Ive had the phone for two weeks and can honestly say i feel no discernable difference from s23 ultra . Everything i did on mys23 ultra i do on my p8p. Amazing device. Fingerprint sensor requires you to hold down for a millisecond longer than galaxy and you get throgh on first press every time. Im not going go complain about a millisecond. Battery life FOR me is exceptional. I unplug before i leave my house and i dont worry about battery . Haptics, amazing . Screen amazing . I get what google is doing snd i enjoy
You work for Google why should we believe you?
@@jevonsims900 🤣🤣 that's the first thing that came to your mind .. seek help
@@jevonsims900 I had to come and laugh again.. so seriously whenever you read something that goes against your pov you immediately chalk it up to shenanigans ? How do you live like that ?
I think people avoid pixel due to the rebranded exynos chipset, and i cannot blame them. Ive heard many complaints about overheating, poor reception and bad battery life.
Hoping for tensor to be better with the pixel 9 pro
My pixel 8 stutters when I have too many apps open
Thats excatly why i havent bought it 😅
I traded my Pixel 7 Pro in on the Pixel 8 Pro and have not had any overheating issues nor any connectivity problems. I don't carry it in my pocket often as I use an S24 for that but the 8 Pro is used daily for pictures, games, and watching videos.
As a Google device user since the days of their Nexus line, I have to agree. Those 3 are their weakest points and need to be fixed to garner more customers.
8:40 "But with the Pixel you hear that constantly." Because it's people's subjective opinion, especially TH-camrs, and Techies. There is a clear difference between the 8 and the Pro 8 that everyone can see and experience. I don't hear the regular man on the street with such an opinion. They just buy what is popular or what they like, prefer, and are accustomed to. They also buy what they can afford at the time. 8:55 "A bigger screen, a bigger battery, and an extra camera isn't enough of a difference to justify the 8 pro price tag of a thousand dollars" Why? That is an opinion! Their competitors have the same identical setup between their phones. Why is it justifiable or perceived justification for them to have a huge price difference between their standard and pro/ultra phones? How much is the price difference between the iPhone 15 and its Pro max counterpart? How much is the price difference between S24 and its Ultra counterpart? Both models of the Pixel 8 are cheaper than their competitors in the U.S. and the price difference between their models.
The iPhone 15 and the 15 Pro/Max are separated with by their chipset (which is huge), battery, display size, camera and now Apple intelligence. I say that is huge isnt it?
@@CallMeKJOS the chipset and that's it. The rest is no different to what google did to justify their 200 price difference between the 8 and the 8 Pro models. For example look at the difference between the 15 pro and pro max! It's identical to the 8 and the 8 pro. (If google had done that with their chipset you all would have been up in arms.) The chip in the standard 15s is from the 14 pro. Outdated! Now tell me what justifies the huge price difference between the G 24 and the ultra.
I couldn't believe you were shooting a video from Hamilton. Loved that overlook shot of downtown and hwy 403. Is it a public lookout. I'm relatively new to the city, and would love to check it out if it is. Thanks for the great review.
I currently have the Google pixel 6 pro, and I've had bug issues on it for a while. Examples like calls won't go through, dropped calls, can't receive calls sometimes, app crashes, mobile data not working all the time, app crashes, etc. I even heard that the Pixel 8 same as the 6 with Android 14 software still has bug issues. I been thinking about buying a new phone, and I been looking at the S24 Ultra, but I would like to get your opinion KJ
The Tensor performance problems stems from the processes used at Samsung's Foundary. Even Samsung Exynos chips have these same issues. Samsung should just pause the chip thing to work out the issues and go harder on the memory side.
My man with another banger. Damn! Your good at it. The video quality is crisp.
The Pixel 8 Pro is an amazing smartphone. If I wasn't a Samsung fan, I'd be stuck with Pixels. Will still buy one and use both when I blow. 😅
Keep up the good work brother. This fellow Nigerian is a huge fan.
Appreciate you bro!
Hello I would like to know how I could have your wallpaper with the orange sofa and the little plant I like it very much I would like to put it on my pixel 7a?
From an app called Backdrop!
Great vid.....keep it up!👍
🙏🏿🙏🏿
Does the Samsung galaxy s24+ have the framerate stutter issue too?
Great video! If you go in the settings, developer setting, you can force the 120hz at all times and then everything seems to run at 120. It does have some caveats, for example the Reddit loading animation logo "bounces" twice as fast and it's funny to see haha.
That's the light ring @2:46? Is that some kind of notification light? Thanks!
Yeah I did that and it doesn't really work for me. That's the face unlock light bro
@@CallMeKJOS Ohhh alright haha. I don't use face unlock but I had a feeling that might be it haha. Thanks!
@@El1988Che face unlock is the truth!
Could you share the 2 wallpapers from 0:20 and 0:22?
Parabéns pelo belo trabalho amigo, comprei um pixel 8 depois de suas análises, aqui no Brasil é difícil pelo preço e importação.
Saudações do brazil 😊
I've had my pixel 8 pro since launch date and will be getting the 9 pro or 9 XL when it comes out
@@Ghostintheshell3551 having the phone , You've probably realized that a lot of the gripes you've read about are non existent . For instance the way they talked about battery life I thought I was gonna have to buy a power Bank , lo and behold it's literally the same exact experience as my s23u.
@@omarreid7222correct! Lots of people talk negative about Pixels because they are Google- Pixels...
Many Samsung fanboys and reviewers only see the processor speed as the holy grail....
I had a few Pixels, all were reliable phones. Cameras and the smooth experience are fantastic!!
So is mine, the Pixel 7 Pro.
As far as I am concerned I will happyily stay at #team Pixel😊
You'll realize a lot of people that have not used a pixel are the ones that bash it the most
Great choice!
I will upgrade from s21 FE to Pixel 9 Pro XL too. Hopefully the preorder bonus will be good. Maybe it is wishfull thinking but the Pixel Buds for the normal 9, the Pixel watch 3 for the 9 Pro and the Pixel watch 3 XL for the 9 Pro XL would be great (and hopefully realistic).
Amazing Video!!! Subscribed!!! is there anyway i can get that red sofa living room wallpaper?
An app called Backdrops.
Is video boost ONLY for video taken ON the 8 pro, or can I 'boost' old video on the 8 pro?
Unfortunately no. You have to use it whole Taking a new video
Great video. What's the wallpaper you're using @ 1:50?
Great review
@@PomskieSaints91 thank you!
Great video! The problem with Pixels is the updates causing catastrophic issues. In addition to certain things like overheating, poor battery life and standby time. Then each year they raise their prices. Should've stuck with undercutting Samsung and Apple. I love the 8 series from a hardware design but it's the glitches and bugs that come with software updates that ruin the experience for me.
General consensus is that tensor needs to be better! I think it will. Just have to give them time
@@CallMeKJOSyes we give them time + our hard earned money
@@tareqxq6606google always tells me "an update will fix this"? It's been 5 months and nothing fixed anything.
Personally, I love my Pixel 8 Pro. Easily the smoothest and cleanest smartphone I have ever owned. The design is also top tier for me 👍🏻 I rarely do anything intensive on my phone like gaming or video processing, so I don't notice any performance differences with other flagships. However, given the price tag, I do agree that they should at least set a standard with the performance for those that want to get every bit of their dollar's worth. Hopefully with Pixel 9, they resolve this.
Agreed!
Yea, might need to get a Samsung after updates end for my 6a, if I can make it.
Android auto+cam call+5g= overheating issues n lag.
Do you think the Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9 series will bring improvements regarding battery life?
no. tensor g5 will. g1 g2 g3 and g4 is just small tweaks.
@@dombarek7820 just because the Tensor 5 will be manufactured by TSMC doesn't 100% mean it will be better. It just means there is a higher probability for things to be different (most likely better, but maybe worse in sine regards).
Even though there is a chance of the g5 being better I will go for the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Even though it is a tiny bit of a gamble I trust google on this one and preorder it.
@@hannesh.3024 what phone you have now?
The video you used to demonstrate video boost is not the best representation of the feature. Try a night time video and you will see that the difference is day and night
I'll try that
THEY CAME OUT THE SAME TIME HOW CAN IT IMPROVE THROUGH SOFTWARE UPDATES TO BETTER?
Software updates improve phones if you didn't know.
Hi is 8pro in £600 worth buying or wait for new model ????
I've just bought 256gb p8p for £ 471 (after trade in for p6p . I'll trade that in for prob £300 against the p10p in 2 yrs time. It's a good deal. I got £236 for my p6p on trade in which I thought was generous.
Hi, I have the regular s23. Would the Pixel 8 pro be a noticeable upgrade? I can get the Pixel 8 pro for a very good price. Thank you very much for the video.
Don't do it. S23 is far better than Pixel 8.
It isn't. Get the pixel 8 pro.
Thanks for the answers guys. I had the Pixel 6 before the S23. The S23 is snappy but somehow soulless. I'm going to get the Pixel 8 Pro. Should be enough for the next two years.
@@filipp7418 you can also wait for the pixel 9 pro. It's out in August. Or at least announced.
@@CallMeKJOS I live in Germany and can buy the Pixel 8 Pro new for 600 euros and sell my s23 used for 550 euros. The Pixel 9 Pro would be very expensive and I don't think the 2024/25 flagships will be much better than the 2023 for everyday use.
I wanted to switch from my iPhone 14 Pro to the Google pixel 8 last week (same size) it was about $725 CAD after taxes but I couldn’t pull the trigger, I kept reading reviews about how shitty the phone is and wouldn’t be a good long term phone.
I used the google 7 pro few years ago but switched to the iPhone 14 Pro.
What did you end up doing!?
@@CallMeKJOS sticking with the iPhone 14 Pro.
Hi. May i ask about the video boost on google Phone? Is it the same with the HDR10+ on the S24 series? Right?
No, it's not the same. Pixel 8 Pro also has 10-bit HDR mode. Video Boost is something completely separate.
at this point I def wouldn't spend more than $500 on a pixel period. I would like the big screen but I'm not paying $1000 just for a bigger screen that's wild. I'll prob just end up leaving pixel and grabbing a bigger screen and battery for $400
Moto G Stylus 5G is a great phone at a great price.
Link to your wallpaper
App called Backdrops
if Google ever gave the construction of its processors to tsmc or Qualcomm, it would be the most perfect phone in the world, I think it would make the shade to Samsung and other big leaders in the market.
We'll see what happens. But i feel they'll get it right soon
If they had sticked to Qualcomm with their clean software they would have been the best handest money can buy
The competition is still ahead of pixel in terms of performance because of tensor soc bummer 😞
Tensor serves the average user more than admirably . Benchmarks are for computers
@@omarreid7222WordisBond. Exactly this!
@@omarreid7222 Totally agree, Pixels run very smoooooth because of Tensor chips👍
@@leonvanlent5069 I know mine definitely does. Lemme guess you're on one right now right 👍
@@omarreid7222 you say this but the battery life and performance for a $700+ phone is lackluster, sure they didn't say it was for gaming but if you're paying close to a grand it should be able to, I have an 8 and an S24 and I'm always reminded that google has never had a solid phone without screwing something up
6:48 wallpaper please, looks great
It's from an app called Backdrops!
This will be my last pixel device till google contracts TSMC for its chipset.
We'll see
According to a road map that leaked around the Pixel 6 release, this will be the Pixel 10 (it was real as it has been accurate so far). The Pixel 9 is barely more powerful (yes that already leaked with live photos) and still uses Samsung foundry sadly. They will probably try to make a big jump with the Pixel 10, and put more AI features on the Pixel 9s (Pixel 9 has 12Gb of RAM, Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL 16Gb so that's likely the case)
In India Pixel 8 is $600 and S23 is $500 approx. Would S23 be a better option for me?
Pixel 8 bro
Enjoy your reviews. Almost went with 8 pro, wanted a change from Samsung. Ended up going with the OnePlus 12.
Thank you 🙏🏿🙏🏿
OP 12 best
@@davidbrown6137 Only the selfie camera is mediocre, so not flagship 😢
@@Armando.Krijnen I don't do selfies
I returned the OP12. Wifi connections was terrible. I have a new good modem.
hesitates between the 8 and the 8 pro. The price of the 8 pro becomes affordable. Need advice ?
Pixel 8 pro!
@@CallMeKJOS Thanks
Wait for the pixel 9. It will be announced in less than 2 months
@@damiadeola7529 there's this too actually!

I disagree with some of your points in your review here. The camera on the Pixel is still way better compared to the iPhone 15 pro and S24u and my friends with iPhones prefer to use my pixel 8p to take pictures. The only thing the pixel is still bad at is taking videos. You don't need 120hz while using Facebook or Twitter 🙄 processor needs to be better but the pixel is still buttery smooth and fast while using it.
I'm a former Samsung S series user and there are differences between the regular and ultra S phones.
Everything you just said here. I said. Lol like literally.
Worst phone ever too many software issues my phone was freezing since March and google still have not fix it as yet I got one month of good service from a 1000 dollard phone ridiculous
Please, do not use term "shutter lag" with Pixel 8 Pro. Together with iPhone, this is the only smartphone on the market where you can rely on proper shutter. Does it take slower pictures? Yes, but the outcome is great. And when you combine it with Best Take, it is perfect. I still use S24U, but Pixel 8 Pro is still a great phone.
I love my pixel 8 pro but the performance isnt good enough for me compared to my 14 pro max. I will be switching to samsung s24 ultra.
Curious , What do you do on your phone ?
@@omarreid7222 mostly gaming (call of duty) and like texting, calls. Whenever I switch from 14 pro max to pixel, I always notice the big difference in performance and it is very disappointing.
@@Geoxmind yah I need to try call of duty and see for myself . I play squad busters and it plays flawlessly . I think Google doesn't wanna come out and say it explicitly " we don't care about gaming ". Which they don't .. clearly . But everything else I've done on this phone has been fine. Browsing TH-cam streaming .. no complaints
If you do any gaming or heavy multitasking, Apple or Any Android using the gen 2 or 3 Snapdragon is the way to go. I got the s24u, 13 pro, and pixel 8 pro. IMO only thing pixel has over the other is just the camera taking pictures that's it. It runs hot, battery doesn't last as long. It's a big disappointment. My s24u and 13 pro spanks the pixel 8 pro in everything else. Trading it in when the latest Android running the next gen snapdragon comes out.
I dont no what i was thinking listening to these novice reviews
@@khaddaffi30 then don't. Watching something else.
Why do you still call it twitter though? X sounds much nicer.
I was on Twitter the period it started around 2010/2011. Been a user since. It's hard for me to start calling something after a decade another name entirely.
Because he can? Lol. How does "Ex" sound nicer in your brain anyway? Low IQ?
