Pixel 8 vs 14T
It depends
Too close to call outright

Value Score: Pixel 8 74 · 14T 71 — methodology
The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
The 14T's screen is the better one — 6.67-inch amoled, 2712×1220 (446 ppi), up to 144hz, up to 4000 nits peak.
Performance is a wash — same chip tier.
The 14T has the stronger camera system (3 real rear lenses vs 2).
5,000mAh vs 4,575mAh — the 14T lasts longer between charges.
The Pixel 8 is supported until Oct 2030 — 13 months longer than the 14T.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
