Detailed Google Pixel 8 series specs have just surfaced, leaving very little to the imagination. These specs come from kamila aka @Za_Raczke, a tipster who has been sharing a ton of Pixel 8 info lately. This info comes from a partnership with 91mobiles, following the Pixel 8 pricing leak.
Detailed Google Pixel 8 series specs leak, leaving no stone unturned
That being said, let’s jump straight in, shall we? The Pixel 8 will have a smaller, and less sharp display in comparison, as expected. It will utilize a 6.2-inch fullHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate (60-120Hz). Its brightness will go up to 2,000 nits.
The Pixel 8 Pro, on the other hand, will utilize a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO OLED display (1-120Hz). That panel will go up to 2,400 nits of brightness at its peak. So it will also be a bit brighter, though both will be immensely bright.
The Tensor G3 SoC from Google will fuel both phones
The same SoC will fuel the two phones, the Google Tensor G3. The Titan M2 security chip will also be a part of the package. The RAM situation is a bit odd. The tipster claims that both phones will utilize 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which is a bit odd. The Pixel 8 Pro was reported to offer 12GB of RAM, and that could still happen.
In any case, you’ll be able to choose between 128GB and 256GB storage options for the Pixel 8. The Pixel 8 Pro will allegedly be available in variants up to 1TB in the US, and up to 512GB in the rest of the world. Do note that UFS 3.1 flash storage will be used, though, it seems.
The Pixel 8 is said to utilize a 4,575mAh battery, while the Pixel 8 Pro will use a 5,050mAh unit. The smaller phone will offer wired charging up to 27W, and wireless up to 18W. The bigger phone will support wired charging up to 30W, and wireless up to 23W.
Google will allegedly offer 7 years of OS & security updates for the two phones
Google is also getting ready to offer 7 years of OS and security updates (UPDATE: the tipster clarified, 7 years of security updates, not known how many general OS updates), it would seem. Needless to say, that would crush what Samsung offers, and be truly a moment for applause at the event. It remains to be seen if it will happen, though.
The two phones will include a 50-megapixel main camera (1.2um pixel size, f/1.68 aperture, 82-degree FoV, 1/1.31-inch sensor size). The ultrawide cameras will be different. The Pixel 8 will include a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera (f/2.2 aperture, 1.25um pixel size, 125.8-degree FoV). The Pixel 8 Pro, on the other hand, will pack in a 48-megapixel ultrawide unit (f/1.95 aperture, 0.8um pixel size, 125.5-degree FoV).
Only the ‘Pro’ model will have a telephoto camera
What about the telephoto camera? Well, only the Pixel 8 Pro will have one. We’ll get a 48-megapixel telephoto camera (f/2.8 aperture, 0.7um pixel size, 21.8-degree FoV, 5x optical zoom). A 10.5-megapixel selfie camera will sit on the front of both phones.
Wi-Fi 7 will be supported, as will Bluetooth 5.3. Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus will protect the Pixel 8, while the Victus 2 will be included on the Pixel 8 Pro. Both phones will be IP68 certified, and both will include an in-display fingerprint scanner and support face scanning.
