Google Is Screwing Up! (Not Just the Pixel 8) 🫣🤦🏻

- Google is screwing up with phones like the Pixel 8 and with their software by making all of their exclusive featuers available to Samsung and other companies, and by not supporting their own phones and leaving features out on expensive phones like the Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, and more!

Google needs to answer all these questions if they want to have customers for the 9 line
Just go for the PRO model
I got the Pixel 8 Pro mostly for its camera, don't care for AI stuff at the time. But man, Google is really losing a ton of credibility with the way they're going about this. I absolutely don't believe the basic Pixel 8 can't handle Gemini because of weaker hardware, this 100 % smells like abitrary corporate bs to make the premium model seem more premium. The way they're treating the Pixel Fold is borderline criminal. Basically a new phone with an insane price tag and yet they almost seem to have completely abandoned it.
100% spot on......seven years of updates? What's that worth if any new features don't come with that? Was considering waiting for the 9 to upgrade from my 7 but now having serious doubts.
Skip the 9. The following year TSMC is supposed to take over production of the Tensor chip
I would wait till 2025 when Google is going to switch to tsmca
Samsung does the same thing
Man, what in the hell is going on with Google? 🤔
Good question
I would LOVE for google execs to watch this video and give a response.
I think this video needs to be sent personally to the Google execs.
@@stacyanderson1593 I agree!! I truly want to see what type of response they would give....I can't think of any good response to tech odyssey video
Considering going back to OnePlus at this point........
Please do, the OnePlus 12 is an amazing phone probably the best phone they have ever made
I don't know, I had that phone and it was killing apps left right and center.
OnePlus was my worst experience would never go back
@@philly3015 mine was only killing apps and the slow USB 2.0 port was annoying as hell. What kind of issues did you have?
@@orangeyellow-me1pz phone came to a crawl after about a month then apps would crash or not load then, a update came and I had a endless boot up I got an exchange and same thing happened with the endless boot up. Ended just getting the pixel 5 and I haven't looked back
I don't need AI at all! My S23 Ultra, is fine just the way it is!! Come on Google, get your head out of your donkey!!
The s23 series is getting the ai ina future update . Even the fe
he forgot to mention the AI in the Samsung is way worse than the AI on the Pixel, technically its there & faster but giving the 3-6sec leap worse results idk if i call it a "win". Let them cook, buy a chinese phone with no AI or wait for the Pixel 10, or 3rd but unpopular reason: just get the pixel 8, s24u & be happy what u have & what u will have for the time.
@@Vss077 except people are complaining about features glitches in the comments of multiple videos.
@@jordanjackson8873 thats why u have to do your own "experience". those people that experienced glitches i've seen for both phones tbh. never seen any glitches myself so far, but its hard to test every single phone everytime to see it for yourself
Bro! I totally agree with you, I have the Fold and recently it has become so frustrating to use, from the screen staying black when I close the phone, I still can't use the dual screen mode in camera, to when in Android auto I can't swipe up to pull up app drawer. I want to believe the fold 2 will be better, but right now its not looking good for the home team
Every time I get excited about Google they pull a Google
Damn good points! Thank you for this!!
You’re welcome
Samsungs had an "eraser" for years. They just don't call it a magic eraser.
OnePlus has it also for years
I have owned Samsung phones until the release of Pixel 3 XL. I am very happy with the Pixel 8 Pro (as I was with the 6 Pro). The fact that it is a vanilla phone and superfast with no bloatware is its biggest win. Plus 7 years of update now? I will never go back.
I can give you a reason for why Google is having all these problems: Sundar Pichai
This!!!
Yep You're right these are interesting decisions by Google it's going to really alienate its customers .
Good points. Thanks. Samsung have totally eaten their lunch with regards AI. Also, Samsung are FAR better at servicing outside the US, all of the languages I would need are not available on the Pixel, but they are supported by Samsung. Same with call screening etc. Samsung support far more areas. They are also backporting 99% of it to the S23 Ultra. Why buy a Pixel given all that?
I understand your point and there's no logical reason why they won't give us Gemini nano,also i live in Bulgaria,so even some of the features like the VPN are regionally restricted.
I would still pick up a Pixel 8 for the camera, the compact size and clean Android also the 7 years of updates, even if i don't get many new AI features, I have the Pixel 6A and I'm not using the AI features most of the time anyway.
Lol I got a Pixel ad before this video and a Samsung one once it ended. Idk why I found this so funny 😂😂😂. But yeah at this moment though, the Pixel 8 was my 1st and likely last Pixel phone unless they make some changes down the line.
I was going to trade my s23 ultra for a pixel 8 pro. I’m glad I didn’t.
Smart choice, I wouldn't either.
You should have the 8 pro is way better
Get the 24+
You don't need to upgrade at all.
@@ParmaSEANSthe phones are trash. Poor performance all around.
Samsung Knights stand up and rejoice
Balls
Samsung Knights is boss. Always.
Yep that's why I'm a samsung knight , my favorite is playing mario 3d world on my s23 ultra and using as a controller for my Samsung TV in the samsung ecosystem. That's why I'm a Samsung knight
Lol, imagine fanboying a multibillion dollar company online and not being paid to do it. So silly.
@darrylwoodbury which phone do you have? You're probably doing the same?
Thank you for the info. You always bring the latest and greatest info. This is why I follow you. I have the Pixel 8 Pro and I’m very happy with this phone. I switched from Samsung to the pixel 6 Pro then the Pixel 7 Pro and I haven’t looked back. I hope Google does a better job in the future with the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro and also the Pixel Fold Two!
It's been while but I love your video's. Keep up the good work. I'm thinking of getting a pixel 8 are they all flat screen? Which version would you recommend I'm assuming the new pixel 8 a is getting the new Ai?
I agree 100% with everything you said. You got a subscribe, you're very knowledgeable. I'm not trying to be mean at all, but hopefully day to day is okay with Tourette's.
I think you're right about the tensor chip but they are also moving to tsmc if I'm not mistaken. So it's part of a transition and I'm glad they're doing it. However, the AI features I haven't seen anywhere where the pixel is going to have to pay to have those features later on the road, which I'm sure I heard that on the Samsung you get them free until 2025. After that you have to pay for those. Am I wrong?.
You are spot on, sir! No one can argue anything you just said. There is no excuse for an $1800 phone to not have some of these features and not be supported! S24 is more expensive and people will buy it over the pixel 8 pro. I was told at tmobile that the pixel is the most returned phone and they only get a few at launch.
I was told the same thing by a Bestbuy and Target employee.
1800 where? 😂 and the $600 one was never advertised to have Gemini Nano
@@CSnrgy The Pixel Fold is $1800 and why are people buying Google phones if they cant even deliver features to their base flagship after 6 months? If thats the case, then Google 100% fumbled the bag with the underpowered Tensor chip.
I love my Pixel 8 Pro. I'm sticking with the Pixel/Chromebook/Google Ecosystem.
Same
Same for me as well!
All good. You have the latest and greatest, but when 9 comes out and new features don't come through updates is when this kind of video gets relevant
@@vandelayindustries4267 the 9 hasn't come out yet and Google is setting the standard with the 8 pro onward. That's why it has 7 years of updates and not the 7. You can keep going with that logic. You don't have to buy a Pixel at all. And it's only you that's missing out. Not us..
The fact with the fold is kinda bad, but not very surprising imo.. they legit released inclomplete products in all categorys recently (1st pixel watch, tablet, fold and maybe even buds pro) where you could ask yourself if theyre serious or just experiment a bit and going to cancel the respective category a few generations later … google graveyard becoming more of a meme soon i guess
I was contemplating buying a 8 pro but i didn't. I'm waiting on the fold 6 and the 25ultra..I'm in no rush in the meantime I will be using the 22ultra.
Lawyer has entered chat
I got my pixel 8 pro for £380 cheaper in the black fiday sale . Even with samsung getting all the Ai first thats a no brainer for me. Google needs to get a grip. Its in charge of Ai and it should be released on pixel phones first. 🤔 My phone has been perfect so far. 😊 Love your honest videos. 👌
What’s your battery been like on the pixel 8 pro?
@@JackHackett1 it lasts a day with about 20 % at end of the day. I leave the battery saver on which helps. I reckon without that you get a full day of battery life. I'm on my phone a lot during the day. If your a light user all day with no issues. Hope that helps. 😁
Just Goolag being Goolag.
4:40 you triggered my Google assistant 🤣🤣🤣
lol. Doh!
Will the Sony Xperia 1 V be getting all of the Google A.I. features considering it's pretty close to stock android but also uses a snapdragon chip like all 2023 flagship androids?
Finally got the March update today on my unlocked Google Store purchased Pixel 8...smh
Yea i agree going fold 5 soon or one plus open🤷🏾♂️
That's mess up I have the fold and the 8 pro and I don't use the fold like that anymore because of the lack of ai
In Germany the hand signal for Three is signified as your thumb, index, and middle fingers. Don't get shot.
Exactly!
I 100 percent agree!
nailed it on the head. i hve been using pixels or years. i preordered the pixel fold and ive been disappointed from the begining. I should have returned it but silly me thought google would support it. never again... i'm now considering the s24ultra
I wish my S23 Ultra had call screening.
HAHA it's definitely a good way to get people to hang up and not call you back
Samsung have they own call screening that works pretty good
use text to call
100% spot on!
My phone gets hot for no reason and my battery drains for no reason
I think it's the modem because my pixel 8 pro gets hot. Even when I use the phone just as a hotspot
Not stable enough to consistently be 5g, switch to LTE I'm sure you'll notice a huge difference
Because the rebranded Exynos (Tensor) sucks
@@jerrymartinez2528 Google just needs to stop cheating their customers. Pixel owners shouldn't have to deal with a 5G phone that can't do 5G right.
@@geesonrob TH-cam is a Google company so consider the source.
With all these I still like pixel phones due to the fact that it comes basic android OS and nothing else plus I got my pixel 8 open box for just $400 dollars so I take it lol
I'm with you got the p8 a month ago love it
Watching on my Pixel 7.
Tensor is more than just edge AI, tensor is a combination of googles silicon ambitions, think the Pixel visual core and the titan security coprocessor(which are now integrated in the SOC). the edge ai processor is just a part of what google wants to do. the
I have only considered buying a pixel to put graphene on haha.
The cellular modems are poor and drop signal more often.
If you did not think that the tensor chip's necessity for AI was a lie from the beginning that was you just playing youself.
Any time an OEM limits the hardware with software to try to entice you to buy a more expensive phone it is silly that we, the consumers at large, continue to put up with it.
Lawsuits are inbound
Can’t sue because you were stupid
Sticking with pixel 7 pro until Oneplus 13 next year.
Great content. It's just a money grab. Just like samsung gave a brighter display to the iPhone 15pro. And a lesser brightness to the s23 ultra.
1:24 the 2nd way of showing 3 You did was, afaik, how far-east-Europeans and Russians do it. classic European counting uses the thumb, index- and middle-finger for 1 2 3, in that order :)
'Inglorious Bastards' tought me the US has a different system, without the thumb; I took that on for myself ever since for brain-fun.
Me too. It was a small thing that stuck with me that I never thought of
isn't the google chip specifically made for ondevice ai features. So if you compare it to Samsung, you will have to pay for their ai services in a couple of years cause of it being cloud based, but google wont have that issue or am I wrong?
It sucks but I mentioned this to you a while back that leaving the Snapdragon chipset was a bad idea. Samsung will have better and more reliable AI features in 2 years or less. 1st time I haven't bought a new pixel in 4 years. Great Video!
I agree with your opinion there's nothing that I can say more or less. I had got the pixel fold and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread and it was but it wasn't getting what the eight and eight probe were getting which then got me to thinking same as you then when I believe February's or March's update came out they were saying we're taking circular search to everything but the pixel fold I was like I'm moving the Samsung, I did not like how Google did that like you said you pay almost $1,500 for a phone that can't even do AI stuff. Then to top that off you release the 8 pro like like you said 3 to 4 months later so the phone was a dud it was an experiment that they tried and it kind of succeeded what it was supposed to do but now that I think about it I'm glad I got rid of my fold I paid almost three grand for it and it does nothing but act like a book now if Samsung can make a foldable like the pixel fold or in that form factor Golden but I still say Samsung should take a page out of Apple and allow people to pick and choose what app store they want. I don't like the double app store I wish Google photos was the standard gallery app I like how they swapped over to Google messages that was a big step up but overall I don't like Samsung because of the double stores in the double apps I just don't like it it feels too much of a bloatware if Samsung can make a phone without all the extraness to it they would be golden in Android just that alone Stock Android without the one you I without the like Galaxy store and the Galaxy clock and the Galaxy apps like if they could just get rid of the Galaxy part of it it'll be great cuz you could use all the Galaxy products on other Android phones and or iOS and I don't see a Galaxy store on an iPhone nor do I see a Galaxy store on a pixel like if Samsung can just get rid of one UI to the point where it can work without all the double everything it would be fantastic amazing I know I'm kind of ripping the soul out of Samsung but still I think it would be way better
If they have the same chip is one overclocked to run the Ai and 8 regular doesn't
I think that someone will find a way to install Gemini Nano or rather a slightly altered clone of it on a regular Pixel 8 and will call Google out very publically.
That's gonna make people have even less trust than before.
My #1 is price. Amazon has a sale right now on the S24 Ultra 256gb for $1150. Google Pixel 8 Pro 256gb is currently $809. The Google site says it'll give me $150 trade-in for my 4a5g, bringing the price to $660. Samsung a month or two ago was offering something like $40 or 50 for trade-in (fair enough, this phone must be worthless, but cheers to Google for the inflated trade-in; note, trade-in if buying the Pixel 8 is $52).
Now, the fact that I'm still using a 4a5g (with around 80% battery health) shows I'm not a power user, though recharging during the days gets annoying. The best processor, most RAM, biggest screen, etc are all overkill for my needs. The main reason for the P8P over P8 is the extra $100 for trade-in. Perhaps I should also check on deals for the S24+ or standard S24.
As I’m loving my s24
It’s a great phone
Management issue
What advantages do the Pixel 8 Pro have over the S24 Ultra? I can think of between 250 and 300 (sometimes 450 and 500) of them and that's all I needed.
When is the Motorola think phone getting Android 14?
My Pixel 8 Pro is perfect for me as far as software/UI goes. I wish I got the Pixel 8 though. Instead, I have the S24. I love small, petite phones I guess.
Been checking for the update for days now and still haven't gotten it yet so I put the beta back on my fold
Google Gemini is cool but I prefer chat gpt especially after that update and Google assistant is still great
As always, I learn a ton from watching your videos.
Samsung is Google's biggest Android customer. They should be supporting Samsung in any way possible. They're much more of a customer than a competitor.

Haha. Thanks brother
I still haven't got the March feature drop update on my unlocked Pixel 8 pro.
Side load the update. It’s pretty easy and is a much faster process than doing an OTA update.
It seems like T-Mobile is holding the update based on mostly T-Mobile customers are saying that they don't have it. My update for P8P arrived on Tuesday on Verizon
When is the Motorola thinkphone getting Android 14
My Pixel 7 Pro doesn't have circle to search.
When is the Motorola think phone getting Android 14
I agree. I bought into the Google AI crap for the P8 series and jumped into Pixel finally. I was so excited after so many years of wanting one. Then I realized most of these features I can already utilize from my Samsung....I jumped back to Samsung very quickly after returning my P8P. Although I bought the P8 for for 150 bucks, good backup phone. But Samsung is more stable to me and phones are near identical at this point.
Samsung stop Google from doing the desk mode too for the Pixel 8 pro
I had the pixel 8 for 2 months and the Haptic Feedback is gone☹️. Checked settings and it's all set to high. Is anyone else having this problem. Have 2 phones and both have this problem.
What is haptic feedback?
I buy pixel for grapheneOS 😀
Funny thing is all those fancy AI stuff can be gotten on $200 Chinese phone.
I just got Gemini on my pixel 8.
This is tradition with pixels now...great software, quirky hardware.
It's a battle ground right now think money 💰 and where it goes your half way there ❤
agreed
You are a hundred % correct and that's why I went back to my OnePlus 11 which is perfectly fine. I will be getting a OnePlus 12 very soon, and some AI features are starting to show up on my OP11
And by the way no one is talking about this...I search for this and nothing
Man Im glad i bought the OnePlus 12 instead

I got the pixel 6 Pro a year after and thought that will be stable great software experience..
No , it was NOT
Google is stupid they don't do anything good , if there would be commotion they will lose by far .
The last thing google did good with was making android
Google at this point should pair with Nothing to create the new pixel.
Samsung doesn't even want to be associated with Android, but Google made them stop trynna separate themselves from Android
With all of the potential that Google has, they keep having the most incompetent leadership when it comes to decisions revolving around hardware.
I just got update 746mb on my pixel 7a
Are Google putting the AI features behind a paywall next year like Samsung are?
No need for a paywall. They’re just not giving the features to phones
Samsung is King 👑 right now.
Yup
Google is ridiculous. My $300 OnePlus Nord N30 5g has Gemini assistant on it after the Oxygen OS 14 update. Google can't even get that on the $800 Pixel 8. Seriously!
The whole discourse is about Gemini nano 😅
If these issues aren't addressed in 5 years, I'm switching back to Motorola
Imagine still buying google after seeing what they did with AI,they have an agenda
Tensor 4 ain't as good as the SD 8 either !
