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.

Personal Intelligence in Search now connects to Google Calendar
Google Search AI can now read your Calendar and add events automatically

Google is taking another step toward making Search feel less like a search engine and more like a personal assistant. The company has announced that AI Mode's Personal Intelligence can now connect directly to Google Calendar, allowing it not only to reference your schedule but also to create calendar events on your behalf.

Until now, Personal Intelligence mainly pulled information from apps like Gmail and Google Photos to provide more relevant responses. Calendar changes the equation because it becomes the first connected Google app that doesn't just provide context. It can actively act. The feature is rolling out now to users in the United States, with a wider international rollout planned later.
