Google Pixel 8 India launch tomorrow: 10 things to know before the event

According to rumors, the Google Pixel 8 will have a 6.2-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display with a maximum brightness of 1,400 nits and a pixel density of 427. An optional 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz LTPO OLED display is available for the Pro model.

-Like the models from the previous year, the phones are probably going to have a design that combines metal and glass. A punch-hole display design, which is currently the norm in the industry across all price levels, would be visible on the front.

- A temperature monitoring sensor and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner are also rumored to be included in the Pixel 8 Pro. If the temperature sensor in the Pro edition is included and functions well, it will raise the bar for smartphones.

-The Pixel 8 Pro could have a 4,4950mAh battery with support for 27W fast cable charging, compared to the normal model's 4,485mAh battery that supports 24W fast wired charging. Given that it no longer sells chargers, it is unlikely that the corporation will include one in the box.

-Leaks suggest that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will have seven years of software support. This large upgrade is anticipated to feature both security patches and significant Android OS changes, however, the specifics have not yet been confirmed.

The new Tensor G3 CPU, with 8GB of RAM in the Pixel 8 and an amazing 12GB in the 8 Pro, is expected to power the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. With up to 256GB of storage for the Pixel 8 and an astounding 1TB in the US for the 8 Pro, storage options are sure to impress.

-Fast charging capabilities, Qi wireless charging support, and IP68 ratings for dust and water resistance are anticipated for both Pixel 8 variants.

-Customers who purchase Google's new 5G premium phones will likely receive the most recent version of Android (version 14), and those who do so will be able to try out the Pixel 8 series.
