Google's latest hardware lineup, including the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Buds Pro, and Fitbit Charge 6, is now available for preorder, with some attractive bonuses.
The Pixel 8 Pro has undergone a teardown, revealing concerns about its ability to manage heat and the absence of a vapor chamber cooling system, relying instead on graphite and copper. Additionally, questions arise about the performance, efficiency, and stability of the Tensor G3 SoC. Despite these concerns, the device offers impressive camera samples and AI features.
The rumored Google Pixel 8a smartphone is expected to be released next year and will feature a redesigned body with rounded corners, slimmer bezels, and a smaller chin, according to leaked renders.
Google's upcoming Pixel 8a will have a design similar to the flagship Pixel 8 series, with rounded edges and a pill-shaped camera cutout on the rear, although it is unlikely to have a high refresh rate panel like the Pixel 8 and may have chunky bezels, and it is expected to use the same Tensor G3 SoC as the Pixel 8 with possibly a lower clock speed and 7 years of software support.
The Google Pixel 8 Pro stands out not for its hardware, but for its generative AI capabilities, which are groundbreaking and make it one of the smartest smartphones on the market.
Google may initially limit the new version of Google Assistant infused with AI from Google's Bard generative AI to the Pixel 8 series and possibly the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 series, with a staged rollout to other devices expected in the coming months.
Google has released the source code for the Pixel 8 series, confirming that the lower frequencies of the Tensor G3 SoC were intentional to prioritize battery efficiency over peak performance.
The biggest hardware upgrade on the Pixel 8 series is Google's new "Actua" displays, which surpasses its competitors in terms of brightness, colors, and panel quality, earning them the top ranking for smartphone displays by DXOMark.
The release of the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro highlights the missed opportunity for Google to wait and improve upon the Pixel Fold, as the latest devices offer significant improvements in issues such as heat problems and chip performance.
