Pixel 8 series poll: Are Google's new phones hot or not?

Google has finally released the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, coming after months of leaks and rumors. The phones aren’t a huge departure from last year’s devices, but they’re still looking like interesting upgrades.

What do you think of the Pixel 8 phones, though? Do you think they’re hot stuff or forgettable? Let us know by taking the poll below.

We can understand why you’d think these phones were hot. The Tensor G3 is a big step forward, there are some cool camera-related additions, we’ve got brighter screens, and we still have premium extras like an IP68 rating and wireless charging.

Then again, we don’t blame you if you aren’t enthused by these phones, especially given the $100 higher price tag compared to the Pixel 7 series. We don’t see major upgrades as far as the overall design, camera hardware, or battery capacity is concerned. Furthermore, the addition of a thermometer to the Pixel 8 Pro seems like a left-field addition that could well turn out to be a gimmick.
