Maybe thats what it is, every review i see people complaining about how it has no bass or whatever....but in fact the pixel 8 pro has been the best for me bass wise out of any phone ive ever used.
Battery life depends on many things. It's different for everyone. I hit mine hard everyday and still manage to lit it in charge at night with 30-40% everyday. It's learned what I use so it's adapted really well. Even with super hard gaming and music. Cheers.
Right, that bit using the phone as a hotspot with poor service on top of it will destroy any phone's battery. My P8P isn't the battery king but it's more than adequate for a full day and has never really gotten less than 5 and a half hours SOT even with extreme use
Now this is how a phone review should be, experience from real life, the nuances make it more easier to decide what to get rather than just reading out the phone's specs, love from pixel 6
Honest little tip: never keep your fragrances in a bathroom, frequent temperature change due shower will make fragrances to start lose certain notes, especially top notes. It is best to keep it in a cool, dark place where temperature is more or less stable all the time. Cheers! PS. really incredible drone shots in the intro. and lastly, P8 Pro is a lovely phone, been really enjoying it.
@@MattRobbthere are people who also leave fragrances in the car but that's almost as harmful as leaving it in the bathroom. Quick question, are you using the Pixel 8 Pro daily?
I've had my pixel 8 Pro since release and it's been great definitely a better experience than my pixel 7 and my pixel 6 battery life is amazing I get 8 to 10 hours of on-screen time but that's mostly with Wi-Fi in a little bit of mobile data. Thanks for the video I really enjoyed watching the day in the life keep up the good work
Awesome review! Really enjoyed the transparency of using the device throughout the day. Little disappointed to see how much you struggled with the battery life. I thought they’d improve that aspect. Both my s23 ultra and 14 pro max go all day on a single charge. Even when I’m doing heavy usage i manage to make it home at the end of the night with about 30%. I remember my trip to Hawaii last summer I took my s23 ultra and spent an entire day out taking pictures, videos, uploading on social media. Shared my hotspot a few times, used maps. From 7am to about 10pm when I got back to the hotel. Still had about 25% battery. An absolute beast that phone is. I feel like if google can get that right they’d be heavy hitters. I did like the pictures you took, the camera in low light was impressive. However the shakiness when zooming in/out was very noticeable. Almost ruined the shots if I’m honest. I’ve seen other reviews and they all say the same about the post editing ability. I find that great, I feel as if most people now do tend to edit their own shots opposed to the super saturated images that come stock with the camera. You really put this phone to the test. It’s not a bad phone by any means. There’s definitely room for improvement. It’s just tough because you try not to compare it too much with the other guys (iPhone, galaxy) but for the price you kinda have to compare it. Hopefully google takes some notes and listens to the feedback. I’m sure they’ll have a gem soon.
The S23 ultra and the iPhone have good standby but if I leave my pixel over night it wipes out like 30% which is annoying. I imagine it’s due to now playing being on always listening so I’ll have to try turn it off and see if it makes a difference.
I have had mine since launch day. Best Android phone on the market. benchmarks don't matter. the phone is smooth as silk. my only minor complaint is the over brightening of low light photo's. I have to fix them in post.
Matt... That contact machine isn't broken... They have the same style in the gym. Took me ages to work out.. you touch and hold the green "press me" to allow contactless. Just fyi 🤣
Any phone will drain battery quickly if it's on poor network and hotspot to top it off. That being said, I am getting a solid 6 to 7 hours of screen on time easily and left with 20% before bed time. Really happy with my Pixel 8 Pro. It's an amazing phone overall.
I have the pixel and i love it , anyway i am a person who do phone calls, browse media , read and listens on the phone, but i never ever play games on my phones no matter how incredible their chip might be . I do gaming only on proper PC :) I really wanted to like the pixel watch, but i also train more than 12 years already and when i put this watch on my hand it just looks so...feminine. Sorry i dont used another word , but it really does on my wrist :S .. its not only the size that is kinda small, but also the form factor is ummm not manly enough for me lol. Im not a G - shock fan or anything , but i do wear garmin epix , fenix and forerunner and they all sit very good unlike pixel watch :S I hope they introduce 2 different versions , the same size and form for the fans and also something like more sport looking and rugged a bit.
your day in the life with google pixel 8 pro is pretty good must say.....pixel phones have come a long way...only thing if they switch to snapdragon processors now that samsung s24 wih snapdragon is promising lot of AI tech and ML......idk what is stopping google from using those processor .due to the processor pixel phones are not meant for heavy gaming ....can you do a battery drain and zoom test in various conditions using the iphone 15 pro max with this ..would like to see that as well....nice work👍
Honestly it gets a lot of hate but I play cod mobile on this phone no problem and overall seems snappy. It gets a little warmer than my iPhone but I haven't noticed any sluggish performance yet.
Modem and anthenas of this phone makes it hard to recommend, Bluetooth and wifi also sucks compared with one plus, Samsung or Apple, ive tried 6 different 7 pros and two 8 pros and they all have different issues related with connectivity
OK, this is my first time watching one of your videos and it was really good. But I'm curious...Sometimes you sound British, sometimes Scottish and most of the time you sound American, where are you from? And yeah, I am an ignorant American. 😂
Im English born grew up in Scotland and have worked for an American company a while plus I grew up at an international boarding school. Now am about to move to Canada so it’s a mix for sure.
This video is so well made, bravo! Just a question: I’m an Apple person but I’m seriously considering switching-Google’s software is just so good, and I love that design. How would you rate your experience with social media usage? I’m a heavy Instagram-twitter-WhatsApp user-is it a smooth experience? Is it choppy? I’m just worried for that. And also, the emojis of the android os really bother me 😅 is there any way we can download a Google or Twitter emoji pack to use instead? Thanks!
They are both smooth when scrolling and liking posts but when posting photos and especially videos to either a story or your profile the quality is hit pretty bad on android in general. Also there isnt anywhere near as much customisation when making a story on android compared with on the iPhone. People always ask me why I go back to the iPhone and as a content creator quality of posts is really important to me as it’s my job. If this doesn’t apply to you, I would say it’s definitely good enough for the every person to post and share with friends
@@MattRobb ooo that may be a miss for me. I’m a media student and I always post on stories. I really want this phone as my main phone but if I always fall back to my iPhone to do my main job then it may be a problem. What about battery life-battery charging? How is it?
@greentea0956 Battery life is similar to the iPhone maybe slightly not as good but mainly because the screen goes much brighter on the pixel. I personally like the screen on the pixel better. Charging is also faster on the pixel plus you have reverse wireless charging so you can charge your earphones on the back of your phone.
@@MattRobb last question, promise: have you honestly been using this phone regularly ever since you got it? If so, has it been deteriorating? people say pixels have a history of getting worse over time (battery life, performance, etc.)
My Pixel 8 Pro has a very good battery for ordinary work days, still get 60ish % at night, BUT seeing you travel day trip it looks its battery wouldn't hold hours of google maps with screen brightness at max under the sun + camera. Should I swap it with a OnePlus 12 the behemoth of battery?
I used to have pixel 3a, and I used the hotspot during the evening all the time, and it was quick and steady and never heat up. It is the iPhone 13 I'm using now that keep heating up when using hotspot and drain the battery quickly. It is very strange to me... is the new pixel phone going backward now? And pictures taken by iPhone 13 are worse than pixel 3a by the way.
@thomasconway95 I actually did a video recently of a device half the price with a snapdragon 8 gen 2 chip which is crazy. Snapdragon is definitely a better benchmark score but in every day use I haven’t noticed any bad performance
@@MattRobb seems to me Tensor's specific weakness is cell radio and related activities. We're lucky in the UK it doesn't get that warm so we're less affected by the overheating. I really enjoy your day in the life videos. Waiting for my 4a to die so I can pick up a 7a.
@thomasconway95 I noticed a lot of people from hot countries commented saying either signal was trash or it overheats and you’re right in the UK I haven’t experience either
Honestly just comes to preference, I've been with Samsung since galaxy note 4 ,this year finally tried something else. Got the pixel fold. Way better pictures and less bugs already has AI. Better Samsung in my experience. #Teampixel
I find it a bit odd that you barely even mentioned or used the video boost feature for the low light video. I mean that's the main attraction of the feature in the first place
I used it for the shot of Big Bens bell going off. I mentioned I turned on the video enhancement feature but it only updated and popped up for me near the end of the night. It gradually has been rolling out and the option wasn’t there earlier on in my day.
Would love to buy this phone (great camera, great looks (especially the blue) and the AI functions are awesome. The only thing that kills is is the battery/charging speed. It wouldn't be a problem if the battery was great and charging was slow (like the iPhone), but the Pixel 8 Pro doesn't seem to have both. They used the same 4G/5G modem of last years model and it's a battery killer. on Wi-Fi only it's much better.
Been watching YT, Shorts, TikTok all day and at 2am ... It's at 40% - You're never going to get optimal battery life if you don't daily drive the Pixel. It's just a matter of it learning your habits.
Amazon Fresh system depended on low cost engineering in India with humans manually keeping track of the items you pick up and return. the AI in this case was Actually Indian Engineer
hello everyone, could P8P owners tell me whether or not they hear a clicking noise when you hold the phone to your ear at the level of the lenses and you lightly shake the phone from left to right , from front to back or up and down... It sounds like a maraca sound and it's not too normal it seems...
Question. Does anyone have a clicking sound on their pixel 8 pro while you shake it left and right?? I did drop mine with the a case and the phone did look and function fine but when i took it out the case and shaked it left and right i could hear a bit of light clicking sound around where the camera is. I dont know if it always have that even before i dropped it with the case or its originally supposed to be like that? Thanks for the great review!😊
The Pixel is a beautiful phone - it is and always has been amazing through its many iterations, but the battery is a killer for me. Been an iPhone guy since they came out - but every now and then I switch to the Pixel to try it out but everytime I end up sending it back to Google for a refund and I go back to the iPhone. Sort it out Google.
I was supposed to get pixel 8 pro but i didn't 😅 instead i get s23 ultra from S20Ultra, i didn't like S20Ultra exynos at all. Lucky i didn't get pixel 8 pro because of the battery problem. I learned from TH-camr mistakes 😅 Who knows i might get Google or Samsung or Vivo or Xiaomi in the next 3 or 4 years. As long as android then it is okay
Can anyone suggest me which phone to buy? Real iPhone 15 or pixel 8 and samsung s23. I am still an Android user so I don't know much about iPhone. So can anyone tell me which one would be best please?
I recently switched to Pixel 8 Pro from iPhone and I'm incredibly satisfied! For a more powerhouse experience of course Samsung S23 would be a good choice but keep in mind that Pixel's camera is excellent and since it's Google's own device, Android gets updates FIRST before any other Android device. I'm really into the Pixel's AI features, which are it's key selling point as well.
If you’re going for the iPhone, be prepared to take a few months to really adapt (and potentially frustratingly so cuz that was me). Just like switching to a different computer system altogether, it’s going to take some time adjusting to how the iPhone works. You’ll criticize it at first for its inefficient placement of things and it’s way of functioning, then you get used to it and find ways to navigate faster, then you realize that the extra steps aren’t really a big deal (like $100 to a millionaire in a good way)… and then you finally pick up where the iPhone truly shines. This gets facilitated faster if you also join the Apple ecosystem, but that’s something you pick up over time if you choose to do so. If you’re into video recording, the main drawback is the floating orbs from any light source at night. Updates are relatively frequent. The nice thing is you don’t have to wait your turn for your update because all iPhones within 5 years get the same update at once. My 14 pro and my parents’ 12 pro max get the same update pretty much on the same day. This includes security updates and feature updates. The final thing (especially as someone who came from Android): you learn to stop caring about who got such features first or that Apple tries to sound like they have something never seen before. You just focus instead of what you got. Then you look back and see all these Apple and Android fanboys who argue or criticize things on a superficial level, calling each other isheep or fandroids as shallow “children” who haven’t matured yet to truly understand both sides at a deeper level. People will say that Apple is an extremely closed system where you don’t have much control over it like limited customizations. My suggestion is to think of it as one less thing to bother worrying about since it’ll be taken care of. It’s like understanding how your employee works and adapting to their work ethic to bring out the best in them while achieving the goal together, then letting it do its job while you focus on something else. Like a good supervisor. Or better yet, imagine it was someone you’re in a relationship with: you adapt to their quirks and adjust to how your partner does things. Android beats iPhone here if you prefer to have Android be an extension of yourself by having it adapt to you and setting it up exactly how you want it to look and function (Tony Stark’s AI assistant Jarvis in the Iron Man movies). iPhone will be more like adapting to a person since you can’t exactly force someone to change who they are (Tony Stark’s love interest, Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies). With all that said, I myself am switching to Android because I want to explore how far Android has come along since 2018. I’m just stuck between getting the p8p or waiting for the s24u from Samsung 🤔 because it will need to have reliable connectivity (and I’m reading that p8p has some issues there with suburban areas due to a weak modem.
I charge mine overnight yeah. Most phones have adaptive charging so it will stop charging at 80% and charge the remaining amount one the early morning before you wake up
Okay I woke up at 8am but then had to film the shot of me waking up so took a little bit longer. Other than the the whole rest of the video was in the moment but obviously I can’t magic a camera to film me wake up 🤣
Me, looking from my Pixel 8 Pro I am writing before watching: The result is a good phone, I ordered it in November and it arrived on December 9, since I am from Russia. The problem is that some functions are not available in Russia, and future ones will not be either. And some functions are simply useless. The most important thing: autonomy is not the best, you will have to configure it well. It also gets very hot when using the Internet, but not when connected to Wi-Fi. There are some bugs in the system. From the unimportant: Well, the new functions in the camera are as useless as possible, also useless functions are video improvement (because it doesn’t really do anything or makes the video worse) and the intelligible speech function (degrades sound quality). But these are unnecessary points.
Doesn't seem so Pro to me I understand you did some things you don't normally do that Day but still the Phone should be able to get you through an entire Day without having to be recharged especially since it's a so called Pro Model. In my opinion the Pro Model of Phones aren't really worth it I Root my Phones I always have and I most likely always will and I install Magisk Modules and some APK's to help improve Battery life and Performance and by doing that I can get a full Day of use out of my Google Pixel 8 sometimes more.
I have a 7 pro, the battery never lasts a day after just reasonable use. Avoid these phones, the batteries are terrible. It's not half as good as my cheap Chinese phone Xiaomi which cost half the money and still has a longer battery life than my 3 years younger pixel. The camera is the only good thing about these phones. I will never buy one of these ever again.
a good phone with a terrible modem. I have been using my p8 for 2 weeks and can't recommend this device to the people, who has business trips regularly due to the battery drain.
I have this phone and take business trips within the US regularly. Battery lasts 7 hours on normal use. Great camera and excellent software. I even play my graphic heavy games on it on high settings, and not once did it get hot or stutter. I will continue to recommend this phone. Best phone of the year.
Modem is fine. It might be your carrier the one with the issues. P8pro here and zero issues. The cellular signal actually improved compared to the p7 I had.
If your signal is weak the phone needs to work harder to find a good signal so battery will drain faster it might be better to switch to lte instead of 5g till you know your in a good 5g spot
Google backed this phone up for the next 7 years because they know it’s not gonna last 2 years before it’s completely destroyed!!!! Lmao IPhone is the way to go😅

Cana you give the link of the wallpaper used in this video
Great phone. I've had it since it's release.
What about battery ?
pixels have this wierd issue with overheating on hotspot and wireless android auto, while also draining battery fast, any1 has any soln? im on pixel 6
Iam a heavy user... and i dont know if the tensor is realy that good!?
Been watching YT, Shorts, TikTok all day and at 2am ... It's at 40% - You're never going to get optimal battery life if you don't daily drive the Pixel. It's just a matter of it learning your habits.
I’ve been daily driving it for a month now 🤷🏻♂️
Pixel 8 pro❤
That Bay Blue tho😍🩵
my guy your place and house lokks beautiful, where do you livee??
I live in Ambleside the Lake District
Thank you 🙏🏻
Pixel's improve greatly over time. Using a hotspot is not wise on any device, it will drain. You shoulda plugged it in on the Train.-)
Amazon Fresh system depended on low cost engineering in India with humans manually keeping track of the items you pick up and return.
the AI in this case was Actually Indian Engineer
Best video and review 🎉🎉🎉
4g/5g has insane battery consumption. 8 Pro is wifi phone :)
😕
what music app is it???
Aww you are a fashion model🙃
Which tempered glass are you using?
Quality Video.
What case are you using for the pixel in this video?
The official Google silicon case in bay blue. It’s really nice and almost looks like I don’t have a case on due to it matching the pixel aesthetic
hello everyone, could P8P owners tell me whether or not they hear a clicking noise when you hold the phone to your ear at the level of the lenses and you lightly shake the phone from left to right , from front to back or up and down... It sounds like a maraca sound and it's not too normal it seems...
Yes mine sounds the same
Totally normal, as I guess it may be the ois of the camera rattling.
Hey do you use your phone in dark mode or light mode? and also at what brightness?
I have it auto switch between door and light depending on the time of day. Brightness I max out permanently
Do you use auto brightness or prefer keeping brightness @100% all time?
@optimisticIntrovert in the train it was auto and not maxed out. Out and about it was 100% because it was bright out
Question.
Does anyone have a clicking sound on their pixel 8 pro while you shake it left and right??
I did drop mine with the a case and the phone did look and function fine but when i took it out the case and shaked it left and right i could hear a bit of light clicking sound around where the camera is. I dont know if it always have that even before i dropped it with the case or its originally supposed to be like that?
Thanks for the great review!😊
Mine does the clicks noise too, I’m pretty sure it’s to do with the OIS in the camera system
@@MattRobb
Oh okay. Great!
Thanks 👍
@@MattRobbyes it surely is the camera, same "issue" on my pixel 7 pro
The Pixel is a beautiful phone - it is and always has been amazing through its many iterations, but the battery is a killer for me. Been an iPhone guy since they came out - but every now and then I switch to the Pixel to try it out but everytime I end up sending it back to Google for a refund and I go back to the iPhone. Sort it out Google.
I love my pixel but i do admit the battery drain is crazy but I've found if you switch it from 5G to LTE youll get a little bit better battery.
I was supposed to get pixel 8 pro but i didn't 😅 instead i get s23 ultra from S20Ultra, i didn't like S20Ultra exynos at all. Lucky i didn't get pixel 8 pro because of the battery problem. I learned from TH-camr mistakes 😅
Who knows i might get Google or Samsung or Vivo or Xiaomi in the next 3 or 4 years.
As long as android then it is okay
Day in life with pixel 8 pro.
Whole video shot on iPhone 😅
These vending machines never work with phones. Been on that same situation so many times, I keep my card for that reason.
I tried my card after I took the video and it still didn’t work 🤷🏻♂️
Can someone please share the wallpaper?
Great review! Google still has terrible battery life.
Still use my pixel 6pro 💪
Cool!
Can anyone suggest me which phone to buy? Real iPhone 15 or pixel 8 and samsung s23. I am still an Android user so I don't know much about iPhone. So can anyone tell me which one would be best please?
I recently switched to Pixel 8 Pro from iPhone and I'm incredibly satisfied! For a more powerhouse experience of course Samsung S23 would be a good choice but keep in mind that Pixel's camera is excellent and since it's Google's own device, Android gets updates FIRST before any other Android device. I'm really into the Pixel's AI features, which are it's key selling point as well.
@@jinvid thanks buddy.
S23 or S24 ( Snapdragon version 😅)
If you’re going for the iPhone, be prepared to take a few months to really adapt (and potentially frustratingly so cuz that was me). Just like switching to a different computer system altogether, it’s going to take some time adjusting to how the iPhone works.
You’ll criticize it at first for its inefficient placement of things and it’s way of functioning, then you get used to it and find ways to navigate faster, then you realize that the extra steps aren’t really a big deal (like $100 to a millionaire in a good way)… and then you finally pick up where the iPhone truly shines. This gets facilitated faster if you also join the Apple ecosystem, but that’s something you pick up over time if you choose to do so.
If you’re into video recording, the main drawback is the floating orbs from any light source at night.
Updates are relatively frequent. The nice thing is you don’t have to wait your turn for your update because all iPhones within 5 years get the same update at once. My 14 pro and my parents’ 12 pro max get the same update pretty much on the same day. This includes security updates and feature updates.
The final thing (especially as someone who came from Android): you learn to stop caring about who got such features first or that Apple tries to sound like they have something never seen before. You just focus instead of what you got. Then you look back and see all these Apple and Android fanboys who argue or criticize things on a superficial level, calling each other isheep or fandroids as shallow “children” who haven’t matured yet to truly understand both sides at a deeper level.
People will say that Apple is an extremely closed system where you don’t have much control over it like limited customizations. My suggestion is to think of it as one less thing to bother worrying about since it’ll be taken care of. It’s like understanding how your employee works and adapting to their work ethic to bring out the best in them while achieving the goal together, then letting it do its job while you focus on something else. Like a good supervisor. Or better yet, imagine it was someone you’re in a relationship with: you adapt to their quirks and adjust to how your partner does things.
Android beats iPhone here if you prefer to have Android be an extension of yourself by having it adapt to you and setting it up exactly how you want it to look and function (Tony Stark’s AI assistant Jarvis in the Iron Man movies).
iPhone will be more like adapting to a person since you can’t exactly force someone to change who they are (Tony Stark’s love interest, Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies).
With all that said, I myself am switching to Android because I want to explore how far Android has come along since 2018. I’m just stuck between getting the p8p or waiting for the s24u from Samsung 🤔 because it will need to have reliable connectivity (and I’m reading that p8p has some issues there with suburban areas due to a weak modem.
@@SilenMonser Thanks buddy for your wonderful reply and for giving so much of your time.😊😊
You’ve done a lot & I feel if you didn’t push it , you’d get way better battery
For sure especially making this video and filming a lot on the phone burns the battery
Android is always better than ios 👍
Lol sometimes
no
Haha nope
It seems like fandroids will eventually foam at the mouth if they can't mention the iphone at least once a day 💀
Not every android even flagships too they're just better in some areas not overall i use both android and iPhone
East or West samsung is the best 👌 👍
Love it!
Where are you from
Too much gadgeds these days , phones, laptops, rings, smartwatches etc, they all make pretty much same thing..nice video though
I am running a tech channel tbf
Not bad
Is it okay to charge your phone overnight?
I charge mine overnight yeah. Most phones have adaptive charging so it will stop charging at 80% and charge the remaining amount one the early morning before you wake up
England has 3g 😱
Google should use Snapdragon processors to extend battery life and performance if the want to compete with iphone and android flagships
So no one's questioning an alarm for 8:12
Okay I woke up at 8am but then had to film the shot of me waking up so took a little bit longer. Other than the the whole rest of the video was in the moment but obviously I can’t magic a camera to film me wake up 🤣
@@MattRobb Fair enough I just expected that to be somewhere in the first few comments 😂
Me, looking from my Pixel 8 Pro
I am writing before watching: The result is a good phone, I ordered it in November and it arrived on December 9, since I am from Russia. The problem is that some functions are not available in Russia, and future ones will not be either. And some functions are simply useless. The most important thing: autonomy is not the best, you will have to configure it well. It also gets very hot when using the Internet, but not when connected to Wi-Fi. There are some bugs in the system.
From the unimportant: Well, the new functions in the camera are as useless as possible, also useless functions are video improvement (because it doesn’t really do anything or makes the video worse) and the intelligible speech function (degrades sound quality). But these are unnecessary points.
Brushes teeth before breakfast XD
Before and after is a must! It’s so gross to eat food after waking up with a bad taste in your mouth….
🎉
Voice quality on that first video was very bad.
The one with the train in the back? That was a loud shot tbf
Better you thank iPhone for helping you to big part of this video
The battery life is not good 😢
Doesn't seem so Pro to me I understand you did some things you don't normally do that Day but still the Phone should be able to get you through an entire Day without having to be recharged especially since it's a so called Pro Model. In my opinion the Pro Model of Phones aren't really worth it I Root my Phones I always have and I most likely always will and I install Magisk Modules and some APK's to help improve Battery life and Performance and by doing that I can get a full Day of use out of my Google Pixel 8 sometimes more.
Because you are cute... I will subscribe to your channel. ✌️😜
5:21 shqipe spotted
Huh?
I have a 7 pro, the battery never lasts a day after just reasonable use. Avoid these phones, the batteries are terrible.
It's not half as good as my cheap Chinese phone Xiaomi which cost half the money and still has a longer battery life than my 3 years younger pixel. The camera is the only good thing about these phones. I will never buy one of these ever again.
seems like a £200 phone with a nice software. I don't see how this can go up against an iPhone from 3 years ago.
a good phone with a terrible modem. I have been using my p8 for 2 weeks and can't recommend this device to the people, who has business trips regularly due to the battery drain.
I have this phone and take business trips within the US regularly. Battery lasts 7 hours on normal use. Great camera and excellent software. I even play my graphic heavy games on it on high settings, and not once did it get hot or stutter. I will continue to recommend this phone. Best phone of the year.
I love this phone and would recommend it to everyone. To each of their own.
I am sorry you can't recommend the pixel 8, I have the 8 Pro and I don't have any problems at all with the modem. Don't Know what your problem is.
Modem is fine. It might be your carrier the one with the issues. P8pro here and zero issues. The cellular signal actually improved compared to the p7 I had.
If your signal is weak the phone needs to work harder to find a good signal so battery will drain faster it might be better to switch to lte instead of 5g till you know your in a good 5g spot
Is he an American whose accent is changing to British or a Brit with an Americanized accent? So confused.
Google backed this phone up for the next 7 years because they know it’s not gonna last 2 years before it’s completely destroyed!!!! Lmao IPhone is the way to go😅
