The Pixel 8 Pro features 12GB of RAM, a triple camera setup with 5x zoom and the Tensor G3 processor. On the other hand, the Pixel 8 lacks a periscope shooter and only features 8GB of RAM. Further, the high-end Pixel 8 Pro sports a 5,010mAh battery, while the Pixel 8 features a 4570mAh power source. This year, both handsets offer a 120Hz refresh rate display.
They also include a new feature called ‘Video Boost,’ which allows you to send your video to Google’s data centre. According to Google, you then get the clip back a couple of hours later with better lighting, HDR, and more.
