    Unpopular opinion, Pro models shouldn't mean bigger screen only. I'm so bummed that the Pro modell only comes in 6.7 inch that's going to be so much thumb gymnastics. Google should have released a Pixel Pro 8 as a 6 inch version too (although I really yearn for the times 5.5 inch screens were still a thing)

      Completely agree. I would have bought the 8pro if there was a version of it that was the same size as the base Pixel. I hate large phones and how bulky they feel in my pocket, it's why I downgraded from a S22 Ultra to the S22+
      Maybe next year Google will take a page out of Apple's book and do a Pro/Pro Max type of release

      I like and hate big screen at the same time. Using iPhone 13 pro max as main and Pixel 7 as backup right now. Planning to swap pixel 7 with 8 pro and use it as my main in the future. I do appreciate the smaller screen on Pixel. Super easy to use with one hand. But I feel like I have to place Pixel a bit closer to my eyes than iPhone because of the size. So bigger screen would be beneficial to my health in the long run. But hey, at least on Android system we can go back to previous page by swiping from either side of the edges, so I think I'll manage.

    I feel like this time, they actually did a better job of differentiating the 8 Pro from the 8, mainly by camera features alone. From the better ultrawide + telephoto lens to all of the pro controls and Video Boost, there's quite a few software camera tricks that you don't get on the pixel 8 that I'm positive plenty of camera fanatics will pay extra for. Combine that with its better LTPO display, temperature sensor (lol), increased RAM, higher storage options and 7 YEARS of software updates, low-key the 8 Pro is looking like a better long-term investments for lots of people (provided that Tensor G3 improves on the issues that plagued the G2 chip).

      Base still starts at 128 GB with more costing extra so that's besides the point. CPU uses different IC packaging as well so may not perform as good on the regular 8 or A model.
      But in addition to what you listed, it's also got Victus 2 glass, +.5 inch screen, better resolution, 400 nits higher screen brightness, slightly faster charging to make up for the extra consumption, and an ultra wide band for more precise location tracking. Maybe those colorways could count as well.

    Got to be honest, the call screening feature was one of my favourite things about the 7 pro.
    We get so many spam callers in the UK, when you opt to "screen my call" and you see that the number hangs up within a couple seconds, you instantly know it's a spam caller.
    On the odd occasion where it has been a delivery driver or a doctor etc, they've always waited until the end of the message and given a proper reply, which I have then answered.
    It's a great feature and I'm surprised to see the scepticism about it in this vid.

    I choose my 6 over the 6 Pro because the only feature the latter had that I *had* to have was the telephoto lens, and I wasn’t willing to pay $300 for it. $150 more? Yes. $200 more? Maybe.
    Cut to now. Do I need to replace my 6 with an 8? Nope. Especially with a smaller screen (I regard that as worse, not better). Even at $400 through Google Fi. But upgrade the Ultra-Wide plus get the telephoto for $200 (again, Google Fi price - $600) for the Pro? Yup. Sold. And really, with that kind of hardware differences (screen size, cameras, memory) that the Pro has over the base model, it seems like it’s worth the price difference with the 8 where I didn’t think it was with the 6, and that’s ignoring the software differences. Now, after the pre-order specials are over and you have to pay $700 vs $1000, I think I’d still go for the Pro.
