On-device algorithm

You must have been in that situation where you have the perfect group photo, but someone is not looking at the camera. Best Take uses the photos you did take to get the photo you thought you took. To make that happen, an on-device algorithm creates a blended image from a series of photos to get everyone’s best look.

Magic Editor

Magic Editor in Google Photos is a new experimental editing experience that uses generative AI to help you bring your photos in line with the essence of the moment you were trying to capture. You can reposition and resize subjects or use presets to make the background pop — all with just a few taps.

Audio Magic Eraser

Audio Magic Eraser lets you easily reduce distracting sounds in your video, like howling winds or noisy crowds. This first-of-its-kind computational audio capability uses advanced machine learning models to sort sounds into distinct layers so you can control their levels.

AI Technology on Google Pixel 8

Summarize

Pixel 8 has new features and capabilities that enable you to get more context and quickly dive deeper into a webpage. With Summarize, Pixel can generate a webpage summary so you can quickly understand the key points. Your Pixel can even read aloud and translate webpages for you so you can listen to articles on the go.

Voice Notes

Pixel is even better at understanding the nuances of human speech, so you can talk to it more naturally to get things done. If you take a pause or say “um,” it will wait until you’re done before responding. Use your voice to quickly type, edit and send messages, even if you speak multiple languages.

Call Screen Assistant

And with improved AI, Call Screen now helps you receive 50% fewer spam calls on average. To engage the caller, it will silently answer calls from unknown numbers with a more natural-sounding voice. It is also intelligent enough to separate the calls you want from those you do not wish to receive.

Soon, Call Screen will suggest contextual replies for you to tap to quickly respond to simple calls, like appointment confirmations, without having to answer the phone.

Smartphone Performance

Operating System

Google Pixel 8 runs on Android 14OS, which is the latest upgrade from Android 13 OS. It offers General Quality of Life (QoL) improvements. Google have it that Android 14 is more optimized for battery consumption, with lots of QoL improvements both in the UI and internally to ensure users have a smoother experience.

Android 14

Some of the top Android 14 features on Pixel 8 are:

  • More customization: you can now access more tools to customize your lock screen.
  • Notification Flashes: The new OS platform lets you turn on camera flashes and screen flashes for incoming notifications.
  • Better Hearing Aid Support:
  • Better support for large screens: Android 14 supports building apps that adapt gracefully to different screen sizes across smartphones, folding phones, and tablets.
  • Restricting Photo and Video Access: it adds an option to select the specific photos and videos it can access, similar to what Apple offers through iOS 14.
  • Enhanced Security: the most notable is the improved support for authentication with passkeys enabling biometric login instead of using passwords for more apps.
  • Protected PIN: You can now turn off the animations that appear when you enter your PIN to make it harder for people with ulterior motives to spy on your digits.
  • Better Data Protection: considering the increased data abuse by companies, Android 14 will send you monthly warnings when apps have changed their data-sharing habits and the possibilities of data breaches.

Processing Power Capabilities

Pixel 8 is powered by Google Tensor G3 (4 nm) chipset. The chipset is built on Samsung Foundry’s new 4nm (4LPP) process and will feature a nine-core CPU and a ten-core GPU. The Tensor G3 chip is faster than the G2, and it has new features that include better Call Screen functionality for weeding out spam calls.

CPU

  • Nona-core (1×3.0 GHz Cortex-X3 & 4×2.45 GHz Cortex-A715 & 4×2.15 GHz Cortex-A510)

The Tensor G3 packs a single Cortex-X3 clocked up to 3GHz, four Cortex-A715 that go up to 2.45GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores clocked up to 2.15GHz. Comparatively, the Tensor G2 has two Cortex-X1 cores, two Cortex-A78s, and four Cortex-A55s – a total of eight cores, one fewer than the G3. A more robust CPU means better performance in multi-tasking and handling intensive tasks more effectively.

GPU

  • Immortalis-G715s MC10

Pixel 8’s Tensor G3 uses ARM’s newest GPU design – ten Immortalis-G715s. The new hardware is capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing and, in combination with Samsung MFC (Multi-Format Codec) encoding and decoding 8K up to 30fps in both h.264 and HEVC format. Regarding videos and gaming, Immortalis-G715s MC10 is up to the task of the best user experience for high-setting video games.

Seven years of updates to keep you and your personal information secure
