Google's flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, are ready to take the spotlight.
Google Pixel 8 Pro after the buzz – it was interesting..
You can pre-order the phones today or pick one up in stores starting October 12. You’ll get seven years of Android updates, a first for Google, including OS, security, and feature drops. If you order the Pro, Google will throw in a Pixel Watch 2 for free. The Pro starts at $999, while the regular 8 starts at $699.
The company unveiled the new devices during its keynote on Wednesday, showing off the new cameras, sensors and specs for both Pixel products. The Pixel 8 is designed with contoured edges, comes in Rose, Hazel and Obsidian colors and is smaller than its predecessor. It features a 6.2-inch display that Google says is 42% brighter than the Pixel 7.
The Pixel 8 Pro has a 6.7-inch “Super Actua” display, calling it Google’s “brightest display yet.” The larger phone has a matte glass back and comes in Porcelain, Bay, and Obsidian finishes. The 8 Pro also has a new temperature sensor on the back, allowing you to scan objects (is your pan hot enough? Is that baby bottle too warm?). The company has filed an application with the FDA to be able to scan human temperatures and send that data to a Fitbit.
