In line with a well-placed supply, the show is among the parts that is in line to get a major improve on the Google Pixel Eight and Pixel Eight Professional, in contrast with the Pixel 7 handsets that launched final 12 months.

This comes from the often dependable Kamila Wojciechowska at Android Authority, who says that the Pixel Eight might be upping its most refresh charge to 120Hz, up from 90Hz on the Pixel 7. The Pixel Eight Professional sticks at 120Hz just like the Pixel 7 Professional, however each telephones will supply a better vary of refresh charges general, which ought to enhance battery life.

Brightness will get a lift as properly. On the Pixel 8, the utmost HDR brightness will apparently be 1,400 nits, and that goes as much as 1,600 nits for the Pixel Eight Professional. On each the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Professional, the HDR brightness topped out at 1,000 nits.

Nonetheless, the shows might be getting smaller. The Pixel Eight display screen is reportedly shrinking down to six.17 inches from 6.three inches (whereas maintaining the identical 2400 x 1800 pixel decision), and the Pixel Eight Professional display screen is claimed to be 6.70 inches somewhat than 6.71 inches, with a 2992 x 1344 pixel decision (down from 3120 x 1440 pixels on the Google Pixel 7 Professional).

Curves or no curves

Do the maths on these dimensions and resolutions, and you may see that the pixels-per-inch on the Pixel Eight goes as much as 427 from 417, whereas the Pixel Eight Professional drops all the way down to 490 from 512. These are comparatively small variations that might be troublesome to identify.

A part of the explanation for these adjustments appears to be the brand new show panels that Google is sourcing for these telephones. Bigger nook radiuses are talked about (see earlier leaks), whereas the Pixel Eight Professional will swap from a display screen with curved edges to a completely flat one (just like the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 8, however in contrast to the Pixel 7 Professional).

We like what we have been listening to concerning the Google Pixel Eight telephones thus far, and a considerable increase within the show specs – when it comes to refresh charges and brightness at the very least – goes to offer potential patrons one more reason to choose one up.

We have already heard rumors concerning the increase in efficiency that the Pixel Eight telephones are going to deliver with them, and the superior digicam modules that the handsets might be fitted with. There would possibly even be a built-in thermometer. If Google sticks to its common schedule, we must always see a launch round about October time.
