There are some upgrades to the Google Pixel 8 compared to the Pixel 7 series. The 6.2-inch Actua display has been upgraded with HDR support and is brighter in High Brightness Mode, so it’s clearer when outdoors. It also has a higher refresh rate, which means smoother scrolling.
The battery is still long-lasting with fast, wireless charging. However, the Pixel 8 also comes with Battery Share, a handy feature that lets you charge other devices using your phone’s battery.
The Pixel 8 also has some new AI features. For photo editing, Best Take lets you improve group photos to make sure everyone’s smiling. And for video, Audio Magic Eraser removes unwanted background noise from videos. The Pixel 8’s camera also captures better images in low light.
Both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7 series come with the Titan M2 security system and built-in VPN to protect your personal information. But the Pixel 8 is powered by the Google Tensor G3 processor, which is a generational upgrade from the Pixel 7’s Google Tensor G2. That means it’s faster with improved AI abilities.
The Google Pixel 8 has lots of handy benefits.
Make your photos and videos look and sound even better with tools like Magic Editor, that lets you move around objects, adjust lighting and more. Or Best Take that combines similar photos into one fantastic picture, so if someone in the group blinked, it’s no longer an issue. And Audio Magic Eraser removes unwanted sound from videos.
It also comes with Battery Share, so you can charge other devices using your Pixel 8’s battery.

1 When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the screen is 6.2 inches. Actual viewable area is less. Dimension may vary by configuration and manufacturing process. 2 Compared to earlier Pixel phones. Fast wired charging rates (up to 27W) are based upon use of the Google 30 W USB-C® Charger plugged into a wall socket. Actual results may be slower. Adaptors sold separately. 3 Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and the use of other features. Average battery life during testing was approximately 31 hours. Battery testing conducted on a major operator network. Battery testing conducted in California in mid-2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
