More than one device has already been confirmed to debut at Google’s October 4 event: the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, as well as the Pixel Watch 2 smartwatch.
As for the new family of smartphones, the California-headquartered company says they will have the most advanced camera and artificial intelligence in the series. In terms of design, from what is shown in the official video released by Google, it seems that there won’t be many new features as it retains the same rear camera style in a module that mimics the viewfinder for the sensors and the button distribution on the right side.
Nothing more is known about its technical characteristics, but there has been no shortage of rumors. It has been revealed that the phones will feature a Tensor G3 processor which will give them the ability to be Wi-Fi 7 ready, an updated camera app and a significant number of seven rounds of software updates, although this is not clear. if this amount relates only to the operating system or security level.

As you can imagine, the Pro model has better specifications, especially when it comes to the camera. In addition to a 6.7-inch flat OLED screen (1344 x 2992 pixels) and up to 1600 nits of brightness, it will have improved autofocus and an ultra-wide-angle camera with better performance than its predecessor, the Pixel 7 Pro.

The company has also already presented a preview of its new smartwatches, which are very similar in design to their predecessors. “Sync it with your new Pixel phone for even more personalized help, security features, and health information,” the California-based company adds.
Reports indicate that the wearable device will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor, a slightly larger battery than the original Pixel Watch (one of the most criticized aspects), and a UWB chip. All this will allow the gadget to offer better performance, greater autonomy and, above all, accurate tracking of objects.
As for the price of the smartwatch, according to presenter Roland Quandt, it will cost £10 more than the first generation.
