On October 4, Google is set to unveil its Pixel 8 duo. We’re already familiar with the phone’s design, and reports have indicated a potential price increase in Continental Europe. Today, information about the expected prices in the United Kingdom and the United States has surfaced online, along with some key specifications for the two phones.
The Pixel 8 is anticipated to start at £699/$699 and will come equipped with 8 GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 Pro is rumored to be priced at £999 in the UK, but only $899 in the US, featuring a new LTPO OLED screen. As for the Pixel Watch 2, it is expected to be priced at £349.
The standard Pixel 8 appears to offer a modest improvement over its predecessor while retaining the same camera setup. The most significant upgrade is likely to come from the Tensor G3 chipset, which promises enhanced processing power. Additionally, both smartphones will feature an updated sensor for the front-facing camera.
In the case of the Pixel 8 Pro, there’s a new 48 MP ultrawide camera, replacing the 12 MP sensor found in the Pixel 7 Pro; however, this 12 MP sensor will still be present in the non-Pro version. The standout color choice for the Pixel 8 Pro is expected to be Blue, as seen in several promotional materials, and this time, the third camera will be integrated into the oval design alongside the other two cameras.
