Google’s Pixel 8 delivers solid performance and design upgrades, plus a focus on the future

Google’s Pixel 8 smartphone is shipping tomorrow, and while the update this year was leaked far in advance of even the official announcement, knowing what a phone looks like on paper is a very different thing from knowing what it’s like to use and own one. I’ve had both the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro (more on that one in Brian’s review) for a week now, I can say for certain Google has made an excellent entry-level flagship for the Android crowd.
For the first time in recent memory at least, Google has opted to actually reduce the screen size on one of its flagship devices when compared to last year’s model. The Pixel 8 has a 6.2-inch OLED, which is ever so slightly smaller than the Pixel 7’s 6.3-inc screen. It retains the same resolution at 1080 x 2400, which gives it a slight edge on pixel density, and it also comes in physically smaller at 5.9″ x 2.8″ x 0.4″ (it is a bit deeper though than the last gen) and 187 grams.
