The Google Pixel 8 Pro - Excellent Technology for your Pocket
Clad in an ominous obsidian black shade from polished glass rear to gleaming aluminum sides, the Google Pixel 8 Pro oozes understated class. That dark minimalist allure contrasts beautifully against the phone's edge-to-edge 6.7-inch flexible OLED display which seems to spill over the sides. Gorilla Glass Victus protection adds durability without compromising on the ultra-premium look. The mobile is also available in Bay, and Porcelain.
Cinematic Viewing Bliss The subtly curved display proves an absolute delight showcasing vibrant colors and inky blacks thanks to Google's machine learning powering aspects like auto color temperature adjustments to ambient lighting. At peak 1500 nits brightness and HDR10+ compliance, both movies and YouTube pop in all their high dynamic range glory. The 120Hz fluid refresh rate along with sharp QHD+ resolution take both gaming and media consumption up several notches while LTPO 2.0 enables the display to smart-switch between refresh rates from 10 to 120 Hz optimizing battery impact.
Revolutionary Camera Setup While the front offers near bezel-less elegance, the rear hosts the camera hardware that well and truly helps this flagship pull ahead of rivals. An expansive camera visor tucked discreetly into the top left corner houses a set of three cameras headed by a 48MP primary shooter. Google's computational photography expertise shines through here with class-leading low light performance, intricate details and mesmerizing Night Sight shots. Alongside, a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom lets you get staggeringly close to the action retaining incredible clarity - be it wildlife, your kid's football game or stage performers mid-solo. An ultrawide 12MP lens packs autofocus allowing sweeping landscape or large group portraits that miss nobody out. OIS and EIS stabilization provide jitter-free video across all three cameras.
Supreme Portrait Photography Dedicated Portrait Mode enhances background blur to cinematic levels making your subjects truly pop thanks to Google's advanced machine learning and semantic segmentation. The upgraded 11.1MP selfie camera also receives autofocus to nail perfect crisp closeup self-portraits every single time. Photos Unblur leverages multi-frame imaging and AI to salvage blurred shots into beautifully crisp memories.
Blazing Speeds with Tensor G3 At the heart of the Pixel 8 Pro lies Google's next-gen Tensor G3 silicon promising up to 80% faster CPU and GPU speeds versus last year's model for buttery smooth application performance and gorgeous, fluid gameplay graphics. Paired with 8 gigs of RAM and 128GB storage, the phone juggles intensive creative workloads like advanced editing tools, console-quality games and dozens of chrome tabs with barely breaking a sweat. On the battery front, the 5000 mAh pack keeps pace with busy days thanks to clever adaptive battery optimization. 30W wired charging juices back up in a flash while rapid wireless charging gets you to 50% charge in just 30 minutes. Reverse wireless charging tops up your earbuds or smartwatch when you're on the move.
As a Google flagship, the Pixel 8 Pro offers the cleanest implementation of Android 13 peppered by Google's signature AI-infused software smarts. Live Translate breaks language barriers in real-time across over 55 global tongues while Call Screen politely handles spam so you needn't bother. The Recorder app generates automated transcripts saving hours of meeting note-taking time. At a Glance widgets serve contextual suggestions minimizing app launches. Director Mode allows controlling Pixel tablet shoots remotely from your 8 Pro when vlogging.
With its stealthy obsidian black finish, cutting-edge Tensor G3 performance, breakthrough camera tech and extensive software smarts, the Google Pixel 8 Pro stands in a league of its own as Android's definitive premium flagship. Expect the unexpected, starting at £999.
