The Google Pixel 8 range is set to launch tomorrow, bringing the latest and greatest technology to the brands' devices. That's not much of a surprise though – the last few weeks and months have been peppered with leaks, leaving us with a relatively clear picture of what to expect at the event.

Still, there's always something new. Just yesterday, a YouTube channel called PBKreviews, shared an unboxing video of the new handset, showing off everything that comes in the box.

Let's start with the zoomed shots. The images show a tree being photographed at 0.5x, 1x, 2x and 5x zoom. The results are quite staggering, with a remarkable degree of detail being retained even at the 5x zoom setting. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was shot at 1x – a really incredible feat.

Then, there's the Night Mode shots. These have a handy comparison between shooting with the mode enabled and disabled, to show you just what a difference the feature makes. The results are quite astounding, with an impressive level of brightness and detail, even in low lighting conditions.

Still, it's exciting to see. The images on show are truly fantastic, and suggest that the impressive performance in that area is set to continue on the next generation of the range.
