What is the limitation of pixel 8 main camera. compared to 8 pro. Is the picture taken by 8 . Hs only 12 mega pixel . And not the 50 mp. Is the 50 mp just for video graphy
I have to say this year I think the Pixel 8 is the better overall value. If you aren’t heavy into photography or videos, there’s absolutely no reason to spend an extra $300. The 8 now has a 120 hertz refresh rate and a much more bright display that’s almost on par with the 8 pro. The only real downside I see on the 8 is the glossy back and that can be fixed with a good case. Plus I prefer more compact phones and 6.1” to 6.2” displays are the perfect size in my opinion.
In my humble opinion, and considering the $300.00 cost difference between the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro (PLUS the fact that both phones are $100.00 higher than the previous 2 new generation Pixel devices), the Pixel 8 is the much better value! Again, in my opinion, anyone who puts that much into advanced photography, would probably purchase an actual digital/SLR high performance camera system, not a $300.00 more expensive smartphone! I know people personally who buy into so many marketing campaigns from Samsung, Apple, etc....and purchase these $1,200- $1,900 smartphones but either don't KNOW or USE those 'extra' features that those companies justify such ridiculous costs! The standard Pixel 8, which I've had for 2 months now, is for me the perfect device! The size is perfect for my smallish hands, the screen display with the 120 refresh rate is gorgeous and silky smooth, the camera set up is amazing, in any lighting conditions, the battery is fine (I'm a moderate user, FB, texting, phone calls, web browsing, You Tube viewing and picture taking) and by 11:00pm I still have 35-40% left). I traded in my (standard) Pixel 6 during a Google promotion in which I received $700.00 towards the Pixel 8, meaning I'm not paying one penny for this phone, just my T Mobile plan. I couldn't be more satisfied!
@@uio2299- Thank you! The only thing I didn't mention in my previous comment was the fact that Pixel phones, even the latest Pixel 8 devices, were not built for heavy graphic-intense gaming. There are phones/devices built exclusively for heavy gamers, but you'll find that compromises are made i.e., less than average camera systems, lack of timely security and OS updates, etc.....I am not a gamer (Free Cell and Wordscape are about the only games I play) so a heavily-priced gaming phone is not for me. My Pixel 8 has been a terrific device for me!
@@tonyginnetti5828 I have just received pixel 8 yesterday its amazing os and camera and displays everything is perfect I love its like android iphone mix I prefer 6.2 now after trying iit
Ever try reading a phone review? All they ever ramble on about is the camera. They dont tell you about much else. It's supposed to be a phone, a communication device! Not a camera! I just bought a Pixel 8 and the face recognition is useless, the fingerprint unlock is also useless as it's "old tech" and shouldn't be on a modern phone and the photo transfer to a PC is hopeless. It works sometimes but most often, it doesn't. I spent AUD600.00 on this phone on a special from Telstra and it's junk. I have an old Sony Experia that runs rings round this Google phone as does my old iPhone. The Pixel 8 is joke phone.
I personally prefer the fingerprint sensor to face unlock because I use muscle memory to find the sensor so I can unlock it without even needing to get my face in the camera
Watching this on my Pixel 8 in pink. Love this phone, coming from an iPhone 11. Great form factor, good battery life (easily go all day), fantastic camera and good price. I pre-ordered with free pixel buds pro, 10% in store credit with my google one subscription, and $400 for my old iphone, it was a no brainier . I love the pro's back glass but need a case with my 3 kids under 8yo. I did not like the official pixel case as it kept sticking in my pocket and phone popping out of the case and returned it and went with the spigen zero one.
Hey, I noticed you said I can go all day with no problem got a question are you on Wi-Fi all day or data because for me at work on date all day so I’m trying to figure out whether this phone will last for me because as I read comments, some people say they get great battery life and some people say they get horrible battery life and I’m trying to figure out what the truth is here
@@jejunamja I think everyone is having a truthful experience for them. Only question is what you're doing on your phone and what you need. I have Smooth Scrolling for top refresh rate enabled, always on display off, 5g on, and dark mode on. I personally wake up at 6am and drive to the train station which I ride for 1 hour each way (2hrs round trip). I have my BT headphones on and listen to Spotify podcasts or music while playing Retro Bowl or I'm catching up on the news/work or will watch a Netflix movie I downloaded the night before. I work a corporate job at a tech company so we have perfect Wi-Fi coverage that I'm on and all day I'm actually doing work on my phone on Slack and Gmail and constantly checking Gcal and Zoom and Openpath. If I'm not in a meeting I have my BT headphones on and am listening to music or listening to a TH-cam video on YT premium. There are chargers everywhere at the office but I'm usually not just at one desk and going to different meetings so I rarely plug in. I message to my wife, family and friends using BlueBubbles and Telegram. At my job, I don't have time to go on social media or watch anything on YT. On the hour train ride back I'm usually watching YT and on slack or messaging my wife and catching up on IG and the news. I'm home at around 530pm and I'll have 30% minimum charge left. I always have a 10000mAh PD power bank on me in case I'm having an unusual day and need a power boost. Example is I was in NYC for work, off the plane at 8am and was in the Uber app, my work apps, using Google maps and taking pictures and video all day and my battery was almost dead by 3pm since the display was on all day. Hopefully your work has a charger around if you're on your phone all day or hardcore gaming. Just my experience as a boring guy in his late 30s in the corporate grind. Hope that helps.
8 pro easily. I'm coming from the 6 pro and very very happy. The flat screen is worth it and looks amazing. Plus all the other upgrades of course. Battery life is great and it hasn't overheated yet like the 6 pro always would. The ai features I can see them back porting at some points. I love erasing wind from old videos to clear up the audio
@MC FLAT Screen - NEVER. Rounded Corners - NEVER. Smaller than My 6 Pro - NEVER. Exynos - NEVER Again. I'll be waiting for 2025. No more Exynos - No more partnership with Samsung. YAY 👏🏻.

If you love photography you should be using SLR (single lens reflex) camera, not a phone. Picture quality is not even close to a dedicated lens camera.
so far I think this is the only channel that mentioned the color distortion on pixel 7, in fact pixel 6 has this. I wouldn't buy p6 in the first place if I knew this issue.
What I really don't like about pixel 8 regular is Speakers! The sound is deem and echo sound is annoying! But the other things especially camera is wonderful.
Not exactly, Audio Eraser doesn't extend to phone calls, but Google has used similar technology for a feature called Clear Calling, which has been around since at least the Pixel 7. It works really well in my experience, I was talking with someone who has a new Pixel 8 Pro as they were walking down a busy street. At one point, they asked if I just heard this huge truck roll by, but all I could hear was their voice and didn't notice any background noise. This will be something I'll try and demo more in my full 6 Months Later Reviews of the phones - Josh
I tried the PRO coming from an S22 ultra. I wanted to like it but found screen a touch to small for myself. The biggest kicker was not transferring all my phone information. Tried twice and all it did was miss different stuff the second time around. I’m to use to a big screen
Do you know I had to regular pixel 8 and I returned it for that same reason thinking there were something wrong with it but for me I’m using data all day and so I wonder if it’s the way the phone is it’s just great on Wi-Fi but if you’re on date all day it’s not a good phone
@@jejunamja Ive had the Pixel 8 for 3 weeks and Im considering returning it due to the battery life. I have to run it in standard battery saver mode to get 5 to 6 hours of screen on time. My Galaxy S20 gets 8-10 hours of screen on time
@@jackmemphis777 yeah I got another pixel eight thinking my other one had a problem but if you’re on data all the time the pixelate does not get very good battery life I get about 4 to 4 1/2 hours so that’s just the way it is I’m gonna keep it and just deal with itas this is my second pixel eight phone and I’m guessing that’s the way they are on data so maybe if you’re a person that’s on Wi-Fi it gets really good battery life but that’s not me with my work schedule

It should, when they say "works on all major carriers" what that is essentially saying is the phone has all the radios that will allow it to work on all the major carriers that build out the infrastructure here in the US which are AT&T, Verizon and T Mobile. Straight Talk wireless is an MVNO operator, which works on a mix of all three of those networks, so it should work. Hope that helps! - Josh
@@6MonthsLater Thank you for your reply. .....Pixel 8 arrives on Saturday. $499 on Amazons special....... I had to 😁 I bought an unlocked Pixel 4a a couple years ago and it worked on straight talk. It stopped working on a local roadway. Not sure if it was the first or second car. 🫣
None. Honestly, it would be nice to have a fair battle Apple, Google, Samsung but right now, S23 and S23 Ultra are better Android options. In many countries, right now, there are special offers for Samsung products. Also, all Pixel features are not available outside of the USA. And overall, S23 smartphones are just better on short and long term. Google : just work with Qualcomm, give them money and give consumers a real Tensor.
@@LA_Designer Sorry to hear that. My experience with Samsung has been great until now. Same for most people. If you enjoy your experience with Pixel, then it's cool.
@@iAfroTech Samsung has the best hardware though in the Android space hands down. If they implemented pure Android on their phones it would be perfect 💯
Get the s23 ultra. I returned my p8p, ot was NOT worth £999 at all. Found a brand new cheaper s23u on a good deal with trade in and the total came to be £750. Couldnt be happier with the phone
@@NoThankUBeQuiet I took about 40 mi l minutes to completely customise the home screen and the app drawer. I uninstalled/disabled all the bloatware and it is so good now🙂 also the amount of customisation that I can do with Samsung is crazy
@@MyKneeHurtsfirst of all I love your handle at my knee hurts 😂 mine could be at my hurts. I wish I could find a good s23 ultra on sale I'm a Samsung loyalists but I think I'm going to go with a 8 pixel pro this. The seven worth of updates is a plus for me and right now T-Mobile has no specials on the s23 ultra 😢
@@joemoe05 that's completely fine man. P8p is still an exceptional phone, it's just that the things I value most in a smartphone weren't the absolute best on the p8p. Software experience is brilliant. Enjoy
In my honest opinion, neither of these! Unless you really want the pixel. In that case go with 8, especially if you're outside of the US. Speaking from my own experience...For those who interestedz you can check the reasons why I don't like this phone on my channel. Cheers!
Have you done a speed test with 2.4g wifi??? I don't know about the pro but pixel 8 is not compatible with 201.11 b/g/n 2.4g wifi...only with ax 2.4g wifi...5g wifi there is no issues...
Save yourself a hassle and buy some other make of phone. I bought a Pixel 8. Never again. The fingerprint unlock is old tech and it doesn't work, the face unlock doesn't work either, the photo transfer to a PC using USB cable is hit an miss. Mine misses most of the time and now doesn;t transfer anything. Buy something else, Google Pixel is a lemon.

does Best Take available on both phone?
Yes, that's a feature that works on both.
tensor G3 is midrange CPU mate so this is not something that pixel 8 can be proud of, it's something pixel 8 "pro" should be ashamed ;)
6:26 "Stoarge"
Yeah,that's correct isn't it???
Can u please please make a vid comparing pixel 8 pro with Chinese flagships?
For me Josh, Neither.
Waiting for 2025.
I'm more than happy with my 6 Pro till then 😊.

Definitely Pixel 8 Pro
I got mine for £749
Where'd you get it for that price?
@@antby11 eBay
I like the pixel 8 because its compact size
3:04 I'm not sure I need 1 terabyte for what I do every day.
3:02 STOARGE
lol
Edit: need lots of stoarge these days
Put the video on 1.5 speed, thank me later
Google Pixel 8 Pro 👍👍👍
None. Honestly, it would be nice to have a fair battle Apple, Google, Samsung but right now, S23 and S23 Ultra are better Android options. In many countries, right now, there are special offers for Samsung products. Also, all Pixel features are not available outside of the USA. And overall, S23 smartphones are just better on short and long term. Google : just work with Qualcomm, give them money and give consumers a real Tensor.
I own an older Samsung and would not buy another. I hate Samsung's apps that they add with the OS. Pixel is pure Android with no extra Samsung BS.
@@LA_Designer Sorry to hear that. My experience with Samsung has been great until now. Same for most people. If you enjoy your experience with Pixel, then it's cool.
@@iAfroTech Samsung has the best hardware though in the Android space hands down. If they implemented pure Android on their phones it would be perfect 💯

Get the s23 ultra. I returned my p8p, ot was NOT worth £999 at all. Found a brand new cheaper s23u on a good deal with trade in and the total came to be £750. Couldnt be happier with the phone
I thought about it. I'm generally an ultra person. But I'm so tired of the bloat I'm gonna give it a shot. There's a chance I hate it but we will see.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet I took about 40 mi l minutes to completely customise the home screen and the app drawer. I uninstalled/disabled all the bloatware and it is so good now🙂 also the amount of customisation that I can do with Samsung is crazy
@@MyKneeHurtsfirst of all I love your handle at my knee hurts 😂 mine could be at my hurts. I wish I could find a good s23 ultra on sale I'm a Samsung loyalists but I think I'm going to go with a 8 pixel pro this. The seven worth of updates is a plus for me and right now T-Mobile has no specials on the s23 ultra 😢
@@joemoe05 that's completely fine man. P8p is still an exceptional phone, it's just that the things I value most in a smartphone weren't the absolute best on the p8p. Software experience is brilliant. Enjoy
Pixel 8 Pro not worth £999 hence looked on eBay and got one for £749
In my honest opinion, neither of these! Unless you really want the pixel. In that case go with 8, especially if you're outside of the US. Speaking from my own experience...For those who interestedz you can check the reasons why I don't like this phone on my channel. Cheers!
Have you done a speed test with 2.4g wifi??? I don't know about the pro but pixel 8 is not compatible with 201.11 b/g/n 2.4g wifi...only with ax 2.4g wifi...5g wifi there is no issues...
I can live without the extra Stoarge.
Google Fi... way cheaper.

So shortly, its not worth overpaying for pro
wrong
Save yourself a hassle and buy some other make of phone. I bought a Pixel 8. Never again. The fingerprint unlock is old tech and it doesn't work, the face unlock doesn't work either, the photo transfer to a PC using USB cable is hit an miss. Mine misses most of the time and now doesn;t transfer anything. Buy something else, Google Pixel is a lemon.
Mom ?
P7P > P8P

You Poor SAP 🤪.
Why are you watching a video about a phone you dislike lol. Do you also watch videos about how to cook meals you wouldn't eat
pixel 8 has terrible front camera
@@MartyHarrison-cx4gu
I did not say I disliked anything.
Only that I'd choose Neither, and why.
I can't not hear the teacher from Beavis and Butthead in you.
I thought that no.1 reason to get the pro version is the temperature sensor 🥹
The pixel 8 is a very good choice.🤑🫡
