The Google Pixel 8 series are anticipated phones with several rumours surrounding their release. The rumours regarding the launch date have now been put to rest as Google announced today that it will hold a new product launch event on October 4th where it will launch the new Pixel series. These mobile phones, Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were also spotted on the FCC’s database. This also confirms that the launch date for these devices is close.
The listing of the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro on the FCC database is a huge step towards the launch of these phones. Usually, when mobile phones get FCC certification, their launch is not so far away. Here are some details about the FCC certification. While we don’t expect any design changes, there should be some decent upgrades in the hardware of these devices. For starters, these devices will come with the new Google Tensor G3 chip which will be an upgrade to the previous Tensor G2 SoC.

Google Pixel 8 series FCC certification
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is a US government agency that regulates communications. It regulates all communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in the United States. All electronic devices that emit radio frequency energy must be certified by the FCC. They need the certification before they can be sold in the US.
The recent FCC filings by Google for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro suggest that the phones have passed this certification process and are now one step closer to being released. According to FCC certification documents, there are five models. The models are GKWS6, G9BQD, GZPF0, GPJ41 and G1MNW.
These are different versions of the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones. Among them, Pixel 8 models include GZPF0, G9BQD, GKWS6 and GPJ41. Also, the GZPF0 model supports mmWave 5G network, while other models do not. The Pixel 8 Pro model is G1MNW, supports UWB, Wi-Fi 6E, and supports Sub6 and mmWave 5G networks.
Google Pixel 8 series
With the launch of the Google Pixel 6 series, Google introduced a new “bar” design on the rear that hosts its camera and flash sensors. This design was quite innovative and it was the first in the industry to use the design. The Google Pixel 7 series retained the design considering that the previous generation had a lot of positive reviews. The coming Google Pixel 8 series will also likely retain this design. However, it will use a metal frame as well as a glass rear.
The Google Pixel 8 will have a smaller display than previous models, at 6.17 inches. However, the Pixel 8 Pro will retain the same 6.7-inch size, but the panel will now be flat. The Pixel 8 will have a 2400 x 1080 resolution, or full HD+ resolution, and a brightness of up to 1,400 nits. On the other hand, the Pro model will have a refresh rate of 120 Hz with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 1440 x 3120 resolution. Both phones will have 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
Conclusion
The FCC certification of the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro is a promising sign that the phones are on track for release later this year. This listing reveals that the Pixel 8 Pro model will support UWB, Wi-Fi 6E, as well as Sub6 and mmWave 5G networks. The FCC certification for this series means that these devices will launch pretty soon.
