I had my wedding last weekend, and the venue's AC kicked on right as we were doing our vows, totally making it impossible to hear what we were saying (recorded on my brothers iphone 15 pro max)... but i got my pixel 8 pro the next day, and the audio eraser 100% saved the video almost completely cutting out the ac noise and saving the video. The audio magic eraser (all though not perfect) literally saved a once in a life time video.

I am noticing almost negligible heating issues on my pixel 6 after Android 14. The issue wasn't there when it was 12, and started immediately after i upgraded it to 13 last year ...it reduced over time theough the security updates, but didn't go away and was quite an issue...but now, it's back to what it was before 13...which is normal.

I just want to say, and im going back because i had a similar feature to this face editing or best shot thing on my Blackberry z10. I used this on vacation to my home town and i have a lot of family everyone was blown away by how i could do this to get a relatively good picture of all the kids looking at the camera. Of course this version is miles away from the blackberry one but it still was an impressive feature that i didnt see on any phone at the time.

7:53 The best take feature is actually all AI, it has nothing to do with the pixel camera itself, it works on pictures taken with other phones, it could be pictures taken months apart, it doesn't matter as long as the AI finds enough similarities in the photos to swap the faces, it's pretty impressive actually and very useful

They definitely improved this pixel I've been using it and wow almost thinking of getting rid of my 15 pro max and sticking to this. My old pixel 7 pro as soon as you unplugged it the battery started dropping quickly this one has great battery life so far.

What I'm liking about the pixel 8 pro is the 50mp raw files, even from the telephoto lens they are great (after grading them in lightroom)

Not sure if it's different on your phone but for me on the pixel 6pro with the new camera ui I can still just tap a focus point and then drag the exposure or the shadows down.

Does it have the same cameras as the pixel fold? what would you say are the key differences? Love your channels, especially autofocus.

The pixel 8 pro feels like such a leap in phones in general, at many levels. I tried many different manufacturers, but this one… this is the best you can get right now, imho. 😊👍

Bringing this sales strategy to end consumers is only logical. Margins on storage nowadays are insane, and the cost of moving is always with the end user. Well spotted David!

The photos were always so oversharpened and they looked bad, and what's the deal with that true tone?? i and everyone around me felt in photos was that it just made the tone of our skin darker, there was no "true tone" to it, there was nothing natural about it. Initially i was like maybe i dont know how to take photos with google, but i realised that it just takes bad photos. I was specially feeling it as i had s22 plus before my pixel7, my s22 plus was way better than that. So yeah i dont think i'll ever switch to a pixel again for its cameras.

I totally get the arguments of some software features being only on the pro. At the end of the day that's the reason the pro cost more.
