The website claims that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have been codenamed ‘Shiba’ and ‘Husky’ respectively and the names are in tandem with Google’s current devices as Pixel 7 and 7 Pro were also called ‘Panther’ and ‘Cheetah’ respectively. The report claims that Google might make a 3rd Tensor chipset in collaboration with Samsung and that chipset has been codenamed ‘Zuma’. Zuma is said to have the same Samsung-made G5300 modem as the Tensor G2.

Since Samsung has started working on Exynos 2300, it can be the reference platform for the next Tensor SoC. Some other speculations about the device claim that the Pixel 8 Series will have 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and run Android 14 (codenamed Upside Down Cake). The Pixel 8 will have a 2268×1080 resolution display whereas the Pro variant might have a 2822×1344 pixel resolution panel. Earlier reports claim that the Google Pixel 8 pro might also have an ultrasonic sensor.

However, regardless of any rumors that surface online Google Pixel 8 Series is still almost a year away and a lot of these specs might even change by then. For now, speculations are rife that Google might come up with a Pixel 7a and a Pixel Ultra device before it actually starts talking about the Pixel 8 Series. The Pixel Ultra smartphone is said to feature insane camera specs that might solidify the company’s best camera phone maker status.
