An advertisement for the upcoming Pixel Buds Pro 2 has been leaked on Reddit by a user named Living_Series8400. The user stumbled upon the images while searching for a protective case for their current Pixel Buds on Amazon. The leaked images show a different design for the Pixel Buds Pro 2, with a larger capacitive touch plate that sticks out more than the current model.
While the leak doesn’t provide much information about the internal upgrades, it seems that Google might be making hardware improvements to the earbuds. The speaker grills on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are larger and match the color of the touch plate, suggesting a possible enhancement in audio output. This could mean that a bigger battery might be necessary for the new model to accommodate these upgrades.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 is expected to come in a pink color, possibly named “Raspberry.” Previous leaks have also suggested that the earbuds will be available in Mojito green, Porcelain white, and Haze, a dark gray color. The charging case for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 maintains the same egg-shaped design as the previous model and includes an attachment ring on the side.
One interesting feature of the protective case is a second cutout next to the USB-C port, which could indicate the presence of an external speaker for the Find My Device network. This feature would allow users to locate their earbuds by playing an alarm through the case. Similar design elements can be found in the charging case for the AirPods Pro 2.
As with any leak, it’s essential to take this information with a grain of salt, as details may change before the official release. Stay tuned for more updates on the Pixel Buds Pro 2, and check out TechRadar’s list of the best earbuds for 2024 for more options.
