Tech videos on TH-cam often tend to be overly serious, lacking the element of genuine enjoyment during tech reviews. Your videos are a breath of fresh air in this space! I'm really enjoying the lighthearted approach and fun you bring to your content. Keep up the fantastic work!
Exactly! I feel the same way. Loved this energy from this video, made me feel happy
bro's dissing mkbhd
btw i agree too
@@mayank.murpanimkbhd is so boring, you can tell he doesn't even like what he's doing anymore
@@outcastrileythat's true.
Seeing the same consistent videos on his setups with similar reviews are boring.
Reviews should be unexpected and unique instead of repetitive and consistent...
I had every iphone since the very first one and I just switched to pixel 8 yesterday. The learning curve is dramatic but I have to agree with your comments about how good the pixel 8 is.
is pixel 8 better than iph 15?
Notifications are better, you don't need to open the pay app to pay, just present the phone from the lockscreen, you can share any images from any apps just by sliding it on the share button. You don't need to make a screenshot of the screen and select the part you want to send. Gestures are better, Google assistant can read any web pages aloud and many More
I've used both 15 pro and Pixel 8. 15 pro is just as good if not better in some cases (airdrop, video quality, log shooting, app quality) but the pixel 8 is literally $1000 cheaper and does many things better than the 15 pro (screen call, Google assistant, photo editing ai, copy paste drawer, multi tasking) if money wasn't an issue. I'd get both 15 pro and Pixel 8 @@nickchkheidze9189

Just downloaded updf 🎉
Lmao I'm dead. "How cool would it be to screen call your wife!?"
went down to comments right after I've heard it just to see this comment lmao
Famous last words…
Even though my main sim is in the Pixel, the iPhone is my secondary business phone. Real work can't be done for me only on Android yet.
This couldn't have been said better!
What's "real work"
Try base s23
@@senzatieeeif you watched the video, right before the sponsor segment, he said there are some apps that are only on iOS (for their camera etc.)
I'll make another video on 'real work' for me. I'm literally messaging the app developers to give some love to Android.@@senzatieee
Moved back to Android with the Pixel 8. I think you're right, they have made a super polished experience. I totally dig this phone.
What about 8 pro?
@@Kakeguru117 I can't really speak for the 8 pro, but the software experience should be almost identical to the Pixel 8. It's a bigger phone with more ram and camera features.
Probably the best phone in the market but very underrated.
Makes me just want to scream with joy knowing you just realized happy you were and how great the #Pixel expreience is off the bat!!! Welcome and new sub btw 👍🏼
The fact that all these AI editing features will keep getting better with each update makes it more interesting.
Reveiws like this are so rare, real life, relatable and honestly entertaining while giving us the info we need - thanks!
This was the most fun tech video I've seen. Continue doing what you do, you are meant to be big. The review was great with practical testing!
For me... This is the best channel on TH-cam. I relate so much to this guy while simultaneously being so different. I love everything about his lifestyle.
Agree👍🏾
What a lovely family bro, God bless your love ones
Switched from iPhone 13 to pixel 8 a few weeks ago, I love this thing so much.
I'm confused whether to buy ip 13 or pixel 8 . I'm worried about battery screen on time on pixel though
@@jameswalesas2908 honestly, my iPhone 13 was averaging around 3-4 hours on screen time. Pixel 8 averages about 4-5 hours on 4g but I stream a lot of music and watch TH-cam. Both are great phones, but pixel 8 is definitely refreshing. At least for me!
@@jameswalesas2908it should be much better now. the iphone 13 is also the iphone to change the battery from bad/ok to good i think it will be good either way you go it doends on what you need otherwise than battery camera both got
@@jameswalesas2908
Pixel 8 if its vs ip13 …. If its ip15 vs pixel8 , depends on which device you were using previously…
True, there are different factors that play in, but to me , the pixel is a better value compared to the 15. I tried out pixel 8 because the iphone 15 would have just been a newer version of iphone 13 just with dynamic island and a "updated design".
iOS and Android are great, guess it just depends on your flavor of OS.
Finally a real review! Thanks man i kept the box sealed untill today but today i will switch from the 14 Pro max to the P8P!
I was on the fence about upgrading to the P8. Thank you for the thoughtful and informative review.
Did you buy it?
@@thomashelbay no, I didn't. The trade-in value was terrible and I didn't like the price hike. I'm actually looking at the Motorola edge 2023. If I traded my pixel 7 for it, the phone will cost me $99. Lol
Hahah too good!
@@phillipperez3358Motorolas dont get many software or security updates but if thats not an issue for you then go for it!!
This video is authentic. It was genuine, and you took the time to show us the features that you love with the phone. And it just seems so pure. I haven’t watched a review like this in a while. I’m glad I watched it. I hope you have a blessed day, and I will subscribe. Thank you for making excellent content.
Found your channel while contemplating a switch to iOS from my S22U and absolutely loved this take on the Pixel and android ecosystem.
Might still switch because I've been on Android for 15 years (bored) but you now have a new sub!
Keep doing what you guys are doing!
I love the way you included your entire family in the video! Very well done!👍
btw if you press the rainbow button at the bottom of the picture editor, the magic eraser works way better cause the one under tools is just the basic one you get with all androids but the rainbow one is the actual google pixel exclusive feature
Ooooooooo had no idea.
Fun review! I think the one area the Pixel 8 could really improve is battery drain - standby drain through the night is in the realm of 1-1.3% per hour which I think is pretty poor (ideally I would expect something like 0.5% or less), combined with a pretty fast drop in regular use, especially on 5G. Not sure if the Big G can improve/ fix this via software update, or is it deeper in the G3 hardware?
I think, they can still get this fixed via an update. It's more about an adjustment on how much battery the apps and system are training, rather than the chip. At least, I've been pretty alright with the battery. Don't know if they fixed that in an update over the last two months, but yeah.
I really like the "scuffed" set up on the later part of the video where your kids are in the video as well. Road to 100k!
I love the tech and family vibes! keep it coming!
I really love your black and white theming on all the devices they look sooo good
Just discovered your channel yesterday. Love it!
Cant agree more using my Pixel 8 Pro. Have been team Pixel since Pixel 2 (ok, had a quick trip to Huawei land for couple of years), but since 4A have been rocking Pixels again. The camera on 8 pro is just killing it!
Also love your content, great humour! And as a father of two, can relate to so much in yiur videos!
Recently watched the boss with harmony OS interface
I'm impressed with Huawei
I wish Google & Qualcomm can just partner with them
But Google sticks with HTC or LG I think
Ive had a pixel 2xl but heavy damage and it still worked after 2years i upgraded to the 5 then the 6 to 8 pro
I have used 3a for more than 3 years, Its not the fastest but till I will chose it over any other phone if it retains its speed, The form factor was just too awesome. And cant complain about the pixels for cameras.
Had a Iphone 13 Pro and switched to the Pixel 8 Pro. Love it! Call screen is amazing, camera is top notch and battery life has been great.
I've just bought my first Iphone 13 Pro. So many cons comparing to Androids. But the one thing that I like about my phone is camera. Photos and videos are amazing! After switching, can you say that Pixel 8 has better video and picture quality than Iphone 13 Pro?
Video is amazing, and I love the natural and genuine content. Im on the fence about switching from my iPhone 14 Pro to the Pixel 8 Pro. This defintiely helped
ohooo wait few more weeks for my next video on the Pixel.
I don't comment on TH-cam videos.. like, ever. Really refreshing to see a different approach / take to product reviews. Much more natural, entertaining and humbling. And your daughters are adorable. You've gained a subscriber 😊
i feel you bro when i got the pixel 6 pro a year ago, was a leap of faith
You are right, tensor will get there like right up there with snapdragon and bionic performance but it will take at least 2 more pixels to get there and that’s the minimum till pixel 10 is my guess.
Just discovered your channel. I like your approach in reviewing device, it's so natural and genuine. keep up the good work man!
Amazing as usual … also the noise is perfect in the bg … perfect combination of tech and wholesomeness… also I’d switch to pixel for the photo editing tricks but cant just throw up ecosystem benefits like iCloud Photo Library on the stock photos app and also after all the years , iphone homescreen feels like home .. i will just buy ip15 and call it a day😂 …. My ipad -airpods - watch will never be the same with an android phone .. apple cage sucks
If I wasn't a tech youtuber, I would probably never have dabbled into Android land. It's a good thing staying in Apple cage, more benefits on that side. Since I still use iPad, airpods and macbook Pro. It's just my phone. Screen call and editing tricks sold me.
@@thesamuelnam yep … keep up the good work mate…
@@thesamuelnam The editing tricks are available on google photos iPhone btw, its not even specific to the pixel phone
@@xnewman96x lol it's not. Just tried on my iPhone. It's not even available on other android Google photos app. It's exclusive to pixel.
@@thesamuelnam I used magic eraser on my iPhone the other day
This guy is gonna blow up soon!
I genuinely smile when I watch your video. I enjoy watching it. Keep up
The last thing I was expecting to see was my Android 14 concept at 0:18 haha! Love the content btw, keep it up!
No way. The man who created that watched my video!? Sorry for not crediting. I'll add it to description. I legit thought it was from Google lol
@@thesamuelnam I've been bingeing your videos all month, I feel the same way about the fact that you watched one of mine! Thanks for the credit :)
I just saw your keyboard review/reaction for the lofree keyboard. And now watching this. Awesome video mate! Now I wanna get a pixel 8. 👌
This video gave inspiration to start a YT channel, I have been too shy to start one because every videos I watch on YT are all well furnished and finished professionally but this video just shows how YT is supposed to be. And I’m going to buy pixel.
Just got mine yesterday! Imma update it and customize it today. Tomorrow i take my first pictures!!! So excited.
I'll subscribe just on the humor aspect hahahah! That guy definitely subbed after buying the earbuds!
never enjoyed any tech video this much. lots of love and support
That kiddo in the back be like, "I like your words magic man"
It is about time Sam, very happy you are finally trying a pixel
What a guy! What a family! What a video!
hey man, I am from Iran. Also, I am fan of your work. You do great. Keep up.
I just subscribed because of the humour... Love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Sam you're great! Can't wait your next upload
Definitely getting the pixel because of this. Plus you're the most exciting tech TH-camr I've watched
I want to get a pixel 8 .. that standby drain is crazy though!
really enjoyed this different style of a tech review. you've gained a new sub!
FYI Screen calling works on Samsung too with Bixby... (I'm no samsung fanboi - but its worth knowing as I think most people have no idea)
you make the most organic reviews out their
This is my favourite tech review video ever, it felt so wholesome, subscribed and liked! Keep making such good ones man
Watched one video. Ran to subscribe. Your content is valid and honest and your family is adorable! Im sticking around!
Just discovered you and subscribed after watching this video. I've had my Pixel for 2 weeks now as my secondary device, S23 is my main device. You seem super genuine and not biased at all! Def looking forward to future videos!
Also, I hope you stick with pixel it's definitely giving me a tough time staying with my S23!
Yeah, Pixel experience blew my mind. Thanks for noticing the genuine review. I have no one to impress or persuade except myself, so I'll say it as it is.
Your video was refreshing and very lively... Thank you
Love that lovely noise in the background 😅❤
lol. I’ll have her speaking behind every sponsor read.
The originality of ur videos are next level at this point I'm sold no one can do what u do.
Im watching these videos back to back nd I'm not even tired 😂
Big fan brother 😊.🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩. Extra ordinary .
About the standby drain. Try the phone facedown for the night so the display is not active
I love your personality! Keep doing what you do best!
Using both Samsung and Pixel, just that animation thing is great, but I still prefer Samsung because of screen quality, speakers, S pen, zoom capability, build quality, photo album app, Sound Assistant, (alows you to use audio of multiple apps at the same time), One Hand Operation+ and so on.
I also do have an iPhone, but I use it just because of Airdrop.
Maybe you are just too obsessed with Apple and can only accept something similar to it which is Team Pixel.
Yes they are. I was but Samsung changed my point of view, you can feel that it was made with love and not mediocrity for money.
You have a beautiful family. I just switched back to pixels and I'm also in love.
What a funny coincidence, the last couple of days I started thinking about switching back to Android after about 6 years of using iPhones. The recent Pixel models seemed really appealing to me right away and last night I stumbled upon your videos. I'm currently using an iPhone 12 Mini and I think it's a good phone although I'm kinda fed up with Apple's jail and their so called innovations, which led me to consider switching again. Nice videos, you seem like a good person!
Check out the pixel 8 if you’re itching to switch. Or if you can, hold till pixel 10. That’ll fix the chip efficiency issue.
Just sold my 13 pro max tho lol for a pixel device
I nvr liked iPhones coz of their limitations but I always asked myself why they felt so smooth and optimised.... everything 99 percent of the time worked as intended rather than all the androids I had ever used where things were simply not meant for each other and not optimised at all....until I touched my friends pixel 5... That phone felt like an iPhone running Android....then I was told pixels own the android OS... that's why the OS feels super optimised coz it's meant for pixels...that's how Google meant for the OS to be....am still collecting money to acquire a pixel atleast a 6 cos mane that's the phone I dreamt about for yrs not knowing it existed....
Buy pixel 7a
Well be prepared for a bad modem and overheating using twitter
don't go 6 , go atleast on 7 and up, the processor are way more stabilize than on the 6
Don't buy the Pixel 6! That's a very buggy device! I returned my one and ditched it from Google! iPhone just works flawlessly.

Hey Samuel, I was just scouting for pixel 8 real world usage videos to get a better understanding of the upcoming 8a that I am planning to buy and stumbled upon your videos in the recommendation list just after watching TheUnlockr's video, have to say your a totally different vibe compared to the most reviewers out there, I enjoyed a lot and especially the mention of "retired people" for acrobat. Subscribed!
Thanks man. Check out my latest video did a 3 day in the life with it compared to Zenfone 10.
Honestly, I love this form of the video presentation. It is so relatable. You deserve my subscription and done ✅
I was already loving the video style but the documentary stuff had me convinced. Thank you, easiest sub of my life
Great video, love your family! You are all very blessed!
A very great thumbnail jumped out at me very quickly. Great video
This is literally the first time I'm watching one of your videos and I think I'm here to stay
My man, you have one of the best tech channels I've ever watched. Your family is precious and sweet.
I just found this channel and i think this is the most wholesome channel to ever exist.
You deserve more brother
Love from Bangladesh ❤
What an awesome video I’m definitely sticking around to watch this channel grow. Great unbiased reviews much love from WA
Man, your channel is incredible!! Hello from Brazil!!
How come I didn't see this videk until after I ordered my Pixel 8? It will be delivered tomorrow and I definitely got extra extra excited after watching your video. Your channel truly js a hidden gem. Please keep up the awesome work. Subscribed! 🎉
I think you can get that Zoom control app on iPad.
Jabyyyyyyy

Loved this video and you! Keep making videos
So glad to always see your videos! One question, IM currently rocking the Pixel 8 Pro and I know that you are someone that uses their phone quite a bit due to work, so why wouldnt you get the Pixel 8 Pro instead of the standard 8? Anyways, Love bro
Loving your videos Samuel, very refreshing ! Are you missing the Apple watch with this switch?
Yes. Android watches are just crap. Pretty. But crap house.
Dude it's been a WHILE since I actually enjoyed a tech review! You're a breath of fresh air! Usually tech reviewers have such high standards compared to the average user which makes people so indecisive when it comes to choosing their next phone. I had the iPhone 13 Pro Max and bought the Pixel 8 Pro and let me tell you, you are totally right! I do miss certain things about the iPhone like the amazing speakers and the heavenly bass but I much prefer the Pixel 8 Pro for the rest especially the photo editor and the assistant cause it's way better than Siri who got dumber through the years for some reason 🤷♂ And I much prefer the price of the Pixel phones. You've got a new subscriber 👍
In battery standby test you did, the phone was just a day from factory. It ate battery during standby because it was doing it's background optimization. After a few days of using your Pixel 8, it will blow out both Zenfone and iPhone in battery.
Pixel 8 and we’re both a few months used. Zenfone was a few more months used. I’ve used pixel 8 since launch. Battery ain’t no where near as good as Zenfone.
I love the vibes. Subbed
Smoothest transition to a sponsored ad. Seamless
Pixel is the phone that drags me out of the Apple ecosystem every few iterations.. they seem to be releasing more genuinely useful software/features than iPhone and I’ve always found assistant way more helpful than Siri. A few generations ago it was the ‘hold for me’ feature that blew my mind.
your baby is absolutely adorable
2:46 just be careful, and dont get killed
Quite enjoyed the vid. Love finding Australian content creators.
so about the airdrop situation, there's nearby share, there's also nearby share for pc, and there's also an open source app that let fool your macbook to think that the android phone is an airdrop device
You make great videos! And you have a wonderful family too - cherish these moments. Pixel phone looks good - but not sure I can switch from iPhone. Keep up the great videos.
Tried 8 pro for 3 weeks, returned back and got 15 pro max. It's so much better and diff level⬆️⬆️⬆️
Btw I'd love for you to get your hands on Motioncam app! RAW video on an Android, how does that sound?
thanks for creating videos! :)
"You look AMAZING 🌹". Perfect execution

Call screening isnt actually google only. New motorolas have them as well!
oh you're right~ that's awesome. We need this to be standard across all phones. Can't get over how useful it is. Get a kick out of pressing screen call when I think it's spam.
@thesamuelnam ikr!? It's sooooooo useful. I switched to an s23 when I dropped my moto 5g ace in a river (whoops) on a camping trip and it's one of the features I miss the most, second only to the robust gesture controls motos have had for the past 4 or 5 years, phenomenal overlooked midrange phones!
that feature alone is what made me put my main sim into it@@MyaSooon
Your video is refreshing.
Your channel deserve better exposure.
Android has built-in "AirDrop" called "Nearby Share"
You can "AirDrop" your file to your Windows Laptop.
So... it becomes the ecosystem.
If you fully commit to Android+Windows ecosystem, you miss nothing as in features.
I use Windows PC, Android Smartphone, and Android Tablet. I can transfer every files, link, clipboard, like nothing.
The problem is I am using Samsung which has bad integration with Windows.
I cannot continue my browsing in Samsung Internet in my PC. If I am using chrome, I miss the Smartphone x Tablet integration which is really convenient.
