Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are official, promising the usual design, camera and performance refinements we’ve come to expect from any annual phone update. But Google handsets are all about the software, and the Pixel 8’s suite of AI-powered image editing features are some of the most groundbreaking we’ve seen on a phone — in ways that range from useful to a bit eerie.
Wondering if this year’s Pixel devices are worth the upgrade? Here’s what we think after some early hands-on time with Google’s new phones.

OLED display at first appear more pronounced because of the flat sides, they're not symmetrical, and the "chin" at the bottom has been reduced.
Colors this year are as remarkably named as ever: Pixel 8 in hazel, rose and obsidian, Pixel 8 Pro decked out in bay (a great-looking blue finish), porcelain and obsidian.
Designs are gently updated versions of the 7 and 7 Pro, with a glossy back on Pixel 8, like last year’s phones, but with matte-finish glass on the new 8 Pro.
The displays have been improved in some, though not all respects. Even if the Pixel 8 is that bit smaller, it now offers a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and includes adaptive refresh rates. The Pro display is very high resolution, 489 pixels per inch, though, even so, this is slightly lower than on the Pixel 7 Pro. And while the Pixel 8 can go from 60Hz to 120Hz refresh rates, the 8 Pro goes from 1Hz to 120Hz.
the results were startling when I was shown a comparison clip alongside an iPhone 14 Pro. The Pixel 8 Pro’s video in similar low light was dramatically clearer, brighter, more colorful, and better stabilized. It’ll be exciting to see how this works, but it won’t be available at launch.
