The unboxing video of the Google Pixel 8 reveals that the box design remains largely unchanged, with a minimalistic white look. The Pixel 8 has rounded corners and a bigger camera array, although it is slightly smaller than its predecessor. Google is rumored to offer seven years of software updates for the Pixel 8, a significant improvement from its previous policy. Hardware enhancements, including flat displays and improved camera capabilities, are also expected.
The video, published by PBK Reviews, showcases the Pixel 8’s packaging, which maintains the familiar all-white design with the Google logo and Pixel 8 branding. When opening the box, the phone is revealed first, displaying unmistakably rounded corners and a bigger camera array. The Pixel 8 is slightly smaller in size compared to its predecessor but maintains the signature Pixel look. The box also contains a USB-A to USB-C adapter, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a small booklet, likely containing regulatory information or a setup guide.
According to PBK, the Pixel 8 still retains an optical under-display fingerprint sensor, similar to previous Pixel models. Google’s upcoming Made by Google event on October 4 is expected to unveil the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, along with the Pixel Watch 2. An exciting improvement is the rumored inclusion of seven years of software updates for the Pixel 8, a substantial upgrade from the previous policy. Additionally, the new models are expected to feature flat displays and significant camera enhancements, thanks to both new hardware and software processing options. However, these upgrades may come at a higher price, with conflicting leaks suggesting a $100 increase across the board.
