Google just leaked the new Pixel 8 Pro itself, alongside a possible first glimpse at the Pixel Watch 2.
. But an improved processor and Google’s rumored promise of longer software support is good news for Pixel 7 owners struggling with battery life problems.
September 1st update: The rumors that Google will drop the physical sim slot in the Pixel 8 range are looking less likely thanks to a report in. The story claims that Google has no plan to replace the physical sim card slot with an eSIM-only option, as some rumors have suggested in the last couple of months. This is good news and a win for consumers in the war against physical ports.
Considering that some Apple iPhone 14 models don’t have a physical sim slot, it seems like a matter of time before Google, Samsung and others follow suit. 9to5Google points out that the Search company is working on making it easy in Android to transfer your eSIM between phones, which might lay the groundwork for moving to a full eSIM Google handset in the future. For now, it seems that travellers and people who prefer non-eSIM plans have that option in the Pixel 8 range.
The report also details a new night sight video feature that might be coming to the Pixel 8 Pro. This means low light videography could benefit from a huge improvement in clarity, detail and noise reduction, just as pictures have in previous Pixel phones. Google’s Tensor chip is designed precisely for this type of AI-based feature, which is what sets the Pixel line apart and the main reason the Pixel 7 takes the best pictures on the market. Extending a major AI camera trick to video would be a big technological leap that will change how people film videos. I’m interested to know what kind of impact that level of post-processing will have on how hot the phone gets and if it’s a feature that can be used for long periods of time.
