Although it’s not part of the latest Pixel series, we’ve hailed the Pixel 8 as a solid buy for “anyone on the market for a great all-rounder in 2024”, thanks to its AI tools, excellent camera and seven years of OS upgrades.

Powering the Pixel 8 is the “very responsive” Tensor G3 chipset which enables the running of Google’s AI toolkit, including photo and video editing to Live Translate and Call Screen which detects when an incoming phone call is likely to be a scam.
