Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are launching on October 4 and there’s literally nothing we don’t already know about the two phones. Earlier today even a full-fledged unboxing video of the Pro model emerged online. Ahead of the official release, the Pixel 8 Pro has now been spotted on Geekbench with the Tensor G3 chip and the benchmarking scores are not exactly impressive.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 posts better scores

Pixel 8 Pro was tested on Geekbench 6.2, posting a single-core score of 1,760, and a multi-core score of 4,442. These are not bad numbers in general, but if you take the competition into account, the scores are not very good either. For reference, the OnePlus 11 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 gets 1707 points in single-core and 4892 points in the multi-core test of Geekbench 6.

However, the scores of Tensor G3 are much better than Tensor G2, hinting at a significant performance improvement. The G3 will be powering both the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro this year. The two phones will compete with Apple’s current lineup and the Galaxy S24 series launching early next year.

We know that the Pixel 8 Pro will get a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display that offers QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device could come with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. It is expected to get a triple camera setup on the rear with a 50MP primary sensor, a 64MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 48MP telephoto shooter. According to a recent leak, the Pixel 8 Pro will start at $999 in the US.
