    I switched from 6 Pro to 8 Pro and it is like night and day. My 6 Pro always got hot while only browsing the web and listening to music or scrolling through Social Media. I am not talking about heavy tasks like video editing. The signal here on Deutsche Telekom 5G is so much better and due to not heating up so fast it feels like Pixel 8 Pro charges even faster. My main issue with 6 Pros camera was the not so wide "ultrawide" lens. That is also fixed with Pixel 8 Pro. It has a truely ultra wide camera lens. Well done Google, for me personally worth the upgrade.

    I owned the Pixel 6 Pro at launch, and I loved it. I think aesthetically, the bold color block design of the all-black camera bar, and the two-tone color back is immediately recognizable as a pixel and I think I prefer it to the new metal covered visor. Not that the pixel 8 is not recognizable, but the bold black is that much easier to identify. I also like the *feel* of the rounded screen and narrow metal frame. For small hands, that felt a little easier to hold and it definitely feels high-end. That being said, the Pixel 8 pro's screen brightness alone makes a huge difference in usability while outside. The 6 pro display is so dim, it is barely visible outside during the day, so I just... Couldn't use it if I was outside. 😅 I'll take a phone I can actually use/see (even if the hardware isn't *that* different) ANY day over aesthetics and admittedly decent performance. The rounded corners and frosted glass of the 8pro still feel nice and luxurious, and I like that tempered glass screen protectors are much easier to find for the flat display.

    Went from 6 pro to 8 pro here. Main points for me after a month in... Signal quality is LIGHT YEARS ahead on the 8 pro. I live in a fringe coverage area and I went from barely usable to rock solid. Camera is better on the 8 by a fair margin. The focal length lends itself to more DSLR looking pictures. Performance isn't much better. I never had heat issues on the 6, and don't with the 8 either. But day to day usability isn't much improved for me. The 8 has a number of odd bugs just like the 6 has. Certain things like now playing, the finger print reader, etc bug out in the same ways. They really failed by not upgrading the finger print reader

    Out of the gate, AT&T gave me $1050 trade for my 6 Pro, so there's that. Huge improvements: - Screen brightness. 6 Pro was useless in any type of sunlight at all. - Wider, higher quality ultra wide. 6 pro ultrawide was a throwaway lens with negligible increase in width over the wide lens and quality trash - 2x portrait mode massive quality improvement - Macro modes that allow taking photos closer for quick shots - Battery, modem, does not heat up doing simple tasks. Better reception, GREAT LTE only speeds so turning off 5G to save batter no tradeoffs in my area with AT&T Improvements: - 30w charging - also no heating up doing menial tasks that use mobile data - Battery life noticeable improvement - Pro mode on cameras. Ability to lock a specific lens and 50 mp can produce some really shart shots on ALL lenses - Flat screen FTW I had really suffered for the last 2 years with the heat of the original Tensor and the embarassingly terrible modem. Android 14 actually improved battery life on the 6 Pro in a noticeable way - probably added at least an hour screen on time throughout the day but all of the above issues really couldn't be helped. I'm happy that I made the upgrade but was this close to getting my first iPhone in the 15 Pro Max after the obvious engineering shortfalls of the 6 Pro.

    No, it doesn't seem to be available within the Recorder app. Funnily, it's 100% possible to use it by using the Recorder app's "convert to video" function then opening the video in Google Photos. But I can't seem to find Audio Magic Eraser anywhere within the Recorder app itself, it seems to be video only, at least for now.

    I upgraded P6 Pro -> P8 Pro after doing some DIY repairs, and I have no regrets. Screen brightness outdoors is night and day, the camera app organization is great, and the flat screen is such a blessing. No more cases that only protect the top and bottom of the screen from drops! No more hell to apply screen protectors! I liked the curved display's feel, but I did not like how much I damaged the screen over the course of only two years. Plus, after watching the video, I completely forgot about the signal quality improvement. It "just works" now in a way my Pixel 6 Pro never did, even in tough places like a basement with a veak 4G signal repeater. If your Pixel 6 Pro is still going strong, good on you, I'd stick with it. But if it's seeing the wear and tear of 2 years already like mine was, I would recommend upgrading, and taking advantage of the much easier to apply, and much better looking, screen protectors.

    Been enjoying my Pixel 6 pro but the only downside is with thermals especially when browsing the web and socials as well as streaming music over cellular. It gets super-hot. Another heating issue arises when recording a video, it gets hot and gives me a warning about the device getting slowed down. I hope these are some of the issues ironed out with the 8 pro, otherwise I will be considering the s24+ or Ultra.

    I've got the 7 pro. and upgrading to the 8 pro is all about if we get the Ai updates retro updated to the 7 pro. As myself and many other people spent their money less than 12 months ago on the 7 pro, I just think it would be amoral of Google to leave a virtually new device out in the weeds. The Ai is a big factor to me, and I know Google have said that they will support the 8 pro for the next 7 years for hardware and software. But rather than buying again this year, I think I might just wait a bit to see what happens. What if I bought the 8 pro now, and when the 9 pro comes out next year it has further upgrades that the 8 pro wont get? It leaves me a little dissatisfied with Google's approach to customer retention. Yes I know they are a company whose focus is on making a profit, like every other company out there, but still....

    You will always have this question as companies will always put out incremental upgrades each year. AI was new last year so Google didn't know it'd have the impact it has now. I think waiting at least a year for a cheaper 8 pro is the way to go - still get the software upgrades for 6 years and AI integration the phone was made for, but at a cheaper price. Best of both worlds.

    I just need a good phone for taking video, I still like my Moto G30 but the autofocus and dynamic range in video mode aren't that good. At first I was also considering action cameras but they're quite expensive for just a camera, harder to carry around and worse for low-light and photography. The post-processing on a phone is just better. With a phone, an added benefit is the comparatively great battery life. If I just use two phones while travelling, I won't need to hassle with powerbanks anymore as I can use the Pixel 6 Pro solely for its camera features and my current device for normal things. I was looking at the €190 Galaxy S20 FE originally but the software, camera and battery size on the Pixel 6 Pro are noticeably better and for €250 it seems to be worth the cost. I hope the curved display, Tensor battery drainage and overheating issue as well as the spotty cellular connection won't pose too much of a problem. It seems like every phone model always has some flaws, can't avoid it.

    This is just my experience but I found with my Pixel 6 Pro I couldn't use google maps for directions in my car if I had it on the wireless charger. After about half an hour or so the device would heat up so much the wireless charging would turn off and I'd need to plug it in using an extra USB-C cable to keep it from loosing charge. The Pixel 8 Pro on the other hand seems to have no issue with wireless charging and running google maps at the same time. I've done a 2 hour trip so far and while the phone did get warm, never enough to prevent the wireless charging from working. So for me this is very much a nice upgrade.

It is slower, and somehow renders more dull, whitish, bland image compared to bit warmer images in 6 pro. Dynamic mode editing also changes image brightness and color composition in a different way compared to 6 pro. I do not like it (could be personal choice)

    I replaced my Pixel 6P with a Pixel 7P. My main reason was overheating while charging, but I found that the 7P has the same problem. Notice I said replaced, not upgraded. I might just wait for another few years before upgrading, or I will switch to the Qualcomm silicon on a Samsung phone. Google....wouldn't it be less work to convince Qualcomm to extended their processor support than trying to completely make your own buggy, slow, and subpar silicon????

Has anyone seen issues like this with the 8?. I'll trade this in and eat the costs. I just need it fixed.

    Pixel 6 Pro & 7a owner here. Whilst on paper the 6 Pro is great it had its fall backs which have shown in changes made to the newer 7 and 8 models. Curved screens are nice but I damaged mine in a light drop with a protector and case. Cost to repair was the same as a new device($350+ at 3 places) and it simply wasn't worth it. It just hits in a certain way and isn't as secure as flat screen phones. I've just bought the 7a on sale and feel like I'm honestly not missing out on much from the 6 Pro. Battery life also isn't great, i had to keep it in batter saver to make it through the day before I got home. It has all the other features etc like fast charge. I'll very likely hold onto the 7a until this time next year when the 9 gets released or I'll step up to an 8 Pro if it makes sense on sale and I can get a decent worth from this 7a.

    The 6pro is ridiculously cheap here in the uk for a good condition model,i paid 150 uk pounds for mine with a 12 month guarantee and the 8 pro is 1000 pounds new.The 6 pro on android 14 runs amazing i get seven hours screen on time throughout the day,the sensor works fast every time,the cameras are great,the phone is fast and never overheats.I figure it takes google two years to actually fix there flagship models so they work as they should at release.I did have an s23 plus before this 6 pro and sent it back as the 6 pro takes better photos.

On my pixel 6 pro the finger print doesn't work on mine "won't recognize my finger" plus the dead pixels on the top right corner are the reasons why I just bought the 8 Pro plus I like using mag safe wireless battery chargers and I've heard the 8 pro has a better wireless charging system.
