My love hate with Google is really starting to lean hate. Simply because they should be dominating in terms of software support

You make a very valid argument, quite a bummer for those who bought a Pixel 8. I think Google's going to lose a lot of customers over this decision.

So many thoughts on this… I agree with your points, but I assume that Google has done the research on the phone to see the impact that this would have on the standard 8 series. I agree that these companies should at least have their current model phones have enough power to run their feature drops for at least the next year… at the end of the day, you should never bank on phones getting features that are not mentioned at the keynote.

Agreed. Stuff like this is why I haven't been able to hop back on the Pixel train since the first generation. They've seriously gimped the base model while simultaneously asking for more money. Having so many things artificially locked to the pro model is ridiculous. A pretty big asterisk next to "smartest smartphone."

I mean, is it really that surprising? This is the company that drops their own services and products at the drop of a hat. Same company that actively undercut its own base model phone with the 6a, 7a. Same company that half baked a foldable when it had the opportunity to wait a bit more and perfect the experience could be. If you buy a Pixel you're buying what it does out of the box, you should never count on what supposedly is in the mix for later.

I switched from IOS to the 8 pro and love the phone but I agree with you it may be my last Google phone if they can't get this right the features that you are talking about are Pro level features and should be able to run in both phones period. This really makes me 2nd guess my decision in switching to Google how long will my phone truly supported!

You talk so much sense.

Two things: First this fiasco of 8 model not getting Gemini nano (ridiculous) Second, where i live (in Europe) it doesn't really make sense to purchase Pixel phone since there are a lot of featurea messing from the US model. And all that at higher price then in US. It should be cheaper at least, cuz there are features missing.

Let Google have it!! I appreciate your videos!!

I would like to see you review the xiaomi 14 and compare them to the oneplus 12 and the galaxy s24

My 8 Pro may be my last Pixel, I'm not impressed with what Google is doing. I've been a big fan since the Pixel4a. But you are correct what is Google not telling us? Thank you for understanding the shady crap they are doing. Your right the 8 does not have pro features as the 8 Pro, but it's the same hardware 🤦

I was on the fence between the upcoming Pixel Fold 2 and OnePlus Open 2. This news has tipped me to the OnePlus camp because I can get the AI features I care about from Google on a Snapdragon with a far superior hinge.

I always liked Google since the Play era, but the fact that they have a website that represents a graveyard of Google services shutdown always ring something to me. It is tiresome that once that one as a user gets acquainted with the service and actually starts to enjoy it, Google just decide to drop it. From Google Play Music, Hangouts, Duo (now meet, not that intuitive imo), Stadia, Google Podcast (YT Music don't make the cut yet), Pixel Pass (which I was heavily considering it) and lastly GPay, Nest Secure, and these are the ones I really grow fond of. Then you see the hardware department: how cool was the soli radar on the Pixel 4 XL. That was more useful than a thermometer. From where I see it, that thermometer is not coming anymore to any phone, so I'd figure.

As a Pixel 8 owner, I am disappointed that it's missing the Gemini ai feature. Pixel 8 shoot in 50MP is only available to Pixel 8 Pro model even though it has exact same main sensor camera and I am thinking that Google is doing this on purpose. IMO it's not a hardware limitation, they're just turning them off for the cheaper model.

Great content. Your 100% right. Here's something you should put in your video. Not all s series of the s24 have snapdragon gen 3, only the s24 ultra has it. The rest have the samsung chip, BUT it still has the Google Gemini. So it's not about it being a pro model feature. It's an every phone feature, at least for the s series phones. It reminds me of samsung giving a brighter screen to the iPhone 15pro rather than giving it to the s23 series.

The entire s24 series has the Snapdragon 8 gen 3, not just the Ultra. Granted, your point still stands. Their entire flagship line-up of mobile devices from 2023 will be receiving the same features.

Typing this on my 8 pro that i got last week. You made some very good points Adam. I previously had the Pixel 6 and although that phone was a disaster in the beginning Google fixed the bugs. I would have even still been using it if Android 15 wasn't scheduled to be its last. In regards to this Gemini Nano situation im disappointed for the Pixel 8 users. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with Google. They need to do better and show they care about their customers. Seems like they're getting too comfortable since the past 3 years the pixel brand has been selling more each year.

Amazing facts 👏 brother!!! 👊🏻 A tech giant is actually their own problem 😳 wow lol This is pretty sad. What would be a slap in Pixel 8 users face if the Pixel 8a gets these AI Features 🤔 🙄 This Pixel 8 in Canada 🇨🇦 is $949 plus tax 😳 So if they are doing this to the Pixel 8 what are they doing to the Pixel 7 series that's suppose to be updated till Oct,2027 ? 🤔 😮

Agree 💯. It's total bs from Google. They can not (don't want to) support the phone with basic features just a couple of months after release but talking about 7 years of OS and security updates. What's the point of getting a Google phone when you're not getting basic Google AI features?🤷🏻‍♂️ The Tensor (Exynos for Pixel) is worse than the mid range Snapdragons. I was such a big fan of Google Pixel for years, but they're going consistently in the wrong direction.

I had the pixel 8 it was the last pixel I would buy, so I bought my first Sony and very pleased with it.

I clearly understand what you mean now. The last video you made in this group was trashing me because I was asking the difference between pro features. Full transparency, I would never troll you or your business. I wasn't educated on the matter like you are. But I agree with you. It does seem like a scam.

I was going to get the pixel 8 but decided not to since google severely crippled the 8. I was waiting for xiaomi 14 global version but it's taking forever to come out. I got the S24 instead and I'm happy with it. S24 is packed with ai features.

I'll never buy Google again. I bought the Nest, and it's been a disaster. Furthermore, I know some people who own a Pixel phone, and they ended up buying another phone to replace it. Their complaint has been both hardware and software issues. Some said the battery doesn't last long, and they have to constantly recharge it. The software doesn't sync with the hardware, sometimes apps will crash, the phone runs warm to hot, it reboots on its own, etc. I've had the money and tempted to buy any Pixel phone and ended up buying Moto phones instead.

I gave Google a second shot after the Pixel 6a with the 8 Pro. but I very nearly didn't for either the iPhone 15 Pro or the Sony Xperia 5 V. When I can upgrade again in December 2025, I will probably go for the Sony Xperia 1 VII over the Pixel 10 Pro. Who knows, maybe hell will freeze over and I end up with a Samsung... oh, perhaps not... we get the Exynos ones in the UK.

I wouldnt expect a regular pixel like the pixel 8 or even pixel 9 to be good after 3-4 years...EVEN with 7 years worth of updates Workable yes, but i imagine gaining and losing features over time will be a thing as the tech gets older but i could be wrong

Agree

Now you talking! But it also concerns models that are older as the fold and the 7 pro. Don't buy a phone that doesn't have that function at the time you buy it. Only Samsung and Apple can do that.

Hands down you are absolutely correct AI is a standard feature not a Pro level one. These phones just came out not too long ago. as an iPhone user I’ve been checking the Pixel 9 series leaks and rumors to maybe try a Pixel device but after this Fiasco I can’t trust Google anymore they have the tendency of killing apps and devices features this is not the first time.

I have installed an apk (with only 2.6MB!) on my Pixel 8 so that I can run Gemini on it. After a short test, I switched back to the Assistant because Gemini simply doesn't do enough for my needs. I can't create appointments or reminders. Half of the new functions don't work in German anyway. If I understand correctly, Gemini always needs the internet to work, so it's not an "on device" service. All the interesting functions, such as Video Boost or Magic Editor, are all outsourced as a cloud service and are currently still free, but Samsung has already announced that they want to charge for them in 2025. Perhaps the deal between Samsung and Google was that only the Pro model of the Pixel 8 would get some of these features. Maybe the normal Pixel 8 will get it in a future feature drop. Who knows? My impression is that functions will be shifted from the hardware to the manufacturer's cloud in the future and will sooner or later become chargeable.

The points made might be valid, but I feel like everything you said about this topic could be summarized in like 3 minutes. Did you consider using AI to summarize the ranting? Or was there a hardware limitation? 🤨

It's a waste now SMH google need to be sued for this

Pixel 8a just came out and it supports Gemini Nano out of the box. Same Tensor G3 chip

It's also to not be dependent on Qualcomm

I plan on upgrading my pixel 5a in 2025 when Google is said to start using Quadcom chip set. I got one more year to go and I downloaded Graphen OS to my phone for extended security patch support until then

You made your point clear within the first 2 minutes that AI features aren't software limitations (and are most likely not hardware limitations unless Google lied about hardware/provide misinformation). Wish you spent the rest of the time doing deeper analysis or trend of thought. For instance, maybe Google wants to push people up to buy the pro, google doesn't want to disappoint people who bought the pro, etc. or that software features often cost a lot of money and even more than hardware features itself, especially when it needs to be maintained and stacked on top of each other year over year. I'm not defending Google but I'm just wishing you tackled more points or give it a fairer shake.

Hmmmm. I wonder if its time to look elsewhere!
