Google Pixel 7 5G vs Google Pixel 8 5G

The Pixel 8 5G is the stronger buy overall, but the Pixel 7 5G holds its own as a budget-friendly flagship. Here is what sets them apart.

• The Pixel 8 5G has a 120 Hz display with 2,000-nit peak brightness; the Pixel 7 5G tops out at 90 Hz and 1,400 nits
• The Pixel 8 5G's main camera has a wider f/1.7 aperture, letting in 21% more light than the Pixel 7 5G's f/1.9
• The Pixel 8 5G's ultrawide adds autofocus, enabling macro photography not available on the Pixel 7 5G
• The Pixel 8 5G guarantees seven years of OS and security updates; the Pixel 7 5G offers three

You can also buy a new smartphone on Easy EMIs at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities, including Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales. Check your loan eligibility online in minutes so you know exactly what you can get before you step into the store.

The Pixel 8 5G is the stronger phone — it brings a faster Tensor G3 chip, a 120 Hz display with 2,000-nit peak brightness, better low-light photography, and seven years of OS updates. The Pixel 7 5G remains a capable option with a 50 MP dual camera, 6.3-inch AMOLED display, and solid 5G performance, but it falls short on longevity and display quality. If you are deciding between the two, the Pixel 8 5G is the better long-term investment; the Pixel 7 5G makes sense if budget is the priority. You can also explore other Google mobile phones or the latest 5G mobile phones to find a model that fits your needs.

You can buy a smartphone through Easy EMIs when your preferred model is eligible and available at a partner store, making it simple to upgrade without paying the full amount upfront. Here is what the process looks like.

• Visit more than 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal
• Choose your preferred model and use the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan
• Convert the purchase cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen smartphone qualifies before you check out.

The Pixel 8 5G is the better long-term buy, but the Pixel 7 5G offers strong value if budget is the priority. Here are the three questions that matter most when deciding.

Is the Pixel 8 5G worth the extra cost over the Pixel 7 5G?

The Pixel 7 5G starts at approximately ₹29,499 and the Pixel 8 5G at approximately ₹37,999 — a gap of around ₹8,500. For that premium, you get the Tensor G3 chip, a 120 Hz display, 2,000-nit outdoor brightness, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, faster 27 W wired charging, and seven years of OS and security updates. If you plan to keep your phone for three or more years, the Pixel 8 5G is the more practical buy.

Which phone takes better photos for everyday Indian use?

Both use a 50 MP main camera with OIS and Google's computational photography. The Pixel 8 5G's wider f/1.7 aperture lets in 21% more light than the Pixel 7's f/1.9, making it noticeably better in low-light conditions — indoor events, evening shoots, or festive occasions. The Pixel 8 also adds ultrawide autofocus, enabling macro photography. For casual shooters, both deliver; for varied lighting, the Pixel 8 5G has a clear edge.

How long will each phone receive software updates in India?

The Pixel 7 5G offers three years of OS updates and five years of security patches. The Pixel 8 5G commits to seven years of both — the longest guarantee from any Android manufacturer. For Indian buyers who hold onto devices for four to five years, this makes the Pixel 8 5G significantly better protected against security risks and app incompatibility over time.

Benchmark scores give you a consistent, objective measure of how each phone handles real-world processing tasks. The Pixel 8 5G leads across every test, driven by the more efficient Tensor G3 chip.

➜ Pro tip: Benchmark scores reflect controlled conditions. In daily use, both phones feel smooth for social media, streaming, and calls — the Pixel 8's lead is most noticeable during sustained tasks like video editing, gaming, or running multiple apps.

Both phones are listed on Bajaj Mall and available across Bajaj Finserv partner stores. Current selling prices vary by variant and retailer.
