Google's Pixel 8 is a smaller 6.2-inch flagship with a bigger battery

After weeks of rumors and leaks, Google's Pixel 8 was officially revealed on Wednesday during the company's Made by Google event. The phone brings upgrades up and down the spec sheet, along with a design that's slightly more compact than before. The 6.2-inch screen is smaller than the display on last year's Pixel 7 (which in turn was smaller than the Pixel 6 before that). However, the newest Pixel has the same 1,080 x 2,400 screen resolution. Google's Actua OLED technology promises vivid color and details, at up to 1400 nits of brightness. That's 40 percent brighter than last year's Google flagship.
