Reasons to use thermometer: 1/ A bath for your young ones. Double check temp. 2. Babies milk - as above. 3/ Cooking, check cooked properly. 4/ Elderly family, use to check tea, coffee, soup, etc to make sure it is not too hot. 5/ Check the fridge to see actual temp is correct. 6/ In a fire emergency, check temp of door to see if fire behind it. 7/ poke it out the window in cold mornings to see if you need an extra jumper. 8/ Skating on ice, check for weak (less cold spots). 9/ Meals or hot drinks to check at restaurants and coffee machines to see if cooked or hot enough? 10/ If at work to check your employer is not beaking the law with a lower than expected environment. 11/ If you have pets to check temp if they are not their normal self. 12/ check temp of fish tanks. 13/ Check electrical stuff like plugs to make sure no overheating. 14/ to check windows or doors to see if there is any energy gaps. 15/ Checking temps of stuff like slides on hot days for kids. 16/ check for insulation by measuring inner and outer walls. There are probably many I missed. But it could be useful for some?

When learning to steam milk it's good to get a feel of how hot 65°C milk feels as the milk breaks down when it gets hotter. So you can measure a few times just to get more confident. Also when brewing coffee you can measure water temp to get f.e. 90°C, so you don't have to buy a 150$+ kettle. I think many niche use cases, but people disregard it because they don't need it and everything needs to be made for them and only them.

The longer support is important. In a year or so the value of the phone should have dropped, but still has 6 years worth of updates left. €860,- for the pixel 8 is a lot of money for a lot of people. but in a year they will probably have some sales dropping it to €500,- which is much more reasonable. This way they can sell old stock. Only thing is that it might interfere with the pixel 8a in terms of budget so they should price that accordingly to keep it as the budget option. €450,- would be a reasonable starting price for the 8a.

I'd probably go for the regular Pixel 8. I currently have the 6 Pro, and I wouldn't look into upgrading it if it was reliable. Sadly, it's not, the screen stays black from time to time. But as much as I like the telephoto lens, it's just too big for my taste. The regular Pixel 6 wasn't much smaller, that's why I went with the Pro back then. But now the Pixel 8 finally arrived at a very nice form factor.

I'm glad I went with the pro. I was a little concerned about the size and while I can't use it one handed. The size isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The camera edge makes the phone much easier to hold. The build quality is really nice, the brighter screen is great, and the long term updates give peace of mind. The watch bundle made the price easier to digest as I wanted the watch too.

Mine just came in the mail and I cannot wait to fire it up. Been wanting a premium camera smartphone for quite some time and feel like I made the right decision! The Galaxy A71 that I am upgrading from has served me well with great battery life and durability, but the camera and underlying SOC are so underwhelming that I've stopped taking photos. Looking forward to documenting my life experiences again in proper fashion!!

Hello Mr TechChap. In these reviews I would like to see camera comparison with 2 or 3 gens behind, as example the Pixel 6 Pro or the Pixel 5. Many people (like me) would rather upgrade every 2-3 years than every year. But I would still understand the choice with comparing only the last gen in future videos. Have a good one, thanks for your videos :)

me too - considering upgrading from 6pro....

Great review, once again though we are done over in phone prices here in the UK tho

I think we should now distinguish between "full" and "partial" updates! Yes, Apple gives 5+ years of updates, but has a noticeable tendency to artificially cut features that would be technically possible without problems to give customers a reason to buy the new devices. So, we should judge companies on whether they really deliver full updates (if technically possible) or artificially withhold individual features from older devices.

Thanks for an excellent review. For some reason the pidgeons marching perfectly in rhythm at around 16:21 looks so creepy and artificial to me. Is this because the Google Pigeon March (GPM™) feature is turned on or do they just do this normally?

As usually you always do the best reviews, 10 out of 10.

My 8 pro will be becoming tomorrow. Super excited going from the 6 to 8 pro definitely will test everything

I've pre-ordered the Pro 8 and awaiting it sometime this week.

The most awaited Pixel 8 review 🎉❤ Tech Chap - The Best !!!!

Great presentation. You touched on all the important points to consider when choosing a phone.

Am I the only one thats sick of these camera centric reviews? For me im trying to get an understanding of the actual phone (not just the camera). Last year I rushed out with excitement on release day to buy the pixel 7 pro to then after a week get rid of it due to the terrible battery life, bugs with software, overheating issues, terrible display quality amongst a lot of other things. Yet now trying to gauge if Google has actually improved all fixed all those issues all ii get is these you tubers crapping on for 10mins about the camera.

Excellent review. I'm watching this video on my 7 Pro with a battery saver warning popping up. I'll be setting up my 8 Pro this weekend, and it'll be interesting to see just how much better the new phone is over the old one.

Great review. Actually, the best review I've seen for the Pixel 8 Pro!

it would be amazing if you could use the temperature sensor in conjunction with the cameras to create some really weird sciencey stuff

Gonna get my bay blue next month and I’m so excited 😊

Glad you noticed the oversharpening issue with the front camera, my hypothesis is that because of the lack of AF in past models (and base p8) the software it's tuned to compensate the lack of sharpness that implies not having AF, something the P8P doesn't need but that tuning it's still present, for now the best way to use the selfie is to shot RAW, the issue isn't present in raw, but it takes more steps to get the photo obviously, hope google fix this sooner than later.

I'm getting 1.5 did on a full charge. Love it. On the 8p you get 30w charging and that feels like a huge difference from the 7p. The 7p charging was so slow.

I swear your reviews are the best in my opinion in every aspect

Nicely done! 😊

hello, which camera and lens do youuse for recording videos?

Hey Bro nice work! Can you please test the screen display of the pixel 8 pro ? I noticed that the screen is so dark when it's on 50% brightness (comparing to the S23 ultra which is much brighter --- 40% Brightness on S23 ultra = 70% of Brightness on pixel 8 pro // however, on 100% they are identical). Thanks!

The temperature scanning feature is designed to monitor your other devices and detect overheating issues, similar to what you might experience with an iPhone 15 Pro Max recently LOL

As a long time iphone user I’m definitely tempted to buy Pixel this year ) Thanks for the review, Tom )

Bruv..... The shot with the dove was lit! 🔥 🔥 🔥..... Nice review as always!

The best feature imo is the audio noise reduction, the meh temperature feature was a missed opportunity to do something better, if it had the Flir infra red system, that would have been way cool. Some of the AI features are cool , some are very gimmicky , still good to have though.

Ok, I want to buy the small guy pixel 8 as I have a small hand🙃, but I want to know if there is any differences in the new software (photo and video editing techniques) between the 2 phones, I mean can you please tell me if there is something missing in the pixel 8? or may be make a video comparing the software of the 2 devices?

I have the 8 pro and love it so far. It's a bit disappointing that it doesn't have video out over the USB-C. So a Software Update with something like Samsung Dex isn't possible.

Awesome full review keep it up as always brother

Great balanced review as always , I picked one up and really happy with it . Most of the bugs of the 7 pro are gone i.e. bad fingerprint sensor, screen issues etc . Sold my 7 pro and been using an s23 ultra for the last 6 months , very close between those two . I prefer the rounded edges and lighter weight of the Pixel , the new screen is brilliant. Will be interesting to see if the battery can get close to the mighty s23 ultra

The hysterics around it has been insane. It's not like the AI is generating brand new faces, it's something you could have done yourself in Photoshop if you had the skills. I'm delighted by it, because I lost my husband in 2020, but now I finally have a wedding photo where everyone is at least looking at the camera. On the actual day the sun was in our eyes and over 6 photos, there was never a photo where everyone was smiling or everyone was looking at the camera. I still don't have one where everyone is smiling, but at least my primary picture no longer has people who are looking down or off to the side. That's where this feature really shines.

Can the temp sensor be used for hot-spot indication or IR pics when combined with camera? I'm an engineer and inbuilt ir pics would be a game changer for me.

If you are located in the U.S., I don't think it's worth switching to the Pixel right now, at least not until 2026. Although the Pixel is great, it still needs a couple more years to mature. With the iPhone ecosystem, all of your apps and environments work seamlessly together. I initially thought the Pixel was great, but I found myself missing the ease-of-use that comes with the iPhone, starting from the way you unlock your phone with your face, to all of the apps available to you at home. Pixel is great for photos, but it lacks the luxury and aesthetics of the iPhone. In my opinion, it's not quite there yet.

I returned Pixel 8 Pro and now using the iPhone 15 Pro, feel so much relieved. The best part of Pixel 8 Pro is the camera and the Photo App, everything else, may be will get better in 2 years. But, will certainly beat the iPhone soon, they released tons of software features, which will take years for Apple. Like I said they got everything great except the quality of the hardware (can't compare to the richness of the iPhone) and the ecosystem around an Android is not great I feel, maybe Android are the best in Asia.

Just a question. Are all the new features you mention for the 8pro available in the UK ? Or is this video for a US audience.

I would imagine the thermometer will sync up with Google Home as a secondary or tertiary remote sensor amongst other temp-based apps.

The audio eraser seems to work somewhat well from what I can tell in this video, but I hope they can work on the algorithm so that it will not muffle your voice as much and make it more clear while simultaneously cutting out the background noise.

Nice and honest review, thank you. I got a good deal on the 8 pro when switching phone service provider, which means I get the phone and a watch for the equivalence of £795 (I'm in Denmark). If I sell the watch it's all good. I'm switching from the OP 7 pro, so I expect it to be more than enough for me. Not a gamer, don't really shoot videos and not a huge "screen on time user". However, there are a couple of thing that worry me. Does the phone heat up during normal day to day use? Is there a lot of freezing and lacking? How about battery time, is it good? Also, I'm worried about connectivity issues, WIFI, Bluetooth etc. It's funny how some people say that there are no issues, while others complain about many things. I mean, it's the same phone, right? It's a brand new phone, so I would guess that, a lot of these issues will be fixed with updates. All new phones have issues... I would really appreciate if current 8 pro users would share their experiences 🙂
