I’ve got good news and bad news about the Google Pixel 8. According to a new report, it’s getting a huge display upgrade. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s probably not the kind of upgrade you’re hoping for, so if you’re looking for a bigger screen, more densely packed pixels or improved brightness this isn’t the news story for you.
That’s not to say that the Pixel 8 won’t get a better screen too; a different display is rumoured to be coming to the Pixel 8 Pro. But at the moment the news coming out of Google is about displays you can connect it to rather than the display that’s built into it. According to a new report from Android Authority, the Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro will both support DisplayPort over USB-C.
