Google Pixel 8 Pro: Storage Choices
The forthcoming Pixel 8 Pro appears to retain its initial storage capacity of 128GB, while 256GB emerges as the prevailing standard.
The Google Pixel 8 series is poised to make its debut in a mere couple of months, and a recent leak has divulged information regarding the available storage options and more.
According to a report from WinFuture, the Google Pixel 8 Pro will present three storage choices in total, commencing with 128GB. In addition to that, potential buyers will have the option to select from the more capacious 256GB and 512GB alternatives.
This maintains consistency with last year’s Pixel 7 series and the preceding Pixel 6, though it arrives at a significant moment. Over the past year, an increasing number of flagship devices have shifted to a minimum storage tier of 256GB. Devices such as Samsung’s Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra, the OnePlus 11, and many others have embraced this change, often offering it at the same price as the previous 128GB models. Notably, this shift is attributed, in part, to the implementation of the new UFS 4.0 storage class, supported by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is currently not widely available in 128GB capacities. Although the Pixel 8 series is set to be powered by the Tensor G3, which reportedly supports this newer storage option, it appears that Google might not be utilizing it to its full potential. Similarly, Samsung employs UFS 3.1 for its base Galaxy S23, offering a more affordable 128GB model.
Interestingly, an earlier Pixel 8 Pro leak had shown the device featuring 128GB of storage.
Whether this lower storage offering poses any concerns remains uncertain, but it undoubtedly sets the Pixel apart. Coupled with rumored price increases, it only serves to narrow the gap between Google’s device and its competitors.
Furthermore, this recent report reaffirms the available color options, with the Pixel 8 Pro offering shades like “Licorice,” “Porcelain,” and “Sky,” while the regular Pixel 8 presents choices such as “Licorice,” “Peony,” and “Haze.”
