Pixel: The secret Google logos

Like other manufacturers, Google works with secret codes during development and preproduction. In the software, new devices have code names and physical hardware has been tried to camouflage. For example, the fake names that Huawei puts on the back of pre-series devices are well known. But Google also disguises itself more or less well and equips the smartphones with “secret” characters.

The last time we saw this was the Pixel 6, which appeared as a prototype in front of a camera. While the smartphone was quickly unmasked due to the design, you couldn’t do anything immediately with the logo shown on the back. It was one of the famous symbols that Google puts on its unfinished devices. That had been done more often in recent years, as one noted reddit user .

I think this may be the first hands on video leak of a Google Pixel 6 Pro .

FYI: The logo would indicate that this is likely an early production test unit, so that means there may be some differences between what you see here and the actual production device. # teampixel pic.twitter.com/4QSvdktqA7

But as we can see, this camouflage isn’t really worth much. Perhaps only in the area of ​​production, because not every employee immediately recognizes what kind of prototype they are looking at. But among us media at the latest, these secret symbols are no longer worth anything because we often already know the rest of the devices.

One of the mentioned Huawei leaks with code names “Link” and “Vogue” on the back, back then from the P30:
