Citing a Google insider as the source, the publication revealed that the Pixel 8 will pack a 4,480mAh battery and support 24W wired charging. In comparison, the Pixel 7 packs a smaller 4,270mAh battery with 20W wired charging.

The Pixel 8 Pro will arrive with a 4,950mAh battery and offer 27W wired charging. To recall, the predecessor model featured a 4,926mAh battery with 23W wired charging. Like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, their successors will continue to offer 20W and 23W wireless charging, respectively.

The report also reveals that with the inclusion of the Broadcom BCM4398 chip, the Pixel 8 series will support Wi-Fi 7. The new-generation Wi-Fi connectivity offers faster speeds, stability, and low latency. Furthermore, the ultra-wideband will be available on the Pixel 8 Pro, but the Pixel 8 will not receive it.

Google Pixel devices suffer from limited availability compared to other manufacturers, leading consumers to either buy them from unofficial sources at higher prices or import them without warranty or support. Nevertheless, there are indications that Google might broaden the distribution of Pixel devices.

The publication reported that by comparing the list of languages available on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7 in the electronic warranty terms, it can be speculated that the official distribution list for the Pixel 8 might expand to include a few more countries like Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and Portugal.

The report has no information on the launch date of the Pixel 8 series. In all likelihood, it may debut in October, like its previous Pixel phones.
