3 weeks into my Pixel 8 Pro and loving it. My only request from Google is that they continue to improve the Pixel camera app and add on screen controls to lock both focus and white balance while in video mode . I know there are ways to do what I'm asking for, but I find them a bit imprecise. Hoping for a software update that adds Pro Video controls similar to the Pro Photo mode . This isn't a complaint it's a feature request and I've sent feedback to Google in hopes we'll get it in a future update.

I would not be suprised that we will see Manual Mode for Video with P9 Pro line as a feature, considering how marketing and features goes nowadays.

For 95% of users, many of the flagship and midrange phones are PLENTY fast enough. Cameras on many phones are pretty darn good as well. I think people have lost the ability to appreciate things. Nothing is 'good enough'. I have a Pixel 7 as my secondary phone and it's an excellent phone, with the exception of the not-so-good fingerprint sensor. We didn't even HAVE Cell phones when I was growing up, much less smart phones. For many, their expectations are unrealistic. Thus endeth the rant. Nice one as usual Adam.

Picked up my pixel 8 Pro 1 week after launch, so far so good. No major issues, although it doesn't seem like a huge speed increase over the 3a XL... It is notably faster when loading multitudes of thumbnails such as in KZread, has significantly better cameras and more storage space. Got the update last night, on Verizon. My 3a XL typically updated on the 5th of every month. This update for the eight pro is listed as a November 5th update. Seems like they're holding the same update pattern of releasing it on the 5th.

I played with the 8 Pro's "pro" camera features a lot, and I can say from experience, that the difference in processing time from the pixel-binned images to the 50mp images is nearly negligible. By contrast, if there's a lot of dynamic range in your scene or there are a lot of different things being recognized by the Pixel camera, like people, pets, various skin tones, sky, and deep shadows, etc... that usually results in longer processing time - sometimes several seconds. But in return, it's going to show you the Best Take options, it's going to detect what type of photo you just took, whether it's a portrait, landscape, document, etc... it's going to reduce the highlights, raise the shadows, sharpen fine details, smooth skin, all that HDR shit. The Pixel camera is doing a ton in the background and it doesn't always get it right, but that is what you're getting when you buy a Pixel. Turn some of those "AI" features off, and you still have one of the best, if not the best, point-and-shoot smartphone cameras available.

I'm happy it's faster, and I know it's not the top notch, but it will do most things I want. I'll miss headphone jack tho, I wanted to get Xperia 1 V, but Sonly only have 3 years of support.

Before I bought my pixel 8 pro, I watched several videos and yours is what sold me on this phone! I have been using this phone for about 3 weeks now and loving it. It does what I want it to do and it does it very quickly. I have no issues with battery life (I charge once a day), I don't play HD video games, and I still am learning new tricks. Seeing all these naysayers is just noise, just like when seeing dozens of videos on "why Margaritaville ships suck", or all the complaints about Hyundai engines catching fire (I have my 4th one and never had any issues). People on social media just like to complain more than compliment. Thanks and have a good day.

I don't understand the hate that's coming to the Pixel 8 Pro. I currently own the Pixel 6A, Pixel 7, and the Pixel 8 Pro. I've owned the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 3A XL.

To b honest, im really happy with the 8 Pro compared to the 7 Pro last year. The battery is a big improvement, with the 7 pro, it gets hot right out the box even with casual use. With the 8 Pro, that has been fixed, the phone stay cool the entire time. The only time when it gets warm is watching videos in cellular data. Therefore, the battery last longer too, and im digging the Bay color! The battery improvement alone is worth upgrading from the 7 Pro imo

I jumped ship from Samsung around 3 years ago with a Pixel 4a, and that got the Android 14 and after that the 4a works as smooth as silk but it was time to upgrade as i needed a better camera and boy the P8P doesn't disappoint. The on screen finger print it has bothered me and it has been hard to get working many many times, i was running the October 5th version and now just downloaded the security update so lets see if it helps anything.

With all my 370 apps which are installed (and some of them running in the background) I think the Tenskr G3 is the very best option. I've had the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 before and not only was that one ALWAYS lagging when just swiping on the home screen or switching apps, but the battery was draining af. Now with the Pixel 8 Pro, it's been smooth all the time and the battery is like twice as long.

I've had the pixel 8 pro since it was launched, switching from iPhone 14 pro cuz I really got bored with Apple. Tbh my review is that overall I'm really satisfied with my pixel and I really love all the smart features it offer, it's the first Android device I own and I've been an apple fan boy since a very long time 😅 What I miss from the iPhone is the face id and when I try to edit videos just cropping some frames out of it sometimes it becomes really frustrating and takes a lot of time to process, these are the two main disadvantages for me, other than that I'm really happy with the phone, little bit hesitant to recommend the phone to any of my friends after the watch offer is removed now thinking of it in terms of value for money. These are my thoughts

I love my 8 pro and haven't had any issues. Battery life is better than the Pixel 7 it replaced. I used to get off work with 20-25% battery left. 8 pro, I still have 50-60% 50mp photo is a bit laggy for me but it takes what I shoot. 🤷‍♂️

Had my 8 pro since day one and the only problem I've had is call screening in phone settings keeps disappearing, downloading the latest update right now so I'm hoping it will get fixed

I have the 7 pro, and loving it. Don't have heating problems, battery is great, camera is great, speed is great, etc. just wish charging was a tad bit faster

The issue I have with the pixel right now, is in the past they would discount them so quickly almost days after they had come out. But with this last generation of Pixels doesn't feel like they have. I really wanted to see the Pixel fold hit 799-999$ and was going to call it the best high end fold for the price. But this time around I think missed their audience.

I do photography a lot, and Pixel is amazing because it is the only phone that can capture full res RAW on its periscope

I would suggest if next pixel pro can change thermometer to thermal sensor for camera or infrared for night time mono photography and also can use as remote, barcode scanner. It would also be great working with blackberry for their security software to enhance security and make new tensor chip build in with gps, so can find the phone while switched off or stolen

It's also strange that we have attacks from both sides. We have super android fans who get number obsessed and probably dislike that it is taking a similar approach to apple and focusing on software and external hardware and doing their own thing with internals. Ironically there are also lots of people nostalgic about the Pixel 5 which got destroyed because it was (even more so) a mid range phone with below top level chip, battery etc etc. The Pixel 8 series with bundled pre order bonus of watch or buds pro is still an absolute bargain in the phone market.

Just curious... what tempered glass do you have on it? I have the Amfilm but the U-shaped cutout is not the best looking let's just put it like that 😅

well?

I have less problems with my pixel 8 pro than my iPhone 15 pro also!

How are the speakers compared to samsung s23+? Thinking of trading in my s20 fe 5g. Well if I would watch the whole video before typing, you answered my question.😂 Speakers more important than the camera to me. Enjoy your videos.

This is my problem do I go for a discounted 23 ultra or a pixel 8pro Samsung doing some great deals in the uk😊

Great phone. Major problem with me is the fingerprint sensor. Had an Honor 7X, not once in five years did the sensor missed a fingerprint!

Have you already done a Pixel 7 vs Pixel 8 comparison video? I'm interested in seeing one

Thanks for your thoughts on this awesome phone.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

I'm still having the problem on my pixel fold when I opt out of the beta program it's said that I have the public android 14 so I updated it but I don't have the app ratio fixed when I do and gotta go back in the beta just to get it back how do I fix that ?

Just upgraded for the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Had no issues with the 6 and the 8 Pro is great imo!

Glad it’s been a good experience for you

I have a local dealer that gets me the new phone annually. They buyout my remaining balance and give me the new phone zero down! It's not a necessity but it's nice to always have the latest, hopefully greatest! Been using Google since the 6 Pro.

Debating on gettinf the pixel 8 pro, s23 plus or flip 5. I have the s23 fe already but its locked to metro(i have att and bought it to test out tmobile coverage where i live).

I buy my phones outright also. Unlocked is the only way to go for me!! #TeamPixel

It does not matter if you can't call a contact, or when you call your doctor you can't select the extension number because the keys are buried. This phone does not meet my needs. At least a tracfone does the job. This one is going back to the store.

My P8P has some really good screen on tiime (7 hours). But the problem I have is that when I check the battery consumptiom by systems, I see the wifi consumes the most amount of battery. More than the cpu and screen. SO the top 3 are wifi (30-35%), followed by cpu (~25%) and screen (~25%). is this a problem ? anyone else seeing this in their divice ?

Was thinking of giving them a try, i hate samsung as a company but i have always used there phones cause they simply work. I only care about two things, can i use it all day and does it have a powerful modem, my S23 ultra has both so i love it. Super excited for the S24 ultra with the shiney new X75 modem. I have tmobile so a good modem makes all the difference

So far better than my S23 ultra in some cases but definitely not the most hated phone

I hate this phone. Tapping the screen is like hitting a hollow core, plus the screen doesn't register taps half the time. The battery dies faster than pixel 7. It heats up just surfing the web. Has connection issues, Bluetooth disconnects randomly.

I love having the most hated phone! Having a iPhone is so boring, and sooo expensive!

There is a set of people who hate Pixels, no matter what. There are some KZreadrs like that too. MrWhosetheboss is one of them.

Yup. There definitely are a lot of haters

Phone of the year is the Moto Edge Plus 2023. Nope its not the S23 Ultra. From display, to battery life, to being eye friendly, to size and weight, charging speed on and on the Edge Plus 2023 is the best phone in 2023. The display is crystal clear, vibrant and the blacks are inky black.

After trying out so many phones, I start caring less and less about spec sheets. I care even less about the benchmark apps. I never push my phone to its limit. I turn off animations and high refresh rates because in that case I can't tell. Is the signal reliable? Does the battery last? Does it run cool under normal use? Do photos look good enough to print an album? Do videos look good when casting on TV? Wishing they brought back the SD drive, the headphone jack. You've got Sony and Asus. Sony's too expensive with crappy selfie cam, Zenfone 10 isn't compatible with Verizon or any mvnos that use Verizon. P.S. Hope your parent is doing well.

Does anyone know if the pro features will also be available on the pixel fold? Otherwise why charge me so much for a phone that won't have any pro features?

Call me Petty Roosevelt (so to Floss) but I would get this in an instant if the corners of the screen weren't as round

Hi I never head a Pixel before and I never used faceunlock before. So I have a questions on it. I am wearing a beard in different Styles. Sometimes i nearly shave it of. Ans sometime I let it grow forever. Will this bei a Problem with faceunlock?

It should probably still work.

My Pixel 4 XL had an awesome face unlock feature

Urgh ... just upgraded to the Pixel 8 yesterday and I have to say that i'm somewhat disappointed. However, I'm not disapointed for any major issue but it seems odd to me that in terms of customization; somehow Samsung does it better. Case in point: I'm the personality type that likes things clean and organized. I just don't like a continuous grid of icons because it feels clutterd to me. If you're like me and you scroll up to access all your apps on the Pixel 8, you'll be disappointed to find that you cannot organize those apps into folders. Someting else that really bothers me is that on my Galaxy phones I can always set my pin number to not require confirmation. I'm probably getting the termnology wrong but what I'm talking about is when you enter your pin you also have to hit the arrow button to confirm/enter. Sure you have to do that on a Galaxy phone as well but Samsung offers you the option to turn the confirmation off meaning that as soon as you enter your pin you're in. I'm really surprised that Google didn't include this customization. I've only had the phone for less then 24 hours now and so far I love it but these little customization issues are significant to me. I'm hoping I don't bump into more or I may take AT&T up on the offer to send it back but as mush as I love Galaxy phones, I hate that Samsung sits between men and Google prioritizing Samsung apps and collecting data.

Returned mine. Battery life was horrible. It heat up when you use it for long time. It's also on the heavier side than other phones like S23+.

It’s 10-20g lighter than the S23 Ultra and IPhone 15 Pro Max… but ok. The S23+ is also quite inferior and a rip off for $999.

@TechOdyssey I was able to buy a S23+ 512gb for $750 through my workplace discount. Very happy with it so far. Feels better than the Pixel 8 pro.

​@@nycalien.. Don't listen to this you tuber. I have been using the pixel phone for a long time and I find it to be the most fraustrating phones to use. I tried to make it my main phone but it fall short in important areas. Charging speed, modem, bad connection, battery life, app bugs within a google software. For a $1000 phone, Google pixel has failed in the most basic function of a phone. The s23 plus is a great phone with great battery life, good camera, reliable connection, fast charging. Everything just works with this phone. Only thing missing is the s pen and long zoom camera. It is big but small enough to hold in your hands. Great choice.

I do have the Google Pixel 7 Pro and love it.Android 14 Actually made this phone Even better & Battery has better heat management it hardly gets warm at all now And of course the Camera is Amazing.
