What do you still want to know about the Pixel 8 series and Pixel Watch 2?

Last week, Google unveiled the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2. With shipping set to begin later this week, and our reviews forthcoming, what do you still want to know about Google’s latest devices?

In our hands-on last week, we called the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro the “most promising” phones that the company has made yet. That’s largely thanks to improved designs, hardware, the sheer potential of Tensor G3, and the 7-year update promise Google has made for these devices.

Of course, much of that is an “if.” Most of the selling points of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will rest largely on Google Tensor G3, which literally just needs to clear the bar of not being bad. The overheating issues and subsequential performance problems that Tensor-powered Pixels have faced is something I’m really hoping to see Google fix this year.

But, beyond that, the other big focus of the Pixel 8 series is AI. Between “Best Take” and the other surprisingly-controversial camera features, “Summarize” in Assistant, and more, Google is betting heavily on AI to make these phones feel more appealing.

And, that’s probably a good thing, as Google needs something new to stand out. Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 both undercut the competition heavily with the $599/$899 price tag approach, but Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro up that to $699 and $999. That’s not to say Google is suddenly no longer offering a good deal – these phones are still considerably cheaper than comparable counterparts – but the company does need to convince customers that these are worth the extra $100 over the previous generation.

Then, there’s the Pixel Watch 2, which looks at surface level like a minor refresh compared to the previous generation. But, really, it is bringing quite a bit new to the table. Between a new chip, better battery life, hardware tweaks, and much better health sensors, I think the Pixel Watch 2 could be a really big year-over-year improvement, even if most folks will just write it off as something minor.

But, really, only time will tell with that.
