to include the Samsung G5300 5G modem that the current Google Tensor G2 also uses. Now, the listing doesn’t necessarily mean that we are seeing the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro for the first time. The listing could also be for a possible Google Pixel 7A and Pixel 7A XL/ Pro.
Google launched the Pixel 7 series including the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in India and globally on October 6 this year. Both the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will come with Google’s Tensor G2 chipset. The smartphones were the first time Google launched its flagship Pixel series since the Pixel 3 series in 2018.
