Despite still being some months away from when we expect Google to unveil its newest flagship smartphones, news of the Pixel 8 Pro's core hardware specifications has leaked. While it's pretty much as we might expect, the fact that Google still won't give Pixel fans a decently fast charging experience is a disappointment – no matter how many times the search giant claims that 27W charging is ‘fast'.
The leaked specs list comes courtesy of Yogesh Brar on Twitter, confirming the presence of Google's new Tensor G3 processor and a temperature sensor. According to the leakster, we can expect the Pixel 8 series to launch sometime during October.
Pixel 8 Pro
- 6.7″ QHD+ LTPO OLED, 120Hz Refresh Rate
- Google Tensor G3 + Titan Security chip
- 12GB RAM
- 128/256GB storage (non-expandable)
- Camera: 50MP (OIS) + 64MP Ultra-wide + 48MP (Telephoto)
- Selfie: 11MP
- Temperature sensor, Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor
- Android 14
- 4,950mAh battery, 27W wired charging
It all looks very predicatable, including the stupendously slow charging rate of 27W which Google will no doubt have the audacity to claim is ‘fast'. Besides the tiny bump in charging speeds, the Pixel 8 Pro is shaping up nicely although I have to admit I'd much prefer Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip under the hood instead of the Tensor G3 which is still based on an old Exynos design.
What are your thoughts on the Pixel 8 Pro so far?
