TL;DR
- Prices of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have leaked.
- The standard model will likely be $100 more expensive than its predecessor.
- The Pro versions is expected to cost the same as before.
Google has apparently slipped up and let out information about the Pixel 8 series prices. Over the weekend, frequent Android Authority contributor and tipster Kamila Wojciechowska posted a comparison table between the Pixel 7 series and Pixel 8 series on X, formerly Twitter. The image looks like it was lifted from Google’s promotional material for the upcoming Pixel 8 series. It even bears the Google logo and “Pixel for Business” branding, making it seem pretty official. The best part is the image reveals the price of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
There’s good news for those of you looking forward to the new Pro Pixel. If the leak is accurate, the Pixel 8 Pro will cost the same as its predecessors and come in at $899 with all its upgrades and improvements. This is presumable the price for the 128GB storage model of the phone. The leak reveals the base RAM for the $899 Pixel 8 Pro will remain unchanged at 12GB.
If you were hoping to pick up Google’s latest flagship at a starting price of $599, you would be disappointed. The standard Pixel 8 will now cost $699 for the base model with 8GB of RAM. That’s a whole $100 more than the Pixel 7 from last year. Once again, you might be stuck with 128GB of base storage for the vanilla Pixel despite the price hike.
Pixel 8 series: More camera details revealed
Other details revealed by the leak include details about the display, camera, and security features of the Pixel 8 series. As previously revealed, the back of the Pixel 8 should house a 50MP wide-angle camera paired with a 12MP ultrawide shooter capable of macro shots. A 10.5MP sensor is expected to handle selfies. Our exclusive camera leak from before revealed that the biggest change compared to the Pixel 7’s camera setup is the jump from the Isocell GN1 primary camera to the newer Isocell GN2 sensor.
The Pixel 8 Pro also gets the same 50MP GN2 primary shooter in addition to a 48MP ultrawide camera and another 48MP 5x telephoto shooter. It was previously rumored that the Pixel 8 Pro would get a 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor for its ultrawide camera, but this latest leak tells a different story. Meanwhile, the Pro flagship is also expected to share the same 10.5MP selfie shooter as its non-pro sibling.
Buyers should also get VPN by Google One at no extra cost with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, which is unsurprising since the Pixel 7 series offered the same.
