The Google Pixel 7 Pro was a good smartphone overall. It packed in everything a casual smartphone user would expect from an Android smartphone including, the now standard, timely software updates. But it came up short in a few areas like battery life, charging and had its fair share of heating issues and camera-related bugs as well. With the new Pixel 8 Pro, there's a brand-new design, plenty of AI-enabled features and even a new processor. Keeping this in mind, one would naturally expect Google to have worked on some if not all of the shortcomings of its predecessor. But that's not exactly the case with Google's newest Pixel flagship.
The Google Pixel 8 Pro has a brand-new design which appears flatter thanks to its flattened rear panel and its new display. The display gets quite bright outdoors and being flat also makes for distraction-free viewing. The phone maintains its IP68 rating and also offers wireless charging features.
At the heart of this phone is Google’s latest Tensor G3 processor which allows for several AI-enabled software features to run locally instead of connecting to the cloud. Despite its benefits when it comes to new AI-features, it’s not exactly there with the best in its segment when it comes to overall performance.
Battery life is the same as the previous model and the same applies to overall camera performance as well. Video quality has improved drastically and this works well even in low light. The new AI-enabled photo and video editing tools work really well and the same goes for the new Pro Controls shooting mode as well.
