At the event it held today, Google introduced its smart watch and headphone models, especially the Pixel 8 series, which we have been encountering with many leaks from its features to unboxing videos. And with an unexpected surprise. Here are the Google Pixel 8 specs and price…
Google Pixel 8 specs and price!
Before the new Pixel 8 specs and price, let’s clarify the issue we mentioned in the title. Leaks we have been encountering for a while have been saying that Google will extend Android update support to over 4 years with the new Tensor G3 processor. As a matter of fact, it happened.
Today, it was said that Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will receive Android updates for a full 7 years. Of course, the intention here may not be support for major 7 versions. For example, the last major version may be Android 18, which will come in 2027, and update support may be offered to this version for the next 3 years. But this is very unlikely. Therefore, we can say that the first devices that will receive Android 21 have already been determined.
Let’s give the latest developments about the price of Google Pixel 8 before its features. In previous years, the predecessors of this device, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 6 models, went on sale with a price tag of $ 599. However, this year, it rose to $699 with the 7-year update support and the effect of global inflation.
So there was an increase of $100. However, many people are already willing to pay this difference. Because we know that an average Android phone has a usage period of around 3 years with update support. Therefore, 7 years is a very important development. Moreover, the device brings many new features.
So what are these new features? Let’s start from the front first. The device’s 6.2-inch Full HD resolution OLED screen offers 120 Hz refresh rate and 2000 nits brightness. In addition, the entire surface has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
The device includes the new Tensor G3 processor. This new chipset also brings the Titan M2 security chip. In this way, it is both much stronger and much safer than its predecessors. There is also 8 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
Shiftdelete.netWhen we look at the back of the device, we see that there is a 50 Megapixel main camera with OIS support and a 12 Megapixel wide angle camera in the metal island at the top. There is also a 10.5 Megapixel selfie camera on the front.
Pixel 8 has a 4,575 mAh battery that supports 27 Watt fast wired and 18 Watt fast wireless charging via USB 3.2 (Type-C). Additionally, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and an under-display fingerprint reader are available. Finally, we should also point out that it has an IP68 water resistance certificate.
