Exclusive: Google Pixel 8 series will have bigger batteries, faster charging

tl;dr:
- "Both the regular Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro see a small 4W bump in charging power โ the devices now support 24W and 27W charging, respectively";
- "Googleโs upgrading the chip to BCM4398, which supports Wi-Fi 7, for both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro";
- "While the Pixel 8 Pro will include a UWB module, an upgraded one at that, itโs still missing from the smaller Pixel 8"
Would make for a decent pocket-sized Chromebook! It's pretty amazing to see how far we've come since Canonical presented its "convergence" concept (basically today's "desktop mode") with its Ubuntu Phone (now dead): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6s6kVBIe3w
as long as the modem is better than the one in my P6P, everything else is just the cherry on top... I would like to be able to go outside and know that I can search or use gps etc without having to worry lol
though bigger battery and faster charging is always welcome no matter the outcome

Support for display port alternate mode is a pretty big deal given it's be conspicuously missing for a while.
