- The Google Pixel 8 Pro has been out for 3 months, and it's a great phone but how will it hold up? RESERVE S24 FREE $50! howl.me/cllaR4mpS8i (affiliate)
The Pixel 8 Pro is the smartest smartphone on the market but it will have some serious competition from the S24 Ultra when it launches in a few days. After 3 months, the Pixel 8 Pro has been the best Pixel phone experience I've had so far and it just keeps getting better, I just hope it can keep up with the competition in 2024!

The pixel 8 pro is the best phone I've ever had, i havent had any issues, unlike with all the iphones I've had. Looking forward to having this phone for a long long time.
I have the s23 ultra , you need to try the s24 ultra. I love pixel but Samsung is the best to use with the stylus oen integrated features
@@morm2173 nope, I already have an S9+ tablet and I can't stand the OneUI. I don't like it at all. I just love the Google stock android set up. I have no interest in the S24 series.
Will pixel 6 pro get android 15 I heard it will. Sticking with pixels. Very reliable no bloatware and smooth
@@ericparlatore this is something I don't know. Tech Odyssey would know more about that.
Pixel 6 pro gets it's last android update in October 2024 so yea.. android 15 will be it's last major android update@@ericparlatore
I'm surprised by how much of an upgrade the 8 Pro feels over the 7 Pro. I love it's screen brightness, the face unlock upgrade makes the overall experience faster & the battery life is a bit longer. I'm very happy with my 8 Pro!
Does the heating issue still persist especially when using the camera. someone please tell me!!!!!!!!! i want to buy the phone buts still worried about that
@@edwadz8359check / ask the subreddit for Pixel
@@edwadz8359 The heating issues with the Tensor have improved. My Pixel 6 was hot all the time. The 7 Pro was better but still had hear issues. So far I haven't noticed the 8 Pro get hot at all. I've only had it about 10 days and I don't take a lot of pics or video but for my uses the thermals are improved from the 7 Pro.
I am on my 2nd Google Pixel, 6a ---> 8 Pro, and it is the best Android I have used since I switched from iOS in 2014. I have had a lot of terrible Android phones since 2014 from the likes of LG, Huawei, Honor and Oppo, but Pixel has been the most consistent of the lot. For the past 3 years, I have been thinking about switching back to iOS due to frustrations I have had with Android. One thing that I would love to see Google do in the future is to release a smaller Pixel Pro just like Apple does.
honestly having the pixel A line there is no excuse not to have a smaller pro model, just like what apple does. personally i had the 7 last year and I love the size of that phone but because I wanted all the pro features I had to get the pro this year
Honestly the 8 is just as powerful as the 8pro they both share the same chip there is no excuse to make it smaller pro model
Leaks are almost confirming now a 6.3 inch smaller pro pixel for the 9th gen pixels this year, fitted into the current dimensions of the 8 with its 6.2. It seems like they're listening and many people have asked for that smaller form factor. Fingers crossed
I do wish the Pixel 8 Pro had a slightly higher chipset, but having a flat screen really drew me to this phone. I traded in my old iphone 12 pro max and I only paid $300 for the pixel 8 pro 256GB with the free watch
I remember being really excited about stuff like call screening 2 years ago of the Pixel 6. Then was told it wasn't available in my country. I thought, oh well, it will probably come later. Two Iggy ears later and nothing, not even on the horizon.
I love my Pixel 8 Pro 💪🏼 Best phone I've ever had.
Sweet!

Question:
How do you think it compares to the Samsung S23+ or it's upcoming S24+ variant ?
Note:
I ask because of its specific dimensions. It will fit the Razer JungleCat controller, if you use the Samsung Note 9 case. Might make a couple cuts to it for the buttons or camera.
Rant:
I'm very hesitant with that Tensor G3 chipset. It doesn't have the custom drivers and iGPU from Adreno. And it's built on the much-inferior Samsung 4nm lithography. So I think high-end functions like Emulation are likely to suffer.
More rant:
I have bad luck with their previous Google phones, some in hardware but mostly in software. As a software oriented device, Google shows a lot of incompetence. Not a fan of curved screens. And I'm definitely a fan of "more is more" for features like Headphone Jack, microSD, IrDa blaster, User Removable Battery, etc etc. If only I could get the Razer JungleCat to work with the Samsung xCover 6 Pro, but then I might complain about the Cameras, Display, and Chipset... but they're right there/so close.
edit: spelling

They did a great job with the Pixel 8 Pro. I tested the battery it lasted 7hours during a road trip with 5G and navigation. After 7hr30mn and arrived the battery life was a little above 20%.
Yup. They did a good job.
I’m an iPhone user, I was going to switch to the pixel 8 Pro. I was going to buy it today. I’m just getting so confused though, I’ve heard people say it doesn’t last if you’re on your mobile data, not Wi-Fi. The battery will drain in two hours. I’ve heard others say the call quality is horrible, calls get dropped all the time. Heard others say it overheats really bad, when you’re using your mobile data. Hearing all these different things, I don’t know what to do 😖
I did my own test and that's what I got. It's not like the 7a which was just bad in terms of battery. iPhone Pro models have a superior battery life in general but the 8 Pro has fixed all the random battery draining issues you may find on the 7a and 7Pro etc...@@Ninnjette-
@@Ninnjette- Just buy it, unless the S24 appeals to you more. People sensationalize the issues they have with especially Android phones on launch. A lot of people will have issues that are only there during the first 3 months of a phone's launch, and I've heard consistent reports of incredible performance and reliability after the most recent December update. It's going to work for you well enough no matter what I think but none of these issues seem to have persisted past launch.
@@Inressa I ended up getting the S23+, unfortunately I don’t get it until Wednesday. I got it for $600, seeing how it was last year’s model found a good deal. If I like it, giving it some time I’ll trade it in for the 24+. My husband has the ultra it’s just too big for me, I’m used to a iPhone Pro max size. I seen you can do split screen, you can actually animate your wallpapers, you can change the color palette of your UI. I’m very excited about Wednesday.
Hi would you recommend this phone I'll be coming from a one plus 10 pro will I notice any difference between the two
I felt the same way until the night sight feature began causing the camera app to crash and my P8P to reboot every time I tried to use it. I was told they would send me a replacement on 12/21/23 but my phone is still at Google (four weeks and counting) and all I get from customer service is they have "escalated my case and someone will contact me within 24-48 hours". They are making it very difficult to stay loyal to the brand.
Looking forward to picking one up
MR oddyseey, do you plan on getting the honor magic v2 or v3 porsche edition ? It could be the best Foldable of all time better than the one plus open
Was just wondering what case you're using on the Pixel 8 pro?
with Pixel users losing assistant launch features, it would be nice for BARD to appear even if it is 'Pixel-exclusive' to start
My only gripe with the p8p is the modem, there are many areas the signal strength is not good.they should have used a qualcomm modem.
I have the P8Pro- overall it's been pretty good, but I've had a few issues. Zoom camera can't hold focus or can't get into focus-usually if I shake the phone hard it will help. Also had a couple of times when it says I'm connected to cellular internet, but I have to restart to get any actual connectivity
I have the pixel 8 and I love it

On your gaming phone comment, totally agree withe everything you're saying, but also think it's worth considering that cloud tech Google is utilising for other things, until last year they were utilising similar tech for a cloud gaming option - stadia - which, although was controversial in the gaming industry, it was highly praised in the cloud communities, and aloud you to play top shelf games (i.e Destiny 2, Assassin's creed etc) from almost any mid tier smart device and up, and from any old potato pc that could manage stable internet.
Stadia was "killed by Google" but their data from its use likely isn't being put to waste. There's been no specific announcement, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw technology similar to stadias integrated into the Pixel series in the future to allow for a smother, higher fidelity experience.
There are other companies still utilising the cloud specifically for gaming like Nvidia, Xbox, Playstation and Boosteroid, and I don't think it will be too many years until we see this more of a standard, if not as the main way to play, then assisting and doing most of the heavy lifting in the background in places where things like phones/consoles don't have the horsepower/in built technology
I have the pixel 8 and I’m wondering if I should have waited for the s24. I’m worried that the base s24 will have ai zoom boost and stuff and the pixel 8 won’t get any new ai stuff even if the pixel 8 pro does
I’m currently using my old P6 Pro and it works like a champ. P7 Pro still works like a champ so I’m sure when I get around to getting P8 Pro, that will definitely work like a champ too. Pixels are awesome, I know, I have multiple devices. You’re spot on Adam. 👊🏽
Are battery life still good on those phones ? I got p8p and wondering how long the battery will be good for?
@80skid78 still pretty good, but it all comes down to the user and usage.
I bought this phone from your recommendation and have loved it ever since. I can trade it in via Tmobile in November for any other phone so if S24 is better.. iphone 15..better.. or the next Pixel.. i love that i can depend on your content to lead me in the smartphone realm.
I agree with everything you've said, especially when it comes to paywalling certain features. I believe those features should come to the Pixel 8 & Pixel 7 & 7 Pro. We already pay close to or at $1,000 for these devices and it could be financially draining for some of us who want good phones but can't get certain features due to subscriptions or paywalling certain features.
I also heard that the S24 series will allow users to access certain A.I. features until 2025 where some will be paywalled or will require a subscription. I really don't like that, but before making a purchase, I need to see and watch reviews on the phones, particularly the A.I. features.
Do you think a kernel upgrade will do anything for the Tensor chips/OS? I know as fact kernel updates do wonders (mostly) for Linux distros. I hope it makes for a smoother experience. I'm loving everything about my 8 Pro with the exception of just ok battery life.

im done with the my flip4 experiment and ready to go back to the 'traditional' candy bar format. I hate this in between time where other phones are coming out. Of course my last few phones have been with Samsung, I'm looking for a change and am thinking about the Pixel phones, but not sure if I should get the Pixel 8 Pro or maybe wait out for the Pixel 9 Pro and wait out to see if samsung's AI promises pan out vs the Pixel's.
Should maybe do a video going in-depth describing the difference between the Tensor G3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 2? It would be great to have that knowledge, then again impatient atm and on the verge to buy one 8 Pro since i agree with what you're saying I miss my Huawei P30 pro. Huawei Would have crashed every Flagship phones, hell P30 pro was still one of the best phones in 2023.. I generally miss Huawei and hope they do smash the barrier and get to have a comeback!! Til then, I'm gonna cross my fingers hoping this will be the replacement.
I LOVE my Pixel 8 Pro. I am, however, still annoyed that I have to leave the beta in order to get the cinematic wallpaper option as well as the ability to summarize an article. Grrrr!
Interesting, I'm currently on the beta build and have the cinematic photo option.
@@googleaccount8865 ... Can you also have articles summarized to you?
I got tricked into getting the Pixel Pro 8 because of the camera. It turns out, this is the best phone ever. And I've bought 12 phones cash last year. Pixel is the best yet
Nice. Glad to hear you're enjoying the phone.
I'm just curious, but why 12 phones? 😮
@@kristinabliss Lol! Because I was intrigued with the new phones and just wanted the best ones in terms of 1. cameras, 2. ecosystem/workflow, and 3. hand feel.
I still love the Pixel actually and it has WAY better cameras than any phone I've owned (currently and previously), but I went back and bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max because I bought a Macbook Air M2 15inch. The iPhone does have the best ecosystem/workflowability with other apple products, the earphones are superb, and the laptops are unmatched. I just wanted things to work, and to work efficiently, hence, the iPhone is the best. It also happens to have the best and most satisfying and elegant UI.
The ecosystem as follows (that I currently own) really works so amazingly well together: apple tv and homepods speakers, airbuds pro 2, iPhone, Macbook air and iPad Mini 6.
And to answer your question, trying out different ecosystems was one of the reasons I tried out all those phones!
@@openrelationships Gee, thank you for replying so thoroughly. Yes, I have picked up on the compatability advantage with Apple products. I will be careful to never get ensnared and make due with mostly using the cloud and inexpensive devices. Hopefully that will be sufficient. I keep reminding myself that people wrote books before there were even typewriters. I have one more quick question... you emphasize hand feel being a priority. So, you go about your business without a phone case? I can't even imagine that in my life of caring for goats, playing with my puppy, hiking and driving a semi for income. People really go without a case? Also, I admire your implied lifestyle in your username. May all your relations be honest and mutually accepting and healthy.
I switch back and forth between the s24 ultra and Google pixel 8 pro. Both are great phones!
I got my Pixel 8 Pro. Best phone I've ever had as well. Switched from Iphone and it never turning back.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Same!!

I got the pixel 8 pro 2 weeks ago and I was coming from a galaxy 12 for the past 4 years. Man, want a mind blowing difference
Is it safe to use another launcher, like nova prime...and/or would you recommend?..Does it affect the phone capabilities in any way?
Nova is safe
Im really happy with mine. Nothing i can really complain about. Camera is great, best ive ever had on a phone. Screen and speakers are very good for media consumption. Performance is great now after being pretty awful at launch. Great battery life and very stable software. Cant think of a single app crash. Face unlock is my unexpectedly favourite feature. Unlocks my phone before i get near the fingerprint sensor as long as there is light.
I just hope they integrate the video boost into their next chipset..
I use the 6 pro and I was always Samsung guy and few apps that never work correctly ever on Samsung work flawlessly and my 6 pro is still reliable and fast phone. I'm still trying to take amazing pics still any help is appreciated
Great analysis! I've had Samsung Galaxy phones over the past several years but Google is my main productivity suite, so I've had my eye on the Pixel. The past couple of iterations I've stuck with Samsung because the standard Galaxy has excellent storage and battery life without feeling like a brick. If the Pro isn't too heavy it may be worth leaving my Samsung behind, especially with the future paywall on AI options. I usually keep my phones about 3 years so I'd hate to get used to a feature only to have it taken away. Otherwise I may wait for the Pixel 8a- the specs on the 8 aren't that much better than my S21 to come out of pocket $800.
My iPhone 13 Pro Max overheats so quickly, and my P8P hasn't even gotten warm since the initial setup lol
I've had Pixel 8 pro for about a month or so, and Ive noticed that the battery dies rather quick when you use the always on display, other than that its awesome...the sound from the speakers are amazing
Are the speakers good on the 8pro ? If so I'm getting one. Thanks. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
@@RichardRatner.1972 It has the sound of a bluetooth speaker. Ive never had a phone with speakers that good!
Bought the pixel 8 pro, love it…. Until at my kids sports event I was taking a couple of 1 minute long videos over and like the 5th video which there was a long break between these videos a video was all pixelated and laggy….. completely unacceptable in my opinion…. No idea why this happened
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!😊
I have the pixel 6 dint buy the 6 pro because the curved screen,before 2 years .Will keep my pixel 6 I think until next October,when will be coming the 9 and will compair the 8 with new guy 😊
I love my Pixel 8 Pro but I'm recently having issues with applications opening at times. Have you experienced this on your Pixel 8 Pro?
And S23. Or update to the S24?
Im currently using a One PLUS 8 pro phone. Should I upgrade. Or not? ( The one plus 12, the S24. the Google pixel 8 pro???
I find my pixel 8 pro still gets so hot just doing simple task especially when on social media
The phone might not be that relevant but it can be used to get more money when you sell it. I'm more prone to buy a device that's going to have 4-5 more years of Software updates than I would buy one that's on it's last year of a 3 year update cycle. Google Pixel phones are a perfect blend of relevant specs and Optimization.....top notch pictures , good video and a clean overall user experience.
How is the reception/signal strength compared to the s23 ultra o the iPhone 15 pro max? I’ve had issues when it comes to reception with the iPhone
That seems to be an apple thing. I had the iPhone 14 pro and it was the worst phone I ever had. Signal was garbage. I have a way better more reliable experience with my pixel 8 pro than I did the iPhone.
@@CinderRaecould be. Appreciate your response. I know s23 ultra has better reception. It seems to me that iPhone issue is with the ESIM. I did ask a rep at T-Mobile and he did mention that was an issue with the iPhones
@@maverickmig211 that is interesting. I guess Esim isn't all there yet lol. When I got my pixel 8 pro they had to put a physical sim card in it because the apple Esim didn't allow my pixel to get signal. Which makes sense, they are completely different phones, but it's still a pain lol apple likes to make it super difficult to leave them in any way they can.
If you live in a dense populated area your Pixel 8 should work ok. If you are more of a rural area and/or travel a lot I would skip the pixels as they still have a weak/terrible modem. I purchased the Pixel 8. Sitting in the exact spot my S23 got 5G UC 4-5 bars, the pixel 8 the best it could do was LTE with 1-2 bars at best. The pixel went back to Google.
@@gregg4873 I disagree with that. I live in a semi truck and travel literally everyday from state to state. My pixel 8 pro has worked flawlessly even with low signal. I don't have any issues. My iPhone 14 pro wouldn't work with low signal. The pixel 8 pro is great for travel.
Nice video
google pixel is not there yet , give it time ...like you said if google puts a snapdragon with integrated AI and ML like the upcoming samsung s24 it might work fine ...but still issues persist like heating and connectivity. Hope the next pixel gets them sorted.....another thing to consider the iphone is if you play AAA gaming titles and also the best part is you have satellite connectivity in an iphone like how samsung galaxy s series flagship support a stylus.......nice points to consider.....👍
7 years is good. I send my older phones to Philippines and they are still using them.
Makes sense
What if there are going to copy apple and next pixel 9 will the extra features but keep the same processor while the pro gets the tenzor 4. Just a thought
Terrible does that won’t happen
I like the idea of the ultra Samsung's but all of the bloatware is annoying. I wish google will incorporate widget stacking
I just got 28 hours off the plug with 9 hours of screen on time with the 8 pro
I'm getting around the same too, brilliant battery life
I've really enjoyed my Pixel 8 Pro for the past few months. I upgraded from a S21 Ultra and it was a positive move. Only complaint is the optical zoom on the camera, wish it was more equivalent to what Samsung does.
I've even had my mom upgrade to the Pixel 8 Pro now. She's going through a learning curve with it but so fall all is positive.
Going from the pixel 6 to the 8 pro. After a month of mostly WFH and it's screen is scratched to hell including the glass on the lenses. Yet no reviews mention this. My 6 after 2 years doesn't have scratches. My 2 after 5 years of use (between me and my husband) no scratches. What is going on? Also I was excited about all the talk of the amazing camera. I've been hugely disappointed to learn I can't share the footage with boost because the social media platforms don't support the file and it defaults to a 💩standard file that is flat and lifeless. Same with the hires photos.
Love my pixel 8 pro. Simply awesomeness. 💪🔥
Thanks for sharing
Always go Pro or Ultra , but give me 5”8 to 6’1 form factor in size.
I wish.
I've had most of the Nexus phones and 3 pixels. Almost everyone of them had significant hardware issues. I had to RMA most of them. I want to go back, but I'll probably stick with Samsung.
What kind of issues? I've owned them all since the Pixel 2 and never had any hardware issues.
I hope your family is doing well. Take care and we'll keep mom in prayer.
Thank you
Had the P8P since launch coming from a P6P, I am really impressed with what Google has achieved.
Me too
It sucks
@@fraghead9813 you suck
I like the Pixel and the Samsung. I'm a big fan of the s-pen. I think I'm going for the s24u since it reportedly has a flat screen and an s24 to replace my wife's Note 10.
pixel 8 pro is really good device but my experiecne was not good with 8 pro. I think its best for people leaving in cold climate regions. I stay in Australia (currently Summer over here) and 8 pro warms up as soon as i start using the device and i feel uncomfortable. just for whatsapp or youtube or even web surfing it tends to warmup and continues. I have a rog 5 SD888 processor device and that processor was called to be overheating but SD888 keeps the device in normal temperature when using day to day use apps. Only it warms when I play games. But tensor g3 as soon as device umlocked it starts warming up. I even had 2 replacements as that device might the reason, but eventually all 3 pixel 8 pro i got had the same thing. So, they are only suitable in regions where the temperature doesn't cross 30 degree C. But it is really a good phone with lots of smart stuff. Snapdragon processors are way much better in handling a device. I wish google should need to address their hardware improvement if they want to stand 1st in the mobile market. *Finally, I got 3 pixel 8 pro and returned them back and all of them having bumps or impressions of screws and battery on their display, exactly same places on all 3 around the Display*
Google 7 or, update to the 8?
It’s weird Bert doesn’t do his phone reviews with no shirt like he does his comedy specials.
I love my Pixel 7 and I have no doubt that the Pixel 8 pro is great. I still see a couple major areas Google Must work on to truly compete with Samsung & Apple from a daily driver standpoint. Google must improve the efficiency of the battery usage/drain. Motorola has phones lasting 2 days no problem, and yes even their 2023 flagship edge+ (and Thinkphone) has awesome battery life. Samsung finally achieved awesome battery life with their 2023 Galaxy models. Google has to be able to tweak the Pixels (& their tensor chips) to get better battery life and we all know that is not just putting a bigger battery in. There's no reason for a Pixel to drain so much overnight when not in use, or use so much More battery when not on wifi, when running on mobile data. That leads into another important issue Google must improve more - reception, better antenna & placement, modem, etc. and be able to compete with Samsung, Motorola and others that are beating Google on getting good reception in areas where the signal is not the best. I've switched my sim to/from my Samsung S21 ultra from my Pixel 7 and there is just no doubt that Samsung's 3 year old flagship is beating Google's last year flagship on cell phone reception. Many of us, probably most of us, do not live in a big city where the reception is 4 or 5 bars all the time. This is a big issue. If a smartphone can't do the most basic tasks well, it doesn't matter how many AI bells & whistles are on the phone. My elderly Mom's cheap 2021 Motorola g power gets better reception than my Pixel 7, that's not good. Just recently I realized how bad my Pixel 7's battery life is on only mobile data when my Mom (who has Alzheimer's dementia) broke her hip and I ended up staying with her at the hospital and Rehabilitation for 3 weeks without wifi. I was only getting a half days battery life on my Pixel 7 and was still getting a day and a half on my Moms Motorola. Google, this is not acceptable. Please address these issues more. I'm sure they have improved on the Pixel 8 series but I doubt that it has improved enough to compete with the competition. I'm still seeing complaints on Pixel 8 and 8 pro forums. I want the Pixel phones to be the Best android phones available for us average consumers, I love the Pixel phones! We need reviewers like you commenting on these issues, and the other issues you have brought up so that Google hears the feedback and improves the Pixels more. Google has to nail the basics first to be the best. Thanks for all you do Adam!
I am seriously considering the p8p... but your point about reception is reason for me to wait. I live out in the country and drive a semi using phone for navigation. Reception is crucial for this. Thanks for the heads up!
Google could be holding out on some features on the pixel 8 pro to make the next phone even more appealing.
It's an excellent phone. It's only problem is battery life, charging spend and a faster processor.
I think Google Tensor chips will shine in a couple of more generations. Give it time.
I guess new Samsung's flagship Exynos 2400 will be a Tensor 4 this year or will Google switch to Snapdragon 8 gen 3?
It’s shining now
@TechOdyssey. Don't you think it will shine even more in 2025 when TSMC makes the fully custom chips for the Pixel line?
@@stacyanderson1593 I definitely do

I'm an S22 user and looking to upgrade. I want an AI phone like the Pixel that has a half decent battery. My Samsung has the cursed Exynos chip and it chews through battery like nobody's business.
Atm I'm waiting for the S24 Ultra to drop and see how that fares but it's gonna be between the S24 Ultra and the P8P.

Switched to pixel after years of Samsung flagships.
No video out via usb-c
Bluetooth problems when pairing multiple devices (particularly watches)
No Dex or wfh convenience tool
No super fast charging
Gets alittle warm but ok
I went from a Xiaomi mi mix 4 to a pixel pro 8 and to be honest I think it's a brilliant phone.
It’s a great phone
I'm thinking real hard at the Pixel. I was getting tired of Android fragmentation. Because I really wanted Google's Call Screen on my Galaxy S21 Ultra and of course it doesn't. I wanted a pure Android UI but didn't get that.
So I should have brought a Google phone to get pure Android.
If AT&T offers the Pixel 🎉pro for free. I will get it and screw the iPhone 15.
Love my google pixel 8 pro
Awesome!
Still no lossless audio
How is the battery life, though? 🤔
Watch the video. I said what battery life I get.
On my p8p , I get 9 to 10 hours sot and around 22 hours overall including standby. My absolute best was 30 hours total.
I think, even if Samsung launches a better IA I will stick with Google because I like the software. Even more than Samsung and even in my country are not available all the AI features. Greetings from Mexico.
What I loved about Samsung is of course the pen but that it has clone apps. Why hate about it is all the bloatware that you can't get rid of. And that's why I love the Google, no bloatware. What i don't like about it. . No clone apps. And that's why I've stuck with it. It's a great phone, the only problem I'm finding is on video If you are up close to something and come out it loses its calibration and is all distorted.
Which apps are clone apps?
@@ChadH2023 it's in settings on Samsung also called parallel apps. For Google you can get similar apps but not the same

Before features trickle down to the 8 google needs to optimize it first.
I don’t think that’s it at all
8's missing too much from pro.
I live in the EU, on an island and we don't get the Pixels here. But even if we did I don't see the point. No one would buy them because we don't get all the features you get in the US and there are better, cheaper phones to be had.
Also, the G3 is unimpressive. I can't see it being useful in 3 years time let alone 7, unless all computing is done in the cloud and very little on the phone.
Which is no good for the majority of the world who don't have an affordable data plan that's always on.
Plus Snapdragon CPU's also include audio features like aptX and others which enhance your Bluetooth experience if you use Qualcomm equipped headphones. G3 doesn't have that.
As a US only phone it's fine but outside the US it's simply very, very poor value
If you really want the best android phone these days you need to import from China. For example, Oppo Find X7 Ultra, far better performance, cameras, battery, charging speed. Even it's version of magic eraser is far superior. At least in Europe, Google are lucky these companies are not bringing their best phones here.
Pixel 8 pro is definitely better than a pixel 7 pro. Brightness, battery are good this year. But I wouldn’t daily drive it. Gets hot while using gps map, and software still glitches. 😕
I think it's quite a bit better than the 7 Pro
I dropped my pixel 6 pro for the umpteenth time. It's just a touch too wide and far too slippery to be grippable. The battery is absolute junk if I leave the comfort of wifi and the slow charging makes me reluctant to take the phone on any trips. The phone is also the first one to heat up, if I use the GPS in the car.
This is an extreme disappointment after the fairly good experience that I had with the 2xl and the 4xl. I'm changing to Samsung and just bought a z5 fold.
If the pixel 8 pro is great, then it's too little too late for me.
I have the Pixel 6 and my 3 year contract ends in October this, looking forward to when the next Pixel comes out this year. I've always thought Samsung are overpriced like iPhones and the software is meh, as well as the duplicate apps that you can't get rid of. Great video by the way and look forward to seeing more videos. Thank you from England
You’re welcome. The pixel 9 series this fall will be nice
Samsung are expensive, yes however they do hold their value. It seems the pixel doesn't hold its value so much
It is the best phone I've ever had.
Nice! Glad to hear it
Looking at the price of S24 ultra, the Pixel 8 pro totally worth the price.
You will always find Apple and Samsung fanboys with some fake hype about their flagships, I know Samsung and Apple flagships are probably the best but now worthy contenders like Vivo, Google and Xiaomi are doing exceptional things. Recently VivoX100Pro camera seem to be unbeatable.
Unbeatable in overcontrasting the scene
I have a P6P and want a new phone. I can get £295 trade in and get £125 in Google Store credit. Would I be a total loony not to get the P8P??
Would you go for a Pixel8 or 8pro, or wait for the OnePlus 12 ?
Wait. It’s right around the corner. Then see which is better for you.
Get p8p , had OnePlus in the past and it was full of bugs
Bruh I get it but I don't because it's so simple. No matter what people are going to get what they want , like if they really like pixel they will get that because that's what they prefer and the same for Samsung
btw your microphone sounds pretty bad
You get the Google 8pro for $799, $899, $999 and 1tb $1,199
I wonder if any of the a.i. stuff can be disabled and removed completely. Everyone I know is not interested in using a.i. I'm not interested in using a.i. at all and I'm into tech myself. I don't trust a.i. since scammers can easily have access to using a.i. for using it for nefarious reasons. Just like the flipper zero device, there can be a dedicated flipper zero device that uses a.i. which can manipulate devices just like using bluetooth devices.
I don’t think you actually know about AI and what it does in this phone. You should do some research instead of believing such farcical things blindly.
@@TechOdyssey Manufacturers will say that a.i. will be on device but I still would not trust what they say since the manufacturers are known for doing scummy things and they don't say anything unless they get caught doing something nefarious and with bugs with the software. There are software bugs and there is possibility of a.i. leaking information from any of the manufacturers to the cloud because the manufacturers will do it intentionally without saying anything in order to make a quick buck and it can be part of the terms and conditions. For instance, the consumers that paid for there digital movies don't have access because sony revoked access to the movies that the customers already paid for due to a licensing agreement with discovery. There is nothing from stopping any of the manufacturers doing sony is doing by making an agreement with discovery with the digital movies. The manufacturers will mention certain things about a.i. like the a.i. is on device and the government will say that a.i. will be regulated but that can be half truths and that might not be the whole story, but there is a possibility of them leaving out other important information that we don't know about that they are keeping to themselves. Like the manufacturers doing other things without mentioning it because they made an agreement with the greedy corporations. All the manufacturers will do whatever it takes to make a profit and there is a possibility of it going into the wrong hands due to some software bugs like google deleting stuff automatically from google drive customers and the customers have no way of retrieving the data that they already lost. It's why I don't trust using cloud storage and there are so many things that can go wrong with a.i. It's just never brought up because it will scare people about using and trusting a.i. There is already a.i. using artist music to try to make music and there is deep fake stuff on the internet. I like tech but stuff like software can be manipulated just like bluetooth headphones and earbuds. For example bluetooth headphones and earbuds can intentionally be bricked by manufacturers in order to sell a new pair of bluetooth headphones and earbuds. There are people on youtube that says that there battery life and noise canceling headphones have gotten worse from doing software updates for them. I have the sony wf-1000xm4 bluetooth earbuds and the battery drains faster and the charging case battery drains faster. I even went back to using my wired headphones full time since there is no software that can manipulate my wired headphone and make the experience worse with the reasons that I have already mentioned. It's better to be safe than sorry. Ever since my friend tmobile account got hacked that my friend told me, I became cynical about anything about what the manufacturers will say and do, that's an issue with tmobile but things like this could happen with a.i. since we already are giving up our information to google and all the corporations when we are connected to the internet. There was article that someone got stuck in there tesla and they could not open anything not even the doors and let's say hypothetical that they have a.i. built into the car and there is some kind of software bug happening with the software inside car and it has something to do with a.i. because the software was not tested properly and thoroughly. There are software issues on smartphones and things that rely solely on software. Software is not perfect since the possibility of software bugs like with the camera and the bug automatically sending data to the cloud or to someone else device when using nfc to exchange contact information like apples namedrop feature from air drop instead of being on the device with a.i. since it can happen since there was some kind of software issues with the new software updates.
Been using the seven pro for a while now, I'm definitely a fan of these pixel phones
What are a few things that you like the most about Pixel phones, if you don't mind me asking?
@@Super-c00n stock android experience
Recorder transcriptions
The camera is a beast
Big display
Phone hasn't frozen once unlike other phones I've had in the past
I also like how I get access to premium editing tools in Google photos that I didn't have on my other phones that weren't Google phones
Getting software updates before every other phone
Overall it feels really premium, the whole thing
@@Super-c00nstock android experience and battery life I'm getting 20 plus hours .
