Introduction

The 2000 nit display on the Google Pixel 8 is so vivid and bright that it is visible even in direct sunlight. And whether you are a content consumer or creator, the Pixel 8 has your back with a 24 hour battery life and a Tensor G3 processor that can handle pretty much anything your apps throw at it.

For the photographers and videographers out there, prepare to be impressed with Magic Editor and Best Take. Plus you can manage audio in your videos like a pro with Audio Magic Eraser so noise in crowded areas is no longer an issue.

Design

Durability is key for a phone you can’t do without so the Gorilla Glass Victus covering the front and back is just the ticket. Spills and rain are also no longer a big deal and the satin finish gives the Pixel 8 a sleek and refined look and feel. The high end design is then topped off with a curved, polished aluminium frame and polished glass back.

Camera

So what can you expect from some of the incredible photography tricks and treats available with the Pixel 8? One of the most mind-blowing features has to be Best Take. Whether your subjects are photogenic or not is no longer an issue as Best Take ensures you get the best shot by effectively blending a burst of photos into one perfect pic. Magic Editor is another game changer. For those of you that are familiar with Magic Eraser, Magic Editor takes it up a notch. You can manipulate reality by moving objects around in your photo to where you feel they should have been in the first place. It even gives you suggestions on what to change like swapping a grey sky for a sunset.

You also now have Macro Focus for striking detail in smaller subjects and features such as Night Sight so you can be snapping away from dusk until dawn. The Super Res Zoom means you can get sharp close ups without an extra telephoto lens too. Hardware-wise, you can look forward to a 50MP dual camera and 10.5MP selfie camera with flash.

Video

The AI tricks are not just limited to photography either with features such as Audio Magic Eraser reducing distracting sounds in your video content like a pro. You can also look forward to 4K video quality so your videos look better than ever.

Display

The maximum refresh rate has taken a leap from the Pixel 7 now at 120Hz. This makes scrolling even more responsive and ensures fast-moving gaming is slick. The display has a peak brightness of 2000 nits which means it is sharp and visible at all times. The 6.2 inch size makes it a lot more portable than the Pixel 8 Pro at 6.7 inches without sacrificing the Pixel’s incredible user experience.

Processor

The Pixel 8 has the best chipset that Google has to offer under the hood. The chipset or processor is important as it determines how powerful, fast and efficient a mobile phone is. The Tensor G3 chipset available with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro is also custom designed to provide AI-support that vastly improves the smart functionality and usage of the phone as well as a multitude of cool new photo and video features.

Battery

Considering its size, the Google Pixel 8 impresses with at least 24 hours of use thanks to its 4485mAh battery. It also comes with Qi-based fast wireless charging and battery share. Battery share is useful as it allows you to turn your phone into a wireless charger so you can charge other wireless-charging phones or accessories on the go. With all that power, it is really only fair to share. With Extreme Battery Saver, you can even hope for up to 72 hours of use without the need to charge.

Colours and Storage Options

The colours to choose for this fine piece of Pixel kit are Hazel, Rose and Obsidian (black). Storage options are 128GB or 256GB.
