It looks like Google can’t stop its next hardware from appearing in the wild. Weeks after a prototype Pixel Watch was left in a restaurant (and before Google confirmed the device’s existence), it looks like someone tried to sell a Pixel 7 on eBay.
EBay’s list of what certainly looks like a prototype Pixel 7 appeared on the Pixel subreddit, but has since been removed. The images posted by the seller did not shed much light on the device. The front looks like the Pixel 6, the perforated camera and all. The camera bar on the back also has two lenses.
However, take a closer look at one of the images and you will see something that can raise your eyebrows. In the reflection of the back of the supposed Pixel 7, there is what looks like a Pixel 7 Pro: the device that the seller used to take the photos. This suggests that whoever the seller was, they had access to the two models in the upcoming Pixel line.

In the description, the seller stated that Pixel 7 was running Android 13, with applications that are under development. They said that the phone has 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM and that they were selling it as it is without “any warranty whatsoever”. The phone was reportedly shipped from McKinney, Texas.
Although Google announced the Pixel 7 and its Pro brother in I / O, it will be months before the devices, which will run on a second-generation Tensor chip, go on sale. Google will probably give you a more detailed look at a hardware event. But given the leaks so far, we may already know all the details when Google formally shows them.
