9to5Google reports that Google’s AI-heavy follow-up to the Pixel 7 phones will go up to $699 for the Pixel 8 and $999 for the Pixel 8 Pro in the US.
The reported prices are $100 up from their respective Pixel 7 counterparts. Google will hold an event on October 4th to discuss its new Pixel hardware.
It is frankly shameful that Judge Amit Mehta still hasn’t ruled on opening up access to documents in this industry-shaking trial, let alone made it clear when any of the trial itself would be open to the public. Today, Apple’s John Giannandrea testified in closed court while reporters waited outside with no communication from the court at all. Ridiculous.
MySmartPrice shared official-looking renders of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro and some of the colors that the phones will apparently come in. The article includes three colors for each phone, and you should check the galleries for yourself to see what Google might have in store at its Pixel launch event on October 4th.
Below, I’ve included an image of my favorite color of the lot: a Pixel 8 Pro in a nice porcelain. And check out our storystream to see more leaks about the phones.
The patch is for all devices running Android 13, covering the Pixel 4a up (Verizon) or Pixel 6 and up (T-Mobile, Google Fi) in the US. That includes both the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold for Verizon customers.
Google says the vulnerability “may be under limited, targeted exploitation,” indicating it’s not a widespread issue. The company doesn’t offer any information about the vulnerability itself.

We knew the Pixel Tablet didn’t exactly belong in the premium Pixel lineup, but I didn’t expect it’d be quite this hollow in iFixit’s teardown photos!
Ars Technica takes a harsher tone than I would; More battery would be nice, but I’m on board with a single layer of components as long as repairs are easy. Lots of glue here despite no water resistance, though...
