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'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.

Excellent video Tech Chap - having Motorola Android... how good is the 4K Telephoto video shooting subjects in distance - using Optical Zoom at 2x and 5 x ? is it detailed or wash out lane content

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.

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.

Excellent video Tech Chap - having Motorola Android...Shooting photos with this device and want to use the AI Gizmos of magic erase, dynamic touch up ? - do I need to purchase a Google One / Photo and storage account ? ( From my motorola states this service starts at min £1.90' ish per month ).

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 :)

Great review ! That's what I'm looking for.

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?

Fantastic video. I love this smartphone and I'm sure it will get better and better over time. Excellent work

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 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.

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

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

I’m really thinking of trading my iPhone 13 Pro Max for one. It’s a crazy difficult choice for me for some reason. One min I’m like “done I’m convinced” then the next “but I don’t know do I really want one?” And this battle goes on endlessly it seems.

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.

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

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!!

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

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.

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

You're a wellspring of motivation! 🌟 - "Love what you do, and the rest will follow."

Great review. Highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses. Thank you! Only had my P8 Pro a few days and waiting for the PWatch 2, but would agree with everything said. Love the phone, and love the Bay blue colour, but not sure I'm brave enough to go without a case. Even with the lovely mat back, still slippery.

16:04 what do you mean the selfie camera now supports auto focus, did you have to manually pull focus when taking a selfie up to now??😅

You are slowly becoming my favorite tech reviewer.

Why would you buy a 1000 dollar phone and run it at such a low resolution....

Nicely done! 😊

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

Nothing on the secure face unlock or mentioning the fingerprint sensor? Both big deals / issues on pixels.

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

Watching your videos jut makes me so happy and sets my mood) I really hope that you and your family are happy in your life.

I pre order my Pixel 8 Pro and waiting for it. Nice video. Thank you.

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.

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.

How did you read your temperature through the phone? Is there an app for that?

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!

You did not encounter microstutters with your device? I have them almost everywhere. KZread, Twitter, Mastodon, Reddit and more. And for cameras. I experienced a way to contrasty video making things look to dark sometimes which looks unpleasant with Vlogs

I gotta laugh, when you shoot video with a Apple iPhone and your speaking to camera it drops out the background sounds and focuses on your voice. Google are still a step behind there.

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

Is it worth to upgrade from Google 6? Or to wait next year for pixel 9?

how does the selfie camera compare to the P6? My p6 does a strange post-processing edit, almost adding a filter on my photos with the front camera and I hate it!

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.

I bought the Pixel 8 Pro this morning, just finished installing it. I would have liked all the features of the 8 Pro in a smaller body since I prefer smaller phones but I am happy with it anyway :)

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 🙂

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

What’s the realistic zoom the 8 can do before noticeable degradation?

Ive had mine for a week now. If you're thinking of getting one, do it! Best phone ive ever had!

Can't choose between the 14 pro max, pixel 8 pro and s23 plus. Does the p8p have bugs like the last two?

The video looks so good!

Which flagship features aren’t available outside of the US?? I’m in the UK and don’t want to upgrade if I don’t get the full experience!!

Nice review video

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.

I've had the Magic Eraser feature available to me on my Motorola Android in Google Photos for a long time now. However, as of last night Magic Eraser has disappeared. Does anyone know anything about this? It looks like Google did an update to photos a few days ago, not sure if this is related. Under "Tools" I no longer have the eraser or camouflage, just a "blur" feature. I restarted my phone, updated the app and everything else. I desperately need this eraser feature as I've been restoring photos for months now. Anyone know????

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.

Hi would you still recommend this now?

which wallpaper you applied on pixel 8 pro ?

Do you think there is not enough room for the telephoto on the regular 8? Or is it reserved for the Pro solely to justify price? The corollary being, is the screen size and telephoto lens with $300?

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.

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

Can someone tell me if the pixel 8 pro can watch 1440 resolution KZread videos or just 1080p?

Awesome!

Wow the video quality is amazing.

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.

Did you charge Google Pixel 8 Pro on the inductive charger in Tesla? Doesn't this camera island interfere with that?

I had soo many issues with the 7 Pro. Everyday i had signal quality issues. Then one day while i was MILES from home the display decided it was done with. When i took it in for repair the technician said they do a lot of pixel repairs so much so that they cannot keep the parts in stock. The lady in front of me in line was having issues with the pixel 7 screen. The phone was also very hot all the time no matter what you were doing on it. Tensor is inferior to snapdragon processors in day to day tasks.
