This is clear given that the brand has started its teaser campaign for the Open in India - but not as you'd expect.It's not a social media post announcing an announcement, or anything like that.

Google's series of video ads under the "#BestPhonesForever" moniker continues today with the latest installment, a "scary story" about how wonderful and AI-filled the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro launch on October 4 will be.That is, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max portrayed alongside the Pixel 7 Pro in this video. The iPhone, in Google's opinion, only got "a different mute button, a dynamic-er island, and a new charging port".
