Google Pixel 8 Pro Honest Review, In this video we break down the Google Pixel 8 Pro in detail to help you decide if this is your next smartphone! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments, and enjoy the content :)
Google knows where to hit consumers. User Experience. While other phones are still focusing on increasing hardware capacity, Google ensures user are having a blast using the device.
I wouldn't call having a blast when it has poor battery life an super slow charging
Man, even though I prefer iPhone, I’m really impressed with the pixel eight Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro Max just seems boring to me.
Same here, I love iPhone software, but man is this Pixel 8 Pro impressive compared to pixels of years ago
If Google actually commits to their seven year promise, you should do a throwback review of this phone again in 2030.
@@123theprodigy5why do I feel like that 7 years promise is gonna go to absolute sh** in the next 3🤣
@@dereka5310 hopefully not
I'm samsung until apple survives Jerry's durability test and get rid of the notch!
I was always an android user until 2020. Since then I have had the 12 pro max, 14 pro and now I’m still waiting on the arrival of my 15 pro max.. however my message to google would be, keep it up, I’m seeing you, I’ve noticed what your up to. Keep pushing and go head to head with Apple and Samsung on hardware and I’d seriously be willing to move back.
from 2020 to 2023 you get 3 new phones? o.o wow rich. cant imagine myself changing every year
I’ve been waiting for this one 😅trying to decide on this or the 15 pro max but I already have a 12 pro max and that pixel watch 2 incentive is so tempting 😊
Pixel phones are notoriously janky. Also, glorified Exynos chipset.
@@harrydrake4173 well an iPhone isn’t the best either but there’s a promotion on my carrier
@@harrydrake4173 pixels are the iPhones of android smooth and get updates before anyone else the pixel 8 may not have the benchmarks that iPhone 15 pm has but it makes up for it with ai improvements from google assistant to photos while iPhone has all that power and can’t do nothing with it you can’t even do split screen or float an app on the iPhone and Siri is trash iPhones are mainly for instagram and TikTok etc. iMessage and FaceTime that’s it me personally prefer the galaxy s23 ultra at the moment but I respect what the pixel 8 pro is doing and I love the direction google is going with it
@@harrydrake4173janky? I've been using Pixel phones for the last 5 or 6 years and haven't experienced anything I haven't seen in other phones. The only real issue is that they're underpowered compared to the competition, although they make up for that with all the fancy software features.
@@harrydrake4173 ok apple fan boy
Now before someone comments that the video audio got really soft when you zoomed in... Most likely Google is doing the same thing where you zoom in and it focuses on the audio of what's in the frame. Being that we were just staring at a wall, there was no audio to pick up. But if there was, say, a street performer... It would focus on the audio from the musician.
I'm not sure at all if the older pixels did that as well.
It’s nice to come across an honest unbiased review. So many tech TH-camrs are just so far up apples backside you literally can’t not rely on their opinion or reviews.
Definitely looking into this phone
16:06 What happened with the sound on a 5x video zoom? It looks like as more zoom you do the more focused sound is recorded. As the wider angle you used, the wider angle of sound was recorded. Am i wrong?
I still prefer this kind of reviewer who shows the phone all over the video rather than those who shows their faces like 70% of the entire time
Finally a software review of pixel8❤
Really Pixels best phone. I didn't have a problem with the 7p, but this improved in every way.
The best "smartphone" you can have. I cant wait for mine to arrive.
Great video 😀
Your reviews are satisfying as always
Great video! I can’t wait to get my 8 pro Monday! I love that bible verse widget as well, will have to add that!
Awesome! Yes great way to remember to check your Bible app 👍🏻
How are you liking the 8 pro now?? I am thinking about upgrading from my current phone (Galaxy S22 Plus) to the Pixel 8 pro. I'd love to hear some feedback.
Can't wait mine will be here Saturday
Nice video!
Amazing honest review as always brother
Thanks brother glad you enjoy the reviews :)
@@nickackermanchannel seven years of software updates, that is amazing, it’s nice to know that if I buy a $1000 pixel, it will last me at least seven years.
Nice job sir ❤❤
Great review Nick 👍🏻
I can't wait for us to start getting the Regular Pixel 8 in to start covering the none Pro variant. The Pro is getting all the attention.
The pro gets the attention because it's basically the same thing with the best the company has to offer, the 8 is nearly identical besides the zoom and smaller battery
My 8 Pro is arriving today -- thanks for the excellent review!
Curious, how has the phone been for you? I am thinking about upgrading from my S22 Plus to the Pixel 8 pro.
Can you comment on the G3. Is it fast enough to so called process photos? My pixel 7 pro always need that 4 to 6 seconds to process the photo before I can properly preview the photo that was just snapped...
Thank you for a great and honest review of the Pixel 8 Pro. Everything described was to the point, but most of all honest. The pixel 8 Pro is an excellent phone and your review for those who don't have one this will probably get them excised to purchase one of the best smartphone I have owned.
Thank You,
Another reviewer was mentioning that it might be 2400 nits, but it’s still dimmer than the iPhone pros 2000 in direct sunlight
That matte looks dope
"they're not in it for the Fastest phone out there, they are more about the experience". That's a great way to put it.
999 for this tho? These a.i features are not really new they exist already in editing apps and it's nice that they implemented them in an easier way to use for every day things but these features aren't so many.. I think 999€ Is too much even if you consider using all of them every day
@@wheely4405 many more will be added in the future feature drop as it supports 7 years of os update
@@paimog9233the 2 year old weak chipset won't keep up and for 7 years 128gb of base should be a crime
@@wheely4405 but you lay for it in editing apps 😏😏
@ibroleem yeah not me , I download everything modded/cracked but still it's so much cheaper even if you pay for these apps..
Gorgeous color!!!
At first I wasn’t digging it but I did a double take and was like wow 🤩 beautiful
Bay Blue is the best colour on the Google pixel 8 pro
A very premium phone.
Nice phone indeed!
Can’t wait for mine to get here. Wednesday next week!
Awesome 👏 excited for you
You’re always honest Nick!!!
Thanks Gene if something is trash I'll let you know, if it's good I'll let you know! Thanks for your feedback!
Actually the face unlock this year is level 3 which is secure and can be used for banking and other secure stuff
Yeah I realized that after it wouldn’t work with my picture test
Also the pixil 8 pro has better reception I compared the difference between my pixil 7 pro. My pixil 8 pro gets 4 to 5 bars my pixil 7 pro gets 1 to maybe 2 at best consistently so 8 pro is much better
Thank you for the video!!! QQ: is the camera bar colour silver or champagne or such? From Google website it looks rather champagne/goldish than silver. Thank you!
It looks silver initially but on closer inspection and in the light it is like a Champaign color it’s very classy
@joeguillian8955 Thanks for asking this. The Google keynote definitely said "accented by a soft gold trim". It looks straight silver on all reviews, but I was hoping it looked as shown in the keynote. I'll see for myself tomorrow!
@@katrinawhite8572 You are right, best is to see in person.
🔥🔥 nice review!!
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it
Are you going to make a video about the new samsung s23 fe ? Nice video btw
Maybe, not sure yet, seems like just another Samsung phone. Thanks so much for your comment :)
Can't open links in Facebook, can't put onscreen navagation buttons on (youtube is also only playing at 720p...)
Phone is amazing. Mine is in dbrand leather which I peeled off the 7 Pro. Not a perfect fit, but will do till my next skin arrives 6:44
I had preordered and received my Pixel 8pro yesterday. I've been using it all day and it's been great so far! I upgraded from an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I didnt notice the bezels so 🤷 and i havent felt it get warm except when i had activated and set up the phone. Been watching TH-cam, TikTok, web browsing, and have already made a few phone calls. Using the phone honestly reminds me of my iPhone just now with a split screen option. Easy to use and simple.
Take it outside all day and use mobile data. That will be the real test as the 7s were terrible for battery life on data.
Every phone I test is worse on 5G than Wi-Fi
currently have a 13 pro max and looking at the pixel 8 vs the 15 pro im on the fence dipping apple and going green
Great video...realistic. Google has been making smartphones for 7 years now...and just getting better and better ...Pixel 8 PRO is one awesome phone for price ver$u$ iPhone 15 PRO Max way over priced.
Don’t know why but voice typing is not working on mine
What’s the problem ?
Nick and MKBHD are the only two tech reviewer I can trust😅
They still look dimmer even after upgrading their screen brightness. What you can get from Samsung at 40% brightness you get from Google at 80% brightness. Where did they pack all those nits, between 80% to 100%?
Auto brightness will maximise the brightness. Manual slider only does a fraction of what the screen can output
Bro what is your choice between s23 ultra and pixel 8 pro,about display and camara only🎉
Will have to be reserved for another video, the camera though is much better than S23U imo in terms of sheer quality and ease of use
@@nickackermanchannelI’m going to compare it to my S23 Ultra and 15 PM as well. That screen looks fantastic!
KOOL STUFF📱⌚️📱⌚️👍🎬😁
Which one would you recommend pixel 8 pro or the iPhone 15 pro max?
You said it's one of the best android picks for battery life without any proper testing. All other sources show that it's still probably the worst pick for battery life not even getting close to 23U despite same battery size. Google's own website has it as having less battery life versus the 7 pro.
It lasted easily from 6am yesterday until the next morning and as I said it will last a day, that's my honest experience. I never said it was better than another phone I said it lasts a whole day which is my experience
@@nickackermanchannel You said it was one of the best android phones for battery and idk how you could possibly justify that
@@berryvolcano3787 because he just used the phone and uses more phones than you
I just got my pixel 8 pro today, it has same problem as the pixel 7 pro, the scrolling lacks momentum. It's hard to explain, it's sort of sticky. It's not a hardware issue because the Samsung browser app is super smooth and fluid whereas all other apps the scrolling is wonky.
I noticed some of that in a couple apps , hopefully fixed in software updates
@@nickackermanchannel it’s not just a few apps, it’s everywhere. Just open TH-cam and put a Samsung phone next to it. Swipe up gently on both phones and notice on pixel, the scrolling abruptly stops while Samsung glides and gently slows down.
@@pancake1997 trust me, I wish I didn’t notice it but when you have multiple phones and you switch phones it becomes obvious very quickly. Not an issue for majority of the people.
IF I was to get an android it would be a pixel, and the phone looks great. I am going to stick with my 14 Pro Max.
Make the switch. You won't regret it
Please what did you use to film this video?
his equipment is listed under description of this video.
What's with all those games on the phone???
Could u tell pixel 8 pro good for vloggers ? I am planning to change mobile .
Thank u
I don't game on phones so I don't care about the benchmarks. I have a 15 pro as well. The Google Pixel 8 Pro feels just as fast as my iPhone. Smooth as silk. Fast. Really great phone.
Anyone complaining about bezels on the 8 pro needs to be throat punched. hard.
Review the regular 8 please.
The blue 8 Pro is the best color to me 👌🏾💯
yes ! i got that and the watch with the matching band coming this afternoon. Cant wait !!
@aaronaustrie agreed it is I have the blue 8 pro aswell
Well, I guess it’s the right definition of smart as in smartphone. If you know what I mean.
/prompt imagine please let this way better looking chick in the background disappear. thanks.
Google will be doing a 9 pro and 9 pro max next year so finally a smaller pro option. hopefully they improve the bezels thinner and camera again
Source?
If that's true, definitely going to be a big price jump there
@@sezzachi personally dont think so can see 9 pro £899 pro max £999
Can u do a HDR video review?
Yeah google challenges the other flagship phones by giving it more color and a different way of using the phone. My samsung was boring but the battery was great. Pixel just needs to make stronger batteries
Comparison between this and nothing phone 2 please.
May consider it later, not sure yet. Thanks for sharing your feedback :)
I like the phone, I just wish they would use the snapdragon chips like Samsung! The tensor chips are not that great.
i bet it doesnt work well with adblockers or for protecting you from data harvesting
Phone of the year.
Really good phone probably the least boring
Maybe in the future I will switch to the Google pixel because as a Samsung Galaxy user i really want a simple stock experience 😊
Can samung galaxy smartphones touch google pro 8 cameras
This is definitely Google's 6s, S8 year.
The pixel 8 pro with a (free pixel watch 2) during the preorder date in Canada was 🔥. Apple will never do that for sure. If Google one was like Apple One with a lot of stuff , it would be a big W
That’s very true, kind of amazing there throwing in the Watch almost no one does that
I definitely took advantage of that one. Upgraded from the pixel 7 pro.... Which I loved
That temperature sensor is cool but can you use it on someone’s forehead? How does it even read temperature that’s pretty crazy
It's slightly inaccurate but it's a cool feature
I'm considering switching from iOS to Android, tired of Apple's buggyOS.
Im also switching to android. Getting the Pixel 8 pro
It is misleading that Google are promising all these AI and software based editing features and the like on the Pixel 8 series without CLEARLY telling people that these enhancements will only be added in future software updates and WON'T be on the device when you buy one. And then you have to use Google photos for some of them to work (possible subscription). Video editing has to be uploaded to the cloud for these to work. Some voice activated features will only work in English. Buyers beware. All that glitters sadly isn't gold.
Bro made iphone 13 pro videos ❤
the pixels still don't come here for sale 😑 mayby 9 series it see..
I got 3 coming in today for less than 1 iphone 15 pro max. Lol
Wow good deal
“Honest review “
“Gift from google”
Yeah FoH
This is the only phone I care to have.
Wait a minute; so aside from this video we've been lied to 🤔...
Also the pixil 8 pro has better reception I compared the difference between my pixil 7 pro. My pixil 8 pro gets 4 to 5 bars my pixil 7 pro gets 1 to maybe 2 at best consistently so 8 pro is much better
Yes I noticed this better phone as a phone
First comment ❓❓
CNET is saying there are major issues with the phone and not to buy it, yet... 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Everyone has their own opinions, I am having a great time with Pixel 8 Pro
@@nickackermanchannelis this going to replace your iphone as a daily driver. Im trying to decide if I want to do iPhone 15pm or the P8p. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Ive been tearing up reviews and reading. Im not sure what to do.
Why do these phone manufacturers put all the great cameras on the brick size versions?….I want a smaller one but with all the lenses etc….like the iPhone pro max has better /more cameras than the smaller pro,why?
Maybe more space?
@@nickackermanchannel or maybe more profit.
i want to see pixel 8 vs iPhone 15
That sounds fun :)
Are you allowed to say what you don't like about the phone?
Gives me S21 vibes from the front.
I was thinking the same thing, but the S21 was sleek so that’s not a bad thing
@@nickackermanchannel agee 100% one of my favorite S series phones. I personally prefer the 20:9 aspect ratio.
Misleading title, one day is not enough for owest review
Developer options, animation 0. My go to.
I don't think that anyone is going to use that half-assed temperature sensor two days beyond unboxing. The long software support is welcome and certainly sets the bar high for Samsung. Pixel 8 Pro is definitely a better value for money compared to Samsung.
25 watts fast charging in 2024 is a joke
Why do you need burning fast charging for?
5W charger is actually what I often use to preserve battery healthy anyway
I got mine yesterday, I don't think im gonna keep it over my S23U - I just feel like im not getting as much phone with the 8 Pro - its very nice don't get me wrong but I just don't think im gaining enough by replacing my S23U with it, at least for my preferences anyway
Yeah S23U is like the king, this is definitely not as much phone, but it suits a different type of user better whereas the S23U also suits a different type of user better
@@nickackermanchannel ye 100%. I'm not one who really takes advantage of all the Google specific features so I'm sure other people do benefit more. In my testing the camera has been nice the last 24 hours, however I feel Google really do ramp up the HDR a bit too extreme a lot of the time, very rarely letting shadows be shadows etc it can look impressive sometimes but other times it just looks a bit too excessive to me. I understand why the photos can look better next to another competitor though because it can initially give you that wow reaction on first impression.
Gift or Sponsored* ??
People still complain about bezels?
iPhone has very reduced bezels as does Samsung it makes them stand out more
Its definitely aa sponser video rather than SHOWING ANYTHING ABOUT PHONE. I LOVE PIXEL BUT THIS IS PURE MONEY SPEAKING FROM GOOGLE
This video is not sponsored. These are my thoughts and experiences. The phone is a gift, no script. If you don't agree with my review and my take, well that's a different matter.
The best phone is usually the free one, right.
Nope I didn’t say this one the best phone, I said it’s the best android phone right now, mostly because of the great cameras, long software support and smooth software. The S23U is neck and neck and the S24U will probably grab the crown again.
Apple guy sell some "honest" review to the Android fans 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Thanks for your assumption and opinion have a blessed day, I appreciate your comment :)
@@nickackermanchannel mmmmmmmmm
Pixel 6a display on a white background almost seems white washed. I'm curious if it's the same on the pixel 8p
Dude you need bezels or you wouldn't be able to hold your phone
Huawei mate 60 pro
I stick w 7 Pro
That’s a great phone
Google be killing with AI lately 💯🔥
Absolutely, this phone is awesome
