They serve as the successors to the [[Pixel 7]] and [[Pixel 7 Pro]], respectively. The phones were first previewed in May 2023. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were officially announced on October 4, 2023, at the annual [[Made by Google]] event, and were released in the United States<!--Do not add other countries, this is an American product--> on October 12. == History == In May 2023, ''9to5Google'' reported that Google intended to launch the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in late 2023.<ref name="PixelWatch2" /> The phones were approved by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) in August of that year.<ref name="FCC" /> After previewing the phones in September,<ref name="Preview" /> Google officially announced the phones on October 4, alongside the [[Pixel Watch 2]], at the annual [[Made by Google]] event.<ref name="Announcement" /> Pre-orders became available the same day, with the phones scheduled to be released on October 12 in 20 countries.<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /><ref name="ArsLaunch" /> == Specifications == === Design === The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are visually similar to the [[Pixel 7]] and [[Pixel 7 Pro]], respectively,<ref name="MashableLaunch" /> with minor refinements such as a flatter screen, more rounded corners, and softer edges. The Pro model also features a matte finish.<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /><ref name="ArsLaunch" /><ref name="GuardianLaunch" /> They are each available in three colors:<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /> <div class="mw-collapsible-toggle-placeholder" style="right: 100em;"></div><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><div class="overflowbugx" style="overflow:auto; width:auto"> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; width:60em; height:18em;" |+ {{Screen reader-only|Color options for the Pixel 8 series}}<!-- Hex codes pulled from Google Store website --> !colspan="3" |Pixel 8 |rowspan=3 style="font-size:70%;" | &nbsp; !colspan="3" |Pixel 8 Pro |- | [[File:Google Pixel 8 back (Hazel).svg|71px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 smartphone in green.]] | [[File:Google Pixel 8 back (Obsidian).svg|71px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 smartphone in black.]] | [[File:Google Pixel 8 back (Rose).svg|71px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 smartphone in pink.]] | [[File:Google Pixel 8 Pro back (Bay).svg|77px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 Pro smartphone in blue.]] | [[File:Google Pixel 8 Pro back (Obsidian).svg|77px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 Pro smartphone in black.]] | [[File:Google Pixel 8 Pro back (Porcelain).svg|77px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 Pro smartphone in white.]] |- | {{Color icon|#8B8D8B|}} Hazel | {{Color icon|#191919|}} Obsidian | {{Color icon|#F1DDD2|}} Rose | {{Color icon|#9CCCFA|}} Bay | {{Color icon|#191919|}} Obsidian | {{Color icon|#F7F7F7|}} Porcelain |- |}</div></div> === Hardware === The Pixel 8 has a {{convert|157|mm|in|1|abbr=on|order=flip}} [[FHD+]] [[1080p]] [[OLED]] display at 428&nbsp;[[Pixels per inch|ppi]] with a {{resx|2400|1080}} pixel resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio, while the Pixel 8 Pro has a {{convert|170|mm|in|1|abbr=on|order=flip}} [[QHD+]] [[1440p]] [[Low-temperature polycrystalline silicon|LTPO]] OLED curved-edge display at 489&nbsp;ppi with a {{resx|2992|1344}} pixel resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio.<ref name="TCLaunch" /> Both have [[variable refresh rate]]s of 60–120&nbsp;Hz. Both phones contain a [[Wide-angle lens|wide]] and a [[Ultra wide angle lens|ultrawide]] rear camera, with the Pixel 8 Pro featuring an additional 48 megapixel [[telephoto]] 5× [[optical zoom]] rear camera. The front camera on both phones contains a 10.5 megapixel ultrawide lens.<ref name="ArsLaunch" /> As with the Pixel 7 series, the Face Unlock [[facial recognition system|facial recognition]] system is enabled by software and the front camera, but adds support for secure biometric authentication.<ref name="FaceUnlock" /><ref name="WiredLaunch" /> The phones are powered by the third-generation [[Google Tensor]] [[system-on-chip]] (SoC), marketed as "[[Google Tensor G3]]".<ref name="WiredLaunch" /> The OLED display, marketed as "Actua" and "Super Actua" on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, respectively, boasts "better color accuracy and higher brightness".<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /><ref name="WiredLaunch" /> The Pro model also features a [[temperature sensor]] on its rear camera bar, an unconventional feature for a smartphone.<ref name="WiredLaunch" /> That feature is pending approval from the [[Food and Drug Administration]].<ref name="ReutersLaunch" /> The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are among the first phones on the market to support [[Wi-Fi 7]], the latest wireless standard.<ref name="WiFi7" /> === Software === The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will ship with [[Android 14]] at launch,<ref name="GuardianLaunch" /> coinciding with the [[stable release]] of Android 14 on the [[Android Open Source Project]] (AOSP),<ref name="AOSP" /> along with version 9.1 of the newly renamed [[Pixel Camera]] app.<ref name="CameraApp" /> It will receive at least seven years of major OS upgrades with support extending to 2030, a significant extension compared to previous generations that places the Pixel on par with [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s typical support lifetime for [[iPhones]].<ref name="GuardianLaunch" /><ref name="WiredLaunch" /> Google also stated that it would stock [[spare part]]s for the devices for seven years.<ref name="SpareParts" /> ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]'' and ''[[The Verge]]'' noted that these two commitments were potentially linked to California's impending [[right to repair]] act requiring companies to provide support for devices costing $100 or more for seven years.<ref name="WiredLaunch" /><ref name="SpareParts" /> As with previous Pixel smartphones, [[artificial intelligence]] and software advancements took center stage during the Made by Google launch event. New camera features announced include Best Take, an upgraded Magic Eraser, Night Sight Video, Magic Editor, Audio Magic Eraser, and Real Tone on video.<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /><ref name="WiredLaunch" /> Exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro are Video Boost and manual "Pro" camera controls,<ref name="GuardianLaunch" /><ref name="TCImpressions" /> although the latter was only artificially restricted to the Pro model via software.<ref name="ProControls" /> As part of Google's ongoing response to [[OpenAI]]'s [[ChatGPT]], Google also announced [[Assistant with Bard]], a new version of the [[Google Assistant]] [[virtual assistant]] that integrates the company's recently introduced [[Bard (chatbot)|Bard]] chatbot.<ref name="Bard" /> Other [[generative AI]] features included improved [[call screening]], faster [[voice typing]], grammar suggestions on [[Gboard]], upgrades to the Recorder app, and a new [[Magnifying glass|magnifier]] app.<ref name="GenAI" /> The Pixel 8 Pro was touted as the first piece of hardware to run Google's generative AI [[large language models]] fully on-device.<ref name="OnDevice" /> == Marketing == [[File:Google Pixel 8, shown in Shibuya Stream 2.jpg|thumb|Pixel 8]] Google partnered with [[X Corp.]] to include an [[Easter egg (media)|Easter egg]] on [[X (social network)|X]], formerly known as Twitter, when users searched the hashtag #GooglePixel on launch day.<ref name="Twitter" /> == Reception == === Critical response === In early reactions, three aspects particularly piqued commentators' interest: the Pixel 8 Pro's temperature sensor, Google's promise of seven years of updates, and the heavy emphasis on AI. The temperature sensor drew varied reactions: some found it a potentially useful novelty,<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /><ref name="EngadgetHandsOn" /><ref name="TCImpressions" /> while others were bewildered and dismissed it as a strange gimmick.<ref name="WhatsUp" /><ref name="ArsLaunch" /><ref name="MashableLaunch" /> The response to Google's seven-year pledge was similarly divided: several journalists welcomed the move, hailing it as astonishing and monumental;<ref name="BiggestThing" /><ref name="YourMove" /><ref name="Rejoice" /> others questioned whether Google would fulfill its promise.<ref name="Meaningless" /><ref name="Trust" /><ref name="GettingWeird" /> ''[[The Washington Post]]''{{'s}} Chris Velazco opined that the phones reflected "a deepening obsession with AI",<ref name="Obsession" /> with ''The Verge''{{'s}} Jon Porter describing the launch event as "a parade of AI", observing that the phrase "AI" had been invoked over fifty times.<ref name="Parade" /> The AI features themselves receiving mixed responses. Writing for ''Wired'', Julian Chokkattu expressed excitement that these features, hitherto limited to those proficient with [[Raster graphics editor|image]] or [[video editing software]], were now being made accessible to a wider audience;<ref name="AIPhotoTricks" /> Ben Sin of ''[[XDA Developers]]'' found them "fun and scary".<ref name="XDAHandsOn" /> Porter felt that some of the features showcased were unnecessary, concluding that Google was continuing to attempt to reassert its position as a leader in AI after ChatGPT's meteoric rise earlier that year had [[Bard (chatbot)#Background|caught Google executives off-guard]].<ref name="Parade" /> Also writing for ''The Verge'', Allison Johnson described the features as "complicated and messy",<ref name="ComplicatedMessy" /> while Jay Peters contemplated the question, "What is a photo?"<ref name="WhatIsAPhoto" /> Reviewers noticed Google AI first claim, noting that Google Tensor G3 is mostly useless as most generative AI features need to run online in Google Cloud.<ref>[https://www-notebookcheck-net.translate.goog/MrWhosetheboss-video-reveals-Google-s-Pixel-8-Pro-Tensor-G3-off-loads-all-generative-AI-tasks-to-the-cloud.760215.0.html El video de

Data Group]], predicted that Google could achieve higher sales numbers "if supported by strong marketing", considering its emphasis on AI.<ref name="ReutersLaunch" /> Multiple publications have labeled the phones Google's latest subdued effort to compete with Apple's dominant iPhone sales.<ref name="ReutersLaunch" /><ref name="CNBCLaunch" /> == References == {{reflist|refs= <!-- INFOBOX -->
