You may recall that we told you a few days ago that a prototype of Google Pixel 7 had appeared on eBay. he did not respect the usual confidentiality agreements associated with these facilities and wanted to raise several hundred dollars. So far we have known about lost prototypes, but the launch of such a device was a surprising news.

The sale was short-lived, yes. We don’t know if this was canceled by his manager for fears of a public impact on the sale of the Google Pixel 7 prototype, or if it was eBay, at his own discretion or at the request of Google, which decided he said the sale could not take place. We all stayed with the feeling that we would never hear about this device again, and its owner would in any case reach for much more private channels if he persevered in his intention to sell the prototype. Common sense (or rather attributing it to others) has played with us again.

And as far as we can read in SlashDot, the seller would not give up the huge opportunities offered by online sales platforms among individuals. So if the eBay option was no longer feasible, what was the next step? If we believe the testimony of Reddit, The owner of the prototype Google Pixel 7 sold through the Facebook Marketplace. Now, as we dive a little deeper, the story becomes even more interesting.

And it is so that although it was primarily claimed that both devices (the one from eBay and the one from the Facebook Marketplace) are the same, they are the ones who point out that they are not, which could actually be two different terminals, which indicates an even greater leak. According to these theories, the one on eBay for sale was Google Pixel 7, while the one sold via Facebook would be Pixel 7 Pro. And if the prototype for sale is already surprising, the two are already the most disturbing.

Don’t you still think so? Don’t worry, because there is one more intervention left. And the point is, according to the expert who analyzed the photos uploaded to Reddit by the alleged buyer, these photos are made … can you imagine? Yes, indeed, with another prototype of Google Pixel 7. So are these one, two or three prototypes that have fallen into the hands of dealers?

The theory that is more viable if it is true that the photographs are made with a different prototype is that the same person has both terminals, Pixel 7 and 7 Proand put the first one on sale on eBay and the second on Facebook Marketplace. But it is also possible, of course, that there are several devices and several people trying to sell them. In any case, this is most surprising.
