Google Pixel 8 Pro Full Specifications
Beyond storage, the Pixel 8 Pro packs a feature set that justifies its flagship price. Here is a breakdown of everything the phone brings to the table.
Display and Performance
The Pixel 8 Pro sports a large 6.7-inch Quad-HD display with a resolution of 1344 × 2992 pixels and a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is powered by Google's own Tensor G3 processor, which handles everything from everyday tasks to AI-driven features. Security is handled by the dedicated Titan M2 security chipset, providing hardware-level protection for sensitive data.
Camera System and Battery
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the triple rear camera setup. The primary sensor is a 50-megapixel shooter, supported by two 48-megapixel lenses for versatile shooting. On the front, a 10.5-megapixel camera takes care of selfies and video calls. Keeping the lights on is a 5,050 mAh battery with support for 30-watt wired charging. The phone also features a convenient in-display fingerprint sensor and runs on Android 14 out of the box.
Is the 256 GB Variant Worth the Premium?
The Rs 7,000 jump from the 128 GB model to the new 256 GB version is fairly reasonable for anyone who shoots a lot of photos or videos, installs many apps, or simply prefers not to worry about storage. Factor in the Rs 9,000 SBI Credit Card discount and you are effectively getting the larger storage at a lower net cost than the base model at full price. The Rs 4,000 exchange bonus makes the deal even more attractive for those upgrading from an older device.
