Google is seemingly playing it safe with the next-gen
New leaks have surfaced revealing what may be the specs for Google’s upcoming flagship smartphone; the Pixel 8 Pro.
This information comes from industry insider Yogesh Brar on Twitter. According to Brar, the device will sport a 6.7-inch Quad HD Plus LTPO (low-temperature Polycrystalline oxide) OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The triple camera system will consist of a 50MP main lens, 64MP ultra-wide, and a 48MP telephoto option for up-close photography. The main camera will also have OIS (optical image stabilization) for keeping the imagery steady and sharp. The selfie camera is set to host an 11MP lens. Powering everything is a 4,950mAh battery supporting fast charging up to 27W.
The internal hardware is rather interesting. Under the hood, the Pixel 8 Pro will reportedly run on the Google Tensor G3 SoC (system on a chip) alongside a Titan chip to protect sensitive information. The RAM is capped at 12GB. There will be two storage options at launch: 128GB and 256GB. The screen is said to host an ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
There’s even a mention of a temperature sensor adding further validity to a leak from May which stated the Pixel 8 Pro will have a built-in thermometer below the rear camera.
