Design and screen

The new Google Pixel 8 should display a design similar to that of its predecessors, with a few changes. Thus, the Google Pixel 8 should be smaller than the Pixel 7: 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm (against 155.6 x 73.2 x 8.7 mm for that of the previous generation), a size of 6.16 inches. The Pixel 8 would also have finer borders than those of its predecessor. The corners of the smartphone should remain rounded. The Pixel 8 should have a 120 Hz refreshment rate.

Pixel 8 will obviously be waterproofing with water and dust, thanks to the IP68 standard. On the back, we find the brand’s trademark: the horizontal bar that hosts photo sensors.

What performance ?

Unsurprisingly, Google Maiittes his chips for his new photophone. So we find the Tensor G3 which benefits from a Samsung 4 nm LPP engraving, Against 5 nm for the Tensor G2, which should contribute to better energy efficiency. The layout of cores 4+2+2 has been replaced by a new unusual configuration comprising 9 cores (four small cortex-a510 clocked at 2.15 GHz, four cortex-a715 at 2.45 GHz and a cortex-x3 at 3.0 GHz)). GPU side, this time we will find a chip Arm Mali-G715, with 10 hearts (against 7 previously on the G710).

For autonomy, the battery capacity would drop from 4270 mAh to 4,485 mAh on the Pixel 8, which represents an increase of 5%. In terms of charging power, Pixel 8 would offer a maximum power of 24W, a little more than the previous 20W.

The picture !

The Google Pixel are renowned for their excellent photography capacities, and the Pixel 8 should put the bar always higher. Thus, he could take care of a New type of HDR capture, said staggered. The Pixel 8 will use a 50 MP Samsung GN2 as a main camera. It will be accompanied by the same Sony IMX386 of 12 MP, but it will be slightly wider with a field of vision of 0.55x.

Also note, the arrival of a functionality: the famous photo unburur, which allows you to deflect a photo, could now apply to videos.In addition, Google would introduce a functionality entitled Audio Magic Eraser, capable of removing parasitic sounds from a video.

Price and availability

Google Pixel are generally presented in October. We can therefore wait for the Google Pixel 8 around October 2023.

As for the price of the next Google photophone, it is to date unknown. Although we can expect an increase in prices, with regard to the current economic situation, Google should however continue to follow the same tariff logic, and offer us smartphones more affordable than those of its rivals: Samsung and Apple. Remember: last year, when all brands tended to increase their prices on the basis of inflation, Google surprised its world by maintaining the pixel 7 and 7 pro at 650 and 900 euros, thus retaining a aggressive price. Thus, it is a safe bet that the Pixel 8 will be marketed almost at the same prices as their predecessors. A first leak gives us an idea: in the United States, the Pixel 8 would be negotiated at 650 dollars, an increase of $ 50. To see if this will affect the European Prize.

Pixel 8: release date, price, technical sheet, all

Pixel 8 will be presented on October 4, 2023. We invite you to go around what we know about the next generation of Google smartphones.

Posted on September 8, 2023 at 7:30 a.m

• The presentation of Pixel 8 is set for October 4, 2023
• Google should have two variants, Pixel 8 and Pixel Pro
• Part of their technical sheet and dollar price are no longer really a mystery

Each year, Google reveals around the month of October its “Iphone of the Android ecosystem”, namely Google Pixel. Ultra-Premium smartphones which are sold compared to Apple smartphones at competitive prices.

These smartphones are a concentrate of the know-how of the Hardware Division of Alphabet. There is a house processor, Google Tensor, perfectly optimized for the device; allowing to draw autonomy, the quality of the photos and videos to new horizons.

They also offer a pure Android operating system, without the slightest overlay. As well as Google applications with sometimes some features exclusive to these smartphones – which have been particularly since the release of Pixel 7, more and more popular.

This year, the following two models will be offered:

We invite you to go around what the Pixel 8 generation has in store for us.

Presentation: on what date the pixel 8 release ?

On this first point, things are clear: Google has already started to send invitations to the press. The “Made by Google” event presentation of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro is set for October 4, 2023 at 10 am on the East time zone in the United States, or 4:00 pm in Paris.

We will obviously follow the live event, and will publish in the wake of decrypts and comparatives to know everything about these smartphones, and especially if one of the new models is the one you are waiting for before changing your smartphone !

What is the price of Pixel 8 ?

Google Pixel smartphones are premium smartphones, but Google has always kept a certain restraint on the price of the price of. The Google Pixel 7 were sold from € 699 for the standard variant and € 899 for the Pixel 7 Pro variant.

However this year there is a safe bet for the price to increase by around a hundred euros. In question: the particularly high course of the dollar, but also the inflation of the price of components and assembly costs.

You have to take the info with tweezers just under a month from the presentation, but the following prices in euros circulate:

• Pixel 8 (128 GB): € 874
• Pixel 8 pro (256 GB): € 1,235

Google continues on this generation to offer its Tensor chip (G3, 4NM). The technical specificities of this chip would be modeled on a design of Samsung (Exynos 2300) which has never been officially launched by the South Korean firm.

If this is confirmed, this gives us in any case an overview of its capacities: this SOC would embark a 5-hearted processor, in a configuration 1+4+4, ie a cortex-x3 heart (3.05 GHz), four cores cortex -A715 (2.45 GHz) and four cores Cortex-A510 (2.15 GHz).

The GPU could have up to 10 hearts and take the necessary for the rendering of the Ray Tracing in video games. In addition, Google offers up to 8 GB of RAM on the Pixel 8 and 12 GB variant on the Pixel 8 Pro variant. A leak evokes in passing an astonishing novelty, at least on the pixel 8 pro.

The firm would have integrated an infrared temperature sensor; What to take in a few seconds your body temperature by simply affixing the smartphone on the face. The Pixel 8 Pro would have a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh while the basic model would be at 4,500 mAh. The two have quick and wireless recharge, in addition to the reverse recharge.

Software exclusives

According to the information available at this stage, there will be at least a software exclusivity, an “magic audio eraser” which would easily remove unwanted sounds from the videos taken with the smartphone.

What is the design of the Pixel 8 ?

On the design side, you should not expect a revolution. From a distance, as closely, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 will look like pixel 7, which themselves resemble the Pixel 6. But the devil is in detail, and it is still possible to find small differences.

The first change is quite fun, at least for us who follow the development of smartphones closely. As Apple on at least one of the iPhone 15, Google is expected to increase the rounding angle of the corners of at least one of the devices (probably the Pixel 8 Pro).

On the pro model, the three main photo sensors are now all grouped in the same “bubble” on the band on the back of the smartphone; Last year, the Pixel 7 PRO telephoto was physically separated from the other two sensors.

In addition, we notice, according to official renderings which were accidentally found on the web that a new sensor appears under the flash. A sensor that looks like a depth of field sensor (TOF), as on the latest iPhone.

Finally, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 PRO will a priori offer a screen covered with flat glass, in place of a curved screen as was the case for the Pixel 7. Beyond aesthetic questions, this change is undoubtedly a good point for sustainability: the rounding often introduces a weak point on this element which promotes broken ice.

What changes with the Pixel 8 on the photo and video part ?

The photo has always been at the heart of Pixel smartphones. Google has been able to show us that the sensor itself is only part of the equation. A smartphone that takes good photos must, for this, take care of the software part, and assist image reprocessing by AI as much as possible.

For a long time, the firm smartphones were thus satisfied with a single photo sensor at the back, without it really having an impact on the quality of the images that can be taken with its smartphones. However, for a few Google generations has ended up giving in to the multiplication of photo sensors.

In particular to give more choice to users, with a wide angle and a telephoto lens allowing to make zooms without losses. But Google went to the 7th Dan in the matter. And this year, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 PRO is lent to as important improvements on the hardware as software.

The main sensor of the pro model had to go to the excellent Samsung ISOCELL GN2 sensor of 50 MP. This sensor is capable of capturing 35% additional light, and allows 8K recording to 30 images per second, all with HDR.

In addition to that, the wide angle sensor of the Pixel 8 Pro should go from 12 Mp to a Sony IMX787 sensor of 64 MP. The 5x telephoto lens should remain the same. And we told you above, everything seems to indicate that a new TOF sensor arrives in these smartphones.

This sensor could accelerate the development whatever the light conditions – in addition to making the bokeh effect (the blur behind a subject) more beautiful and precise. Let us add that this sensor allows on iPhone to scanner applications quite precisely objects and buildings.

We hope, if the TOF sensor is confirmed, that this capacity will be available on the new smartphones of the firm. By the way, Google should review the native photo taking app, to offer better ergonomics, and faster access to more advanced features.

Pixel 8: Launch on October 4, 2023 for high -end smartphones, it’s official

That’s it, we finally know when Google will officially announce its new Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. The launch conference will be held in just over a month, just a few weeks after the release of the iPhone 15.

Just after sharing a first official image of the Pixel 8 Pro, Google has finally just announced the date of presentation of its two new high -end smartphones. Pixel 8 and 8 pro will be Unveiled on October 4, During a conference which should also mention other devices.

Indeed, it is notably expected that Google will launch a new Pixel Watch 2, which will succeed its first connected watch directly launched the previous year with the Pixel 7. The latter will not only benefit from a more powerful processor, but also an update of its design and the software part.

The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will fill up on new products

This year, if we believe all the leaks to which we have been entitled in recent months, Google will greatly improve its high -end smartphones. Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will not only use New more powerful tensor g3 chips, but also New photo screens and sensors.

We also expect larger batteries with faster recharging, which should make it possible to significantly improve the autonomy of the two smartphones. However, these are not the key new features that devices reserve us.

Indeed, we know that the Pixel 8 Pro will be equipped with a brand new temperature sensor, which could act in the same way as a thermometer, practical if you have a fever. In addition, Google would have decided to bring a significant improvement to its software monitoring policy from Pixel 8.

A report recently revealed that Google would intend to bring 5 Android updates to its smartphones, which would be much more than Samsung, which only offers 4 on high -end devices. Google would align itself with Fairphone, The only company to promise 5 years of major updates on its new Fairphone 5, which has just been revealed. It only remains to know at what price will these new pixel 8 and 8 pro be offered. See you on October 4 to find out everything about them.
