Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro has been launched in an all new colour. Google has been teasing the new colour earlier this week. While the mint green option is more subdued compared to the vibrant “bay” blue 8 Pro, it adds a refreshing touch to the regular Pixel 8 lineup.
For Pixel enthusiasts eyeing the smaller variant, this marks the first opportunity to break away from the conventional black, hazel, and rose gold color choices that have dominated since the phone’s October release. Mint, however, comes exclusively with the base 128GB storage for both models; those seeking more storage will have to stick to the original colors.
Described as “inspired by the vibrant hue found in nature” and touted as a “luminous color that invites the mind into a state of energizing calmness,”. The promotional materials suggest it’s a color for those aiming for a “fresher version of you.” Google’s design team seems confident in their description, and it remains to be seen how consumers will embrace this minty fresh addition to the Pixel family.

Up front, there’s a 10.5-megapixel selfie camera, while the rear houses a trio of powerful cameras: a 50-megapixel main camera with phase-detect autofocus and optical image stabilization, a new 48-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 48-megapixel 5x zoom camera with impressive 30X Super-Res digital zoom. The phone’s design combines glass and metal, reminiscent of the previous Pixel 7 Pro.
Inside, it runs on the same Google Tensor G3 chip. The Pixel 8 Pro packs a 5,050mAh battery, supporting 30W wired charging and 23W wireless charging, although the charger isn’t included.
â€èOther notable features include a Titan security chip for enhanced security, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage for smooth multitasking and ample space. It also features a temperature monitoring sensor and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.â€è
A unique addition is the skin temperature sensor, the Melexis MLX90632 unit, positioned near the cameras. Unlike other sensors, it’s solely dedicated to accurate temperature readings and doesn’t enhance photography. This feature could have various practical applications beyond traditional smartphone functions.
