Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro Minerals Wallpaper Leaked

Google has been following a pattern of launching a different set of colour-matching wallpapers for each colour variant of Pixel devices since the launch of the Pixel 6 series in 2021. As such, the Pixel 6 series had a Bloom theme featuring floral wallpapers to match Material You, the Pixel 7 series had a Feathers theme, and now the Pixel 8 series is expected to feature a Mineral theme.

All these wallpapers you see in the gallery above have been created by the famous filmmaker and photographer Andrew Zuckerman. He is known for working with Apple and Google. As mentioned before, Google is known for matching the wallpaper set with the colour variant of its Pixel smartphones. These wallpapers give an idea of the colour options mentioned in the article earlier. Readers can download and use the wallpapers from the gallery above or get the high-resolution PNG files from the Google Drive shared by Android Authority in its report.

Google Pixel 8 Series Specifications

The Google Pixel 8 series will be the first to feature the Tensor G3 processor, with a prime Cortex X3 core, four Cortex-A715 cores, and four Cortex-A510. The processor will be backed by UFS 4.0 storage, an upgraded TPU codenamed Rio running at 1.1GHz, and more. MySmartPrice revealed the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro case images and the exclusive design renders of the Pixel 8. We know these smartphones will feature a 6.2-inch OLED display and a dual-camera setup on the back.

The Pixel 8 series is speculated to feature a 50MP Samsung GN2 camera sensor, which can take in 35% more light than the GN1 sensor on Pixel 7 series. The Pixel 8 Pro will reportedly feature a 48MP Samsung GN5 sensor with a telephoto lens (like Pixel 7 Pro) and a 64MP Sony IMX787 ultra-wide sensor. On the other hand, the vanilla Pixel 8 will be missing the telephoto lens and feature the 12MP Sony IMX386 ultra-wide sensor from Pixel 6 series. For selfies, both smartphones will feature an 11MP Samsung 3J1 front camera sensor, the same as Pixel 7 series.
