It’s October aka “Techtober,” which means Google is releasing new Pixel devices. Starting October 12, Google’s Pixel lineup will include the new Pixel 8 and 8 Pro smartphones running Android 14, and the Pixel Watch 2 (more details below).

There are no big surprises on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. They build off the industrial design established by the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, with refined hardware details like rounder corners and a unified cutout for the three cameras in the Pixel 8 Pro.

Google’s thrown in a more powerful Tensor G3 chip. The cameras take better low-light photos and there are a handful of new AI-powered features like “Best Take” which combines the best parts of a series of photos into one really good picture, and manual controls (only on the Pixel 8 Pro). The Pixel 8 Pro also has an exclusive temperature sensor... for measuring how hot or cold objects are.

We’ve spent a few minutes with Google’s new phones and have some first impressions.
