Should you buy the Google Pixel 8?

The Google Pixel 8 is going to delight a lot of people, especially at the price it currently sells at. If you want a quick review — it’s the phone that most people will be very happy with. It’s surprisingly robust for the price with a matte aluminum metal frame and polished glass rear panel. It has IP68 water and dust resistance too. It’s more compact than many other phones with its 6.2-inch screen just the right size for portability yet still making it simple to take around with you.

The screen is an OLED “Actua Display” panel with a 2400 x 1080 resolution, 2,000-nit peak brightness, and a variable refresh rate between 60Hz and 120Hz. It’s great for general use as well as watching videos.

For the cameras, you gain a 50MP main camera along with optical and electronic image stabilization and an f/1.68 aperture. The wide-angle lens is 12MP and offers a 125.8-degree field of view, but there’s no dedicated telephoto camera here. Fortunately, the main camera is excellent so it’s perfect for everyday shots and more. Google’s software does a great job of enhancing your results too with Magic Editor a particular highlight.

It all comes together to mean that the Google Pixel 8 is easily one of the best Android phones around. It’s a great all-rounder that feels good in your hands, works well in every sense, and is enjoyable to use. Potentially best of all for those frustrated by some of the best phones, there’s an exceptional battery life of two days which is sure to be appreciated by many busy people.

The Google Pixel 8 is an excellent mid-range option. It’s the latest in the Google Pixel range with only the Pixel 8 Pro being superior. Lighter to carry and use though, the Pixel 8 will appeal to more people who simply want good value without missing out on key features. As you’d expect, Google knows how to get the most out of Android tech. If you want to keep up with technology without spending too much, check it out.

Suck at bedtime stories? Meta has an AI to tuck kids in
Bedtime storytelling is the next job AI is taking away from us.

Bedtime improvisation can demand an unreasonable amount of creativity from a parent who is just trying to get their overstimulated child to go to sleep. Meta might have a solution to this. Using AI, the company wants to take over the tales of dragons, enchanted forests, and conveniently timed lessons about sharing.

The company is testing StoryKit, a free iPhone app that generates personalized children’s stories using AI. Meta confirmed that it is piloting the app in select countries to gauge parents’ interest, with availability currently including Mexico and excluding the United States. A broader release date has yet to be announced.

TSMC Fab

My wallet flinched the second I saw the words "TSMC" and "price increase" in the same headline, and honestly, yours should too.

Turns out the company behind the silicon powering basically every flagship device out there, including Apple’s A-series and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors, is reportedly about to make all of it a little pricier.

Samsung’s free storage doubling for preorders is gone in Austria, and the replacement isn’t as sweet
Samsung's free storage doubling deal might just be history.

If you've pre-ordered a Samsung foldable purely for the free storage bump, tomorrow's Unpacked event might sting a little.

For years, pre-ordering a new Galaxy meant automatically getting double the storage at no additional charge. Buy the 128GB model, walk away with 256GB for the same price. The same applied to the 256GB and 512GB models. However, that might change at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
