Pros

• Features a beautiful, completely flat 6.7-inch OLED display, finally abandoning the highly frustrating curved edges.
• Comes with an unprecedented, industry-leading promise of 7 full years of major Android OS updates and feature drops.
• Phenomenal camera system, with significant low-light improvements to the massive 5x optical telephoto lens.
• Introduced a built-in infrared temperature sensor, an incredibly unique (if slightly gimmicky) hardware feature.

Cons

• Suffered a noticeable base price increase over the highly competitive pricing of the older Pixel 7 Pro.
• The Tensor G3 chip still heavily trails far behind modern Snapdragon and Apple chips in raw gaming performance.
• Many highly touted 'Pro' AI features, like Video Boost, actually require the phone to be connected to the cloud to process.
• Thermal management and overall battery life remain highly inconsistent under heavy gaming or processing load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Pixel 8 Pro have a flat screen?

Yes! Google finally abandoned the highly controversial curved edges of past models, giving the Pixel 8 Pro a beautiful, completely flat 6.7-inch display.

How long will the Pixel 8 Pro get updates?

Google promised an incredible 7 full years of major Android OS upgrades, security patches, and feature drops, officially keeping the phone supported until 2030.

What does the temperature sensor do?

The Pixel 8 Pro features a unique built-in infrared temperature sensor next to the cameras, allowing you to instantly scan objects (and eventually humans) to check their exact temperature.

Is the Tensor G3 fast?

It is perfectly fast for daily UI tasks and AI features, but it still noticeably trails behind its Snapdragon and Apple competitors in raw graphical gaming performance and sustained heat management.

Do the AI features work offline?

While some definitely do, many of the most highly advertised 'Pro' features, such as Video Boost, actually strictly require the phone to upload the video to Google's cloud servers for processing.
