While Google, in its ad, did not mention which new Pixel device it will launch, it used ‘w8’ instead of weight in its X post, indicating that it will indeed be the Pixel 8 base and Pro models making debut at Made By Google 2023.
“Big fall launches are stressful, but Pixel helps its friends stay cool as a cucumber. The w8 is almost over. Rest up for #MadeByGoogle on October 4th and sign up for the updates,” it said on X.
