Pixel 8 Pro: Google’s longer-lasting, AI-packed camera phone

Seven years of updates, advanced generative AI tools, top-class zoom and still undercuts high-end rivals

Google's top Pixel is back to outshoot, outsmart and outlast the competition, promising seven years of full software support. But whether the Pixel 8 Pro's high-end features justify a sharp price increase is open to debate.

Costing 999 (1,099/$999/A$1,699), the new Android still undercuts the 1,200 competition from Apple and Samsung, but the 150 jump over last year's stellar 7 Pro stings.
