Pixel 8 Series Leaks Reveal Camera and Chipset Information
It’s anticipated that the design of the Pixel 8 series won’t see significant changes, following the visor-like camera module introduction in the Pixel 7 series. However, there’s a possibility of a shift from a curved display to a flat one for the Pixel 8 Pro, and the edges of the device might adopt a more rounded profile.
The upcoming Pixel smartphones are expected to feature the Tensor G3 chipset, which incorporates AI capabilities. Rumors suggest the integration of staggered HDR technology in the smartphone cameras, enabling the capture of both short and long exposure shots simultaneously.
For the Pixel 8 Pro, an upgrade to its ultrawide lens is speculated, potentially boosting it from 12MP in its predecessor to an impressive 64MP.
In terms of display sizes, the Pixel 8 is likely to come with a 6.2-inch display, while the Pixel 8 Pro could sport a larger 6.71-inch OLED screen with QHD resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Additionally, leaks hint at the possibility of Google unveiling the Pixel Watch 2 at the event. This second-generation Pixel Watch is rumored to feature enhanced battery life, an aluminum frame, and a novel real-time stress tracking feature.
