The Made By Google event has left us with a bunch of new and desirable devices, including the Pixel 8. Here's everything that was announced at the event.
The speculation and leaks are over, and the new devices have been officially revealed. The Made By Google event for October 2023 has left us with three amazing new devices and one incredible feat of software engineering that’s sure to be the talk of all smartphone and technology lovers for the next few months. Yes, while the Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2 may have been the hardware stars of the show, it’s the Best Take mode that really took our breath away.
Enter Best Take, which uses a series of photos to create a single blended image. So, it can identify if you’ve taken a number of different images of the same scenario or people, and it can take specific elements of one to add to another. In short, it can take better headshots from different images and put them together into a single image. It’s basically automated Photoshop, but for your phone, and it’s sure to be a huge game changer for Instagram lovers and many others.
The Google Tensor G3 chipset is a key part of this new phone, and it’s an upgrade across the board, with increases for the CPU, GPU, and processing technology. It needs that additional grunt too, as the machine learning model on the Pixel 8 is 10x larger than the machine learning library on the Pixel 6, which makes sense considering the G3 is powering more advanced spam filters, more natural conversations with the Google Assistant, new Magic Editor features, and more.
The battery is slightly larger than on last year’s Pro model, but since we’re dealing with new hardware, there’s no real telling what the battery life is likely to be. While a day’s worth of battery life is expected and hoped for, it could go either way. The Tensor processors have traditionally struggled with battery life, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Google has fixed this.
The Pixel 8 is equipped with a dual-lens rear camera, and while some may miss the utility of a telephoto lens, there’s still plenty to love here. Google has retained the excellent 50MP main lens and 12MP ultrawide lens from the Pixel 7, and we’re expecting these to be just as great as last year. Like the Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 8 also has a new 10.5MP selfie lens around the front, replacing the most disappointing element of last year’s phone.
