Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro specs and features

There's a big focus on cameras on the Pixel 8 Pro, which will ring a familiar bell as Apple's followed the same trend with the recent launch of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

It boasts a flagship-level 50MP main camera, with 21% more light sensitivity than its predecessor.

Google's almost making further use of AI to help make photos, videos and audio better.

And for the first time ever in a Pixel phone, Google's added a thermometer feature so you can quickly get the temperature of things by scanning them.

Here's a rundown of the specs at a glance for both models.
