Google Pixel 8 Pro Review | Six Months Later...

Ғылым және технология

Reviewing Google's Pixel 8 Pro in 2024, six months after launch, to see if it's the best camera phone - or straight-up flagship smartphone. Vs rivals like the Samsung S24 Ultra and OnePlus 12, the Pixel 8 Pro isn't quite as impressive. Gaming isn't as fluid or satisfying, for one, with that Tensor G3 stuffed inside.
However, Google's Pixel exclusive features and AI tools help to elevate it above many other premium phones. And then there's the excellent camera, which is perfect for point-and-shoot action. You can capture RAW images, but the Pixel 8 Pro can spaff out gorgeous photos all on its own, while the editing tools are excellent.
Likewise, I've had no complaints with the battery life. The Pixel 8 Pro is just as strong as other Androids, offering two days of use between charges if you're careful - or a full day of heavy use including lots of camera play. And while those AI features are still developing, they're certainly a worthy addition to an excellent suite of Google tools.
So that's my long term thoughts of the Pixel 8 Pro in 2024. But what do you think? Let us know your own review of this Google smartphone below if you've been using it!

    I agree and sort of did the same thing in terms of going from the 6 to the 8 pro. Love Pixels! I used iPhones for yrs then got fed up w Apple's BS. Then I went with the Galaxy's for a while, which are nice phones, but it started having lagging text's and notifications in general (like two or three days!). Now I'm using Pixels. I've had two in the past three yrs. The Pixel 8 Pro is the best phone I've ever had. Easily my favorite

    The last three gens of Pixels have proven to be really good, albeit a tad bit half baked on launch. I currently have the Pixel 7 Pro and it is probably my favorite Android phone ever (after the HTC One M7 of course), but I have to admit that Google needs to do a lot more to properly catch-up to Apple and Samsung. The upcoming Pixel 9 will definitely be a step forward, looking into how well Google has integrated feedback into their software updates but the big jump will be during the release of the Pixel 10. Google announced a while ago that they are working on a proprietary 3nm chip, and I think that's where they will start being on par with the latest Galaxy and iPhone devices.

    Never really paid attention the OIS before, but I took a video with my 8 Pro at a gig a few weeks back. While I was recording the stage, I was bouncing around like a loon. I watched the video back the next day, and I was amazed how smooth the video was. And the eraser for photos is pretty much amazing. It even takes watermarks off photos without the need for Photoshop!

    They just had $500 off the P8 and P8 pro here in Australia - so I made the jump from my trusty P4a 5g to the Pro. I'm not a huge gamer on my phone - so a lot of those issues don't really affect me. I know that Google is still investing in better versions of the Tensor to get it to compete with the Snapdragon - but what will that mean for the Tensor 3 in this phone and the promised update support? As stated - we'll see how it is after 7 years - but at the moment, I'm very happy with it.

Best phones I've had for sure, and yes the software has a big part in it. Excited to try a flagship Google phone, and I think seriously props to Google for making me even consider a flagship even, because for me that's a first. Now that I could afford it, I wasn't much in doubt that I wasn't leaving pixel any time soon, even with other tempting options i didn't spend much time considering them.

The build quality is nice, but charging is very slow,wifi keeps switching on,i find the screen overly senstive selecting things way too often and scrolls jerky and slow at times, phone reception is not great,temperature sensor is a waste and the performance is noticeably lagging behind top tier phones. It's still a great phone and the software carries it. But it just simply isn't worth it for the money when you can have a higher spec phone for the same price or close enough. Id give it 7/10.

    I got my pixel 8 pro for the equivalent of £550/650 depending on how you weigh up the cost of a sim only contract minutes/data. For that price I think it's excellent. Camera is phenomenal, games play just fine, and battery when used in 1080/120hz mode is just great at around 8hrs+ screen on time. I only use the 1440p for films that support the higher resolution as my eyes at 50cm can't tell the difference between 1080p/1440p unless really looking for it. People need to chill about benchmarks and about having the bleeding edge. My oneplus 7T needed replacing because the USB became faulty and the battery started to fail a little, but in day to day tasks it managed just about fine apart from the odd bugs which were common even when new. My three complaints are it would be nice to have the same pro features but at say 6.4inches as even my big hands struggle occasionally. It would be nice if the 50MP photos took a little less time to shoot/be less susceptible to blurriness. And I would also like a samsung dex style chromebook ish experience.

    Got the Pixel 8 Pro on release with the Pixel Watch 2 as a gift... Sold the watch and basically got the phone for its current price. I've been generally happy with the phone - it was my main shooter on a trip to South Korea, and the pictures & videos turned out amazing. It's fast for my use cases, haven't experienced any crashes or freezes or anything bad. My main complaint is the crappy fingerprint reader - coming from the Pixel 4a 5G, I still can't get over the fact that we moved away from capacitative fingerprint readers. I know other flagships use the newer & better ultrasonic underscreen fingerprint readers, but the Pixel 8 Pro still has the old light-based sensor. It's slow, not as reliable as the capacitative ones and blinds the balls out of me at night. Really disappointed. Other than that this is a 2-day phone for me with regular use at lower res & 120 Hz, which makes me feel safe & happy. I don't use it for gaming at all, so not phased about the performance there, but would be interesting to see how it works in 2030, if it even will 👀

    I've had the 24U and currently using the Pixel for the past 6 months. It really depends on what you like using your phone for. The Pixel has the best camera by far, and takes great videos. The vanilla version of android is nice without at bloatware. The 24U is amazing all around though. Best in class battery life, amazing screen, great zoom capabilities, tons of storage available for an additional premium. The S Pen is a great tool to use and comes with many quirks. In all honesty the one major downside to the Pixel is Google's Tensor chip. The snapdragon out of Samsung is without a shadow of a doubt amazing at multitasking. Where the Google Tensor chip does a great job.... Just not in 2024. I find that in some instances the Pixel can struggle multitasking and the phone feels warm to the touch. Where Samsungs not even batting an eye, phone is nice and cool while having several apps open.

    So I had the pixel 8 pro for about 3 months. For some reason I enjoyed my experience with the 6 pro much better for some reason. The good wud include the fact that the finger print reader and facial recognition was good, battery life wasn't bad, slow charging. The things I hated was that the bezels easily got scratched or dinged even with a case on. It fell from me once witb a case on the bezel still got a visible dent. I had a camera lens cover and wanted to take it off when I tried taking it off the camera bezel got scratches just from my nails taking off the camera lens cover I put on... The bezels are just too soft. The phone wud constantly loose Bluetooth connection, or asking me to reconnect the device all over again. Loved the recording and transcription. There were just too much bugs to say I was in love. Moved on to a s24 ultra, it's been a month and I can't remember having any issues so far.

    I had bugs and issues with my pixel 8 pro when buying it at launch. Got the 256gb for £1050 which was very expensive. Fortunately was able to return it after the issues I had and the customer service was exceptional. I then bought it again straight away and managed to get it for £950 with 256gb storage through work with £125 credit on top that I used on my learning thermostat, making the total price of the phone £825. At that price it has really been worth it, and all the bugs have disappeared. For someone who doesn't game on my phone or use it for anything requiring a lot of power, I love my phone

    I currently own a Pixel 7 Pro. I dropped it some time ago, and while it still works great, I can now hear rattling when I shake the phone. I also fancy a smaller phone. So I thought to myself that it's time for a change. Now I can't decide: should I wait for the smaller Pixel 9 Pro? Should I take Pixel 8, or maybe I should go for S23 (with its oversaturation) or S24 (with its exynos). Holy Rita, do help me in my first world torment! 😂
