I am a pixel 8 user right now I'm in Vancouver, Canada. I didn't face any network issues but My friends who has iPhone 15 and they face network issues here. The performance is good for day to day tasks. Buying a pixel phone you will have lots of bugs but after 4 to 6 months you will have a bug free phone. I faced a heating issue on the back camera bar during video call if I was on call for more than 40 mins. Other than no heating issue because here in Vancouver weather is about 10 to 14° C right now so in India the phone would get hot. I would recommend buying a pixel phone if you are not a gamer, you use it for day to day tasks and for long term use since it supports 7 yrs software experience. Finally this phone is for someone who is a casual user and who doesn't change their phone every two years .
I've been telling everyone, it is the 5G modem used in Samsung manufacturered processors that holds them back. They are highly inefficient, drain a lot of battery, heat up and drop calls. Until Samsung figures out these issues, it is very stupid of someone to buy pixel phones or Samsung with exynos. That is why I got my S23 yesterday, instead of S24. Loving the sdg 8 gen 2
True bro. I bought s24 at launch. When connected to wifi, the battery life, thermals and performance are all top notch. But when on mobile data, the phone heats up during casual use, the performance throttles and battery life takes a hit.
I bought the Pixel 6a last year in July, after a day of using it I knew this phone won't run 5G properly. Turned on LTE only and it works fine, but yeah 5G would've been better. Good to know you are enjoying your S23, its a lovely phone 100%
So yesterday me and my friends went camping in a jungle we had pixel 7 pro, iphone 12, iphone 15, samsung s 23 ultra. So iphone 15 had the best network reception, after that to my surprise the pixel 7 pro was the second best after that 23 ultra and then iphone 12. But at the same time 5g connectivity on pixel is straight trash.
If Google works on there chipset and pricing I am sure they will dominate the Indian market. Plus the app camera support like ios will be a Cheery on top as pixel is a Google's phone, so why not 🤷
Still no.... Their customer support and service is pathetic to the point, you'll rethink your decision of buying expensive crap with no aftersale value.
@@shiveshgupta221 yes you are absolutely right and I also believe selling a phone to a customer should not be the only motive for any smartphone brand they should pay equal attention to after sales services.

Using the pixel 8 mint version and yes i dont play games and dont use 5g. Thats the only reason i guess i dont face any issues with my unit. battery gives me 6hr 30 min to 7hr sot, so pretty much happy with the phone. All i can say is pixel phones are not for everybody, there are better options but as a stock android my only options are motorola and pixel and we all know how updates are with moto. (bought my pixel 8 for 52k after exchanging my pixel 4a).
Another close to stock option is nothing, much better than pixel (coming from a previous pixel user). Software support is still good not as good as pixel but still good. Also much better 5g connectivity and battery life.
Upgraded to s23 from pixel 6a way better than pixle even it has less battery capacity im getting better battery backup in s23 than pixel 6a now i got to know processor and optimisation matters
I'm from Ethiopia and I like y'all's videos cuze they are not just reviews but in many ways educational and help me understand the industry even after taking a break from tech videos for a while. Good job.
I own a pixel 8. One thing no tech reviewer talks about is Pixel 8 does not charge (very slow - 10-25% per hour speed) if the ambient i.e. room temperature goes above 35 degree C. Consider that before buying, pretty frustrating coz summer temperature is always high up and if you like traveling - you can't control ambient temperatures and the device won't charge even with power bank. People with iPhone told me that it's the same for them with their iPhones, but this is my first time using a flagship - and I don't like it when my phone doesn't charge. Additionally, it's not about a faulty device, if you search on reddit - you'll find a lot of reviews on the same thing about charging speed. Edit: About the network/5G thing: It connects to 5G if you force "NR only", but India doesn't have VoNR hence you'll not be able to call unless you switch back to 4G whenever you wanna call or receive one.
@@hellofriend6834 It works only for a few minutes (2 max) and the speed will go back down again. What I personally do is I keep it on charge in front of water based air cooler (not AC), works always.
good for you, its not same case for everyone. Network connectivity issue is real and can destroy your usage if you rely on 5g with poor network. I just use it on wifi mostly and i get great bb, but the moment i switch to 5g things go downhill, like 3 to 3.5hr SOT, insane heat, so i just turned off 5g and using LTE all the time.
I am using Pixel 6a for more than a year. Initially there was little heating issues but now it has optimized everything. No heat, clean software, smooth performance. I would recommene that if you have never used pixel, don't trust on negative youtube videos, first use it then you will realize the real performance and feel. I am shifting to pixel 8 as I started loving pixel
I have used a pixel phone for almost a year. But I faced off network issues with almost nothing. But sometimes it feels hot when I am in a cellular network. But I love the pixel so much. I think my next phone is also a pixel phone.
I have been a pixel user since pixel 2xl. Now I'm writing this comment through a Pixel 7. And what I can tell everyone is, let's look at it this way: Pixels are like premium sedan cars...whereas Samsung with SD processor is like a rough and tough premium hatchback. Both of them perform well, but in a country like India we need something that can handle everything. Comparing phones with 🚗 s 😂😂I will definitely get some hate...but that is how I see them
I have been using the Pixel 8 for the last 4 months .. Before this I had the Pixel 7 for about a year .. So all I can say is that if you are somebody who considers software experience as a priority then there is nothing in the market that can come close to the pixels .. Although Samsung has upped it's game but it is still a step behind the Pixel experience.. The camera produces natural photos which you can later adjust accordingly to your liking which is much better than those over saturated colour boosted photos .. Although one thing I would say is that the phone tends to heat up during the summer months but there is no performance drop as such .. You can play pretty heavy games for about half an hour and I think that is more than enough for any casual gamer out there .. Plus you get the latest pixel Experience not a one year old flagship as in the case with S23 .. I think this review sums it up for you guys .. So cheers🎉
*I do enjoy using Pixel 8 more.* The software, camera and haptic experience is the best tbh. Although, S23+ which I sold did have better gaming performance in my testing and ran a bit cooler. Pixel 8 feels smoother to use and camera's are superior than even S24 in most cases, forget S23. The selfies are better on S23/S24. The Samsung modem on the Pixel 8 is fine although the SD modem on S23+ was indeed superior and had less heating and battery drain. Pixel 8 stays normal and doesn't heat unless you're pushing games like Genshin. I'm not into gaming btw. Lastly, S23/Pixel 8 are too small for a faster thermal cool-down or heat dissipation irrespective of their Socs. I suggest getting S23+ in sales if want to do gaming as well. Iphone 15 will do better than both of them if can wait till BBD sale. Cheers 🥂
@@deepakaryan1988 I had a Redmi K20 pro, it was exchanged for 4,300 and 1k off for UPI payments and had 1k super coins of flipkart. So the price came down to 40,700 INR
been using a pixel 7a for a few months. some of the issues are heating, battery life and ofcourse network connectivity. Maybe Pixel 9 can overcome these problems.
I m using pixel 8 and pretty okay with it as long as it covers security with Titan chip; pls make video about it why it's important as more and more people are getting scammed by online fraudsters these days and being victim of that in past had to switch to pixel or apple
I have a experienced great battery life around 6hrs sot moderate usage , also didnt face any kind of connectivity issue or call drops till date. Yeah one thing i have noticed it does get a bit warm while heavy usage on mobile data under the sun , but still it's way better than S23 for sure
Was a Pixel 7 user, loved the phone for it's cameras and UI but due to the constant heating and network issues, had to switch to S23. Will only go back to Pixels once these basics are fixed although i miss Pixel's camera
I have been using pixel 6a for the past 2 years. As everyone knows Pixel is offering a good camera, AI features and early updates. And please note down that pixel will also gives you bugs, connectivity issues, very low performance, heating issues, battery drain, touch sensitivity issues. So at least it's better to avoid buying pixel phones right now.
You're saying "hot" but the thermometer says 35°. That's not hot. That's not even warm. That's an acceptable number. Still not gonna vote for Tensor but say what you show otherwise it's misleading.
I have been using Pixel 7a for 1 year, Many a times faced network issue and my pixel phone is switching between 5G and 4G and some times it takes some time to connect network. Picture processing time also not so fast and some times it makes picture more darker. Good thing about Pixel phone is that no Software bug or Lag. Not even 1 time unintended reset which i mostly faced in Motorola,Samsung and Xiaomi in the last 10 years.
Yep been using the P8 since dec and got the phone near 45k at that time, the phone has been rock solid in almost every department and agree with you it can handle heavy tasks well but can heat up too but the catch here is in my case is it does all those on Mobile Data the performance on WiFi is top notch. Not aware of your network problems as I didn't face any because in some areas where the other devices were not getting 4g connectivity while travelling that too in Delhi, I was on 5g most of the time. One more thing I've been using this device on a beta build itself so my experience is of beta rather than the stable one. Even if someone wants to get this device as low as under 40k they can as Flipkart was giving heavy discounts on the rose gold version of the phone. In case anyone has any other questions or anything I missed you can comment below.
So its a good phone, right i was confused between p8 and s23, i am looking for a good camera phone as i am very much camera centric and often gaming at times. And wish this last 4 years without much of performance issue
I have been using S22 since 8 months, and the 3x zoom camera realy helps. Beforè using that I had been a midrange phone user. After switching to S22, What I really got is a beautiful phone and good camera. when one buys a smartphone camera is the most important factor which decides the price of smartphone. May be Google should start adding a zoom camera to its non-pro models.
I have been using pixel from the 1 days! And you're 100% correct the network connectivity suckss in the pixels. But i will still buy it pixel over other phones.
I really liked the software experience, the little exclusives that make Pixel standout from the rest of Android. But oh my god is the battery bad. It can hold more than 5-6hr screen time and the slow charging makes this issue even worse. The other problem is that you cant get almost any of the cool Pixel exclusive features if you arent in US . But like I said I fell in love with the stock android experience for the Pixel. But sadly it needs a more powerful and efficient chip which will only probably happen in Pixel 10 after they switch to Snapdragon
i bought the pixel 8 hazel 256GB for 32K with exchange and bank discount in this sale, which is a great deal and this phone gets 6 more years of software updates, which is BIG win.
Well i bought pixel 8 last year December at an astounding price of 41k, obviously after exchanging my OnePlus 8t(cause green line are mandatory in OP).
It's been over 1+ years of me using the Pixel 7 pro.. does agree to the point that yes it's one of the most irritating processor (G2) but still it does it's job of getting me throughout the day with still some 5%-10% juice remaining in it. Tbh, looking forward at the launch of the Pixel 9 series...
Had a Pixel 6 Pro in Canada on a good network provider, and I had a nightmare of an experience with network connectivity issues. WiFi-6 would never connect the first time, and the cell phone network would constantly lose its connection completely. Even switching between 5G-4G is a far better option than showing no network connectivity at all. The only solution was to toggle Flight Mode. Since then, I have vowed never to get into Pixel phones until they are using Tensor made by Samsung.
Iphones also have a lot of network issues. My 3 year old realme phone works fine without lagging in the network or dropping calls. The heating issues on these flagships are a major concern. Not sure how they are unable to match the basis of the budget phone in a flagship.
I think Pixel 8 is for anyone who is clear in mind that he/she will use the phone for atleast 5 years. Then only you can extract every bit of 50,000 bucks. For everyone else it's still expensive.
The biggest Con in Pixel which you didn't talked about is there after sales service, for which I will never recommend others to buy pixel . I had this experience with my Pixel 6A
I own the pixel 7 and it has the exact same issues. Especially the heating on mobile data. The 5g modem is just bad and considering my previous Samsung which was one of the initial batch of 5g devices didn't have these issues makes this look worse for a company's "flagship"
"Everything that the pixel 8 offers plus the A.I. features" Everything Samsung is showing like the circle to search and translate is already supported on my pixel 6a😂. Somehow every youtuber is facing network issues(or the sponser issues) I travel a lot and in the Heartland sometimes,NEVER faced network issue. Samsung and apple are paying a lot of adds so guess from where that money is going to come. One of the legends of tech TH-cam is MKBHD and he does blind camera tests and all over the world people choose pixel pics,am gonna leave it at that. Cons of pixel- Not a gaming phone. Made in Vietnam(would prefer make in india) Battery drains fast. Pros. Beats Samsung ultra and iPhone pro cameras(watch MKBHD blind test) All the best of AI. -summarise -translate -magic eraser and many more.
just bought the pixel 8, upgraded from S21FE(exynos), wanted a small handy phone, with good enough battery life, and some new experience, so something other than Samsung, and didn't find any point in buying an iPhone 15 because of no ecosystem, so got the pixel 8 for 40k with exchange and card discount, been a week, till now battery is very good, camera is very good, software is very good, there is some heating but not much, no lag, full flagship experience. s21FE was giving me just 1-1.5 hours of SOT on full charge :(
Hi, I need your input in buying: Nothing 2 or Edge 50 Pro. I do not need any fancy gimmicks. I am a balanced user, usually keep my phones for 3+ years, and do not play games on my phone. That said I want a daily driver phone with good reception
Can we get a camera comparison of the pixel 8/8 Pro with the Moto edge 50 Pro? Will be interesting to see how much a budget phone can complete with the flagships
I'm a tech guy who loves checking out smartphones. While the Pixel has cool features, it has some problems. It heats up too much, the network connection isn't always reliable, and editing photos on it is slow. Plus, they stopped offering free Google Photos backups, which was a bummer. If Google fixes these issues, I'd be more likely to buy one. But for now, I'm not sold on the Pixel.
Say strictly "No to Pixel phones." I purchased a pixel 7 at the launching time Oct 2022, within 1yr... I gave it to the service center for heating issues, call drop, network issues, camera problems, auto redial (even I have not optioned) and next within 6 months the mobile motherboard is gone, The quotation received for repair is 46,000 INR. I maintained the mobile well even the service center person identified me a second time when I went there, he said "u mobile is pixel 7, I have never seen such maintenance, nicely" but no use. Now I decided to switch to another mobile, decided not to buy pixel phones for life time.
Reviewers and users express this common Problem related to Network Connectivity... seems like Google/pixel is not listening to the customers.... or the new features substituting this network issue
Are people seeing pixel 8 charging incredibly slow lately ? When I bought the device, it was alright and charged t 100% in 1 hour 20 minutes or so. I still see a GaN PPS charger which charges at 30W, but the device now takes over 2 hours.
Just buy the s23. My cousins pixel 7a doesn't last 5 hours and it takes about 2.5 to fully charge. Whenever his hotspot is on the phone heats a lot. Software is nothing as comparrd to Samsung's one ui. One ui is simply more feature rich.
that's my same thoughts, I have Pixel 6A, and it's butter smooth, but battery and network quality is a trash. I have to put it on airplane mode on off to get mobile data working. I have read a lot of reddit posts, and all blame it on Exynos. They are the bad fish in the ocean, making all pixels (6+) bad. I'm a huge Pixel fan but wouldn't buy it till they stop using exynos
Sir galaxy s24 whole series ke bhi kuch videos nikalo na, I am bit confused ki s24 series wala Lena chahiye ya fir s23 series, s23 series me dikkt hai ki vo 3-4 saal tk ke updates denge or jabki s24 series 7 saal tk denge to fir s24 series ki resell value zada hongi compare to s23 series, or kya s24 with Exynos sach mai long term ke liye hai ya fir s24 ultra hi Lena chahiye long term ke liye???
Every reviewer gets most of the camera part wrong. Samsung's colour science and the processing is so bad in some situations and has pathetic camera interface. Pixel 8 blows Samsung imo.
Hi, Nothing Phone 2 OR Motorola Edge 50 Pro - for daily use with good network reception. Not into gaming or media consumption on phone. Previous device was Oneplus 7T, typically keeps phones for 3+ years. Considering Moto for 28K and NP2 for 35K. Recommendations?
The only good thing I like about a pixel is the video quality i find the pixel normal 4k video way better And idk why tech reviewers advise pixel for natural picture but pixel do soo.much processing it looks unnatural ( I have pixel 7) I find samsung pictures way better
Which phone should I buy? Budget 30-40k I am currently using OnePlus 6T.. my daily usage is 7-8 applications like instagram, whatsapp, X, Teams, Outlook etc.. I don't play games on phone...i travel a lot so need a phone with good battery life..And i use camera extensively
Im using a pixel whicu i fot from US and now planning ro sell in 45... Its 6 month but but cant claim warranty in India... I think so much distractions if u are a guy who uses office apps also...
I know that tensor chipset has been optimized by google but still, using pixel 8 in a southeast asian summer heat is unbearable. The phone will easily gets hot and it's uncomfortable to the hands.
You forgot to mention one thing the only reason to buy pixels shouldn't be to enjoy the Android features just earlier I've seen many features running way smoother and ironically more efficiently on my Pixel6a then in my friend's S23fe I don't quite that but it's good now after the lastest update why I'm comparing to fe ? It has the legendary Exynos 😅
Used samsung for past 8 years,currently using a 3yrs old s20 fe 5g .now thinking of buying either pixel 8 or s23 (256gbs), my requirements camera ,battery, connectivity, casual games like Rc 24 . Which one would be better or else wait for nothing 3
Could you suggest earphones with better call quality? Despite watching TH-cam reviews, the earphones I've bought keep malfunctioning, even ones under 5000 rupees like Realme Buds Air 3. They constantly stop working, and despite multiple trips to the service center during the warranty period, the issue persists. Now considering spending 20k on Samsung or AirPods Pro, but worried they might also fail after a year, resulting in a significant loss. Can you share your experience with AirPods Pro? Do they last longer? I'm hoping for something that will last at least 3-4 years if I am going to spend 20k.
damn i thought 8A,, I used the 8A for a brief moment at best buy... its nice... but price is 499$ and pixel 8 is 549... google needs to price well its product lol

Although one thing I would say is that the phone tends to heat up during the summer months but there is no performance drop as such .. You can play pretty heavy games for about half an hour and I think that is more than enough for any casual gamer out there .. Plus you get the latest pixel Experience not a one year old flagship as in the case with S23 .. I think this review sums it up for you guys .. So cheers🎉
30 mins enough of gaming ? What the acctual fuck are you talking bro ?
What about the network?
@@kanhaiyasharma1998 if u travel by trains a lot then it might affect you a little but in the city there is absolutely no issues at all
*I do enjoy using Pixel 8 more.* The software, camera and haptic experience is the best tbh. Although, S23+ which I sold did have better gaming performance in my testing and ran a bit cooler. Pixel 8 feels smoother to use and camera's are superior than even S24 in most cases, forget S23. The selfies are better on S23/S24. The Samsung modem on the Pixel 8 is fine although the SD modem on S23+ was indeed superior and had less heating and battery drain. Pixel 8 stays normal and doesn't heat unless you're pushing games like Genshin. I'm not into gaming btw.
Lastly, S23/Pixel 8 are too small for a faster thermal cool-down or heat dissipation irrespective of their Socs. I suggest getting S23+ in sales if want to do gaming as well. Iphone 15 will do better than both of them if can wait till BBD sale.
Cheers 🥂
Bought Galaxy S23 for 41K with exchange and offers..
How?
@@deepakaryan1988 I had a Redmi K20 pro, it was exchanged for 4,300 and 1k off for UPI payments and had 1k super coins of flipkart. So the price came down to 40,700 INR
been using a pixel 7a for a few months. some of the issues are heating, battery life and ofcourse network connectivity. Maybe Pixel 9 can overcome these problems.
I m using pixel 8 and pretty okay with it as long as it covers security with Titan chip; pls make video about it why it's important as more and more people are getting scammed by online fraudsters these days and being victim of that in past had to switch to pixel or apple
I have a experienced great battery life around 6hrs sot moderate usage , also didnt face any kind of connectivity issue or call drops till date. Yeah one thing i have noticed it does get a bit warm while heavy usage on mobile data under the sun , but still it's way better than S23 for sure
Was a Pixel 7 user, loved the phone for it's cameras and UI but due to the constant heating and network issues, had to switch to S23. Will only go back to Pixels once these basics are fixed although i miss Pixel's camera
I have been using pixel 6a for the past 2 years. As everyone knows Pixel is offering a good camera, AI features and early updates. And please note down that pixel will also gives you bugs, connectivity issues, very low performance, heating issues, battery drain, touch sensitivity issues. So at least it's better to avoid buying pixel phones right now.
Google can really compete with Apple. They have the foundation. It's time for the Pixel team to polish things up and keep learning and growing.
You're saying "hot" but the thermometer says 35°. That's not hot. That's not even warm. That's an acceptable number.
Still not gonna vote for Tensor but say what you show otherwise it's misleading.
I have been using Pixel 7a for 1 year, Many a times faced network issue and my pixel phone is switching between 5G and 4G and some times it takes some time to connect network.
Picture processing time also not so fast and some times it makes picture more darker.
Good thing about Pixel phone is that no Software bug or Lag.
Not even 1 time unintended reset which i mostly faced in Motorola,Samsung and Xiaomi in the last 10 years.
Does it work fine just on 4G with 5G off?
@@yuvaryugam3434
Yeah, It works on 4G.
I thought this video was abt pixel 8a confusing title
Yep been using the P8 since dec and got the phone near 45k at that time, the phone has been rock solid in almost every department and agree with you it can handle heavy tasks well but can heat up too but the catch here is in my case is it does all those on Mobile Data the performance on WiFi is top notch. Not aware of your network problems as I didn't face any because in some areas where the other devices were not getting 4g connectivity while travelling that too in Delhi, I was on 5g most of the time.
One more thing I've been using this device on a beta build itself so my experience is of beta rather than the stable one.
Even if someone wants to get this device as low as under 40k they can as Flipkart was giving heavy discounts on the rose gold version of the phone.
In case anyone has any other questions or anything I missed you can comment below.
So its a good phone, right i was confused between p8 and s23, i am looking for a good camera phone as i am very much camera centric and often gaming at times. And wish this last 4 years without much of performance issue
I have been using S22 since 8 months, and the 3x zoom camera realy helps. Beforè using that I had been a midrange phone user. After switching to S22, What I really got is a beautiful phone and good camera. when one buys a smartphone camera is the most important factor which decides the price of smartphone. May be Google should start adding a zoom camera to its non-pro models.
It's not camera it's CPU and screen which adds price
Love you man. You're the reason I'm watching Techwiser. ❤
bought s23 2 days ago. performance good. camera good. BB above avg. UI smooth. one ui amazing.
I have been using pixel from the 1 days! And you're 100% correct the network connectivity suckss in the pixels. But i will still buy it pixel over other phones.
The Galaxy S23 is selling for 47K, why in the world would anyone go for the Pixel 8A?
8 gen 2 For galaxy versus tensor g3😂
I love the design
I really liked the software experience, the little exclusives that make Pixel standout from the rest of Android. But oh my god is the battery bad. It can hold more than 5-6hr screen time and the slow charging makes this issue even worse. The other problem is that you cant get almost any of the cool Pixel exclusive features if you arent in US .
But like I said I fell in love with the stock android experience for the Pixel. But sadly it needs a more powerful and efficient chip which will only probably happen in Pixel 10 after they switch to Snapdragon
i bought the pixel 8 hazel 256GB for 32K with exchange and bank discount in this sale, which is a great deal and this phone gets 6 more years of software updates, which is BIG win.
Well i bought pixel 8 last year December at an astounding price of 41k, obviously after exchanging my OnePlus 8t(cause green line are mandatory in OP).
I bought 256gb unlocked from US and m Happy with it... Bought it below 50k
It's been over 1+ years of me using the Pixel 7 pro.. does agree to the point that yes it's one of the most irritating processor (G2) but still it does it's job of getting me throughout the day with still some 5%-10% juice remaining in it. Tbh, looking forward at the launch of the Pixel 9 series...
That google logo in the thumbnail looks so cool, i want it on my pixel now
Had a Pixel 6 Pro in Canada on a good network provider, and I had a nightmare of an experience with network connectivity issues. WiFi-6 would never connect the first time, and the cell phone network would constantly lose its connection completely. Even switching between 5G-4G is a far better option than showing no network connectivity at all. The only solution was to toggle Flight Mode. Since then, I have vowed never to get into Pixel phones until they are using Tensor made by Samsung.
Iphones also have a lot of network issues. My 3 year old realme phone works fine without lagging in the network or dropping calls. The heating issues on these flagships are a major concern. Not sure how they are unable to match the basis of the budget phone in a flagship.
I think Pixel 8 is for anyone who is clear in mind that he/she will use the phone for atleast 5 years. Then only you can extract every bit of 50,000 bucks. For everyone else it's still expensive.
The biggest Con in Pixel which you didn't talked about is there after sales service, for which I will never recommend others to buy pixel . I had this experience with my Pixel 6A
Why? does your phone need an oil change every month? 😂
I have used Pixel 6a and Pixel 7 for some months. Dont go to reviews ,it actually heats too much. In summer its like hell.
Save your money Plz
I own the pixel 7 and it has the exact same issues. Especially the heating on mobile data. The 5g modem is just bad and considering my previous Samsung which was one of the initial batch of 5g devices didn't have these issues makes this look worse for a company's "flagship"
"Everything that the pixel 8 offers plus the A.I. features"
Everything Samsung is showing like the circle to search and translate is already supported on my pixel 6a😂.
Somehow every youtuber is facing network issues(or the sponser issues)
I travel a lot and in the Heartland sometimes,NEVER faced network issue.
Samsung and apple are paying a lot of adds so guess from where that money is going to come.
One of the legends of tech TH-cam is MKBHD and he does blind camera tests and all over the world people choose pixel pics,am gonna leave it at that.
Cons of pixel-
Not a gaming phone.
Made in Vietnam(would prefer make in india)
Battery drains fast.
Pros.
Beats Samsung ultra and iPhone pro cameras(watch MKBHD blind test)
All the best of AI.
-summarise
-translate
-magic eraser and many more.
Where can I find those awesome spidey walls?
Pixel 8 sale 32k during bbd in Flipkart. Can I buy for long term use.
yes
just bought the pixel 8, upgraded from S21FE(exynos), wanted a small handy phone, with good enough battery life, and some new experience, so something other than Samsung, and didn't find any point in buying an iPhone 15 because of no ecosystem, so got the pixel 8 for 40k with exchange and card discount,
been a week, till now battery is very good, camera is very good, software is very good, there is some heating but not much, no lag, full flagship experience.
s21FE was giving me just 1-1.5 hours of SOT on full charge :(
iOS had the app offload feature since long. That was one thing I missed when I switched to android
6:00 maybe that's why it is heating more than usual. in my area there are not any connectivity issue so it does not get heats that much.
Are you using pixel 8 at present?
Hi, I need your input in buying: Nothing 2 or Edge 50 Pro. I do not need any fancy gimmicks. I am a balanced user, usually keep my phones for 3+ years, and do not play games on my phone. That said I want a daily driver phone with good reception
I've been really happy with my Pixel 6a for the past year, except for one minor annoyance - occasional dropped calls.
Which is a better pixel 8a or pixel 8 in 2024. ..?
Can we get a camera comparison of the pixel 8/8 Pro with the Moto edge 50 Pro? Will be interesting to see how much a budget phone can complete with the flagships
I'm a tech guy who loves checking out smartphones.
While the Pixel has cool features, it has some problems. It heats up too much, the network connection isn't always reliable, and editing photos on it is slow.
Plus, they stopped offering free Google Photos backups, which was a bummer.
If Google fixes these issues, I'd be more likely to buy one. But for now, I'm not sold on the Pixel.
Say strictly "No to Pixel phones."
I purchased a pixel 7 at the launching time Oct 2022, within 1yr... I gave it to the service center for heating issues, call drop, network issues, camera problems, auto redial (even I have not optioned) and next within 6 months the mobile motherboard is gone, The quotation received for repair is 46,000 INR.
I maintained the mobile well even the service center person identified me a second time when I went there, he said "u mobile is pixel 7, I have never seen such maintenance, nicely" but no use.
Now I decided to switch to another mobile, decided not to buy pixel phones for life time.
That's sad
whats your thought about pixel 8a
Reviewers and users express this common Problem related to Network Connectivity...
seems like Google/pixel is not listening to the customers....
or the new features substituting this network issue
location sharing is not a pixel exclusive feature
Are people seeing pixel 8 charging incredibly slow lately ? When I bought the device, it was alright and charged t 100% in 1 hour 20 minutes or so. I still see a GaN PPS charger which charges at 30W, but the device now takes over 2 hours.
Just buy the s23. My cousins pixel 7a doesn't last 5 hours and it takes about 2.5 to fully charge. Whenever his hotspot is on the phone heats a lot. Software is nothing as comparrd to Samsung's one ui. One ui is simply more feature rich.
relax guys, google declined to sponsor him///
So what , you getting an honest review .
that's my same thoughts, I have Pixel 6A, and it's butter smooth, but battery and network quality is a trash. I have to put it on airplane mode on off to get mobile data working.
I have read a lot of reddit posts, and all blame it on Exynos. They are the bad fish in the ocean, making all pixels (6+) bad.
I'm a huge Pixel fan but wouldn't buy it till they stop using exynos
Sir galaxy s24 whole series ke bhi kuch videos nikalo na, I am bit confused ki s24 series wala Lena chahiye ya fir s23 series, s23 series me dikkt hai ki vo 3-4 saal tk ke updates denge or jabki s24 series 7 saal tk denge to fir s24 series ki resell value zada hongi compare to s23 series, or kya s24 with Exynos sach mai long term ke liye hai ya fir s24 ultra hi Lena chahiye long term ke liye???
Google Needs to opt for tsmc instead of Samsung for tensor Manufacturing
Every reviewer gets most of the camera part wrong. Samsung's colour science and the processing is so bad in some situations and has pathetic camera interface. Pixel 8 blows Samsung imo.
No one talks about how pathetic Samsung image processing is really
@@Abishek_1988paid heavily by shamesung
Hi,
Nothing Phone 2
OR
Motorola Edge 50 Pro
- for daily use with good network reception. Not into gaming or media consumption on phone. Previous device was Oneplus 7T, typically keeps phones for 3+ years. Considering Moto for 28K and NP2 for 35K. Recommendations?
Pixel should maintain this attitude otherwise Pixel will also become a chhapri's phones like iPhone
With the release of 8a , pixel 8 now back to 76K
The only good thing I like about a pixel is the video quality i find the pixel normal 4k video way better
And idk why tech reviewers advise pixel for natural picture but pixel do soo.much processing it looks unnatural ( I have pixel 7)
I find samsung pictures way better
Which phone should I buy?
Budget 30-40k
I am currently using OnePlus 6T.. my daily usage is 7-8 applications like instagram, whatsapp, X, Teams, Outlook etc..
I don't play games on phone...i travel a lot so need a phone with good battery life..And i use camera extensively
Oneplus 12R or the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, seems like a good option as per your mentioned usecases
when did 8a come out ?
Same question 😂
No, that is a pun in the title…
Bro it's not Pixel 8a. It's giving pixel 8 A second chance
May 14
Released on 7 may...
Good correction from 8a to 8 "A"👍
First line hit hard really bad year for Android phones no good phone yet
Now everyone buying ultra range mobile only,but with price factor also.
This type of 200% high price not workable at all.
Video title is a next level mastery 😂😂😂
Which one to choose
S23 vs Pixel 8
Which phone would you suggest if my budget is 25k and my needs are a good Video camera with 4k OIS+EIS, Clean Looking and a good enough processor.
I used pixel 6a , pixels are heater but I'll still purchase the pixel 8a under 40k because the AI features, compact design and durability is superior
Unsubscribing you, after watching s23fe video i don't trust you anymore.
Only sponsored videos
Without mentioning
Same
pixel 10 is what im looking for
3nm processor
heat and network issues will be solved till then too(hope so)
Im using a pixel whicu i fot from US and now planning ro sell in 45... Its 6 month but but cant claim warranty in India...
I think so much distractions if u are a guy who uses office apps also...
I know that tensor chipset has been optimized by google but still, using pixel 8 in a southeast asian summer heat is unbearable. The phone will easily gets hot and it's uncomfortable to the hands.
I'd been waiting for this
Pixel has severe network issues in Bangladesh. Is it same in Bangladesh?
Picked it for $449 , pretty good deal
This costs 53,000 inr, you can get the iPhone 15 at 60,000 inr with card discounts which is much more perfect than this trash in every possible way.
You forgot to mention one thing the only reason to buy pixels shouldn't be to enjoy the Android features just earlier I've seen many features running way smoother and ironically more efficiently on my Pixel6a then in my friend's S23fe I don't quite that but it's good now after the lastest update why I'm comparing to fe ? It has the legendary Exynos 😅
Used samsung for past 8 years,currently using a 3yrs old s20 fe 5g .now thinking of buying either pixel 8 or s23 (256gbs), my requirements camera ,battery, connectivity, casual games like Rc 24 .
Which one would be better or else wait for nothing 3
Could you suggest earphones with better call quality?
Despite watching TH-cam reviews, the earphones I've bought keep malfunctioning, even ones under 5000 rupees like Realme Buds Air 3.
They constantly stop working, and despite multiple trips to the service center during the warranty period, the issue persists.
Now considering spending 20k on Samsung or AirPods Pro, but worried they might also fail after a year, resulting in a significant loss. Can you share your experience with AirPods Pro? Do they last longer? I'm hoping for something that will last at least 3-4 years if I am going to spend 20k.
Pixel 4A with snapdragon it's a powerful, compact phone than any other in pixel history.
I want a pixel. Only reason I wouldn’t go with it is Tensor
damn i thought 8A,,
I used the 8A for a brief moment at best buy... its nice... but price is 499$ and pixel 8 is 549... google needs to price well its product lol
