I buy flagships so the powerful processor can do everyday tasks easily and smoothly without heating or lagging and will be able to catch with years of major software updates without the hardware being outdated. Also, a powerful cpu will be more power efficient doing everyday tasks, whereas a mid or low cpu will be pushing its limits to.

@@zezeti2246 nah. Phones get better and better with each update. People complain or the developers test the software and then they send an update to fix all the issues. Some issues take more than 1 update. And phones are usually half baked when they first come out. It takes anywhere from 6 months to a year of updates for it to be fully functional and working properly.
I use P8Pro and it's a great phone. I'm not a gamer, so it's snappy in every app I use. Battery is good, it lasts the whole working day on average depending how I use it, of course. I don't care about the charging speed. The only thing I want is the battery charger limit to 85%, to preserve the battery for 6 years.
Custom ROM for me, and honestly while tensor may not be as good on paper in daily use I have not been able to notice its lack of power compared to apple or Samsung
I do agree that Google has to step it up in the SOC department. However, on a day to day for folks who aren't video editing and gaming which I assume are most, it's really a solid product.
1. Benchmark scores do not matter. Can you tell a difference in daily use? No. Also, they are designed for AI, not raw performance. 2. This is kinda valid, but just charge the phone overnight 3. Slow? It's only slow if you use wireless charging or a non-fast charger. 4. The Pixel is as stable as Samsung + It gets more frequent updates
Absolute wrong informations.I recently got a pixel 8 pro. Really great battery life ,I get 1 and half a day, and the performance is buttery smooth.Very happy.
The Tensor Chip isn't that fast, but it's far better optimized to the OS, so the Pixel for example faster boots up than iPhone 15 Pro. The battery life isn't that good, you're right, not for everyone optimal for every user, but with adaptive charging, the battery doesn't wear out that fast. Charging speed is not better at Samsung and Apple. My Pixel 8 is completely reliable, no time crashed, no bugs (out of beta of course).
Finally someone comes out against the battery!!!! I've had my 8 pro for about 2 weeks now and the battery is just not good. I get 5-7 hours if I'm on data (5g). I can get 12 hours if I'm on WiFi, the modem is so bad on pixel. I use a Galaxy A54 and the battery life was so much better.
I love my Pixel 8 Pro, but it is a little buggy at times. My problem with the team over at Google is they miss out by not incorporating just a little “keep it simple stupid” mentality with some of the issues they have with the phone. i.e. chipset, battery life, etc. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel. Put the best snapdragon chip in your phone. I will get the Pixel 9, especially if they come out with a smaller size. (Two sizes) But overall I am happy with the Pixel 8 pro, especially at $750. 🎉
Pixel 8 pro owner. I had the 6 and 7 pro as well - the 7 was by far the best. Biggest gripe with the 8 is the signal - really slow network speeds overall, and poor signal when on anything other than wifi calls. Its so bad often a whatsapp call over mobile data us more reliable than a normal phone call. Aiming a cold breeze at the phone from an A/C vent lets me maintain a call for longer, which sorta shows its a phone issue and not a carrier one.
The fact that people are defending an inferior performing chip with worse thermal and power characteristics then phones around it is wild I have a pixel 8 myself and while idc about benchmarks this is clearly a mid range chip for performance
My battery life is fairly good. I can get through a 16-18hr day with about 6hrs of screen on time. Processing wise it isn't much slower than the Galaxy S22 Ultra that I had before it. Haven't really had any bugs in the software except for something that made it get rather hot when I first got it. Now it mostly gets hot when I'm out in the sun with it.
One of the worst charging speeds plus a battery backup phone always feels warm in hand I don't know what happened but the camera doesn't have that pixel feel anymore
I feel like all tech has stalled, it's just small incremental improvements now that the average users are not going to care about. It's fast every time they make a new chip, it literally makes no difference anymore. And eventually everything will slow down anyways as updates nerf performance, making you buy new phones
I have been using pixel since the first pixel. I was scared thinking he was really going to have some legitimate negative stuff that I may need to know about 😂😂😂 Looks like I'm good 👍
If you're obsessed with having the latest and greatest I guess this would matter but I got the Pixel 8 Pro this week and I gotta tell you this thing is zippy as hell. Does far more than I need it to do and I appreciate that as I tend to keep a phone long past their release.
You also have to consider the price...it is much cheaper than those flagship phones which you discussed...and in this price I think it's a great choice
Yeah thats true. My pixel 6 pro was at use quite few years and i droped it few days ago (rip matrix, fuck curve screen). Camera is op of course, but the productivity is kinda underwhelming. Still good to use but i expected much less small bugs, inconveniences and all that stuff from google. Fingerprint speed is a flaw too. Ill wait for pixel 9 to release anyway but am heavily considering xiaomi 14 rn. It has all that good stuff in terms of hardware, not that expensive and camera seems to be decent too
I bought a Google pixel 8 couple of weeks ago with 2-3 weeks. I observed that there is a scratch below the display panel. However, the phone is not been dropped anytime or there is no physical damage or mishanding. I was surprised to see this scratch when I took it for the service center to get it checked and the worst service center in India - Bangalore which they denied saying that it's physically damaged. Surprisingly, how can someone go below the display and damage it and it's not a crack? It's a scratch which is visible only when the displays off and viewed from a particular angle. I tried explaining them and even to the Google support team which do not have physical access to the phone, they were just sticking to physically damage term, Surprisingly they are also depended on the local third party vendor who has taken the Google phone service, I am totally disappointed
Absolutely agree.I'm in the market for a new phone.Was looking at the pixel 8 for the good the camera, but he bad SOT and slow charge time is a real no go for me
Soooo my pixel 8 pro goes from 10% battery to 100 in about 2 hours with a standard power block and cable :/ plus it lasts like 15-20 hours while using it extensively, and that's with the higher rez and fps settings pixel has built in, which I might add I haven't seen in other phones, but I've also been a pixel loved since the 6
No qi2???? At this point I’ll just get the P8P. I even thought about going back to Samsung after 12 years. I know that they don’t have qi2 either but damn I was banking on Google adopting it and I didn’t have to use a case with it. Oh well. Great video nonetheless!
I have used the Pixel 6 Pro for almost 3 years now, and I can tell you the battery life is terrible when using data. However, Pixel phones are still the kings of point-and-shoot photography, especially for moving objects, and that matters to me more. I am using the iPhone 15 Pro right now, and the display, battery, and everything else are miles better than the Pixel 6 Pro. But the camera, especially for point-and-shoot photography of moving objects, is where the Pixel 6 Pro beats it convincingly. This is where I miss my Pixel 6 Pro; I just can’t get used to the camera of the iPhone 15 Pro. I don’t care about benchmarks as I don’t play games at all. I didn’t have any issues with the Pixel 6 Pro except for its horrible battery life on data, which was a maximum of 3 hours of screen-on time. I am sure the same battery life issues will be present with the Pixel 8 Pro as its reviews aren’t good, mainly due to the Samsung Exynos modem Google has used. I think the Pixel 9 series will have the same issues. The Pixel 10 may break free as it will be from TSMC .
This phone does well for being cheap for sure, pixel 10 is confirmed to be on schedule for their first in house made tensor google chip This will truly be their make or break moment as to whether or not they can truly compete against samsung on benchmarks, software, and hardware usage Quick edit: the reason the current tensor chips may not be as efficient as google wants to promise or hope for is because it's actually a samsung chip, google does not have a way to make their own chips yet
I get what people are saying about the power but here are some reasons why a more powerful soc actually is important: - Opening and loading in apps is faster, this is obviously nice but also decreases the Time-To-Idle time, meaning the soc can get back to a power saving state faster - photos are quicker to take. Ever notice how iPhones can just tap the camera button and always take a photo instantly? And they can keep tapping to instantly take more photos. Pixels often struggle here outside of perfect lighting conditions. - more advanced photo processing is possible - more advanced AI is theoretically possible - apps can have more advanced graphics and animations - if the SoC achieves greater power output for the same energy usage, it will use less power and have better battery life
What about the price of all those flagship phones. You're talking too much pixel 8pro is one of the best phone right now considering the price and all that it offers
I bought the phone and had to return it 7 days later, because it kept freezing, the camera lagged, you’d be watching a video and try and pause it none of the keys would work. The battery absolutely drains in like 10 min when you hotspot with it, and the back of the phone is made of cheap material and scratches easily
Typing this from my Google Pixel 8 Pro. I hated my iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra. I get too many useful features on the Pixel to settle for the other two.
Benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. I used had a P7P and traded it for an S24 regular. I don't notice any difference in processing speed. If anything the P7P was snappier because of the 12gb of ram
How tf have you only got 5hrs of screen on time? Ive been using my pixel 7 HEAVILY playing games that stress it out and it lasts a day and a half on all day!?
With android being a google platform, it's surprising that it's hardware isn't perfectly optimized to blow the competition out of the water with it's own OS.
I just cannot agree with this. The battery life and charging speed are not bad, and actually they're much better than "decent". They just aren't elite. The processor and benchmarking gripe is just nonsense to me. Actual usage is the only meaningful metric here. Every smartphone out there occasionally has bugs. No one wants them, but there is no non-bug option.
You topped doing benchmarks and that's a non-issue at all for me. The phone animations are fluid. It doesn't feel slow. It takes incredible photos. The UI is great. What? I don't like about the pixel and what I can't believe you didn't touch on is the heating issue and the battery due to the crappy chip they're using with Samsung. The pixel won't be a true flagship in terms of Chip battery, heat management, etc. Until they get away from partnering with exynos for the tensor
i have a google pixel 6a not the newest but i don't have any of these problems with battery life and other stuff... That things run like a boss for 10ish hours in full use "videos while sleeping" and daylie use no problem, and it gets a full charge in an hour @w@

I use P8Pro and it's a great phone. I'm not a gamer, so it's snappy in every app I use. Battery is good, it lasts the whole working day on average depending how I use it, of course. I don't care about the charging speed.
The only thing I want is the battery charger limit to 85%, to preserve the battery for 6 years.
Custom ROM for me, and honestly while tensor may not be as good on paper in daily use I have not been able to notice its lack of power compared to apple or Samsung
This is the best midrange phone, the only issue is the price tag
I do agree that Google has to step it up in the SOC department. However, on a day to day for folks who aren't video editing and gaming which I assume are most, it's really a solid product.
1. Benchmark scores do not matter. Can you tell a difference in daily use? No. Also, they are designed for AI, not raw performance.
2. This is kinda valid, but just charge the phone overnight
3. Slow? It's only slow if you use wireless charging or a non-fast charger.
4. The Pixel is as stable as Samsung + It gets more frequent updates
For me after 8 months haven't seen any of these issues.
Absolute wrong informations.I recently got a pixel 8 pro. Really great battery life ,I get 1 and half a day, and the performance is buttery smooth.Very happy.
benchmark ?? we worry about this when we dont even use up to 50% of the phone capacity ...
The Tensor Chip isn't that fast, but it's far better optimized to the OS, so the Pixel for example faster boots up than iPhone 15 Pro.
The battery life isn't that good, you're right, not for everyone optimal for every user, but with adaptive charging, the battery doesn't wear out that fast. Charging speed is not better at Samsung and Apple.
My Pixel 8 is completely reliable, no time crashed, no bugs (out of beta of course).
That's exactly why i love my pixel
Finally someone comes out against the battery!!!! I've had my 8 pro for about 2 weeks now and the battery is just not good. I get 5-7 hours if I'm on data (5g). I can get 12 hours if I'm on WiFi, the modem is so bad on pixel.
I use a Galaxy A54 and the battery life was so much better.
A54 is not equipped with artificial intelligence that pumps the battery in the background.
@@jrok680shut up
@@jrok680ok
i oly own a pixel 6a and i don't have those problems at all on an older model haha
That battery is the exact same as literally any other phone
I love my Pixel 8 Pro, but it is a little buggy at times. My problem with the team over at Google is they miss out by not incorporating just a little “keep it simple stupid” mentality with some of the issues they have with the phone. i.e. chipset, battery life, etc. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel. Put the best snapdragon chip in your phone.
I will get the Pixel 9, especially if they come out with a smaller size. (Two sizes)
But overall I am happy with the Pixel 8 pro, especially at $750. 🎉
Pixel with Snap would be great!!! I would buy it definitely!
But now I dont know what to choose S23U / S23+ or P8P
My pixel has been solid since release day
Which one you have
Pixel 8 pro owner. I had the 6 and 7 pro as well - the 7 was by far the best. Biggest gripe with the 8 is the signal - really slow network speeds overall, and poor signal when on anything other than wifi calls. Its so bad often a whatsapp call over mobile data us more reliable than a normal phone call. Aiming a cold breeze at the phone from an A/C vent lets me maintain a call for longer, which sorta shows its a phone issue and not a carrier one.
Cool video. I look📱📱 forward to getting one.
The fact that people are defending an inferior performing chip with worse thermal and power characteristics then phones around it is wild
I have a pixel 8 myself and while idc about benchmarks this is clearly a mid range chip for performance
My battery life is fairly good. I can get through a 16-18hr day with about 6hrs of screen on time. Processing wise it isn't much slower than the Galaxy S22 Ultra that I had before it. Haven't really had any bugs in the software except for something that made it get rather hot when I first got it. Now it mostly gets hot when I'm out in the sun with it.
One of the worst charging speeds plus a battery backup phone always feels warm in hand I don't know what happened but the camera doesn't have that pixel feel anymore
I recently move from IOS to Android and purchased a P8 pro.No regrets. it's a great phone.
the new pixel 8 pro has the same battery life as my 6 years old huawei
Hmmmm... Battery life, charging speed, software bugs and connectivity is what I hate about my pixel.
I feel like all tech has stalled, it's just small incremental improvements now that the average users are not going to care about. It's fast every time they make a new chip, it literally makes no difference anymore.
And eventually everything will slow down anyways as updates nerf performance, making you buy new phones
U can see how bezel on the iPhone is thinner than on the pixel
I have been using pixel since the first pixel. I was scared thinking he was really going to have some legitimate negative stuff that I may need to know about 😂😂😂 Looks like I'm good 👍
If you're obsessed with having the latest and greatest I guess this would matter but I got the Pixel 8 Pro this week and I gotta tell you this thing is zippy as hell. Does far more than I need it to do and I appreciate that as I tend to keep a phone long past their release.
Have had the phone for a week. Preach brother. I concur. Still recommend the phone at the price point. I don't regret the purchase
You also have to consider the price...it is much cheaper than those flagship phones which you discussed...and in this price I think it's a great choice
Yeah thats true. My pixel 6 pro was at use quite few years and i droped it few days ago (rip matrix, fuck curve screen). Camera is op of course, but the productivity is kinda underwhelming. Still good to use but i expected much less small bugs, inconveniences and all that stuff from google. Fingerprint speed is a flaw too. Ill wait for pixel 9 to release anyway but am heavily considering xiaomi 14 rn. It has all that good stuff in terms of hardware, not that expensive and camera seems to be decent too
That's why I was hesitant with the pro model. Base model is good for it's price compared to it's competitors, which I also got during sale.
I bought a Google pixel 8 couple of weeks ago with 2-3 weeks. I observed that there is a scratch below the display panel. However, the phone is not been dropped anytime or there is no physical damage or mishanding. I was surprised to see this scratch when I took it for the service center to get it checked and the worst service center in India - Bangalore which they denied saying that it's physically damaged. Surprisingly, how can someone go below the display and damage it and it's not a crack? It's a scratch which is visible only when the displays off and viewed from a particular angle. I tried explaining them and even to the Google support team which do not have physical access to the phone, they were just sticking to physically damage term, Surprisingly they are also depended on the local third party vendor who has taken the Google phone service, I am totally disappointed
Damn man, never thought I'd see a 40 min review. But i saw thw whole thing and loved t.
Best upgrade I did for my Pixel 8 Pro was Niagara Launcher 😊
Not sure why anyone would be upset with phone benchmark, it's not like you gonna using benchmark every single day for every single app.
I would like mine but I have to restart it several times a day because of freezing issues. Can't wait to trade the POS in.
Absolutely agree.I'm in the market for a new phone.Was looking at the pixel 8 for the good the camera, but he bad SOT and slow charge time is a real no go for me
sad to see so many negative comments about a video because they didnt listen that you said thats only the things you hate not the entire review
I love my pixel 6 pro, almost 4 years and amazing phone to me 😂❤
For me the slow charging 27w speed is a pain in the ass. Even in the pixel 9 it's still only 27w. This is shameful for a new phone in my opinion.
Factory reset to gain access to local storage?
Mam, I'd sue that company for data loss!
Soooo my pixel 8 pro goes from 10% battery to 100 in about 2 hours with a standard power block and cable :/ plus it lasts like 15-20 hours while using it extensively, and that's with the higher rez and fps settings pixel has built in, which I might add I haven't seen in other phones, but I've also been a pixel loved since the 6
No qi2???? At this point I’ll just get the P8P. I even thought about going back to Samsung after 12 years. I know that they don’t have qi2 either but damn I was banking on Google adopting it and I didn’t have to use a case with it. Oh well. Great video nonetheless!
I have used the Pixel 6 Pro for almost 3 years now, and I can tell you the battery life is terrible when using data. However, Pixel phones are still the kings of point-and-shoot photography, especially for moving objects, and that matters to me more. I am using the iPhone 15 Pro right now, and the display, battery, and everything else are miles better than the Pixel 6 Pro. But the camera, especially for point-and-shoot photography of moving objects, is where the Pixel 6 Pro beats it convincingly. This is where I miss my Pixel 6 Pro; I just can’t get used to the camera of the iPhone 15 Pro. I don’t care about benchmarks as I don’t play games at all. I didn’t have any issues with the Pixel 6 Pro except for its horrible battery life on data, which was a maximum of 3 hours of screen-on time. I am sure the same battery life issues will be present with the Pixel 8 Pro as its reviews aren’t good, mainly due to the Samsung Exynos modem Google has used. I think the Pixel 9 series will have the same issues. The Pixel 10 may break free as it will be from TSMC .
This phone does well for being cheap for sure, pixel 10 is confirmed to be on schedule for their first in house made tensor google chip
This will truly be their make or break moment as to whether or not they can truly compete against samsung on benchmarks, software, and hardware usage
Quick edit: the reason the current tensor chips may not be as efficient as google wants to promise or hope for is because it's actually a samsung chip, google does not have a way to make their own chips yet
I get what people are saying about the power but here are some reasons why a more powerful soc actually is important:
- Opening and loading in apps is faster, this is obviously nice but also decreases the Time-To-Idle time, meaning the soc can get back to a power saving state faster
- photos are quicker to take. Ever notice how iPhones can just tap the camera button and always take a photo instantly? And they can keep tapping to instantly take more photos. Pixels often struggle here outside of perfect lighting conditions.
- more advanced photo processing is possible
- more advanced AI is theoretically possible
- apps can have more advanced graphics and animations
- if the SoC achieves greater power output for the same energy usage, it will use less power and have better battery life
Benchmarks? Metrics? That is not real life usage!
Hate is s strong emotion when it's about a smartphone😂🦎
It's funny cause my pixel 7 pro lasts about an hour longer than my brother's 8 pro on a daily basis
What about the price of all those flagship phones. You're talking too much pixel 8pro is one of the best phone right now considering the price and all that it offers
Haters are going to hate.
I bought the phone and had to return it 7 days later, because it kept freezing, the camera lagged, you’d be watching a video and try and pause it none of the keys would work. The battery absolutely drains in like 10 min when you hotspot with it, and the back of the phone is made of cheap material and scratches easily
Where did you get this phone then? I’ve been searching through thousands of reviews on this phone and not a single one has said anything like yours
The only thing that I'm curious to know is whether the 9Pro still has heating issue like the previous models??
The things you don't like are things that haven't affected you? 🤔
Typing this from my Google Pixel 8 Pro. I hated my iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra. I get too many useful features on the Pixel to settle for the other two.
Is it worth it cause considering pixel 8 pro and pretty much just for the cameras
@@ericparlatore The pixel exclusive features are also a big thing for me. The call assist features and the premium software experience
If thr benchmark gap isnt big then it doesnt matter
Also they have a reputation of having 7 YEARS of android upgrades
i just got the pixel 8 and i love it far bit the chraging speed does hurt coming from a xiaomi with fast charging/turbo charging
Benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. I used had a P7P and traded it for an S24 regular. I don't notice any difference in processing speed. If anything the P7P was snappier because of the 12gb of ram
How tf have you only got 5hrs of screen on time? Ive been using my pixel 7 HEAVILY playing games that stress it out and it lasts a day and a half on all day!?
Now compare prices, the pixel 8 pro, is half the price of the Samsung Galaxy or iphone.
With android being a google platform, it's surprising that it's hardware isn't perfectly optimized to blow the competition out of the water with it's own OS.
Turn off the cell modem, when I'm on just wi-fi I get great battery life.
It's almost like you're being compelled to push out Content.
BLOODBATH MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I just cannot agree with this. The battery life and charging speed are not bad, and actually they're much better than "decent". They just aren't elite.
The processor and benchmarking gripe is just nonsense to me. Actual usage is the only meaningful metric here.
Every smartphone out there occasionally has bugs. No one wants them, but there is no non-bug option.
Imagine making 2-3 phones a year and still unable to optimize them. What a shame. Although I don't like apple, but learn from them.
5hrs screen on time? what are you just running back to back benchmarks lol?
Pixel 8 pro is the SHITTEST flagship phone I have ever had. I want to smash mine up basically every day.
Hear me out the chip of Google pixel is for machine learning not games
Video playback is laughably bad compared to S23 Ultra, heck even the mid range a52 completely destroys the Pixel.
One issue , I come to know pixel phone generate more heat. Is that true ?? 😮
5 hours of screen on time?! That's either a bug or a lawsuit because you've got yourself a budget chip on a flagship phone
You topped doing benchmarks and that's a non-issue at all for me. The phone animations are fluid. It doesn't feel slow. It takes incredible photos. The UI is great. What? I don't like about the pixel and what I can't believe you didn't touch on is the heating issue and the battery due to the crappy chip they're using with Samsung. The pixel won't be a true flagship in terms of Chip battery, heat management, etc. Until they get away from partnering with exynos for the tensor
Pixel was never designed to go head-to-head with other flagship phones. They have their own lane clearly
Thank you sir, I will not jump on this phone
Exactly same thinking i have 😮
Surely its a flag ship but u conpare it to phones around 2x price
Benchmarks aren't important because they are the smartest smartphone with more AI
i have a google pixel 6a not the newest but i don't have any of these problems with battery life and other stuff...
That things run like a boss for 10ish hours in full use "videos while sleeping" and daylie use no problem, and it gets a full charge in an hour @w@
Bro. Same here, my pixel 6a is killing it. I don't know why everyone is complaining about pixel phones
