﻿>>RICK OSTERLOH: Pixel has been the first phone to deliver so
many innovations, thanks to the tight integration with Google's
AI research.
The first phone to truly see in the dark.
The first phone to answer the phone for you.
The first phone to unblur your photos.
The first phone with car crash detection.
The first phone to protect your browsing with a built-in VPN at
no extra cost.
And we have a whole new set of firsts to show you today.
I'm excited to introduce you to the next evolution of AI in your
hand. Google Pixel 8 Pro and Google
Pixel 8. [Cheers and Applause].
Our latest phones bring together so many technologies from across
Google. They're the first phones to use
our latest Google Tensor chip, and they include the very best
Android experience, first of their kind camera experiences,
and the latest AI advancements from Google.
From the inside out, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are built to deliver the help
you need in a way that only Google can. And as you can see, they're
absolutely stunning. Here's Claude to take you
through all of the gorgeous design details.
[Applause]. >>CLAUDE ZELLWEGER:
Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are the most
beautiful phones we've ever made.
They're the centerpiece of Google's growing Pixel
portfolio, and you can see how well they're complemented by the
rest of the family. Every Pixel device, from the
phone in your hands, to the watch on your wrist, to the buds
in your ear, and to the tablet in your home, is designed to fit
into your life seamlessly, to provide a helpful fluid experience,
and to reflect the human, optimistic and daring design that Pixel is used for.
Instead of angular corners and edges, Pixel devices replicate
that calming feeling of picking up a smooth piece of sea glass.
Pixel 8 is an evolution of the iconic Pixel design, with more
fluid contours, and a smaller size that feels so natural
to hold.
Pixel 8 Pro introduces new, considered design elements into the portfolio.
We're using a soft, silky, matte glass finish to contrast with the high-polished camera bar and
highlight our powerful new camera system. And we bring that same
thoughtfulness to Pixel's color palette, which continues to
evolve with natural and inviting hues.
Our Porcelain shade on Pixel 8 Pro is accented by a soft, gold
trim, for a luxurious ceramic look.
And our new Bay blue color is both energetic and hopeful.
We're even updating Pixel Buds Pro today with new colors to go
with our new phones, including Bay blue and Porcelain.
As a company, we know that device manufacturing carries a
heavy responsibility, and we take that responsibility
seriously. We continue to design all of our
products with sustainability in mind, from the very beginning.
We're working towards Google's commitment of net zero emissions
by 2030, by reimagining the materials that go into our
products, how we manufacture and how we distribute them.
And that's why we're now on our fourth generation of Pixel phones that use recycled aluminum.
In fact, every device you see today uses repurposed materials,
from the 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosures on Pixel
phones, to our fabric watch bands.
And Pixel 8 packaging is completely free of plastic.
Another aspect of sustainability is longevity.
Accidents happen, and we're working to make Pixel phones easier to repair.
We've partnered with iFixit to offer parts, tools and repair
guides directly to DIYers so that it's easier than ever to
repair your own display, your battery or your camera.
Now, one of the most important design elements on Pixel 8's design
is the surface that you look at the most, the display.
Your phone should show you the world in the way that it
actually appears in real life. So we've been working on a new
display offering, which we're calling the Actua display.
You'll see it for the first time on Pixel 8.
The 6.2-inch Actua display on Pixel 8 is 42 percent brighter
than on Pixel 7, and it gives you ultra, real-world clarity
for your videos, your games, your photos and everything else
that you do on your phone. And Pixel 8 pro takes a
real-world display technology to the next level with our new super Actua display.
The 6.7 inch display is even more immersive, and it's our
brightest display yet, with a stunning peak brightness of 2400
nits and a variable refresh rate that intelligently adjusts from
1 to 120 hertz. Even in direct sunlight, you'll
love how true to life your ultra HDR images look.
On the back of Pixel 8 Pro, you can see that we've added a new
temperature sensor. It's a convenient and quick way
to check the temp on a pan or to make sure that the milk in your
baby's bottle is just the right temperature.
We've submitted an application to the FDA so that you can also
use our thermometer app to take your own temperature, which can
be saved to the Fitbit app in the future.
Along with beautiful updates to the body, the display, the
finishes, materials and colors, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are
getting some big upgrades on the inside.
