The new screens are called “Actua” displays, and the 8 Pro gets a “Super Actua” display that’s the brightest on a Pixel yet. It has 1-120Hz refresh rates and a peak brightness of 2,400 nits, which is hella bright.
The pink iPhone 15 was the belle of the ball in September. Well, the influence of Barbie has hit Google, too, because we got a beeyootiful pink color Pixel 8, too. Hopefully, hopefully, it’ll be a more saturated pink. Never trust the renders!
Not sold on this bay blue for the Pro, though.
The Pixel 8 Pro — not the regular Pixel 8 — gets a new soft-touch back panel. There’s also a bright new “bay” blue that is “energetic and hopeful.” I mean, it’s blue for sure!
They’re the “next evolution of AI in your hand.” They’ve got Tensor G3, an updated silhouette with more rounded corners, and, of course, lots of AI.
They’re the same cost, starting at $349. It’s $50 more for LTE. You get six months of Fitbit Premium. That’s even though we’re downgrading from stainless steel to recycled aluminum. Hm.
The Fitbit app redesign rolled out a couple of weeks ago, but Park is onstage talking about the sleeker, more Material You-inspired design and how personalized AI folds in. Park is talking about generative AI within the app to give extra context as to your recent trends. Park’s using it to demonstrate how AI can tell you why you’re not doing so hot on your 5Ks. (Feels like a personal attack, honestly.) Whoop also announced something similar to this very recently.
This AI program will roll out early next year with priority access to Pixel phone owners.
