Design and Display: A Blend of Elegance and Innovation
The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro stand out with their refined design, boasting a combination of metal finishes and a sustainable touch with 100% recycled aluminum housing.
The Pixel 8 flaunts a 6.2-inch Actua display, which not only offers real-world clarity but is also 42% brighter than its predecessor, the Pixel 7.
On the other hand, the Pixel 8 Pro showcases a 6.7-inch Super Actua display, touted as Google's brightest display to date.
The Pro variant also introduces a novel temperature sensor, allowing users to swiftly scan objects to determine their temperature.
Camera Capabilities: Beyond the Ordinary
Both the Pixel 8 series specs highlight a significant upgrade in the camera department. The devices house a 50-megapixel primary camera, promising 21% more light sensitivity than the Pixel 7.
The Pixel 8 Pro, in particular, has received comprehensive camera enhancements.
From improved low-light photography to a more potent ultrawide lens and a telephoto lens that captures 56% more light than the Pixel 7 Pro, the upgrades are noteworthy.
Additionally, the front-facing camera now supports autofocus, ensuring top-notch selfies.
The camera app itself has been revamped, offering a more user-friendly interface.
