On October 4, Google officially unveiled its new smartphones – Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. They received new hardware and cameras, but remained almost unchanged externally, which is very similar to their competitors, whose updates this year were not very innovative either.

It is not yet known how much the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will cost in Ukraine, but given the trend with previous models, we can expect that Google’s smartphones will be the cheapest among all the listed companies.

In addition, Google has another significant advantage over Apple and Samsung this year – 7-year support for operating system updates. By purchasing a Pixel 8 or 8 Pro this year, you can count on your smartphone receiving the necessary updates and even additional features until 2030.

Smartphone sales in the US will begin on October 12.
