The Google Pixel 8 series will be unveiled on October 4. The company has seemingly confirmed the lineup, which is said to feature the Pixel 8, as the base model and Pixel 8 Pro as the all-new Pro model this year. It will succeed the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which were released last year in October 2022. Several leaks, reports and certification listings of the upcoming handsets have hinted at key specifications of the phones. The soon-to-be-launched phones are also expected to offer considerable upgrades over its preceding models. Now, a few days before the official launch, a tipster has listed all the likely specifications and likely prices of the smartphones.

Tipster Kamila Wojciechowska (@Za_Raczke) listed the complete specifications and expected price points of the Pixel 8 series in a post on X. The report claimed that the base Pixel 8 will be offered in Obsidian, Hazel and Rose colour options, while the Pixel 8 Pro is said to come in Obsidian, Porcelain and Bay variants. According to the post, the base model is expected to be priced at $699 (roughly Rs. 51,800), while the pro model will likely be listed at $899 (roughly Rs. 74,800).

The base Pixel 8 is expected to feature a 6.17-inch OLED display with a full-HD+ resolution while the pro model is said to get a 6.71-inch LTPO OLED with QHD resolution. The screens are likely to arrive with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The handsets are expected to be powered by Tensor G3 SoCs and are tipped to launch in 8GB + 12GB and 128GB + 256GB RAM and storage variants. The phones will ship with Android 14.

The dual rear camera unit of the Pixel 8 is expected to support a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens, while the Pixel 8 Pro is expected to include a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 48-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens and another 48-megapixel telephoto camera with 5x zoom. The phones are likely to come with 10.5-megapixel front camera sensors.

Google is expected to offer seven years of OS and security updates with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The phones will also likely support Real Tone, Night Sight, Astrophotography, and Super Res Zoom features alongside Magic Editor's face-swapping property. Users will reportedly also be able to use Video Boost and Light Sight features, capturing videos in low-light conditions. The phones are also said to come with an Audio Eraser, which will help decrease unwanted background noise in videos.

Pixel 8 will likely pack a 4,485mAh battery with 24W wired and 12W wireless fast charging support. On the other hand, the Pixel 8 Pro is expected to pack a 4,950mAh battery with 27W wired fast and 12W wireless charging support.
