Now for its specifications, as far as now known, the Google Pixel 8 smartphone is expected to be powered by Google’s upcoming Tensor G3 chipset and is likely to operate on the Android 14-based operating system. The smartphone is also expected to feature a 6.2″ OLED display panel and will be retaining the flat front display.
