Leaked Google Pixel 7 Reportedly Listed on eBay, Sold on Facebook Marketplace

Sunday June 5, 2022. 04:09 AM , from Slashdot
Earlier this week an alleged prototype of Google's upcoming Pixel 7 smartphone was reportedly listed for sale on eBay, the Verge reported. ('The distinctive camera bar is back, and this year it's an aluminum bar with cutouts for the cameras...' they wrote, adding 'We've collected images from the eBay listing into the gallery below, if you want to scrutinize them for yourself.')

But now a Reddit user is claiming they actually bought Google's as-yet-unreleased Pixel 7 Pro smartphone on Facebook Marketplace — and then used it for three weeks without realizing it. (Because the seller had listed it as a Pixel 6 Pro without a box.)

From the Verge's new report today:
Google pre-announced the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro at its I/O keynote last month, revealing what the devices will look like and... not much else. They'll very likely make their formal debut in October with Android 13. These alleged prototypes haven't shed much more light on what we can expect from the phones, either — just confirmation that it's using a different modem than the Pixel 6 series and that it appears to come in a variant with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.

There probably won't be much more we can learn from it, either. The purchaser of the alleged prototype said that the phone had been functioning fine until a few days ago when it seems to have been remotely wiped.
