As much as we love theGoogle Pixel 7 Pro– it’s without a doubt one of thebest Android phoneslaunched in 2022 and a great showcase forAndroid– its screen doesn’t delight everyone. It gets seriously curvy at the edges, which is an acquired taste.
That makes it feel smaller in the hand, but the downside is that content right at the edges can be a little harder to see. But, that’s going to change with theGoogle Pixel 8Pro, we’re told.
According toAndroid Authority, the next Pro is going to have a flat display. It’s also expected to have a much improved camera sensor, so while we’re not expecting to see a dramatically different Pixel this year, it should still be a worthwhile upgrade and a good rival to thebest phonesfrom other Android manufacturers.
Google Pixel 8 Pro: what do we know?
According to the report, the display is going to be microscopically smaller – 6.7-inches compared to 6.71 for the Pixel 7 Pro – and significantly brighter, with a max brightness of 1,600 nits compared to the 1,000 of its predecessor.
The resolution will be slightly lower, though, at 1,344 x 2,992 compared to 1,440 x 3,120. The refresh rate still tops out at 120Hz but will be more variable. The current model has three different refresh rates, but the Pixel 8 Pro will have four, including one offering rates of 60-120Hz.
The standard Pixel will be getting smaller too, it is said. That’s down to 6.17 inches from the current 6.31 inches. Both versions of the phone will have more rounded corners too.

We’d expect the next Pixel to get the next generation ofGoogle’s Tensor chip too, so there will be more than enough horsepower to handle the next generation of Android: as ever, the Pixel Pro will be Google’s Android flagship – this time for Android 14.
