Following last week’s detailed Google Pixel 8 series camera specs leak comes a new report on the upcoming devices’ screen specs. Based on information from an inside source at Google, Android Authority shares our most detailed look at the Pixel 8 duo’s new display panels.
Pixel 8 will bring a flat 6.17-inch OLED
display with 1080 x 2400px resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The display
panel will reportedly measure 64 x 143mm and will have a higher corner
curvature at 102px compared to the 47px on its predecessor. In addition, we get
confirmation that the display will be able to dial back its refresh rate down
to 10 Hz, 30 Hz, or 60 Hz depending on the scenario. The smaller Pixel will
have a peak brightness of up to 1,400 nits when displaying HDR content.
Pixel 8 Pro is rumored to bring a flat
6.7-inch OLED display with a 1,344 x 2,992 px resolution and a 120Hz refresh
rate. Like its non-Pro sibling, Pixel 8 Pro will feature a higher corner
curvature which brings the pixels per inch count down to 490 ppi on Pixel 8 Pro
compared to 512ppi on the Pixel 7 Pro. Maxim brightness in HDR mode is rated at
1,600 nits and the display will be able to dial back its refresh rate down to
5Hz to save battery.
