Google is working on the future generation of Pixel phones in the background, but so far it hasn't provided any authoritative details on the upcoming technology. Google normally performs a really terrible job of keeping things secret, though. Even though many details have already been revealed, the phones won't be revealed for some time (perhaps in October).

There will be two leader models: the larger Master and the more subdued Vanilla. The Pro will have an improved display and camera over earlier models. Oddly, the plain telephone will be more understated than its predecessor. Start with those first.

Display:

The Pixel 8 presentation will at long last be knock up to 120Hz revive rate after a few ages of running at 90Hz. This does not imply that Google will finally use an LTPO panel for the standard flagship; however, information that has been leaked suggests that the phone will have new refresh modes that allow it to select between 10, 30, and 60 Hz for power savings.

The new display will be 6.17 inches in size instead of the previous one's 6.3 inches. The resolution will remain at FHD+ (20:9), and Google has unmistakably chosen a board with greater brilliance this year (1,400 nits, up from a thousand nits).

Plan:

Google is staying with the "visor" plan for this age. The new generation's display corners will be more rounded than those of the 7-series, as you may have seen in the previous section.

Additionally, CAD designs predict that the Pixel 8 will measure 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm. This is significantly smaller than the Pixel 7's dimensions of 155.6 x 73.2 x 8.7 mm, which also makes it smaller than the Pixel 7a's dimensions of 152 x 72.9 x 9 mm and more comparable in size to the Galaxy S23's 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm.

Chipset:

New Tensor chipsets are debuted in the Pixel flagship models. Later, the a-series makes use of these chipsets. The Pixel 8 duo will be equipped with the third-generation custom chip, which will bear the designation "4nm" and come once more from Samsung's foundries.

All the more critically, it will hop two ages forward from the G2 with regards to equipment. The Tensor G3 will include a solitary Cortex-X3 at 3.0GHz, 4x A715 at 2.45GHz and 4x A510 at 2.15GHz. For comparison, the G2 had four A55 cores at 1.80 GHz, two Cortex-X1 cores at 2.85 GHz, and two A78 cores at 2.35 GHz.

We ought to see a major leap in execution and particularly energy effectiveness. Having said that, the G3 will quickly fall behind the competition, though not as far behind as the G2 was, given that there are already A720 cores available and the Cortex-X4 is just around the corner.

The G3 will update its GPU to an Immortalis-G715 with 10 centers running at 890MHz. This GPU is a couple of ages fresher than the Mali-G710 MC10 of the G2 chip and supports beam following in equipment. Additionally, Google's AI expertise is anticipated to benefit from a faster NPU.

Camera:

The ISOCELL GN2, which has a new sensor for both models' 50MP main cameras, will take the place of the GN1 in the 7-series. This sensor is larger (1/1.12" versus 1/1.31") and has larger local pixels (1.4m versus 1.2m). When it is binning down to 12.5 MP (4-to-1), it has an effective pixel size of 2.8 m.

Due to the fact that each pixel has two photo diodes as opposed to one, the sensor can also output 100MP images in the opposite direction. The GN2 has an improved AF method called Dual Pixel Pro, which is the main difference from the GN1. Each pixel is split vertically by the two photodiodes on the GN1, while the GN2 splits diagonally to detect phase differences both vertically and horizontally.

Additionally, the Pixel 8 Pro will receive an upgraded ultrawide with a 64MP, 1.37-inch, Sony IMX787 sensor, 0.8-micron pixels, and support for 4-to-1 binning. The 7 Pro, in contrast, has a tiny 12MP 1/2.9" sensor with 1.25 m pixels.

Price:

Again, no information has leaked up to this time, but we don't expect any surprises given that the base price of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 was $405 and $485, while the price of the Pixel 6 Genius and Pixel 7 Expert was $350 and $500 at launch. The pricing strategy for the 8-series should remain the same given that the vanilla model still lacks the majority of the Pro's features (which accounts for the $300 price difference).
