Google made the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro official today. The $699 Pixel 8 and $999 Pixel 8 Pro are powered by the new Tensor G3 SoC and bring updated cameras and displays. What’s not changed much is the design, which keeps the camera bar and rounded edges of the Pixel 7 range. That’s fine, although you’ll want a case so it sits on the table better.
