According to sources inside Google, the Pixel 8 series sports faster charging and slightly bigger batteries, along with other improvements.

tl;dr:

  • “Both the regular Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro see a small 4W bump in charging power — the devices now support 24W and 27W charging, respectively”;
  • “Google’s upgrading the chip to BCM4398, which supports Wi-Fi 7, for both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro”;
  • “While the Pixel 8 Pro will include a UWB module, an upgraded one at that, it’s still missing from the smaller Pixel 8”

    Support for display port alternate mode is a pretty big deal given it’s be conspicuously missing for a while.
