If you're a fan of compact phones, the Pixel 8 is perfect for you, thanks to its 6.2-inch display that's easy to operate with one hand. Speaking of that display, it's one of the things we singled out in our Pixel 8 review, as it's extremely bright and it offers a fast 120Hz refresh rate. Best of all, you also get the AI-powered features made possible by Google's Tensor G3 chip.
Meanwhile, the 6.7-inch Pixel 8 Pro is one of the best Android phones you can get. Beside the larger screen, the Pro model also adds a telephoto camera to the mix. In our Pixel 8 Pro review, we said everything about the cameras on the Pixel 8 Pro are better, with Google claiming improved low light photography, sharper selfies, and its best zoom yet. Compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, we also like how the Pixel 8 Pro image has a higher contrast.
While you could wait for the release of the Pixel 8a, we doubt that lower-cost midrange phone have that big of an impact on Pixel 8 pricing. For a look at the Pixel 8a's potential hardware, check our our Pixel 8a vs Pixel 8 comparison.
