The Google Pixel 8 5G 8GB/256GB Obsidian is the latest mid-range smartphone from the tech giant Google. It features a 6.2-inch OLED screen with a high resolution of 1080 x 2400 (FHD+) and a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz, plus a maximum brightness of 1400 cd/m² and a 1000000:1 contrast ratio for enhanced picture quality. Google also included HDR10+ support on the Pixel 8. Additionally, the device boasts stereo speakers and a noise-cancelling microphone for improved audio quality. As for its build, the Pixel 8 is made from an aluminum alloy chassis that is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, giving it an impressive usable surface of 86.7%.

Under the hood, the Google Pixel 8 is powered by the company’s own Tensor G3 processor, which is built on the 4nm process technology for optimal performance. The device is also equipped with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS storage, depending on the user’s preference. As for benchmark performance, the Pixel 8 scored 1105000 on AnTuTu v10. Security-wise, the device comes with a fingerprint scanner embedded into the display. Other features include an advanced cooling system and multiple wireless features, such as Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, WiFi 6 (802.11ax), and eSIM support.

In terms of photography, the Google Pixel 8 sports a dual-camera setup, consisting of a standard 50.0MP Samsung GNV camera with a large 1.2 pixel size and an f/1.69 aperture, plus a 12MP ultra-wide angle + macro lens with an f/2.2 aperture and 0.8 pixel size. For selfies, the device is fitted with a 10.5MP CMOS front-facing camera with an f/2.2 aperture and larger 1.2 pixel size. Both cameras are equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS). The Pixel 8 also supports 4K video recording.

In terms of battery, the Pixel 8 has a large 4575mAh capacity with 27W fast charging support. The device also supports wireless charging and reverse charging via the VPN by Google One app.

Overall, the Google Pixel 8 is a great mid-range smartphone with excellent cameras, beautiful display, and powerful processor. However, some users may find that the lack of a telephoto lens and lack of FM radio can be a setback. Additionally, the device’s 27W charging speed is a bit slow compared to other devices in the same range. The Google Pixel 8 Pro is the next model up in the series, offering faster charging speeds and a telephoto lens.
