It’s almost time for Google Pixel 8, the successor to Pixel 7. Several leaks have led us to believe the Pixel 8 will launch around the end of October 2023. The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro renders have leaked online as the launch date approaches.
Mishaal Rahman noticed the SIM tray was missing in the renders published by OnLeaks. The previous renders published by OnLeaks, for example, showed the SIM card slots on the left side of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7. It might be eSIM only, at least in some regions. eSIM is mainly used on iPhones in the US market. We should take this information with a grain of salt, Rahman says because the renders could be off.
Za_Raczke also found the SIM tray on the left side of the device in another post.
