today we've got the full specs league for the pixel 8 and the pixel 8 Pro and with a Hands-On
leak of the phone so first story of the day we've got storage variants confirmed by Roland Quant of
win future and he advises that the pixelate pro is going to come in a choice of 128 256
or 512 storage then the pixel 8 comes with a choice of 128 or 256. we've also got the color
options revealed which are licorice peony and Haze for the pixel 8. then licorice porcelain
and sky for the pixelate pro now the exact shades are still unknown at the moment but there's also
news of a potential Jade color coming as well now next up we've got the full spec sheet lead thanks
to Abhishek yadav on Twitter and the notable changes are going to be the Samsung display
which can have a higher brightness of 1600 nits and unlike its predecessor we're also going to
get a flat display on the pro model we've also got an upgrade to the camera system with a 50
megapixel Samsung gn2 for the primary camera 64 megapixel Sony IMX 787 for the ultra wide then
Samsung's 48 megapixel gm5 for the telephoto and it's going to have five times optical zoom and
while there's a tiny downgraded to the battery capacity of 4950 milliamp hours we will have
improvements to the battery life thanks to the new chipset and we also see an improvement to
a 27 watt fast charge he also advises it will get Wi-Fi 7 up for improvements to speed latency and
reliability and of course we also get the new temperature sensor now for the standard pixel
8 we'll get displays produced by Samsung and Boe with 1400 nits of peak brightness we again get
the gn2 for the primary camera but there's no telephoto on the standard pixel 8. we then get
the 12 megapixel Sony IMX 386 for the ultra wide we also get a slight reduction in fast
charge speeds with 24 watt wired and 20 watt Wireless but we do also get Wi-Fi 7. he also
confirms that we're again looking at a launch in October for the pixelate in the pixel 8 Pro but
unfortunately we don't have the exact date just yet now we can confirms that we're looking at a
launch price of 650 to 700 for the standard pixel 8 while we don't have any information
on the pixelate pro we can use this to estimate that if the usual price cap remains we're going
to be looking at about 950 to a thousand dollars next up we've got news of a new feature that we
weren't expecting to see and that's going to be a new desktop mode to rival Samsung's decks an
inside source has revealed that both the pixel 8 and the pixel 8 Pro are going to support the USB
DisplayPort alternate mode and this allows you to connect the device to a display via USBC now
the source didn't give any information on what the specific use of the display mode was for but
Michelle Raman has spotted that Android 14 betas now have support for the USB alt mode and they
also introduced improvements to the desktop mode launcher in the code so it's looking very likely
that one of the new features in the pixel 8 series is going to be a new desktop mode
now next up we've got the Hands-On League of the pixelate pro thanks to a Reddit user who
posted the images before taking them down shortly afterwards you can see from the photos it's an
evaluation test model and the Reddit user didn't blank out enough of the information that confirmed
the source of the league so that's most likely why it was removed afterwards but unfortunately
many copies were already online now the pixelate pro looks exactly as we expect that's hardly a
surprise when we've already seen the official teaser for it but this does also confirm some
more of the specs on the front we got the fastboot screen which confirms that the code name Husky
for the pixel 8 Pro we've got 12 gigabytes of Samsung's ddr5 memory and this model has a 128 gig
storage at the back of the device it gives us a good look at the new camera module along with the
new temperature sensor so we're gonna be pretty sure that this is the pixel 8 Pro now of course
with the pixelate series both are going to take incredible photos thanks to the new primary camera
upgrade and we're hearing of new features like video and blur that's going to bring Improvement
to your older videos well it's probably not going to be worth upgrading from a pixel 7.
for those of you on older pixels or getting their first pixel then it's definitely going to be one
to consider though of course that the leaks are likely going to come flooding in now and I'll be
sharing them as soon as they do so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a thing in the future
