While iteration may be the name of the game for 2023's flagship phones, the Google Pixel 8 offers itself up as a wonderful upgrade over its predecessor. It features a 120Hz refresh rate screen with a whopping max brightness of 2,000 nits, rounded corners for a more comfortable in-hand feel, and an upgraded ultrawide that supports macrofocus and autofocus. With all this and seven years of system updates, the Pixel 8 earns its $100 price increase and then some.
