Google is preparing for a highly anticipated product launch event on October 4th. The tech giant is set to unveil its cutting-edge portfolio at the next Made By Google event, which will include the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones, the Pixel Watch 2, and the next-generation Pixel Buds Pro.
The Pixel 8 series will be unveiled at 7:30 PM IST and will be streamed live on YouTube and other key social media channels. Along with the new hardware, it is expected that Google will make the formal introduction of Android 14 during the event.
The Pixel 8 series is Google’s third-generation smartphone endeavor, including an in-house Tensor chip co-engineered with Samsung. According to sources, the Tensor G3, which powers the Pixel 8 series, features a unique 9-core CPU architecture. This combination has four efficient or “little” cores, four high-performance “big” cores, and a single high-performance core based on the latest ARM Cortex X3 architecture with a maximum clock speed of 3GHz.
Keeping with tradition, the Pixel 8 series will include a slew of proprietary software features powered by the Tensor G3’s new Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The Tensor G3’s nine CPU cores are all aligned with the latest ARMv9 2022 architecture, which may make the Pixel 8 series one of the first Android phone sets to abandon support for 32-bit programs.
In terms of design, the Pixel 8 appears to follow the same design language as its predecessor, the Pixel 7. Meanwhile, the more expensive Pixel 8 Pro is expected to have a revolutionary camera setup, maybe with three cameras with different focus lengths. The Pixel Watch 2 has a similar appearance to the first Pixel Watch but will, significantly, make its formal debut in the Indian market this time.
The Pixel 8 series, Pixel Watch 2, and the new Pixel Buds Pro will be available for pre-order on Flipkart in the near future.
