Google Pixel 8 Pro review
The Pixel 8 Pro might not be quite the high-end bargain of its predecessors, but it still offers more bang for your buck than rivals. The screen, body, performance and battery life are all good. The Pixel has a distinctive look that elevates it from the many of the competition, too.- Pros: seven years of software updates, great camera with 5 and 10x optical zoom, great screen, decent battery life, recycled aluminium, impressive local and generative AI features, undercuts rivals on price.
- Cons: bump in price, face unlock option not as secure as Face ID, battery life and raw performance short of best-in-class, temperature sensor is a gimmick for now.

Google Pixel 8 Pro Review: Work-in-Progress Investment
The Google Pixel 8 Pro was officially unveiled together with the Google Pixel 8 and the Pixel Watch 2 on October 4. The flagship smartphone comes with a Tensor G3 chip, temperature sensor, redesigned triple camera, and probably the longest update warranty from Google to date.- A smartphone camera at its best, Merciless update promise, Better haptics than the predecessor, Sufficient everyday performance, Great AI functions, 1-120 Hz display
- G3 is not a flagship processor, Price hike, No charger included, Some promised features are still missing

Google's Pixel 8 Phones Push the Boundaries of Software Wizardry
These pricier Pixels impress with refined hardware and clever software tricks.- Fun, helpful image editing features. Ever-increasing number of smart software perks. Good performance. Bright displays. Great cameras (especially on the Pro). Secure Face Unlock is back. Seven years of support includes software and parts.
- Face Unlock doesn't work well in the dark. No DisplayPort over USB-C support. Battery life is nothing to write home about.
Google Pixel 8 Pro review
The Google Pixel 8 Pro is the best Pixel that Google has ever made, and it represents Google’s vision for the future of mobile technology, though that vision does seem a bit clouded and unfocused at times.- Great materials and matte finish refresh the Pixel design, Call screening is natural and very useful, Incredible seven-year commitment from Google for major updates
- Android settings and features are confusing and hard to find, Some AI features feel a bit creepy and impersonal, Cameras don’t beat the iPhone 15 Pro without editing help

Smartphone launches always focus on the camera, and Pixel has always been there as one of the best. But in the Pixel 8 Pro, we're talking about something else. We're talking about progression beyond photography and into creativity I've never experienced.- Outstanding imaging offering, 7-year commitment to software updates, Wonderful display
- Battery life is nothing special, Android 14 isn't hugely different ... yet
