Google has a strange strategy of revealing all the details of its devices to the public before they're even launched, and it works surprisingly well. The hype surrounding this year's Pixels and Pixel Watch 2 far exceeds that of previous Pixels or arguably since the first rebirth of the "Pixel" brand. If you're keen to buy the new Pixel 8 series but can't decide whether it's worth settling for the Pixel 8 or going for the Pro variant, in this article let's look at all the differences between the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.

The biggest difference between the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro comes down to size. The Pixel 8 has a 6.2-inch 120Hz display and has a smaller footprint compared to the Pro's massive 6.7-inch display. In fact, the Pixel 8 is smaller than the Pixel 7 which has a 6.3-inch screen, making it a great option for people who need a relatively smaller device. The Pixel 8 has an FHD+ display while the Pixel 8 Pro display is "technically" still 2K, but has fewer pixels compared to the Pixel 7 Pro display.

One of the other changes to the Pro model this year is the exclusion of a curved screen in favor of a flat one. First, the curved screen introduced accidental touches, but most people often associate curved screens with premium-ness; therefore, a group of people will be disappointed

The front of both devices is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and the chassis of both are made of aluminum. Another feedback that Google took into account this year is the elimination of glossy backs in favor of matte texture, which should improve the feel in the hand. Overall, if you're buying a Pixel based solely on size, the Pixel 8 makes sense if you need a small form factor while the Pixel 8 Pro is for all the big-screen fans out there.
