They serve as the successors to the [[Pixel 7]] and [[Pixel 7 Pro]], respectively. Visually, the phones resemble their respective predecessors, with incremental upgrades to their displays and performance. Powered by the third-generation [[Google Tensor]] [[system-on-chip]], Google placed heavy emphasis on their [[artificial intelligence]]–powered features, especially in the realm of [[generative AI]] and [[Image editing|photo editing]]. 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. They received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised both the hardware and software despite their modest upgrades. The phones' AI features, Google's historic promise of seven years of [[software updates]], and the Pro model's unconventional inclusion of a [[Infrared thermometer|temperature sensor]] received significant attention and was heavily scrutinized, drawing mixed reactions. == 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,<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /> and the phones became available in 21 countries on October 12.<ref name="ArsLaunch" /><ref name="Belgium" /> Google hardware chief [[Rick Osterloh]] announced later that month that the company would begin manufacturing its Pixel phones in India beginning in 2024 with the Pixel 8, following [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s lead with the [[iPhone 15]] series. [[Bloomberg News]] reported that [[Dixon Technologies]] and [[Foxconn]] were among the top contenders for the job.<ref name="IndiaReuters" /><ref name="IndiaBloomberg" /> == 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 were each available in three colors,<ref name="CNNHandsOn" /> with a fourth "Mint" color added in January 2024:<ref name="Mint" /> <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="4" |Pixel 8 |rowspan=3 style="font-size:70%;" | &nbsp; !colspan="4" |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 back (Mint).svg|71px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 smartphone in green.]] | [[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.]] | [[File:Google Pixel 8 Pro back (Mint).svg|77px|frameless|alt=Diagram of a Pixel 8 Pro smartphone in green.]] |- | {{Color icon|#8B8D8B|}} Hazel | {{Color icon|#191919|}} Obsidian | {{Color icon|#F1DDD2|}} Rose | {{Color icon|#CBF0ED|}} Mint | {{Color icon|#9CCCFA|}} Bay | {{Color icon|#191919|}} Obsidian | {{Color icon|#F7F7F7|}} Porcelain | {{Color icon|#CBF0ED|}} Mint |- |}</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" /> The Pixel 8 has a [[variable refresh rate]] of 60–120&nbsp;Hz, while the Pixel 8 Pro has variable refresh rate of 1–120&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]]", and the [[Titan M|Titan M2]] security [[co-processor]].<ref name="WiredLaunch" /><ref name="WorthIt" /> 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 [[Infrared thermometer|temperature sensor]] on its rear camera bar, an unconventional feature for a smartphone.<ref name="WiredLaunch" /> It was launched with its use on humans pending approval from the [[Food and Drug Administration]].<ref name="ReutersLaunch" /> The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were 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 shipped 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'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 were 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" /> with [[Gemini Nano]] later being integrated into the device.<ref name="GeminiArs" /><ref name="GeminiAP" /> Later, Google announced that Pixel 8 would also get Gemini Nano.<ref>{{cite web | last=Johnson | first=Allison | title=Surprise!

A series of commercials, produced in collaboration with Robot Agency, featured numerous NBA athletes and personalities such as [[Jimmy Butler]], [[Giannis Antetokounmpo]], [[Thanasis Antetokounmpo]], [[Chiney Ogwumike]], [[Flau'jae Johnson]], Jamad Fiin, Chris Brickley, Cameron Look, [[Richard Jefferson]], and [[Crissa Jackson]].<ref name="NBA9to5" /><ref name="NBASBJ" /> Google also collaborated with ''[[The New York Times]]'' to capture [[Street style|street-style]] video for the publication's "Style Outside" column.<ref name="StyleOutsideNYT" /><ref name="StyleOutsideGlossy" /> To promote the introduction of the "Mint" color in January 2024, Google partnered with street artist Ricardo Gonzalez to paint over a Pixel 8 billboard in New York City.<ref name="Mural" /> In February 2024, Google released a commercial titled "Javier in Frame" which advertised the Pixel 8's Guided Frame feature, ahead of its airing during [[Super Bowl LVIII]]. Directed by Adam Morse and telling the story of a blind man named Javier who uses Guided Frame to "document important moments in his life", the 60-second commercial marked Google's third [[Super Bowl commercial|Super Bowl spot]] in a row to market the Pixel.<ref name="JavierAdAge" /><ref name="JavierAdweek" /> == 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" /> As the Pixel 8 was "the first mainstream phone to bake generative AI directly into the photo creation process at no extra cost", computer science professor [[Ren Ng]] at the [[University of California, Berkeley]] described it as a pivotal milestone in the area of imagery.<ref name="UhOh" /> Nicole Nguyen of ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' raised concerns with the implications of the Pixel 8's [[Image editing|photo editing]] features, fearing that it could lead to an influx in "[[fauxtography]]", the malicious manipulation of photographs.<ref name="Fauxtography" /> The AI features themselves received mixed responses. Writing for ''Wired'', Julian Chokkattu expressed excitement that these features, hitherto limited to those proficient with 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 her colleague Jay Peters contemplated the question, "What is a photo?"<ref name="WhatIsAPhoto" /> Reviews were largely positive, though ''[[Mashable]]'' observed a prevalent discontent with the phones' battery life, temperature sensor, and higher prices.<ref name="MashableSummary" /> Writing for ''[[The Guardian]]'', Samuel Gibbs praised the phones' affordability and build quality,<ref name="GuardianReview" /><ref name="GuardianReview2" /> while ''[[Digital Spy]]''{{'s}} Jason Murdock highlighted their cameras, performances, and displays.<ref name="DSReview" /><ref name="DSReview2" /> Chokkattu was thoroughly impressed by the phones' AI features, but was less pleased with the battery life and Face Unlock system.<ref name="WiredReview" /> ''[[PCMag]]''{{'s}} Iyaz Akhtar echoed these sentiments,<ref name="PCMagReview" /><ref name="PCMagReview2" /> while June Wan of ''[[ZDNET]]'' and Daniel Howley of [[Yahoo!
