Delving deeper into the device's performance, the Pixel 8 Pro will be powered by the new Tensor G3 SoC. This chip is speculated to be influenced by Samsung’s Exynos 2300 SoC and crafted using Samsung’s advanced 3nm technology. This not only ensures a more efficient operation but, courtesy of its FO-WLP packaging, also maintains cooler temperatures. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that, as per leaked data, the device's performance metrics on Geekbench 5 stand at a single-core score of 1186 and a multicore score of 3809.

In terms of memory and storage, the Pixel 8 Pro will be equipped with 12GB RAM. Storage capacities are reported to go up to 1TB for the US market and 512GB for other regions. Powering the device will be a robust 5,050mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging and 23W Qi-wireless charging. Connectivity features include WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC, with the added security of a Titan M2 chip. Notably, the phone will ship with Android 14 and is set to receive five major OS updates, coupled with seven years of consistent security patches.
