Leaked renders revealed that Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 Pro flagship phone may introduce redesigned camera bar and a flat display. The camera bar matches with the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro, while all the camera sensors are now placed in a single pill-shaped bar.
Similar to the Pixel 7 Pro, Google’s next flagship phone will have an ultrawide, a wide, and a telephoto sensor, as shown in the leaked renders. However, there’s a new sensor placed beside the LED flash, which remains a mystery at the moment.
Coming to the screen, the Pixel 8 Pro seems to have a flat panel, ditching the legacy of slightly curved sides maintained until the Pixel 7 Pro. Moreover, the display size may be reduced to 6.52 inches along with little thickness reduction.
Google also follows Samsung’s footsteps by taking design inspiration from the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra for the new Pixel 8 Pro. The Korean tech giant has continued the same rear design as the predecessor, but refinements are noticeable, which became an inspiration for Google.
Not that all, Google may have also liked that Galaxy S23 Ultra display with reduced curve edges, making the Pixel 8 Pro flatter, at least in early renders. Flatter smartphone screen benefits in multiple ways such as enhanced durability, better in-hand feel, and mistouch prevention.
Reputed brands like Samsung, Apple, and Google believe that radical design changes are not necessary to happen in the smartphone market every year. On the other hand, Chinese brands are introducing new and new design languages instead of focussing on usability improvements.

Samsung formed a team for a billions-of-dollars HBM supply deal with Nvidia. The company is putting efforts into winning the contract from the global artificial intelligence semiconductor giant to beat the HBM market leader SK Hynix.
According to KEDGlobal, Samsung made a task force to finalize its HBM deal with Nvidia. The team comprises about 100 excellent engineers, who have been working to improve manufacturing yields and quality with the first aim to pass Nvidia’s tests.
“Samsung aims to log a high market share by quickly increasing supply to Nvidia,” said one of the sources. “It is expected to speed up the supply from the third quarter.”
Previously, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asked Samsung Elec to increase the yields and quality of 8-layer and 12-layer HBM3E chips for supply. It’s worth noting that HBM3E is the world’s best-performing DRAM chip for AI applications.
36Gb 12-layer HBM
The South Korean tech giant has been focussing on the 36Gb 12-layer HBM3E model. Samsung finished the development of HBM3E in February 2024 and aiming to pass the quality test conducted by Nvidia this month.
To meet Nvidia’s demand, the company has secured production lines already to increase output. The 12-layer HBM3E improves AI learning speed by 34% on average compared to the 8-layer product.
