There appears to be a familiar-looking camera array on the back, with the same design language as Pixel 7.

According to online reports, the smartphone will start shipping in June and will cost around $1,700 (Rs 1,38,000), making it the priciest Pixel to date.

It will also reportedly use the same Tensor G2 SoC that Google used in Pixel 7. The smartphone will be water resistant and will supposedly have 24 hours of battery life on normal usage and up to 72 hours with extreme battery saver turned on.
