Pixel 手機系列長年都有遭到提前開箱的案例,有傳言指出這是因為代工廠的員工缺乏職業素養,將產品偷偷帶出工廠販售,這也使得 Google 似乎計畫轉移生產線。
過去這 3 - 4 年來,Pixel 手機都是於越南進行代工組裝,但可能是內部管理不利,導致時常會有產品提早流入到市面的情況,像是近期就有外國媒體搶先開箱了 Pixel 8 手機,而這些手機來源很大一部份是生產線上的員工私自竊取而來。
而且這些員工的行徑似乎還越來越誇張,像是從 @thisistechtoday 在 X (原 Twttier)的貼文可以發現,拍攝 Pixel 8 Pro 手機與包裝盒的位置居然就是在組裝生產線上。
The Google Pixel 8 Pro was leaked again by what appears to be a factory worker.

In previous years entire official guides were leaked on the manufacturing and repair process, so it is possible it could be from that as well.

越南代工廠屢次的洩漏行為,無疑造成信任危機,加上鄰近的印度近年為了爭取更多投資,推行了大量補助計畫,都很可能成為了 Google 轉移訂單的因素。同時爆料者 @chunvn8888 表示倘若真的將 Pixel 手機生產遷出越南,台灣的仁寶集團將會因此受到巨大損失。
Bad news: because a huge waves of Pixel leaks from Vietnam over the past 3-4 years, especially this year, Google is considering switching the manufacturer line from Vietnam to India.
