Display analyst Ross Young recently tweeted that the Pixel 8 will have a 6.16-inch display, while the Pixel 8 Pro will feature a larger 6.7-inch display. These dimensions are comparable to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, respectively. According to Young, the display panels for both devices will enter production in May of this year, giving us an idea of when to expect the phone’s launch.
