Our take on the Google Pixel 8 (GKWS6) Unlocked

The Pixel 8 is Google's compact flagship phone, built around a 6.2-inch adaptive 120 Hz OLED screen and the Tensor G3 chip. It stands out for Google's AI photo tools, a clean Android 14 build and seven years of promised OS and security updates, which is longer than most rivals offer. The 50 MP main camera and 12 MP ultra-wide hold up well against pricier phones, though the 4575 mAh battery and Tensor G3 run warm and trail the longest-lasting competitors. It suits buyers who want top-tier photos and long software support in a phone that fits one hand.
