Still rocking my Pixel 5 no issues other than storage full at 128gb and the speaker not so loud anymore. But other thing is mine is the last phone that gives free unlimited photos storage
@@RyanNewby that was my first Pixel phone. It gave me 2 years and 9 months before i had several problems that made using it annoying. Slowed processing, out of internal storage, poor battery life, the speaker blew, and front camera would buzz and get blurry whenever you tried to use it. My P5 at 2 years 2 months now has internal storage full and a speaker issue but i feel like the latter is software related because it's intermittent
I've come from 7 Pro to 8 Pro, there's a massive difference between the two phones. I don't agree with upgrading every year, but there is a huge difference. Flat screen, better battery, so much faster, face unlock is so much better too.
@RyanNewby I just upgraded my Pixel 3 to the Pixel 8. I did it for the 7 years of software updates. No more new phones as long as I don't break or lose my phone.
I went into Best Buy last night and traded my pixel 7 in for the pixel 8 since that was such I great deal just cost me $ 270 They sent the earbuds the next day I love the smaller size
I do not trust these shortly afrer release reviews. They always overpraise the new phone minor adjustments. No need to change your one year old Pixel 7.
The main funny (actually not funny) point is how most reviewers compare the battery life of the brand new phone, with the battery life of a phone that has been used for a year.
I am on Google Fi (going on 7 years now) and I went ahead and upgraded from Pixel 7 to Pixel 8 Pro - LOVE the feel of the Pixel in hand and it was a super easy transition/transfer of all my data from 7 to 8 Pro. With trade-in and discounts, I paid $651 with tax! I got the cutest case too :D Review coming soon but I loved how you compared the two.. new subscriber here (I just discovered you in my feed - great comparison thank you!)
Substantially battery life and the phone not getting super hot in summer are the only reasons why I would upgrade. And I'm not sure it will be substantially better so I'll wait a year or I'll just switch to a different brand
Maybe it's just because I'm old, but.... I usually run my Pixels (including the 8, which i got just a day or two ago) with the regular battery saver on. I don't really notice any difference, but that's just me. Unplugged the charger about 6:30am. It's now 11:30pm, and i have 37% left, with over 9 hrs of SoT. No complaints here. I love it!
Great vid, as always, Mark -- thanks! Sounds as if fundamentally there isn't much of a difference between the 7 and the 8 for the recreational user. I've got a new(ish) 7 now (256gb) and will probably be keen to go to the 9 next year, as I suspect Google will introduce significant enough changes to the Pixel (a la from 5 to 7) that it would be worth the $$ to upgrade. See you next year on that! 💡
Traded in my pixel, seven pro for the pixel eight pro and it’s definitely an improvement. Things are buttery smooth. The screen is wonderful. There’s lots of new little touches. It feels better in their hand. It’s overall big improvement because there’s lots of small improvement. Glad I did it.
Dude you should REALLY teach yourself how to do a really good impression of Charlie Day (from the show Always Sunny in Philadelphia) because you look a lot like his character! You could be a dead ringer if you had the voice nailed down! Youd probably get a lot of attention at bars/parties with that.. you've been given a gift! Don't waste it!
Just bought a renewed Pixel 7, in like-new condition, for just $297.74 (+tax). Great phone! Maybe I'll catch Pixel 9 or 10 when I can pick one up renewed at a huge discount like I did my Pixel 7.
Great video! We need more content on the regular pixel 8. I love what I’ve seen of it so far, but I’m wondering what kind of screen on time it gets and if standby time is improved?
I have many more videos on the 8 coming this week! :) I'm getting around 6.5 hours on the 8. Very impressive. The 8 Pro Is getting me around 7 hours, even slightly more depending on my use
@@MarksTech that’s awesome :) I look forward to your videos because they are super informative and help me decide when I’m buying a new phone. That is really great sot on the pixel 8. My metric usually is if it gets 6 hours or more of sot being a flagship device then it has good battery life. Funny thing is after the bugs of the last few pixels and the tensor chip issues I thought I was done with pixel devices. But I keep coming back to them because I love stock android and all the cool pixel features. Definitely looks like the year where Google made significant improvements and upgrades.
I was on the edge deciding between the 2 phones upgrading from a Samsung A32 5g. Seems the Pixel 8 is the best choice for me. Thank you for the video greatly appreciate it.
I was going to get the Pixel 8 but since Google doesn't distribute Pixel phones in México the only option I have is through Amazon, but right now the Pixel 8 is aprox 23,000 mx pesos (around 1,270 dollars converted) which is insane, and the Pixel 7 just droped to 8700 mx (around 480 dollars) so the difference in prices is almost 3 times cheaper to get the las year Pixel 7, and I would LOVE to get the Pixel 8 instead of the 7 but Im no stupid cause that price gap is insane, I get it just came out but cmon. So I rather get the Pixel 7, save a lot of money and in a few years maybe get the Pixel 10 or idk which hopefully has faster charging speeds, a beter chipset etc.
Wow ... that's a bummer I just assumed that Pixel phones were for sale in Mexico , depending where you at in Mexico you should visit San Diego for a day .
@@jejunamja Yeah, I've thought about it cause I live in Monterrey, close to Texas but still I think getting the Pixel 7 is the best for me, giving that I'm still a student I prefer stpend less money since I don't have a lot of income and get a better phone once I'm graduated
The only problem with these videos is that trade ins and deals only happen for buyers in the U.S. If you are in any other country you basically get screwed. I think all the cell phone manufactures are rip off artists. Best way is to get a one year old refurbished and forget the marketing crap.
I went to best buy.. looked at the 8 and 8 pro cameras compared to my 7 pro and i wasnt really impressed.. they still look good but its almost exactly like my 7 pro
@@marksouthwell4490 yea I agree. And you would think with the disappointment on the camera upgrade side that Google would really upgrade the battery life, cellular connection and heating issues but it's all the same.
@@jasondefelice2710 I think the main improvement is the display, particularly the brightness., manual brightness too.Maybe improved hardware as in a slightly better build . Cameras are pretty good on the 6 and 7 series anyway, can't see how they can improve on this at the moment 😊
I had a look at the pixel 8. It feels more comfortable to hold , bit more solid. The display is brighter and more vibrant in manual standard mode, the whites appear cleaner , albeit in this mode its not 2000 or 1500 nits like peak brightness or the HDR thingy . Must be just over 600 nits in standard manual mode using the slider
I upgrade every year because of the trade-in value at Best buy. My pixel 8 cost me less than $200. I traded in a seven. I used the $100 gift card. Best buy
Nope every year there's gonna be a new faster and better phone and expensive one . Who's gonna buy it ? Aah people with money! My pixel 7 gonna be arriving tomorrow here in India gonna use it for as long as possible 10 years. I gonna be fine with my pixel 7🙂
I was in Vodafone today and I must say I was very disappointed with the pixel 8 pros camera….like the selfie camera was just so bad maybe it was because it’s a demo unit? The s23 ultra demo unit camera was wayyy better
The pixel 8 is really not much of an upgrad from 6 , let alone 7. It's sad that they just pushed it out with crippled software compared to a pro model and expect people to buy. I dont like pixel 6 all that much, but i dont think 8 is much better. I dont want to go back to Samsung, but google it making me. I love clot android
This is one of my gripes that these reviews never touch on. And the 7 overheated taking basic pictures and videos all summer... my guess is that the 8 does too but no one will notice in October and these reviewers who use the phone for a week won't mention. Just a tip though, if you are really frustrated with the fingerprint sensor, ditch the glass screen protector and go with just plastic unless you really think you will break the glass, plastic will protect from scratch and the fingerprint sensor works well with the plastic. I think you should be able to use glass but plastic will allow the reader to actually work if you get really frustrated
Do you know if the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro now finally support/offer Display Port Alt Mode (DP over USB-C)?? Natively, from the USB Port of the phone, and without any separate Display Port Adapter? Samsung Phones nearly all support DP Alt Mode natively, but the Pixels 5,6,7 didn't.
I currently have pixel 7 and on Google fi with financing 5 months so far if i were to finance an 8 would that be an additional line would finance cost basically double?
I hope the battery life is good not just now that it's new but after a few months of use. Paying+1000€ for a phone to only work well for the first few weeks is not funny
My question is about high end gaming. I got a game on my 7 pro that causes screen flickering, even on low graphics. I wouldn't want that to happen on the 8 pro.
I have given up on Google pixel phones, the tenser SOC is ok at best. I got rid of my pixel 7 as I couldn’t video for more than 4 minutes without the phone overheating, plus it was full of bugs! Ended up with an oppo and it’s been superb…
Also if you could do a social media camera test again, against the s23 ultra and 15 pro max. It'd be cool to see how they've improved and if those are finally optimized for Android or at least this android phone
The battery life is not the same the pixel 8 definitely last longer from my day to day use, about 10-15% longer... It's a brighter screen but it's also smaller.
I guess it depends on what you do. I haven't personally noticed any discernable difference that can be proven time and time again. But, for some, it may last slightly longer
@@5150crazyfun that's different from person to person I typically get 4:50-5:05 on pixel 7, yesterday was first full day of pixel 8 and I got around low 6 hours

i hate ultra hdr it's to brigth and i couldn't understand what happends to pixel photos and i was nervous, when i turn it off i saw that pixele look and i calmed down
Yeah but is the Pixel 8 worth it 150 eur difference? Pixel is not officially in my country so I have to buy through third party resellers, Pixel 7 starting from 410 eur while pixel 8 is from 550 eur. Which one should I get?
I had to get a new phone after my pixel 2 died. Now I have the 7 and I can not wait to trade it in for an 8a. It's too expensive, heavy, the cases are all garbage, and they got rid of lots of features I loved on my 2.
Oh and my favorite, you can't stream to your TV with new pixels, you HAVE to use a Google brand Chromecast. Google is just like apple now, thank you Capitalism for decreasing quality, limiting options, and planned obsolescence for our fucking phones.
Why would I want to use my face as unlock for my bank app ?.... too risky 😂 i wonder why they downgrade with the 8 some of us just want a nice android alternative for the iPhone 15pro .. i like the matte coating on the back ..it looks more premium
@@MarksTech He may also be referring to face unlock in general. I am not a lawyer but I have researched it a bit and I believe the police can legally force use face unlock and fingerprint to unlock phones for access. I am not worried about this happening to me and have nothing to hide but I do not like the idea of forgoing my right to no self incrimination per the fifth amendment. I have my pixel set up so that I can easily lock down my phone so that my pin is required to unlock it and they cannot force you to give up your pin. I don't want face unlock at all.
@@jctcaj police can't force biometrics to unlock a phone just as they can't force you into providing your pin. That's why police try and go to the actual manufacturer of the phone to try and get them to open it instead, and of course, most don't comply
@@MarksTech I don't believe it's as cut and dry as you think, I just had this discussion with my very intelligent nephew and with a little research he admitted that this isn't settled yet, and when it comes to our justice system they are known to push the boundaries knowing that most people are not going to ever resist them.
@jctcaj I've studied criminal justice in Florida, as well as have friends living there that work in local and state PDs and they can ask and demand all they want, but those are just scare tactics. They told me themselves lol. Even if they have a search warrant, they can't physically make you unlock your phone. A search warrant just means they can TRY to unlock your phone legally and anything they find can be used against you

No, you can do unlocked phones too
Best Buy offering $450 for Pixel 7 trade in unlocked.
damn I might go get one then that's a good deal!

What about pixel 8 vs pixel 7 pro?
I was loooking at the price in mexico and the price for the 7 pro is lower than the 8, not the pro
great video🔥💯
Thank you :)
Didn't notice much difference. Maybe I just wait for the Pixel 9 Pro much later on as I didn't even digest the hidden features of the 7 yet.
I think the only noticeable difference is the display and improved brightness. Google has almost caught up with Samsung in the display department 😊
i bought the blue pixel 8 pro, but for me its a little to big but like the color, side info, i never use a smartphone 7 years lol
It's funny I had the pixel 8 and changed it for the pixel 7 as I prefer the feel of the 7 in the hand!
Are you satisfied with your pixel 7 ?
I have the pixel 4 xl is it worth upgrading for performance gaming? 🤔
I can get the pixel 8 for £214 with Amex cashback and trade in. But I can get the pixel 7 with free case and google charging stand for £92. I am still undecided which one to choose. Please advise.
Great vid! Btw, how do the selfie cameras compare?
Pretty much the same. Just HDR is better on the 8
Can you do a snapchat/ social media test again??? :)
wow, 7 years, definitely upgrade. Then next year, another video, you should definitely upgrade to the pixel 9.
That's the plan!:)
Does the Pixel 8 overheat while shooting 4k videos?
i hate ultra hdr it's to brigth and i couldn't understand what happends to pixel photos and i was nervous, when i turn it off i saw that pixele look and i calmed down
I'm not getting a trade in offer anywhere near what you got from Best buy for Pixel 7
Yeah but is the Pixel 8 worth it 150 eur difference? Pixel is not officially in my country so I have to buy through third party resellers, Pixel 7 starting from 410 eur while pixel 8 is from 550 eur. Which one should I get?
Will pixel 7 get Camera AI upgrade of Pixel 8 in updation of software....
Unfortunately not! The new G3 chip is required to handle all the AI processing
P5 vs P8 on look n feel?
Am on the 6A, Am thinking to upgrade but I don't need to yet. Idk.
Hey man I got the Pixel 8 and my volume and power buttons wobble back and forth. Do yours do it at all? Was wondering if it was a cause for concern.
Is it worth upgrading from pixel 6 to pixel 8?
1000%
Well, the iPhone 6S did get 7 years. Just saying.
Has the pixel eight got a glossy back?
yes
Unfortunately yes :(
Im wondering if i should trade my s23u for the pixel 8 pro 🤔 😅
Hmmmmmm. I'd say maybe! But I think it would be a good idea to wait for the S24 Ultra to make your decision.
@@MarksTech thanks
I had to get a new phone after my pixel 2 died. Now I have the 7 and I can not wait to trade it in for an 8a.
It's too expensive, heavy, the cases are all garbage, and they got rid of lots of features I loved on my 2.
Oh and my favorite, you can't stream to your TV with new pixels, you HAVE to use a Google brand Chromecast.
Google is just like apple now, thank you Capitalism for decreasing quality, limiting options, and planned obsolescence for our fucking phones.
I always wanted a pixel phone too bad its unavailable in my country
nicely done bro
Why would I want to use my face as unlock for my bank app ?.... too risky 😂 i wonder why they downgrade with the 8 some of us just want a nice android alternative for the iPhone 15pro .. i like the matte coating on the back ..it looks more premium
Not risky at all if it's secure enough. People have tried to trick it and none have succeeded :)
@@MarksTech He may also be referring to face unlock in general. I am not a lawyer but I have researched it a bit and I believe the police can legally force use face unlock and fingerprint to unlock phones for access. I am not worried about this happening to me and have nothing to hide but I do not like the idea of forgoing my right to no self incrimination per the fifth amendment. I have my pixel set up so that I can easily lock down my phone so that my pin is required to unlock it and they cannot force you to give up your pin. I don't want face unlock at all.
@@jctcaj police can't force biometrics to unlock a phone just as they can't force you into providing your pin. That's why police try and go to the actual manufacturer of the phone to try and get them to open it instead, and of course, most don't comply
@@MarksTech I don't believe it's as cut and dry as you think, I just had this discussion with my very intelligent nephew and with a little research he admitted that this isn't settled yet, and when it comes to our justice system they are known to push the boundaries knowing that most people are not going to ever resist them.
@jctcaj I've studied criminal justice in Florida, as well as have friends living there that work in local and state PDs and they can ask and demand all they want, but those are just scare tactics. They told me themselves lol. Even if they have a search warrant, they can't physically make you unlock your phone. A search warrant just means they can TRY to unlock your phone legally and anything they find can be used against you
Why do I feel like this is a marketing strategy to get us to click the link dowm below? 🤔
Well it’s simple, really, if you wanna buy the phone and you wanna save some money - feel free to click the link.
If you wanna buy the phone for full price and zero incentives, don’t click the link. Up to you 🤷🏼♂️ I’m just trying to save my viewers money
Should i trade my galaxy flip for the pixel 8
10000%
Please bro reply which one is the best 7pro or 8?
8
Should I get a pixel 8 or pixel 7 pro? Both are around same price in my country.
8
8
I just got a 7 for free black Friday from my provider
Trust me - it's not really worth it.
if only pixel8 doesnt cost 4.7k in my currecncy :(
imagine buying a phone for 4.7k usd
Which pixel should i get
I'll wait for the 8a.
since my Pixel 7 become slower and laggy since Android 14, yes, maybe I switch :)
Any classic Pixel overheating? 🤔
Not yet! I'm surprised
@@MarksTech Nice, I'm also surprised 😁
I used it for 12 hours yesterday and no overheating at all. Battery only dropped down to 20% from full charge.
