Google Pixel 8 Series: Everything We Know So Far

June 28, 2023

We’ve been poring through all the leaks and rumors, getting excited for Google’s next smartphone release: the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The safe bet is on a similar style with some impressive under-the-hood improvements (like a boosted chipset and a swanky “video unblur” feature).

We don’t expect Google to make an official announcement until October this year, but there’s already a lot we can glean from the leaks. Check out our top story to hear all about the latest Pixel 8 predictions.

Other Highlights:

• A year after shuttering Stadia, it looks like Google is moving back into gaming.
• SHOWTIME content joins Paramount+, though you may need to manually upgrade to get it.
• Roku breaks into live sports by streaming live Formula E races for free.
• … and more!
