Many details about the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have already been revealed two months before their launch in the market. A review.
August is already a few days under its belt and we realize that the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are only two months away. The new devices are expected to be presented in the first half of October. In fact, should there be more leaks in the coming days and weeks, pre-series devices will surely appear again on the Internet. But what do we know about the new Google smartphone so far?
In fact, some details about the new Pixel 8 series are already known. These include new screens that are significantly brighter than their predecessors. Also, the Pixel 8 should get a slightly smaller display that’s 120 Hz instead of 90 Hz. With the Pixel 8 Pro, the display is now completely flat, ditching the curved shape of the past few years.
For the main camera, Google is likely switching to a new 50 MP image sensor and even a 64 MP image sensor for ultra wide angles. Reserved for Periscope Pro.
Usually won’t be a huge jump. We expect the same for the fingerprint sensor, which several sources say is based on ultrasound this time. Yes! It is much faster and less prone to wrong entries. A price increase seems inevitable this time, so this time the entry could only start at 699 instead of 649 euros.
Why smartphone thermometer?
The biggest question mark is the temperature sensor that Google is planning for the Pixel 8 Pro. It has been installed in the camera area, a product video showed the function months ago. So far we have no answer to the question of what a temperature sensor would do there if it really only measures body temperature on the forehead. I think there is more to it than that.
Do you have any special wishes about hardware?
