google: Google Pixel 7 early prototype appeared on eBay ahead of the official launch – Times of India

Google showcased the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at its Google I/O event earlier this month. Now, an early prototype of Pixel 7 has surfaced on the e-commerce platform eBay and is up for sale.
The listing was spotted by XDA Developers and as per the eBay listing, the seller ‘meetveeru’ is claiming this phone to be an early prototype of the Google Pixel 7.
The seller has claimed to The Verge that he purchased this Pixel 7 Prototype from a wholesaler without any identity information. The seller also claimed that he realised later that the prototype is a Pixel 7 smartphone after researching and seeing the images of the phone.
The listing has been pulled down by the seller now. However, the prototype was listed at a starting bid of $450.
Also, the listing carries images of the phone from both front and back and also reveals the specifications of the Pixel 7.
For starters, the eBay listing images match the design of the Pixel 7’s official images that were revealed by the company at the Google I/O event.
The image carries a meta rim at the top half of the phone featuring the dual oval-shaped camera design. Also, the overall shape of the phone appears to be similar to what Google showcased at the event.
