Pixel 8
Screen and design
THE Pixel line, from Google, should bring a different design from previous models, featuring rounded edges and a thinner body. The most basic model should have a slightly smaller display than its predecessor, at 6.1 inches, instead of 6.3 inches. The Pro model should arrive with a panel with the same dimensions as its previous version, at 6.7 inches.
Cameras
According to information available to date, Google is betting on cameras as one of the main highlights of the generation. It is speculated that the devices may feature a more powerful version of the ISOCELL GN1 sensor, developed by Samsung company.
One of the main new features should be the use of a larger sensor, capable of capturing around 35% more light than the previous generation. The new phones should also feature ultrawide cameras with better performance and offer optical zoom technology of up to 5x, the same capacity presented by the iPhone 15 Pro, which was launched on the 12th of this month.
Performance
One of the main points of criticism of the previous generation of cell phones was the performance presented by the Tensor 2 chip, since it was well below its competitors in the premium category. The processor, developed by Google, according to the Android Authority portal, was two generations behind its competitors.
However, the expectation is that, with the arrival of Tensor 3, Google should get closer to its main competitors, but it should still be a generation behind other high-end devices. With this, the company should present performance equivalent to other processors launched last year.
One of the main new features of the new processor is the new TPU, which is essential for integrating Google's artificial intelligence features into smartphones. In addition, the basic model should have 8GB of RAM, while the Pro will be launched with 12GB of RAM.
Price and launch of the line
According to rumors, the Pixel 8 is expected to start at $1,649, while the Pixel 8 Pro is expected to cost $1,699, which represents an increase of around $1,000 over the models launched last year by the brand.
The launch of the two models is expected to take place on October 4th, in an event that will be broadcast by Google, which is also expected to launch its new smartwatch. Pre-sales are expected to be released early next month, while official sales will probably begin on October 11th.
