Google Pixel 8 is an AI powerhouse! Check these 8 mindblowing features

In a big win for India, another tech major, after Apple, has agreed to manufacture their top-end smartphones locally here. Google had recently launched its new Pixel 8 series globally and it has been announced that the phone will be manufactured in India soon. This year, the smartphone comes with various new features and camera upgrades. This was revealed today during the Google event in Pragati Maidan, Delhi. Google also indicated that it was investing in India's manufacturing sector by building a plant to produce their latest Pixel smartphones.

Google for India 2023: The 9th edition of the annual Google India event came with a number of big announcements. Apart from announcing the impact of generative AI as a way to eliminate the roadblocks for digital users and entrepreneurs, and highlighting the new shopping experience on AI-led Search Generative Experience (SGE), Google also made a number of key announcements. It has now integrated Google Maps with ONDC and added new features for Indian farmers via Google Cloud. And most interestingly, the Google Pixel 8 series will be made in India. Let us take a look at the 10 big announcements made during the event. 

In an unexpected twist, Google has removed the restrictions it had allegedly placed on the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices. Now, users can freely install popular benchmarking apps like Geekbench and 3D Mark. This move, which initially baffled tech enthusiasts, was implemented during the review embargo period for the Pixel 8 series phones prior to their official release. The peculiar decision hindered them from conducting comprehensive tests on Google's claims about the Tensor G3 chip powering the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices, unless they were well-versed in manually sideloading the apps.

This is a camera upgrade. Full stop. If photos and video aren’t your primary concerns when it comes to buying a new smartphone, there’s virtually no reason to upgrade from the Pixel 7 Pro to the Pixel 8 Pro (check Darrell’s review to see if the same is true for the Pixel 8). The Pixel 8 Pro isn’t a bad phone; it’s more that Google has found itself in the same spot as the rest of the industry.

After months of anticipation, Google finally took the wraps off its latest flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8 series, at the Made by Google 2023 event on October 4. Both the phones, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have an enhanced focus on their artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. While Google already had several AI features in its suite of apps in the past such as Photo Unblur and Magic Editor, the new Pixel devices turn things up a notch with offerings that haven't been seen on any smartphone before.

We are days away from Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event, but if you're in need of a smartphone and can't wait until Oct. 10, we've got you covered.

Google has finally launched its new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones yesterday at the “Made by Google” launch event. The company also announced the Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Buds Pro, and the Android 14. While everyone is gushing about the new smartphone, Google has introduced a new temperature reading capability for the Pixel 8 Pro. There is a new amazing addition which acts as a thermometer and measures the temperature of a number of objects around you. Crazy, right? So, how can a smartphone measure temperature? Just check out the Google Pixel 8 Pro Thermometer app.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro is getting even better! Since its launch last year, Google has been adding more features and improvements. Today, they're introducing the biggest update yet, making the Pixel Buds Pro even smarter and more helpful. These earbuds are designed to work seamlessly with Google's Pixel devices and now come in two new colours, Bay and Porcelain, to match the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2.

Google today updated its smartphone lineup with the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro. They share many features, so you may be wondering which one is best for you. Full reviews are in the works, but until then—and before you place that preorder—let's walk through their differences.

Google's Pixel Watch 2 looks like a promising update to last year's excellent Pixel Watch. It's entering the market alongside another recent big-name wearable, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, which we awarded an excellent four-star rating to in August. We're in the process of testing the new Pixel Watch now, but let's see how the two smartwatches compare when it comes to design, features, price, and more.

It’s another year, which means another line-up of Pixel phones. Last year, I think Google really went conservative on the various phone features and released a phone that wasn’t willing – and rightfully so in my opinion – to compete with the biggest and best on the market. This year we are seeing a slight price increase on both phones, but also a host of brand new features. Let’s take a look at what Google is promising with the Google Pixel 8 and the Google Pixel 8 Pro!

In the Android vs. iOS wars, you're part of the Android faithful. So when the new iPhones came out last month, you held out for the release of the Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro.
