Overview

The Google Pixel 8 is one of the smartest phones on the planet, as it integrates AI more than almost any other handset.

This is most obvious with its camera, an impressive dual-lens system that offers powerful tools like Magic Eraser to remove unwanted people and objects from a scene, Magic Editor to move subjects around in a photo you’ve snapped, and Best Take which lets you combine multiple group shots to get the best possible combination of facial expressions.

The AI features don’t end with the camera though, as you can also use AI to do various other things, such as create custom wallpapers based on a prompt you provide.

These are largely things that you won’t find on other phones, and the Google Pixel 8 also has a superb 6.2-inch ‘Actua’ OLED display, offering 42% greater brightness than the Pixel 7’s screen.

The Pixel 8 has a brand-new chipset too, the Tensor G3, which powers these AI tricks and isn’t found in any non-Google phone.

It also has a stylish, distinctive design, a hefty battery for a phone of this size, and the promise of seven years of Android updates, which is longer than any other company promises, so this is a phone you won’t have to upgrade for ages.
