We already know pretty much everything there is on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, and now, all those leaks and rumors have been confirmed as Google has officially unveiled the duo.
The new Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are powered by the new Tensor G3 chipset based on Samsung’s 4nm process. It’s a powerful 9-core processor that consists of one Core-X3 prime core, four Cortex-A715, and four Cortex-A510.
For the Pro model, you’re getting 12GB of RAM, while the vanilla tops out at 8GB.

Being the fancier model, the Pixel 8 Pro also boasts a bigger 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO screen with 120Hz refresh rate, high 2,400 nits peak brightness, and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. It also has a larger 5,050mAh battery with faster 30W wired charging and 23W wireless charging.

Meanwhile, the vanilla Pixel 8 has a smaller 6.2-inch FHD+ screen and 4,575mAh battery, but that means it’s thinner and lighter, perfect for those who want a compact device. Albeit the charging is slightly slower at 27W.
For the cameras, the Pro has a 50-megapixel octa-PD main camera with OIS, joined by a sharp 48-megapixel quad-PD ultra-wide, and a new 48-megapixel quad-PD 5x zoom telephoto.

The Pro also has a skin temperature sensor next to the cameras, which the vanilla lacks.
Speaking of the Pixel 8, it has a 50-megapixel octa-PD main camera that can do 8x Super-Res digital zoom, joined by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide/macro lens and a 10.5-megapixel selfie camera.
Being a Pixel phone, the series will have special photography features like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, Best Take, and Macro Focus. There’s also a Pro Controls feature, but it is exclusive to the Pro.
Both phones will come with a free VPN by Google One and, since it’s from the Android makers themselves, will receive 7 years of OS upgrades and security patches — that’s the longest support on any smartphone.
The Google Pixel 8 has a starting price of USD699 (~Php39,600) while the Pixel 8 Pro costs USD999 (~Php56,600). The former will come with a free Pixel Buds Pro while the latter will ship with a free Pixel Watch 2 in Europe and the US. Those who will get them in India will only get a 50% discount on the said accessories.
