Google Pixel 8 - Overview

In complete contrast to the humble evolution of the Pixel 6 to the Pixel 7 series, the introduction of the Pixel 8 series is characterised by several innovative features and enhanced hardware. One significant alteration in the standard Pixel 8 for the current year lies in its dimensions.

Additional design modifications have further contributed to a decrease in weight and overall dimensions.

At the core of the latest Pixel 8 series is the cutting-edge 4nm Google Tensor G3 chipset, manufactured by Samsung. This chipset comes with superior efficiency and heightened performance in comparison to its forerunners. Notably, while addressing some past complaints, it is anticipated to generate significantly less heat too. Accompanying the chip is Google's Titan M2 security chip and an enhanced Neural Processing Unit (NPU), responsible for executing AI-related tasks.
