Introduction

Google knows a bit about mobile technology so it is no surprise that the Pixel 8 Pro is a game changer. Whether you enjoy creating content for fun or do it professionally (or both), the crystal-clear 50MP rear camera and 10MP front camera will ensure you have pro-level images every time in astonishing detail. The Pixel 8 Pro even has SLR camera-style settings like shutter speed and ISO while Night Sight and Astrophotography delivers stunning content from dusk until dawn. Plus the cutting edge audio AI applies noise reduction to your videos in crowded and noisy places.

Design

The design of the Pixel 8 Pro is sleek, lightweight and refined. The Gorilla Glass Victus glass covering the screen and back means it is also extremely durable. You can also look forward to a curved, polished aluminium frame and matt back glass that gives a very pleasing and high end feel to the smartphone. The Google Pixel 8 Pro is also rather special as it has a temperature sensor on the back that can measure anything from a baby bottle to a human!

Camera

Camera wise, snappers are in for a real treat. As well as the 50MP (megapixel) main camera - which is extremely high for a smartphone - both the ultrawide and 5x telephoto are also an astonishing 48MP. The upgraded main sensor with 2x optical zoom allows for incredibly detailed closeups and the best low light photos and videos yet on a Google mobile phone. The dedicated telephoto zoom also offers the highest quality zoom on a Pixel yet with up to 30x using Super Res Zoom. The ultrawide works its magic with a 95 degree field of view and dedicated autofocus for your sharpest selfies yet.

If you still aren’t completely happy with your photo, you then have AI employed throughout the smartphone so features such as Best Take and Magic Editor have your back every creative step of the way. Magic Editor is literally magic and you can manipulate the photo to such an extent that you will question what your eyes saw in the first place. Other exciting new features available on the Pro include Zoom Enhance and SLR controls.

Video

The 4K 60fps (frames per second) video capabilities on the Pixel 8 Pro are top notch too with Google processing every frame of video through its HDR pipeline. This maximises low light performance and the Audio Eraser means you can remove distracting noise from your content like a pro. You can also make the most of a bunch of AI video tools including Video Boost and Night Sight Video.

Display

The display on the Pixel 8 Pro has a peak brightness of 2,400 nits which makes it sharp and visible even in direct sunlight. Plus the variable refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz makes scrolling and gaming silky smooth and responsive. A variable refresh rate of this range makes animations and scrolling so smooth that it can feel as though you're scanning the pages of a book or magazine rather than looking at a smartphone screen.

Processor

The processor determines how powerful, fast and efficient a mobile phone is and the Pixel 8 Pro has the best one Google has to offer. It is also custom designed to provide not just AI to improve the smart functionality and usage of the phone, but also the phone’s cutting edge photography and video features.

Battery

The Google Pixel 8 Pro boasts up to 24 hours of use thanks to its whopping 5,050mAh capacity. This is one of the largest batteries available on a smartphone. You can even hope for up to 72 hours with Extreme Battery Saver mode. It also comes with fast wireless charging and battery share. Battery share 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 only fair to share.
