TL;DR
- A Twitter user has posted photos of a Google Pixel 7 Pro prototype.
- The story of how the user got the prototype is questionable at best.
- There is also a photo of the prototype in a Pixel 6 Pro case to show the differences.
The next round of Google’s flagship phones will probably land in October. However, we took a look at them early on from Google itself. Today, however, we have a different kind of look.
Thanks to @soulpee on Twitter we have what looks like a Google Pixel 7 Pro prototype. The phone has the usual prototype of the Google logo on the back where the normal “G” logo would be. Even the phone’s software strongly suggests that it is a Pixel 7 Pro prototype.
Check out the photos below:

You wonder: how could anyone come up with such a prototype? According to the leaker, his “friend” obtained it through Facebook Marketplace. This friend ordered a Pixel 6 Pro and got this instead.
Of course, that’s almost certainly a made-up story. Anyway, this appears to be a legit Google Pixel 7 Pro prototype, so how he got it is a bit irrelevant.
The first photo on the left shows the full back of the prototype. The middle photo shows the device’s information, with CUBOT, “cheetah” and “tiramisu” all being code words and references to the Pixel 7 Pro and Google’s development protocols.
Finally, on the right you have the prototype in a Google Pixel 6 Pro case. As you can see, the camera placement is very different, so your Pixel 6 cases probably won’t fit your Pixel 7.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that there will be many more such leaks in the coming months. Stay tuned.
