The Google Pixel 8 series has been crowned the “Best Smartphone” at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024. This prestigious award recognizes the phone’s innovative features and impressive overall performance. But what exactly makes the Pixel 8 stand out? Let’s take a closer look at its key specifications.

It will be interesting to see what Google does for the upcoming Pixel 9 series

The Pixel 8 retains the familiar design language of previous Pixel phones, but with slightly rounded corners and a smaller footprint. It features a 6.17-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,000 nits peak brightness, and HDR support. The phone packs a 50MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultrawide sensor, both capable of capturing stunning photos and videos. The Pixel 8 is powered by Google’s Tensor G3 chip, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. It boasts a 4,485mAh battery with support for fast charging and runs Android 14 out of the box.

The Pixel 8 Pro sports a more modern design with a larger 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display offering a higher resolution and brighter peak brightness compared to the Pixel 8. It also boasts a triple-camera system featuring a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The Pixel 8 Pro is powered by the same Tensor G3 chip but comes with 12GB of RAM and offers up to 1TB of storage (in the US). It packs a larger 5,050mAh battery but settles for slightly slower wired and wireless charging speeds compared to its smaller sibling.

Both phones share some key features, including the latest Tensor G3 chip, a promise of 7 years of software updates and security patches, and a Titan M2 security chip. It’s clear why Google’s latest flagships have been praised so much. The step up from the previous iterations is noticeable, and more so, huge. Now, all that remains is to see if Google can replicate, or even exceed its success with the Pixel 9 lineup this year.
