Agreed on the battery. I just can't understand why these "flagship" devices are skimping out on battery. Make the battery be even with that camera hump and give us all day usage battery life. It would likely allow more room above the hump to integrate a better face unlock system as well as a wired headphone port or remote IR feature. If it's heavier, that's OK. The vast majority of us are adults and can handle a few more ounces of weight.

@vandalg282

6 ай бұрын

So to explain simply; more battery life means a bigger battery, at some point you don't want to walking around with a phablet essentially, after 7inches of screen, you just want to buy a fold, which to me is just dumb. With that posted, battery life now needs to be software and not hardware based. This is essentially how everyone tackles the issue, lest you want a giant tablet of a phone in your hand. Keep in mind that all batteries on phones with 4,000 mah+, lasts for days, however, its the user and or settings that will of course reduce up-time. Simple fix; you don't need 100% brightness or to constantly play a game that will drain said battery. If you're not that reasonable, best carry a second device to play games and rely less on the phone.

@@vandalg282 Bro, I'm 44 and have been using smart phones and devices since the palm pilot. Software isn't going to fix everything or even most of it. More efficient SoC's, displays etc will have far more positive effect on battery life than software will at this point. Regardless of that, adding the minimal width and thickness required to slot an S pen on one panel will increase the battery capacity on the other panel as well which will also increase the outer and inner display size. Most of us are adults, an extra 2-3 ounces aren't going to even be noticeable a few days later. I have my issues with the One Plus Open, but dimensions aren't one of them. There's a reason that it is so lauded for it's screen ratio. It makes the outside screen usable for more than short messages being the main takeaway. Every single time you fold and unfold your display, you are adding wear and tear to the mechanism. Having to unfold it for what would be normal phone front display use is incredibly unintuitive. I'm a POWER user of my Fold devices, meaning I actually use 3 panels and the floating window A LOT for work. Having a device like the Fold has been a godsend for me with it's raw usability of the inner display, but I find myself having to use the inner display when I don't even want to, simply because it's almost necessary.

I've used every Nexus/Pixel since the Nexus 4, my favorite was the 6p, but IMO the 8 Pro is the best one they've ever released. *FLOSS* said a week, but for me it takes about a month for the software to kick in, sometimes even longer. Love the direction Google is going with Pixel, and unlike *FLOSS* who prefers as many features packed in as possible, I like keeping things light and simple, which is why I prefer Pixel and iPhone (and the old OnePlus).

Great review Flossy, as always. I upgraded from Pixel 7 Pro to Pixel 8 Pro. The main selling points for me this time was matte back, better camera, much higher "nittage" (important for me in FL sun), louder speakers and flat screen. I got Sky color and it's beautiful. I also got free pixel watch 2 and $550 trade-in credit for my pro 7 at best buy so it was really a no-brainer.

@MrMOd3RnW4rF4R3

Same here. 7P to 8P. The new brightness is absolutely the main selling point. I work in office 50% of the time the other half driving. Trying to reply to my guys, or dog around for emails in the mid day sun is horrible typically but the 8P has outshined ;). Still waiting for the watch to ship that's just icing on the cake right behind the trade in credit. The fun AI customization and looks are the cherry on top. Either way, depends what someone's looking for. However, I don't regret it.

I bought the 8 pro and returned it. Even for me, I couldn't find enough arguments to upgrade from my 7 pro. The only thing that was a lot better was the front cam. The back cam is almost identical, as results are almost the same. The Google software magic working on the photos is just too good imho. Battery life isn't that good on the 7 pro, but it's fine. I didn't like the curves much on the display, but the flat display on the 8 pro was just too narrow.

Top review as always Floss. Right on the money with this one. The screen, the speakers, the build and the camera are the big highlights. Also the software, I love that clean Pixel software. The biometrics and battery are.. adaquate, could be improved. The price increase and storage options is a kicker. I was closer to eyeing up an Apple this time, but those Pixel launch deals are unbelievable. I got a Pixel 2 watch with this, totally sealed it for me.

I hope I'm wrong but I doubt Samsung will commit to 7 years. Makes sense for Pixel since they control the OS, but since Samsung doesn't, that's a long time commitment ...

@@topspot4834 The limiting factor has been hardware drivers for updates with many vendors not going past 5 years. Fair Phone reverse engineered drivers to patch beyond this.

great review Floss. I appreciate you calling out the lack of customization. I'm also glad the Floss Factor is back. for the face unlock comparison, I genuinely don't know: are the oppo/oneplus etc face unlocks just the camera? if they work in the dark, I imagine they must have bit mapping or similar. I would like to get a Pixel, but for flagship money this gen, the processor efficiency and speed, as well as the biometrics, are embarrassing.

I’m a huge Pixel fan but I completely agree they should fix the fingerprint sensor, face unlock and increase the battery size. And I’ve been taking a wait and see approach to if all the software bugs and glitches have been solved. I will say they fixed a lot of my issues with Pixels. $1000 is also TGH and they should’ve stuck with the old prices to give us value.

As far as the magnetic charging. The new standard for wireless charging is going to include a magnet around the wireless charger. The standard is going to come out around Christmas time. People thought the Pixel was going to have it early, but unfortunately it didn't. Keep up the great work!

Went from the S23 Ultra to the Pixel 8 Pro and honestly, no regrets. For some reason the battery life is way better than the S23 Ultra. I can get a whole day with both but it lasts me longer. And the camera quality is way better too. I've noticed the S23 Ultra has blurryness around objects when close them even if it's not portrait. The S23 struggles to focus and this one is amazing. It gets everything in the picture. I haven't tried video I haven't really messed with but I'm sure it's on par.

Now that i got to the end i can leave my salute 🫡🫡🫡 Great watch as always 👊🏿❤️, these REAL reviews remain undefeated. Id genuinely give these to any customer tryna buy one of these phones. I worked for a wireless companu before selling phones and internet and the amount of times customers would come in not being able to quantify the real world use kf the devices they want baffled me coz again i feel like too many people just want the jump cut short presentation buzz words for tech gadgets without actually diving deep into the real world every day consumer application. Which is something you've managed to give us with this channel over the years.

Not sure if it's still true but the 256gb model was only $60 more than the 128gb model so I took the dive and definitely don't regret it. I have a feeling they left the $899 price point open for a smaller Pro phone next year (Pixel 9 Pro for $899 and 9 Pro Max for $999)

I would think they keep their old naming scheme of XL meaning the larger phone so the 9 Pro XL

I kinda thought the $1,059 for the 256gb version was reasonable for what we're getting. Would've preferred $999 obviously, but $60 isn't gonna sway my decision one way or the other ... And I don't care about what's in the box. Charger would be nice, but then they'll just increase the price, and I'd rather it come with nothing and save $50 ... Especially a generic case and cable, two things I wouldn't use and even if it's only $10, I'd rather save that than get something just because ... Floss the goat but one thing I have a different opinion on, is he likes as many features as possible, even if he doesn't use em. I prefer keeping things light and simple. This phone slaps btw, my favorite Nexus/Pixel since the 6p.

@@topspot4834 Yeah, it was a pretty obvious choice for me to go for the 256gb model. Been a super nice phone so far

I really do miss the IR blaster on the old Samsung phones and Tablets, I had a note 8 inch. The IR blaster is a such a useful feature!

Sorry to hear about your brother :( I wish you the best in life bro! Keep being the honest person that you are.

Hey floss, I'm here watching your review rocking my new Pixel 8 Pro, but I fully agree that the face unlock just doesn't work without enough light. Nevertheless this phone is dope! Keep it up man, I love these reviews!

It can't since it is camera-based. It won't get better without dedicated hardware and a notch like the iPhone or Pixel 4. Between the fingerprint sensor and face unlock though, it's not a big deal.

Mine works because I'm technically cheating unintentionally. Since I keep my phone on max brightness all the time anyway, it gives enough light from my screen to unlock lol 😅. I was curious why people said it didn't work in low light/darkness when I had no issues, then I lowered my brightness and couldn't unlock it lol.

I'm still on 6a and it's fire 🔥. I want 8 tho

I have both. Supposed to trade in my 6a soon. They feel the same.

I appreciate what you do. Flossy I just got the Pixel 8 Pro and I'm loving it. Have a safe trip.😊

Always appreciate the pics of my old hood. Liberty Ave / Sutphin all day. Thanks for reppin’ the hood Flossy. Pixel 8 looks pretty decent too.

Thanks for the review, your thoughts, your condolences and love for your brother etc. You are the Best out here Floss.

I have been using the 8pro for a while. I like it! We are at a point where to get a new phone, you almost need to get a different brand. Upgrades are so little nowadays. I like this phone, is it the best phone I've had? Hell no, but it does what I want it to do and does it well and beyond with Ai and I like that

Wow bro definately liking this in depth review making me really think of why you haven't done a collaboration with one of the phone companies to make an limited flossy carter phone. I do remember that conference when they had you on the big screen that was true respect 🙏🏽

Upgrade your life at the end really hit home for me. Thank you brother Floss! Upgraded from the 6a today

Where were the dislikes for the OnePlus open review? I'm rocking the Pixel 8 Pro & the z Fold 5 and I love them both.. still undecided on the OnePlus

Anyone think phones or cameras would be this good 10-15 years ago? These phones are getting nuts

@reecea5432

7 ай бұрын

10-15 years ago phones had big jumps between years so we thought it would be even better by now with CRAZY battery life. Market is very mature now so there's very little reason to upgrade annually

The video stabilization especially is insane ... I have videos of my nephews riding waves at the beach. It was excessively windy that day, and I was moving while filming. I barely had to edit a thing, and the video is amazing. I'm not a professional photographer, just your average user so I'm not gonna notice the smaller details, but especially the last 2-3 years, the photos are amazing but the video has improved dramatically. Makes dropping $1k for a phone a lot more reasonable.

Yes we love your long videos man! And we love your retro tech videos. Those stories you told were wild man!

Actually waiting on my p8pro, but will probably upgrade to Sony Xperia VI next year. Great review! Helps me get through the day too

I think Flossy must have missed his flight 😂 but it was worth it for us viewers. Great in-depth honest review! I can't understand how other android manufacturers have face unlock work in the dark since only Apple uses a dot matrix laser dot projector and infrared flood illuminator (which is why they have the huge notch/dynamic island) and Google hasn't used that hardware since the Pixel 4 which was as good as Apple Face ID.

Some cameras still can 'See' in the DARK - Just needs different software/algorithms ...

Great video, Floss. I’m sorry to hear about your brother. RIP 🙏🏽

Marc being the sound test is my favorite thing ever LOL thats how i discovered Marc all those years ago was through your sound test

Thanks for this and your other great reviews, completely agree about the price and it's worse in other countries. Here in Germany this released for €1100 for the 128gb variant. That is insultingly TDH. If they can bring it to €1000 maximum for 256gb minimum by Black Friday... Maybe. I've seen the S23 ultra here in the 900 range with that much storage but really not a fan of the curved screen. Going to wait until Black Friday and see what Xiaomi has in store in the meantime. The OnePlus open also looked really good but it's so expensive. I wish they would make a candy bar phone with that camera and a flat display at a reasonable price but that's probably not going to happen. Still waiting for the perfect device with my Pixel 2 I bought new. The time to finally upgrade my life is long overdue you are absolutely right. My problem is no device is ever perfect... Really sorry to hear about your brother, hope you're doing at least a little better now.

The S23 Ultras curve is barely there, you only see it in the black border, also OnePlus do the OnePlus 11, which also has a minimally curved screen, these are likely good options for you.

Sorry for your loss brother, hope you're doing well. Thanks for pumping out the review. You're right about enjoy the time you have. That's what I try to preach to people as well. Samsung knight, out.

Really sorry to hear about your brother passing. Great video as usual. I just picked up a Pixel 8 Pro...I'm liking it so far.

Thank you sir 😁 you determine my phone purchase with these amazing reviews saw the case video and thought you forgot about us with the full review on the pixel 8th series

Been here since the Motorola Photon days, it's crazy how much smartphones improved to this point

So glad they have that frosted glass again. The Pixel 3 felt perfect

Prayers and condolences on your brother's passing. Thanks for the knowledge and energy you pour into us 🙏🏿

Sorry to hear about your brother Floss, hope you're doing OK! Great review as always, got my popcorn!
