As can be seen in the screenshot, the WPC certification confirms that the Google device with model number GKWS6 will debut in the market with the Pixel 8 marketing name. As per the listing, the Pixel 8 will not support the latest Qi2 wireless charging, but the older Qi wireless charging standard (version 1.2.4).

The listing reveals that the Pixel 8 will support 12W wireless charging, like the Pixel 7. As can be seen, the listing also has an image of the device, which looks quite similar to its predecessor.

So far, reports have revealed that the Pixel 8 will have a 6.16-inch OLED panel that will support a Full HD+ resolution of 2268 x 1080 pixels. On the other hand, the Pixel 8 Pro will have a 6.7-inch OLED panel with curved edges. The Pixel 8 duo will be powered by the Tensor G3 chip.

The Pixel 8 Pro is said to be equipped with a Samsung GN2 camera, which has a 1/1.12-inch sensor size and a 50-megapixel resolution. The Pro model is also said to be equipped with a built-in thermometer for measuring the temperature of the body and objects. The other details of the Pixel 8 series are under wraps.

In related news, the upcoming Pixel 8 series launch event is also expected to see the arrival of the Pixel Watch 2. A recent report revealed that with the inclusion of the Snapdragon W5 generation chip, it will offer better battery life and performance than its predecessor.
