1. Release Date: Mark Your Calendar
Make sure to mark October 4, 2023, on your calendars because thats when Google is unveiling the anticipated Pixel 8 and its larger sibling, the Pixel 8 Pro. This isn’t speculation either; Google has sent out invitations for its Made by Google” event for that specific day. So get ready!
2. Pixel’s Price Increase: Is It Worth the Extra Money?
Prepare yourself for a wince-inducing price increase with the Pixel 8. According to reliable leaker Yogesh Brar, there might be a $50 bump in price, bringing it up to $649 for the model. As for the price of the Pixel 8 Pro, It remains a mystery for now, so stay tuned.
3. Sleek and Stylish: Pixel 8 Design
Enough with all the leaked information, Google! First, they “accidentally” give us a glimpse of the Pixel 8 photo. Now they’re showing off a full 360-degree demo? They really know how to be subtle, don’t they?
The new design is sleeker, with corners and exciting color options like jade and licorice. Here’s something interesting: rumor has it that the Pixel 8 Pro might even have a built-in thermometer. Yes, you heard it right!
4. Not Another Display: Upgrades in Screen Technology
But wait, there’s more to the display than meets the eye. According to insiders at Android Authority, the Pixel 8 series is getting some upgrades. You can expect the Pixel 8 series screen display to be more responsive and sharper than ever before.
We’re talking about brightness levels of up to 1,600 nits and refresh rates that adapt to your activities. Whether you’re scrolling smoothly or indulging in gaming sessions, this phone has got you covered.
5. Feeling Hot or Cold: The New Temperature Sensor
Believe it or not, your phone might soon be able to tell if you have a fever. Welcome to the year 2023! Leaks suggest that the Pixel 8 Pro will come equipped with a temperature sensor located below the camera flash.
It may sound like a gimmick at first glance, but considering we’re in the midst of the COVID era, it might actually prove useful.
6. Under the Hood: Tensor G3 Chipset
Now let's talk about what powers this device under its hood: the Tensor G3 chip. Admittedly, Tensor G2 was somewhat underwhelming when compared to Apple's A16 and A17 chips.
Wait a minute! Get ready to be amazed by Tensor G3. It may not overthrow the iPhone. Its set to enhance Google's AI capabilities further. Brace yourself for some features on your phone, even if its not the star player among processors in high school.
7. Snap, Crackle and Pixel: Camera Upgrades
Cameras have always been a suit for Pixels. The Pixel 8 series aims to raise the bar. We’re talking about sensors for low-light photography, an upgraded ultra-wide camera, and faster autofocus. Unfortunately, there’s no news about a telephoto lens this time, but hey, you can’t have it all, right?
Key Takeaways
Listen up! The Pixel 8 won’t outshine the iPhone 15 in terms of power. That's not Google’s goal, anyway. Instead, the Pixel 8 series focuses on its strengths: AI capabilities, camera technology, and some exciting new features
Whether these are enough to lure you away from Apple's ecosystem is up to you. Are you ready to take the plunge? Mark your calendar. Keep an eye out for October 4.
Until then, stay curious and connected!
