Compare Google Pixel 8 vs Google Pixel 8 Pro

The Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro were released in October 2023. As its name suggests, the Google Pixel 8 Pro has a higher specification than the Google Pixel 8. For example, the 8 Pro has a larger and higher-quality screen, boasting a 6.7-inch Super Actua display with a maximum of 2,400 nits compared to the 6.2-inch Actua display of the 8 with only 2,000 nits¹. The 8 Pro's bigger and brighter display means it's more suited to activities such as gaming and streaming, as you'll be able to see the screen more clearly even when it's sunny. Additionally, the Google Pixel 8 Pro's rear camera system is more advanced because it includes an additional telephoto lens that's not included with the Pixel 8.

However, both phones share the same processor - the Google Tensor G3 - and include the same security features, such as Titan M2 chip and security core, fingerprint and face unlock, and VPN by Google One². According to Google, both models have a 24+ hour battery life, despite the fact that the Google Pixel 8 Pro has a 5,050 mAh battery and the Google Pixel 9 has a 4,575 mAh battery³.

Overall, if you're after a phone with great security features and a decent battery life, the Google Pixel 8 is a good choice. But if you're looking for more advanced features, or if you often use your phone for gaming and streaming, then the Google Pixel 8 Pro might be better suited to your needs.
