TL;DR
- Google has launched a new Mint color for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
- The smaller Pixel 8 has a satin metal finish and a polished glass back, while the larger Pixel 8 Pro comes with a shiny, polished finish on the mid-frame and a matte glass back.
- Google had already released a Mint color case for both phones.
The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in Mint have an identical shade of the color, though their mid-frame and glass finishes are different. The smaller Pixel 8 has a satin metal finish and a polished glass back, while the larger Pixel 8 Pro comes with a shiny, polished finish on the mid-frame and a matte glass back. This is at par with what we see across the different colors.
Since this is just a new color, the phones remain the same as what Google launched in October 2023.
Outside of this new Mint color, you can get the Pixel 8 in Rose, Hazel, and Obsidian colors, while the Pixel 8 Pro can be yours in Porcelain, Bay, and Obsidian colors.
Google Pixel 8
Bright display • Upgraded face-unlock • Improved camera
A bright display from Google’s 2023 flagship phone
The Google Pixel 8 introduces the new Actua display, a 6.2-inch panel that’s 42% brighter than the Pixel 7. Backed by the fully updated Tensor G3 chipset, and a new 50MP camera, this promises to be one of the more exciting Pixel phones.
Google Pixel 8 Pro
Excellent cameras • Fun, exclusive Android 14 customizations • Industry-leading update promise
Powerful Google phone with powerful camera features
The Google Pixel 8 Pro is packed with unique camera features and AI-assisted software that puts the smart into smartphone.
The new Mint color is limited to the Pixel 8 series. Google isn’t launching a matching Mint strap for the Pixel Watch 2 yet, nor a Mint color for its Pixel Buds.
If you’d like to keep your new Mint-colored phone protected with a case that also looks good, Google already sells a Mint-colored case for both phones. However, at $35, this first-party case is a bit pricey. There are bound to be more color options coming out from third-party retailers in the future that will complement the new colorway.
