Display: 120 Hz and high brightness
The 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, which makes scrolling and animations appear smoother. LTPO technology allows the refresh rate to decrease depending on the content on screen, which can help save power.
The display supports HDR10+ and reaches up to 1,600 nits in high brightness mode (HBM) and up to 2,400 nits at peak brightness. Higher brightness helps with readability in sunlight, while HDR content can show pronounced differences between light and dark areas. The peak brightness figure does not mean the display can sustain that level across the entire screen.
Tensor G3, memory and storage
The phone is powered by the Google Tensor G3 chip, built on a 4 nm process. It has 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. RAM helps when switching between apps, while storage holds apps, photos and other files.
The chip and storage also play a role in processing photos and video and running games. Performance, power consumption and heat depend on the task and conditions of use.
The phone weighs 213 grams. Its weight and large display are worth considering if you plan to use it one-handed for extended periods.
Cameras: main, telephoto and ultrawide
The 50 MP main camera has an f/1.7 aperture, dual-pixel PDAF, multi-zone laser autofocus and optical image stabilization (OIS). Stabilization helps reduce the effect of hand shake, particularly in lower light.
The 48 MP telephoto camera has an f/2.8 aperture, 5x optical zoom and optical stabilization. It is useful for more distant details or portraits. Image quality depends on the light, scene and zoom level, so detail cannot be guaranteed in every situation.
The third, ultrawide camera has a 48 MP sensor, an f/2.0 aperture and a 126-degree field of view. It captures more of the scene, making it useful for architecture and wider shots.
Durability and charging
The IP68 rating indicates protection against dust and water under specified test conditions. It does not guarantee that the phone will survive every immersion without damage. Protection can deteriorate over time, and the conditions of contact with water also matter.
The Pixel 8 Pro supports 30 W wired and 23 W wireless charging. The power delivered depends on the charger and charging conditions. Reverse wireless charging lets the phone temporarily recharge compatible accessories, such as earbuds or watches, using its own battery.
Regional version
The Japanese version supports Wi-Fi 6E; this support is not listed as exclusive to the Japanese model. Camera behavior can also vary between regional versions: on the Japanese version, it may not be possible to turn off the shutter sound. If you are buying an imported device, check the features of the specific version.
