The Google Store has dropped the official looks, features, and the iconic tech that is coming with its Pixel 8 series, with both the base and Pro versions. As Google said, these Pixel devices are "Coming in Hot," with the company dropping a massive unveiling to the world that centers on its new smartphone.

Like other base version smartphones in the world, Google's Pixel 8 would bring the dual-lens camera at its rear visor and would be the version where most of the pop colors would arrive, including the featured Rose Gold. On the other hand, the Pixel 8 Pro would stick with its traditional colors, with Gold unveiled by the company.

Alongside this announcement, Google introduced the accessory that would be joining the smartphone, with the Pixel Watch 2 marketed as the fitting accessory for the Pixel phone.

Should Google's Pixel 8 Be Your Next Phone?

Google has three major reasons for what the Pixel 8 series has to offer, with Google AI being its most important feature coming soon. The significant integration of Google AI to the Pixel will help in different aspects of the device, including photo editing, Live Translate, and more up for grabs.

The latest unveiling may only be a teaser as to what the Pixel 8 series would bring, but this is already a good time to start weighing in the pros and cons of owning the Google smartphone, powered by Android, over other models and makes.

Google's Pixel Devices

Towards the end of August, massive buzz surrounded the development of the Pixel 8 series primarily as Google made the clumsy mistake of leaking the device on the Google Store. It was believed by leakers who were quick to save receipts of the incident to be its marketing materials meant for the Pixel 8's unveiling, giving the world a glance at what it would look like.

However, one of the most intriguing here is how Google would only slightly improve its battery's capacity, as well as its charging rates which have been one of its massive claims to edge against the iPhone.

Google has made the Pixel devices the pinnacle of everything Android, being one of the top smartphones in the market since it was introduced by the company. With the company's official unveiling of the new Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2, users may get more information that they can use to help them decide if this new device should be their next buy.
