One of the defining characteristics of the Google Pixel 8 is its camera capabilities. Equipped with dual lenses – a 50MP primary lens and 12MP ultrawide lens -, its camera delivers stunning photos with stunning details and clarity, all captured precisely with multi-directional phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and laser autofocus technology for seamless moment capture. In addition, Pixel Shift UltraHDR Panorama mode and Pixel Shift allow users to unleash their creativity for stunning shots that stand out in every situation.

On its front side, the Pixel 8 boasts a 10.5MP selfie camera for taking stunning self-portraits and video calls. Thanks to features such as Auto-HDR and panorama mode, achieving professional-grade selfies has never been simpler!
Google Pixel 8 sports an OLED 6.2-inch display with 1080 x 2400 resolution and supports HDR10+ at 120Hz for smooth visuals that provide vibrant colors, perfect for gaming or multimedia consumption. Incorporating Corning Gorilla Glass Victus ensures durability against scratches or accidental drops, keeping this smartphone protected at all times.
The design of the Pixel 8 is sleek and modern, featuring glass front and back along with an aluminum frame to add strength. Furthermore, this device boasts IP68 dust/water resistance to withstand everyday splashes or spills without being affected.
Underneath its sleek exterior lies the Google Tensor G3 chipset – an innovative processor built to deliver outstanding performance. Equipped with a nona-core CPU consisting of Cortex-X3, Cortex-A715, and Cortex-A510 cores for flawless multitasking and quick app launches. Furthermore, Immortalis-G715s MC10 GPU ensures seamless graphics performance so you can enjoy games and multimedia without any lag or stutter.
