Verdict
The Google Pixel 8 Pro looks more polished than its predecessor, brings a bright and rich display, and tons of AI camera features that are yet to drop. But beyond everything else, Google promises a whopping 7 years of software updates. This essentially means the phone will stay relevant until 2030, but its performance might not hold up well until then due to an underwhelming Tensor G3 chipset.
Pros
- 7 years of OS updates
- AI camera features
- Polished design
Cons
- Performance throttling issues
- Slow charging
- Expensive
Design and display
+
The Google Pixel 8 Pro looks like the Pixel 7 Pro from a distance, especially looking at the back. But Google has improved the finishing in a few areas to make the Pixel 8 Pro look and feel more premium and comfortable to hold. Firstly, the glossy rear panel has changed to a soft-touch matte finish that feels nice to touch and won't attract smudges. Next, the corners are rounded so it doesn't look as boxy and share as its predecessor. The rear camera visor now has a single oval-shaped cutout to house all three camera sensors, which makes it look cleaner.

The Google Pixel 8 Pro comes with a new set of camera sensors housed in the visor on the back. There's a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.68 aperture, a 48MP telephoto camera that's capable of 5x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide camera with autofocus. The primary and telephoto cameras support OIS and EIS. At the front, you get a 10.5MP camera to take of selfies and video calls.

A brand new Tensor G3 chipset powers the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. If you were thinking Google's latest processor is a significant improvement over the Tensor G2 and can finally take on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, you'd be mistaken. The Pixel 8 Pro's benchmark scores are quite average. The device scored 1727 in single-core and 3433 in multi-core on Geekbench and around 845,000 on AnTuTu. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold5 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor scored 1968 and 5137, respectively, on Geekbench and 1,492,136 on AnTuTu. Even last year's iPhone 14 Plus with the A15 Bionic chipset scored higher, scoring 4689 in multi-core on Geekbench and 854,000 on AnTuTu.

Battery

The Pixel 8 Pro ships with a 5,050mAh battery which is about the same that you get in its predecessor. The battery is good to last you through a full day on moderate usage. Despite an LTPO display and a power-efficient chipset, the Pixel 8 Pro will still ask you to reach for a charger by the end of the day or, at best, in the morning before you head out to work. in our PCMark battery test, the Pixel 8 Pro lasted around 13.5 hours, which isn't bad but it's not great either.
