Google Pixel 8 Pro Review - 6 Months Later

Has anyone been having network issues with your Pixel? Like dropped calls or not getting texts?

..no, get the 9..

but the problem with pixel still not working 5G globally only few countries only available. When will that be available globally?

A good phone really gimped by the performance and battery efficiency, changed to S24 ultra for the battery alone. Also the camera is incosistent, sometimes it's the best picture i have ever seen on a phone sometimes i would be shamed as having an "Android phone" by iPhone users

I want to love Pixels and I really do like both my 6a and 7a but its difficult to justify the shortcomings of the Tensor chip. Doesn't help that first party support and some AI features are lacking in other regions (SEA for me). Google needs to step up where other brands are slowly but surely catching up. They need to treat its Pixel users less like beta testers and more like regular consumers...

Ive had ny pixel 8 pro for about 5 months and i think its perfect i will be keeping it for at least 3-4 years

This is actually a bad take and the reason is exactly what you stated - you don't have kids. I think pixo 8 pro is probably one of the best phones for families or parents. I'm not a Google pixel fan boy by any means (I hate the pixel quality control. When I first got my pixel 8 pro the screen was broken out of the box). I think the value of the pixel 8 pro is its user friendliness, photo taking and the most underrated function which is the temperature sensor. I have two kids, so I use it very often and it is very accurate. I don't play games so I don't need the latest chip that Snapdragon offers.

Samsung One UI. It’s not great. Pixel for those who are in this camp. I’m iPhone + Pixel . I may go all in on Pixel 9 if it’s a winner

Clean UI, good performance (I'm not a gamer), amazing cameras, great screen, 7 years of OS updates and you can find it for $700 brand new. Thats a killer package imho. Samsung is trying to compete with iPhone with those prices and I think its just not worth it.

Do we need temperature sensor? NO

What do we need? A HEADPHONE JACK

SOMEONE FINALLY NOTICED THE WHITE BALANCE! The first thing I noticed with 8 Pro from the 7 Pro was exactly that

I love the detail you share on your video. keep it up man. Just recently subscribe your channel. continue provide useful information. thumbs up bro.

I would like one, but Google can't manage to sell their phones globally. So I have a S24 Ultra instead.

My Pixel 3 still going strong

I think the temp sensor should be a must in all phones now. Google made a great desicion.

As the inside story goes, it was a “temp” sensor meaning temporary. Someone misunderstood and built a temperature sensor.

It's more of a snapchat weakness than a camera weakness.

Yes, it's worth it 👍

Is you need a camera get the pixel, if you need a smartphone get a galaxy

I have pixel 8 and I think it is worth it🎉

If anyone has a work around for the white balance post it please

nice

Mine gave such a bad experience I ended up returning it. It would close apps running in the background, but it would make them disappear completely from the recents tab for some reason, never got fixed and my s24 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max don't do this

Dude enjoys looking like an orange in the iPhones

Half of the AI features won't work if you live in the UK/EU sadly. No Gemini app/integration, new call screening or body temperature function here.

Cheaper and does all the same thing the more expensive phone does. Plus I have crap load of Google stock so I might of well help the sales even its just 1 phone.......

Only 35% battery at the end of the day with only 1-2 hours screen on time? How was it that bad?

1-2 hr SOT is a really light user.... Lasting all day isn't much of an achievement.

personly i like that google is experimenting with gimmicks like a thermometer, as it shows that they trying to innovate

another problem with 8 pro is Sharing Hotspot wifi on 2,4 GHz, it's not working you have to switch to 6G for it to work and it's not compatible with old devices

2hrs screen on time
I must be sick then 😂

I used to be a hardcore nexus user then got the first few Google pixels and switched to oneplus and now back with the 8 pro but this whole Google giving away features that they made seem like only possible on the tensor chip was a slap to the face after paying over $1200 for the 256gb version. Also the software hasn't been as great as i remember it being in previous pixel phones I have some very annoying bugs like the pill navigation bar moving to the side of the screen instead of sticking to the bottom and sometimes my app drawer staying on the screen and freezing my phone for a few seconds. I wish googles tensor chip was stronger like the snapdragons the gaming experience hasn't been the best even the previous oneplus phone I had was better in gaming performance. I kind of regret this purchase not going to lie.

It s so overpriced and only good as a camera. Just buy a camera for that price and stick with your phone. If the phone was not overpriced, overheating, and had with a great battery, I would say go for it, but it s not it and not future-proof

Why do you post stupid videos like this with even stupider questions?

Agree that front camera is still a weak spot for pixel, details lags behind competition. Wish for better efficiency from future pixels

I just got the phone and I really love it but so far the overheating has been an issue. I've only had it for 3 days and people are saying to give it a couple more days. If it doesn't get fixed by day 10 I will have to return it. Sadly. Other than that I really like this phone

Nothing bothers me more than phones taking away features with further versions

No pixel phones worth the price they asked. Google does not make any flagship phones only priced them at flagship level. Exynos soc is not worth a penny. Pixel phones are useless and bullsheed.

The base model Pixel 8 is worth every dime ❤

Maybe you are just pastier than you realize.

A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones?!?

Fully agree with everything

Pixel looks promising but isn't up to par with Samsung yet. Maybe 3 to 4 years and well talk

Post-covid, i think a temperature sensor is a pretty good idea lol

Thanks for the info on the pets for the best take feature. I didn't know that.

A câmera deste telefone é soberba. Eu posso encostar a minha mão à câmera e não desfoca. Não conheço outra igual.

Google preparing for future outbreaks

If google add snapdragon soc for pixels i will be a new pixel user
