While Google has launched its new mid-range smartphone, the Google Pixel 7a, the manufacturer already seems to have its next premium models, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, in the starting blocks.

In particular, the horizontal aluminum bar on the back allows the reception of a module with three cameras.

A system much closer to providing technology currently used in non-contact thermometers.
Data that is personal
