Google Pixel 8 launch event: How to watch & what to expect

Google will announce its next-generation Pixel 8 series smartphones along with a few accessories on October 4.

Google is all set to unveil its next-generation smartphones on October 4. At the Made By Google event, the company will introduce the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel Watch 2, and the next-generation Pixel Buds Pro.

The Pixel 8 series launch event will kickstart at 7:30 PM IST and will be livestreamed on YouTube and major social media platforms. Besides the new hardware devices, Google is also speculated to make Android 14 official at the event.

The Pixel 8 series will be the third-generation smartphone from Google to feature an in-house Tensor chip, designed in collaboration with Samsung. According to reports, the Tensor G3 powering the Pixel 8 series will offer a unique 9-core CPU design with four efficient or little cores, four big cores, and a single high-performance core based on the latest ARM Cortex X3 architecture with a peak clock speed of 3GHz.

Just like its predecessors, the Pixel 8 series will have an array of exclusive software capabilities, driven by the new NPU on the Tensor G3. All nine CPU cores on the Tensor G3 will be based on the latest ARMv9 2022 architecture, which could make the Pixel 8 series of smartphones the first set of Android phones that do not support 32-bit apps.

In terms of design, the Pixel 8 looks fairly similar to the Pixel 7. However, the more expensive Pixel 8 Pro seems to include a new camera island that possibly packs three cameras with different focal lengths. The Pixel Watch 2, on the other hand, also looks similar to the original Pixel Watch. However, this time around, the same will be officially available in India.

The Pixel 8 series, Pixel Watch 2, and the new Pixel Buds Pro will soon be available for pre-order on Flipkart.
