Google is testing its upcoming flagship smartphones in the new 8 series the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Now, the display specifications of the phones have surfaced online by Android Authority, after the details about the Google Tensor G3 SoC, and the camera specifications.
It reveals that the Pixel 8 will get a smaller 6.1-inch 120Hz display than the 6.3-inch 90Hz screen in the Pixel 7, while the surprising change is the move from a curved to a flat screen in the Pixel 8 Pro, which is said to get the same 6.7-inch QHD+ screen, but 490 PPI pixel density, down from 512 due to the change in resolution.
It also reveals that the Pixel 8 Pro display refresh rate can go down to 5 Hz and 10 Hz in the Pixel 8, compared to 30 Hz in the Pixel 7 series. Google is said to upgrade display brightness from 1000 nits in the Pixel 7 series to 1400 nits and 1600 nits in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
Both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are expected to use a Samsung panel, and the Pixel 8 will also use a BOE panel. But there is no mention of using an OLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. We should know more details and the exact launch date of the phones in the coming weeks.
