6 Reasons to Wait for the Pixel 8 & 3 Reasons Not To

Wait for Performance Improvements

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro offer solid performance in key areas like battery life and speed, but expect the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro to take a step forward. 

Google is reportedly testing a new Tensor G3 processor that's based on an unannounced Exynos processor from Samsung. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are both powered by Google's Tensor G2 chip.

The move to this new chip should help the Pixel 8 models deliver better performance in key areas like battery life, AI logic, and gaming performance.

The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro should also come with 12GB of RAM and there's also a rumor hinting at support for USB DisplayPort alternate mode.

The latter would allow Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro users to utilize their device like a desktop computer, complete with mouse and keyboard support.
