Why the Google Pixel 8 is worth it
Google’s Pixel 8 (review) is not only a solid option for those who want a pure Android experience or a compact handset, but it is also an exceptional camera phone, which is true with many Pixel devices in the past. It takes photos and videos with well-preserved details and colors. The device also performs well in low light.
Apart from the top-class camera qualities, we also enjoy several AI features on it. There is a Best Take that lets you pick the best headshots of subjects and a new Magic Audio Editor to clean up audio from clips. More than these camera tricks, the Pixel 8 has an extended software support, ensuring major Android updates for up to 7 years.
The Pixel 8 itself features a much brighter 6.2-inch OLED display from the Pixel 7. Additionally, the panel is also bringing a refresh rate upgrade, resulting in smoother and more fluid animation when you’re gaming or regularly browsing the web.
Beneath the display are internals headlined by a Tensor G3 SoC, which offers a significant processing speed improvement. There is also a slightly larger battery capacity that can now last more than a full day in moderate usage pattern.
