Google Pixel 8 Pro at a Glance
Google Pixel 8 Pro is a Google phone that reached the market on 2023-10-12. It runs on the Google Tensor G3 with 12GB of RAM, and storage comes in 4 sizes (128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB). Our estimated street price sits between $899 and $1099, which puts it in the upper-premium bracket.
Display
The screen is listed as 6.7" LTPO OLED, 1-120Hz, 1344x2992. At 6.7 inches it is a large panel that favours video, reading and split-screen work over one-handed use. A 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, animations and gaming look clearly smoother than on a standard 60Hz screen.
Performance and Storage
Performance comes from the Google Tensor G3. 12GB of RAM leaves generous headroom for heavy multitasking and large games. Because there are several storage options (128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB), it is worth deciding how much you really need: photos, 4K video and downloaded games fill space quickly, and this phone's storage cannot be assumed to be expandable unless the spec says so.
Cameras
On the back, the camera setup is 50MP main + 48MP ultrawide + 48MP telephoto (5x), a 3-lens arrangement. Having more than two lenses usually means dedicated zoom or ultrawide options, so check which focal lengths you will actually use. The front camera is 10.5MP, which is the one that matters for selfies and video calls.
Battery and Charging
Battery life is described as 5050mAh. A 5050mAh cell is on the larger side for a modern phone. Charging is 30W wired, 23W wireless; a 30W wired rate is quicker than the slow 18-20W bricks older phones shipped with.
Software and Build
It ships with Android 14. The build is Aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, IP68. The IP68 rating describes dust and water resistance: the first digit covers dust, the second covers water, and neither guarantees protection from every kind of liquid or damage over time.
Who It Suits
At this price you are paying for the best hardware the brand offers, so judge it on camera quality, long-term software updates and resale value rather than on specs alone. Read the full Google Pixel 8 Pro verdict for how it behaves in real use.
