Google Pixel 8 vs Google Pixel 8 Pro

Name: Google Pixel 8 Pro
Brand: Google
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.4 (11 reviews)

Our Verdict: Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro 5G suit different priorities. The Pro 5G is stronger for display quality, helped by a larger 6.7-inch screen, a sharper 513 PPI display, and its LTPO AMOLED panel, while the regular 8 is better suited to its AMOLED panel. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the Pro 5G for display quality; choose the regular 8 if simplicity matters more.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 5G is the cheaper buy at £185 SIM-free.
