The Google Pixel design has evolved significantly over time, marked by distinct phases. Initially, the Pixel features lacked a noticeable camera bump, transitioning into designs likened to visors, particularly noted from the Pixel 6 onwards. The design introduced a more pronounced bump, establishing what is now recognized as a unique characteristic termed the 'bean.' This identifiable feature remains consistent across variations, such as visors or bumps. Recent iterations like the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have notably elongated this 'bean' design. The discussion underscores the notion that regardless of the design variation—be it a visor or bump—the 'bean' remains the defining element of the Pixel aesthetic.
