The arrival of the Google Pixel 8, including its Pro variant, is eagerly awaited by its loyal fans. Besides the confirmed improvements in specifications for a more powerful and efficient device, it is said that this smartphone will be more focused on enhancing its display.
Here are the Specifications of the Google Pixel 8
Continuing the legacy of the Pixel 7, which was launched in October last year, the Google Pixel 8 and its Pro variant are rumored to bring several enhancements, particularly in the display department, as reported by Android Authority.
The specifications of the Google Pixel 8 are as follows:
- Google Tensor G3 chipset
- 6.17″ FHD display for the Pixel 8, and 6.7″ FHD+ display for the Pixel 8 Pro, both OLED with a 120Hz refresh rate
- 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage
- Dual-camera setup with a 50MP wide lens and a 12MP ultrawide lens
- 10MP wide front-facing camera
- 5,000mAh battery
Apart from the aforementioned basic specifications, it is still unclear whether this smartphone will support fast charging above 20W, which would allow for faster charging compared to previous generations.
Furthermore, the Google Pixel 8 is said to prioritize improvements in its display. This includes making the screen flatter and abandoning the curved display design featured in the Google Pixel 7. This is great news for fans of flat displays.
Referred to as the ‘Corner Radius,’ this upcoming generation of Pixel smartphones will bring a doubling of the corner radius. While the Pixel 7 had a 47px radius, the next generation will feature a 102px radius, ensuring enhanced comfort and more structured color accuracy.
Expected Launch in the Third Quarter
Regarding the launch timeframe, the Google Pixel 8 and its Pro variant are expected to be unveiled in the same quarter as their predecessors, around the third quarter, specifically in September or October.
We believe that the pricing will not deviate significantly from the previous generation, as there are no massive differences in terms of the chipset, with the focus primarily being on the display enhancements.
