Google doesn’t leave much to the imagination when it comes to unreleased phones, and that’s mostly the case with the Pixel 8 Pro. Thanks to a flood of leaks, you’ve probably seen its updated camera bar, read all about the new AI photo features, and braced yourself for a $100 price hike that takes the starting price to $999. Even the 8 Pro’s built-in temperature sensor doesn’t come as a total surprise, despite being the biggest curveball addition to the line in years. It adopts a refined version of last year’s design, streamlining the camera cutouts into a single long oval, rounding out the corners, and otherwise sticking with a formula that’s recognisable and works. Google’s third-generation custom chipset, Tensor G3, is at the heart of the Pixel 8 Pro. It’s responsible for a lot of the new AI features on board, but Google doesn’t make any claims of better battery efficiency or heat management. On the exterior, the Pixel 8 Pro has a matte finish on the back glass panel, which will come in obsidian black, porcelain, and a light blue “bay.”
