Once again, Google hinges all its bets on camera performance and AI over any significant hardware improvements.

have improved in style and design and probably in performance, too . But where’s the flair? The feature you can’t live without? And I’m still waiting for someone in Android land to announcePixel 8 Pro

for less than an hour, so I can’t speak to how much more “worth it” they are until I can put them through their paces. I want to believe the telephoto capabilities have improved and are better than theoffers. The Pixel 8 Pro is also capable of 5x optical zoom, and this year, it’s bumped up to 30x for digital zoom. I’m also hoping that the Pixel 8 is a better deal than what I got with the Pixel 7 last year—six months in, I realized it wasn’t up to snuff..

At least the Pixel 8 picks up on some pieces it let falter with the last release. The screen refresh rate is now a variable 60Hz to 120Hz, which means I can get smoother Poké ball throws in Pokémon Go now than I did with the Pixel 7's 90Hz. I’ll be curious how the battery life also fares. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro have larger battery packs than their predecessors. But Android has yet to be able to hold a candle to the iPhone’s long battery life in the last two years.

I did not get to try any of the health and wellness features of the Pixel Watch 2. I could only wear the device and see how it feels on the wrist. It feels just like the last Pixel Watch! I still prefer the design of the Galaxy Watch 6 in terms of button offering—the Galaxy Watch 6 has two buttons compared to the Pixel Watch 2's, though the Watch 2 also has a digital crown that acts as a button.
