Google Pixel 8 Release Date: What We Know So Far?

Google Pixel 8 Release Date: In what month will Google’s Pixel 8 be available for purchase? Take a look below for the most accurate forecast of when Google Pixel 8 will be made available, based on the most recent rumors and information.

As one of the most anticipated Android devices, the Google Pixel usually debuts once a year. Google releases new Pixel smartphones and cameras every year with the goal of improving upon the previous year’s offerings. In spite of the fact that the Google Pixel 7 series was only released a few months ago, rumors about the next Google Pixel 8 are already making the rounds.

As the Google Pixel 7 has been so successful, this comes as no surprise. There has been no official word from Google about when the Pixel 8 will be available. According to Google’s regular release schedule, though, this won’t happen until October.

Google Pixel Release Date History

Since Google is largely a software corporation and not a hardware one, it is not surprising that the company has a relatively small proportion of the smartphone industry. However, ever since the first Pixel was released in 2016, the firm has been striving to diversify deeper into this field. Most recently, the Google Tensor chipset was unveiled with the Pixel 6 series, followed by the Pixel 7 series.

Google Pixel 7 smartphones have only recently become available, and the Pixel 8 lineup hasn’t been confirmed by the corporation. However, the release dates of prior Google Pixels can give us a sense of Google’s release timetable.

• Google Pixel & Pixel XL Release Date: October 2016
• Google Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL Release Date: October 2017
• Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL Release Date: October 2018
• Google Pixel 4 & Pixel 4 XL Release Date: October 2019
• Google Pixel 5 Release Date: October 2020
• Google Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro Release Date: October 2021
• Google Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro Release Date: October 2022

What is the price of the Google Pixel?

Again, Google has not yet provided any information regarding the possible prices that would be associated with the series-8 devices. Naturally, we may use the previous models as a benchmark for how much money you’ll need to set aside. They were arranged as follows:

• Google Pixel 7: $599/£599
• Google Pixel 7 Pro: $899/£849
• Google Pixel 6: $599/£599
• Google Pixel 6 Pro: $899/£849

This demonstrates how rigid Google’s price policies have been. If that persists in 2023, which we believe is likely to happen, the Pixel 8 should cost $599/£599, and the Pixel 8 Pro $899/£849.

What about the characteristics and attributes of the Pixel 8?

There isn’t much information available about new parts, designs, or features of the Pixel 8 because its debut is so far off. However, there are various rumors, with the major one concentrating on the chipsets that will be utilized in the forthcoming models.

The third version of Google’s Tensor chipset is already far into development, according to the Dutch website GalaxyClub, so it should debut alongside the Pixel 8 device. Samsung will once again be the producer, and test boards have already begun to display chips with the code S5P9865, claims the website. This uses the same naming scheme as the Tensor 1 and Tensor 2 processors, which have the model numbers S5P9845 and S5P9855, respectively. There is hope that the third iteration of the Tensor, which is expected to launch soon, will push things even further given that the Tensor 2 found in the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro has already been shown to be more powerful and energy-efficient than the previous generation.

Nvidia Eliminates Gamestream From Shield Devices

WinFuture has dug into what it refers to as “publicly available code sources” and discovered additional specific information about the two phones. The website discovered two phone code names: “Shiba” and “Husky.” It seems likely that this alludes to the Pixel 8 smartphones because Google has previously utilized animal names for its Pixel flagships, such as Cheetah and Panther for the Pixel 7 series.

The code indicates that the next-generation Pixels will be powered by a chipset called “Zuma,” which uses the same modem as the Tensor 2. No surprise, both phones run Android 14 as well.

Surprisingly, both phones have 12GB of RAM, and the Husky’s display resolution is higher at 2822 x 1344 than Shiba’s 2268 x 1080, indicating that Husky is the Pro model.

These specifications are unlikely to be finalized given how far away the launch is, and it’s equally plausible that these two devices were created for internal testing and do not at all represent the final Pixel 8 specs. Nevertheless, they at least give us an idea as to what to anticipate.

In areas where 5G is hesitant to go, Apple’s new iPhone 14 line of smartphones now enables satellite communications for calls. Google SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer suggested in a tweet that the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro might get the same feature.

Wild to think about user experiences for phones that can connect to satellites. When we launched G1 in '08 it was a stretch to get 3G + Wifi working. Now we're designing for satellites. Cool! Excited to support our partners in enabling all of this in the next version of Android!

With Android 14’s release, it’s likely that Google’s Pixel 8 devices will be able to compete head-to-head with Apple’s iPhones, as Google is known for incorporating the latest Android features into its phones and being the first to receive the updates.

Google Pixel 8 Series Specifications

Upon release, these handsets are predicted to share very similar specifications to their predecessors. Therefore, the Pixel 8 Pro will have a 120Hz curved AMOLED 1440P display, while the Pixel 8 will have a 90Hz 1080P flat panel. We anticipate the same camera setup, with the Pixel 8 either adopting last year’s improved ultra wide-angle lens or maintaining this year’s model.

Apparently, Samsung has been developing a new chipset, the Exynos 2300, which is an ARM SOC from the Samsung foundry. The Tensor G3 (Zuma) is probably a tweaked version of the Exynos 2300 with some of Google’s magic dust for artificial intelligence and machine learning put in there for optimal performance. In addition, Android 14 will be included (Upside Down Cake).

The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will use a next-generation Tensor chip, but other specifications are unknown at this time.

What We’d Like to See Revised and Improved

Both the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro are outstanding smartphones. The old adage goes, however, that nothing is faultless. There’s always an opportunity for development, so in the context of Google’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, here are some features we want to see in 2023:

Increased Efficiency

With its second iteration, Google’s Tensor CPU has significantly increased in power over its predecessor. With Tensor, Google has placed a significant wager on artificial intelligence and machine learning; this wager has paid off handsomely, as the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are the most intelligent smartphones now available.

The Top Ten Benefits of Android

Despite their superior machine learning capabilities and other smart features, however, both phones still fall short of the iPhone and the most recent Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm.

Personally, I hope that Google’s third-generation Tensor CPU can close the gap in performance to that of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. I’m hoping that by 2023, Google will have made significant improvements to Tensor’s core performance, given that it has the means to do so.

The features we want to see in Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 are:

The class of 2022 has been impressive, but there are several areas for improvement that we hope Google will address in future updates.

All variants include a 120-hertz refresh rate.

In today’s era, this is a simple matter. It makes sense for both the Pro and regular Pixel 8 to have a 120Hz refresh rate, as many mid-range Android phones already have. We hope the 90Hz rate of the Pixel 7 is carried over to the successor since it is available on the Pixel Pro 7 and Pixel Pro 6.

Enhanced charging times

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro’s poor charging times were the primary criticism in our reviews. The Pixels look sluggish next to smartphones that can charge from zero to full in under an hour. As a result, we hope to see an improvement in this area with the Pixel 8 devices from Google.

Face recognition has been upgraded.

We were really thrilled by the Pixel 7 Pro’s innovative facial recognition to unlock feature, but the Pixel 7 might use a little more time in the oven. With a full year between iterations, here’s hoping the Pixel 8 does better than its predecessor.

Get in shape!

Ok. We’re not trying to make fun of the Pixel 7 Pro’s size, but at 162.9 x 76.6 x 8.9mm and 212 grams, it’s hard to ignore the fact that it has some serious girth. Maybe it’s our thyroids, but we’d really want to see a slimmer design for the Pixel 8 Pro. It’s true that most powerful phones these days are fairly hefty, but we can only hope for sleeker and more compact designs by 2023.

When was the Pixel 8 released?

More specificity is difficult because the dates in October have shifted, but the Pixel 8 is anticipated to be unveiled in early or mid-October 2023, and then ship in mid or late-October, possibly a week following the announcement.

Is a Pixel 8 on the horizon?

The Pixel 8 Pro is expected to include a 6.7-inch LTPS AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. However, there is no agreement on screen resolution, with some reports claiming a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 1440 x 3120 resolution, while others offer 2822 x 1344.

What went wrong with Google Pixel?

Google is thought to have failed to sell Pixel devices in India because of the Soli Radar chip on the front, which used the 60GHz frequency range, which is prohibited for commercial usage in India.
