After weeks of teases<\/a> and<\/a> leaks<\/a>, Google formally took the wraps off its next flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8 Pro<\/a>. Revealed during the company’s Made by Google event<\/a> on Wednesday, the handset adds a host of new camera and AI features<\/a>, a brighter OLED display, an improved Tensor G3 chip<\/a>, seven years of software updates<\/a> and, oddly, a built-in temperature sensor. It costs $100 more than its predecessor<\/a>, however. For more on how all of this feels in practice, you can check out some early hands-on impressions<\/a> from Engadget’s Deputy Reviews Editor, Cherlynn Low.<\/p>\n

Here, though, we’ve broken down how the Pixel 8 Pro compares on paper to two other large, pricey and well-known flagships, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/a> and Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra<\/a>. As always, raw specs won’t tell the whole story, but if you’re curious about how Google’s latest and greatest stacks up, here’s a quick overview. If you’re more interested in the smaller Pixel 8, meanwhile, we have a similar breakdown<\/a> for that device too.<\/p>\n
