Established in 1998, Google has transformed from a simple search engine into a technology powerhouse with diverse ventures. Among these ventures, the Pixel series of smartphones has gained a strong following over the years. However, the recent I/O 2023 developer conference left Pixel enthusiasts curious as Google refrained from revealing details about the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
Despite the lack of official information, the tech community has not been completely in the dark. Several leaks have surfaced regarding these devices, shedding light on certain features and generating increased excitement. A well-regarded tech journalist, Roland Quandt, recently brought attention to three potential storage configurations for the Pixel 8 Pro: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. This aligns with the offerings for the Pixel 7 Pro. However, prospective Pixel 8 buyers might have a choice limited to only the 128GB and 256GB variants.
In terms of competition, Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Plus offers storage options of 256GB and 512GB, while the base S23 model starts with an entry-level 128GB. This provides a comparative perspective on Google’s potential approach with the Pixel 8. Nonetheless, consumers will have choices that align with their specific needs and preferences.
A noteworthy aspect of the upcoming Pixel models is the revamped color range. Sources indicate that both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will be available in three colors: “Licorice,” “Peony,” and “Haze” for the Pixel 8, and “Licorice,” “Porcelain,” and “Sky” for the Pixel 8 Pro. While the exact shades remain a mystery, there is speculation about a potential fourth color, “Jade,” which currently remains veiled in uncertainty.
With October approaching, the anticipation for Google’s unveiling of the Pixel 8 series is palpable. Only then will all speculations be put to rest, providing eager audiences with the clarity they seek.
