Google's latest flagships are here, but which is the better choice for you: the Google Pixel 8 or the Google Pixel 8 Pro? We compared them to find out.
As is usual for Google these days, the newest Pixels were spoiled well before the Made By Google announcement event. But that hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm one bit, as the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are easily the two most advanced and desirable phones Google has ever created. The new Pixel 8 range introduces the Google Tensor G3 processor, a variable 120Hz refresh rate for both phones, and the option for 1TB of storage on the Pro model.
What about durability? Both are likely to be similarly tough, though the Pixel 8 Pro uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 rather than the first edition of Victus the Pixel 8 uses. Will that make a massive difference? Probably not. Both have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, so they can resist water ingress from short dips in clear water. Don’t take them swimming, though.
Battery life is harder to judge since we’ve not had the chance to take either phone for a spin yet. The Pro has a larger battery, but it also has a larger display to power, so it’s hard to say whether that will make a big difference in the end. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro had a similar difference in battery capacities, and the Pixel 7 actually came out as the slightly more long-lasting device during our reviews, but all that may change now that there’s a new processor in the mix.
There are further gems to be found here, too, in the form of a groundbreaking commitment to updates. Google has promised to keep the Pixel 8 range updated for an incredible seven years of operating system updates. Yes, buy this at launch, and you won’t run out of major Android upgrades until 2030. It’s an incredible promise, and both Pixel 8 models get this.Google Pixel 8 Pro vs.
The Pixel 8 starts from $699, $100 more than the Pixel 7. The Pixel 8 Pro follows the same trend, increasing the MSRP of the Pro model by $100 to $999.
