Google Pixel 8 Review | One Month Later...

  • Reviewing Google's Pixel 8 flagship phone one month later, with longer term thoughts on the camera, gaming performance, battery life etc. The Pixel 8 costs £300 less in the UK vs the Pro, but is this one of the best compact smartphones? And how are those Android 14 bugs doing?
    If you're after a mini mobile, Google's latest should be tempting. Like the Zenfone 10, this tiny phone doesn't compromise - although the Tensor G3 still lags behind rivals for sheer power. The Pixel 8's camera is also missing some key features like a telephoto lens and Pro controls, which you'll find on its bigger sibling.
    Still, some software quirks aside, I've enjoyed my time with the Google Pixel 8. Android 14 is packed with great features, battery life is excellent and that camera still produces some slick looking photos and video. Gamers will most likely want to look elsewhere, but the everyday performance has been absolutely fine.
    Oh, and I haven't missed that temperature sensor either.
    The Pixel 8 sports a sharp and punchy OLED screen, plus stereo speakers. Storage is sadly limited, but the design is premium as always. So once those bugs get sorted, this will be a formidable flagship smartphone.

    Thanks for watching my Pixel 8 review - got there in the end! Semi-mixed feelings but I am mostly enjoying it, and it can only get better with some Google updates. Next up, the Pixel 8 Pro! If you've already grabbed one, let us know how you're getting on with the Pixel 8 below xx

      So here's the thing. A lot of things engineers do are hardware and software related. Most know bugger all when it comes to aesthetics and those of us that do, are way too annoyed by the "creative" teams' lack of vision around practical things, so yeah, the shiny turd around phone is likely a UX Research team not doing their work or a Marketing team's smooth brain. Hot take? Yes.

      1. Aesthetics. Looks more premium when it shines. However, it attracts more fingerprints. I like the way Apple do their thang on their Pro iPhones (Matte + Stainless Steel Combination) better. Glass is used, so it can also charge wirelessly.

    I'm a fan of the form factor of the 8, as a 4a user. As I'm still happy with the 4a (battery is a bit rough after 3 years though tbh) I'll probably keep it for another year, but by then the 8 is probably considerably cheaper to buy, with still many years of software support left.

    Hi Tech Spurt. Currently rocking the seasoned Huawei P30 and looking for something pretty compact to move to. The S23 just felt too I-phoney with the sharp edges for me. Just how much of an upgrade is the Pixel 8 over the Motorola Edge 40? I know thats bigger but seems pretty lightweight. How do they compare? Camera much better on the Pixel? Cheers

    I had the Pixel 8 Pro and honestly, I returned it and went with another phone entirely. I loved my Pixel 7 Pro, but the charging / data port is dead but, the wireless charging still works. I still use the phone itself for pictures and for apps that I just have not installed on my new phone. Ended up going with the Motorola ThinkPhone. Definitely a solid phone. I do however like the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro but, when I used the pro right up-to the return window... Battery / SoT was horrid! I was getting anywhere from 2 - 3 hours MAXIMUM and that was with minimal usage, the modem was using damn near 70% of the power by itself and that was after all of the updates and learning pattern stuff. Maybe I was using the phone wrong or, got a defective unit and should have tried it again?
    Either way, the phone itself though felt solid and honestly worked REALLY well outside of the issues I had with it. MAY end up trying the phone again here in a few months but for now, going to slam out some usage on this ThinkPhone.
    Definitely appreciate your reviews and love the style of creativity you use while reviewing devices. Makes for some entertainment while actually talking about the specs and actual usage of the phone / devices themselves.

    I have a Pixel 4XL on a SIM only plan here in Australia so run a very good phone cheaply which thus far has made the extra cost of upgrading hard to justify as this is excellent and does most things still. Considering an 8 or 8 Pro, I had a play with a Pixel 7 that was on sale a month or so ago and noticed the 4XL, three iterations earlier, is a faster phone, the 7 was a bit stuttery and the 4XL has a better display. 4XL having infra red face unlock, it recognises me in bed in the dark and I just love that. Face unlock being my favourite kind of lock system it makes me a bit hesitant to change given what you said about this one and I forget what the non infrared sensor is called but not as good as infrared.

    Now that pixel 7 pro and pixel 8 are at the same price which one do I choose if a better camera, majorly for interior photography, is my priority?
    I understand the difference in specs but are there any real world differences in the output?
    Does the 7pro's additional telephoto lens give any actual advantage? Is the pro's camera software a real advantage over the regular one?
    It's hard to find answers to such specific questions online. Chug an extra one for the effort ..🍺 thanks n cheers!

    Android 14 feels very buggy on the S23 Ultra too. Samsung are getting super quick with updates, the downside to that is they get all of Googles lovely early Android bugs. I've had YT Music crash or refuse to play since switching to OneUI 6 the other day too.
    The last Pixel I enjoyed was probably the 3 or 4a. After that I just had so many issues (the Pixel 6 Pro especially) that I gave up and went to Samsung. Ironically, Samsung are the reason Tensor sucks. It's basically a glorified Exynos.

    I traded in my Pixel 7 Pro with 512GB of memory for the Pixel 8 Pro with 1TB because the 7 overheated and resulted in a nauseous display flicker, especially when taking videos. My 8 gets warm, but has never overheated.

    My Pixel 8 Pro hasn't had a single scratch on it since I got it a month ago. And in a drop test on TH-cam it didn't even crack. As for cameras I find even at 50mp full resolution it's so detailed and doesn't affect dynamic range either. There is some artifacts in 50mp images in dark areas on some images but Google is apparently aware of this issue.

Size is crucial for me and I was considering getting the base S23 or Zenfone 10 because they're almost exactly the same size as the 5. But with the 8 only being slightly taller, I guess I'll jump on it still now that it's $550 for BF sales and I don't see similar deals on the other 2 phones. I'm not a fan of the Tensor chip since it seems to be the least efficient chip on the market now, but as long as real world testing shows the 8 will get similar battery life to the 5, it's adequate even if it will take a bit longer to charge due to the larger battery capacity.

I've got the Always On Display switched on, left the fast refresh enabled etc - no power saving options at all. Maybe it's that pesky Instagram, I've heard it's a huge battery drain 😅

    I honestly think if Google threw a snapdragon chip in their phones they would be so much more appealing and have better performance and battery.
    Tensor underperformers a lot compared to snapdragon and considering Google has full control over tensor chips the optimisation and performance isn't great at all.
    The pixel camera isn't even that great anymore either and that's one feature they used to be praised the most for

    • @johnsteve1352
      @johnsteve1352 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The battery life you are getting is not because its pixel, its because the chipset. The chipset in mi 11 is SD888 which is the worst modern phone chip so far. It has the poorest energy efficiency and worst heat level so doesn't matter which brand, as long as it has SD888 the battery is very bad. However, for the price of pixel 8, you can get samsung s23 on sale with a much better chip SD8gen2, which is way more energy efficient and faster. And you have the reputation of Samsung of 4 year upgrade, compared to ridiculous claim of 7 years that Google promised.

      I own both Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. If you prefer a smaller form factor, then definitely go with the Pixel 8! The hand feel is amazing and I find myself grabbing the Pixel 8 over the Pixel 8 Pro because of it. The hardware differences between the two are marginal imo when it comes to everyday use. I'd only consider the Pixel 8 Pro, if you plan on extensive gaming or feel the need for the Pro camera controls. Pixel 8 is also a steal right now! I scooped mine up on promo for $549.

    I have the 8 Pro. One big flaw to me (also applicable to the non pro). The magic editor function they are bragging about doesn't work if your 'photo backup function' is not on. So in the end, if you want to use it, you need again another subscription with some online service where you can't get rid of.
    Fyi, after some testing, when a photo isn't uploaded yet, the function doesn't work, if you don't have an Internet connection, the function doesn't work. Meaning it's not your phone who is doing the AI calculation, but the server @google
    Otherwise fantastic phone.
