Get out your wallets, because the Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro are finally here after months of rumors. And yes, they're more expensive than before.
Google has finally announced its latest smartphones, the Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro. The announcement about the successors to the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro was made today at the Made by Google event in New York City.
Related The Pixel 8 has a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio . Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protects the display and offers a smoother, more colorful visual experience with up to 120Hz and HDR10+. It can reach a brightness of up to 1,400 nits and 2,000 nits peak brightness for an excellent viewing experience.
The Google Pixel 8 weighs only 6.6 ounces and measures 150.5mm by 70.9mm by 8.9mm. The larger model, the Pixel 8 Pro, weighs 7.5 ounces and measures 162.6mm by 76.5mm by 8.8mm. Both devices offer battery life of up to 24 hours between charges and up to 72 hours with the Extreme Battery Saver feature turned on — the same claim as last year. Thanks to fast charging technology, a 30-watt USB-C charger can recharge the phones to up to 50% in 30 minutes. The Pixel 8 comes with a 4,575 mAh battery, while the Pixel 8 Pro includes a 5,050 mAh battery.
The Pixel 8 Pro, on the other hand, has the most significant camera upgrades. Its rear camera consists of a 50MP main camera with 2x optical quality. It also has a 48MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and Super Res Zoom of up to 30x, along with a 48MP ultrawide camera. The Pixel 8 Pro also includes the same 10.5 MP Dual PD selfie camera, but unlike the Pixel 8, the Pixel 8 Pro’s selfie camera supports autofocus.
Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro: odds and ends It’s worth considering other features that are included on both smartphones. For instance, both phones have updated Google Assistant features, making conversations with the voice assistant more natural. There are also improved Gboard proofreading tools to check for spelling and grammar errors, as well as a new Magnifier app. And spam call filters sound more natural and can filter even more calls.
