Google Pixel 10 Pro XL / Google Pixel 8 Pro

An LTPO panel can drop to 1 Hz, so static content and the always-on display use less power; it rises to 120 Hz when scrolling.

An LTPO panel can drop the refresh rate as low as 1 Hz for static content, saving power with the always-on display and while reading, and rises to 120 Hz for motion. Google notes it is not available for all apps or content. Because the corners are rounded, the actual viewable area is less than 6.7 inches.

Tensor G3 includes a TPU that accelerates on-device AI models. Titan M2 is a separate security chip that protects the lock screen and encryption keys.

The 128 GB option exists only on the smaller Pixel 10 Pro. Zoned UFS writes data in zones to improve write efficiency on the large capacity.

Storage options vary by region and channel; there is no memory card slot.

Optical quality is given at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x; Pro Zoom up to 100x is AI-assisted digital zoom.

Optical and electronic stabilisation work together on the wide and telephoto cameras. Zoom beyond 5x is digital. Pro controls allow manual shutter, ISO and focus and high-resolution (50 MP) shots. A multi-zone laser autofocus sensor helps focus in low light.

Video Boost uploads the clip to Google Photos and processes it on servers, so it needs a connection and some waiting time.

Video Boost uploads video to Google’s servers to reprocess colour, lighting and stabilisation; it needs the Google Photos app and the result is not instant. Night Sight Video uses this processing in low light.

The standard Pixel 8 has a fixed-focus front camera; the autofocus on the 8 Pro keeps close selfies sharp.

No adapter is in the box. Pixelsnap means built-in magnets align the phone with Qi2 chargers and accessories; the smaller Pro is limited to 15 W wireless.

Google quotes beyond 24-hour battery life and up to 72 hours in Extreme Battery Saver (many features including 5G off). Figures use the separately sold Google 30 W USB-C charger (USB-PD 3.0 PPS). Battery Share significantly reduces the phone’s battery life.

The UWB chip finds the direction and distance of compatible tags and devices more precisely; Thread is a low-power mesh network for smart-home devices.

Colour availability varies by region.

Google measures the HDR figure at a 100% on-pixel ratio and the peak figure at a 5% on-pixel ratio; 2,400 nits is a ceiling for small bright areas.

The matte back shows fewer fingerprints; the standard Pixel 8 has a polished back and a matte frame.

Google says the sensor can measure the temperature of an object, such as a pan or milk in a baby’s bottle. Google said it applied to the FDA for body-temperature use; that use depends on the country.

Wi-Fi 6E is listed in Japan and Wi-Fi 6 in Taiwan, Singapore and India. Ultra-Wideband measures direction and distance to compatible devices.

eSIM support depends on the operator.

The bundled cable runs at USB 2.0 speed. There is no headphone jack. A Quick Switch adapter is in the box.

The period counts from when the device first became available on the US Google Store (12 October 2023).

Resistance can diminish over time; liquid damage voids the warranty.
