Google Pixel 8 vs. Samsung Galaxy S23: Android Flagships Battle It Out

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.

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.

Yesterday, October 4, the Google Pixel 8 series was unveiled at the Made by Google event. The latest flagship smartphones by Google witnessed a number of upgrades including the new Tensor G3 chipset, more powerful cameras, and improved displays. But one area where the Pixel phones really surprised everyone was the level of AI integration. The features were simply mindblowing! It is evident that Google spent a lot of time developing these AI capabilities for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Some of these features have never been seen on any smartphones, and as per the company, it can change the way people use their phones. Yes, smartphones have been changed forever! Features such as Call Assistant, Best Take, Magic Audio Eraser, and Assistant with Bard were the major highlights. Let us take a look at the amazing AI features on the Google 8 series.

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!

After months of anticipation, Google finally took the wraps off its Pixel 8 series at the Made by Google 2023 event on Wednesday, October 4. It is Google's latest entry into the smartphone race, and perhaps a late one, with the aim to offer the best smartphone in the market - a race that is joined by several competing brands such as Apple with its iPhone 15, and Samsung with its Galaxy S23 series.

With Apple and Samsung already launching their flagship devices earlier this year, all the eyes were on Google, and it has now unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8 series at the Made by Google 2023 event. The Pixel 8 is the lower-end version in the new flagship Pixel lineup which also includes the Pixel 8 Pro, and goes head to head against the base flagship smartphones in the market, such as Apple's iPhone 15 and Samsung's Galaxy S23. It falls under a similar price bracket as the new iPhone 15, therefore, comparisons will surely be made.

Today at the Made by Google event, the company launched its new devices which consisted of the Pixel 8 series smartphones, the Pixel Buds Pro, and the Pixel Watch 2. The new Pixel Watch 2 features a sleek design which was earlier released in a teaser by Google.
