Damn! The minimalism of your video is breadth taking!. Super fluid and amazing edits

After yesterdays December update mine is running so so so much smoother. Battery life appears to be much improved. Android Auto has also been vastly improved the two times I have used it since the update. Previously it would disconnect or freeze every other time I used it. Really wish companies stopped releasing phones with broken features and functionality at launch because if I was a first time Pixel user the initial experience would leave much to be desired. This is now the Pixel 8 Pro we should have gotten in October.

Great review - hit the nail on the head. Loving my 8Pro as well :)

Excellent video editing/quality. Your studio/lighting looks fantastic

Good video. I use the Niagara launcher, which removes the search bar and the at a glance widget. It will give a completely blank wallpaper, or you can select certain icons if you want.

I'm definitely part of the 95% who enjoy this phone. I've had my pixel 8 pro for 2 months now other than a app taking a little bit longer to open every now and again everything has been smooth sailing for me I highly recommend this phone especially at the price you can pick it for now. Thanks for the video I really enjoy your content keep up the good work

Your video production is another level!!

I love mine so far, nice video 😊

Brilliant review as usual Sam👌🏻

Awesome video so far! I don't know why your battery on the Pixel 8 was bad because mine is surprisingly great. I do keep wifi/bluetooth off when not in use, system haptics I keep off and I keep adaptive brightness on. Maybe that's why your battery life wasn't that great? Either way I love my pixel 8, the way it looks and feels is great. TBH this is my favorite design so far

Brilliant pics on this phone as a dad of three kids the ones of your little ones is the deal breaker for me as they were soo good that I could print them off for the wall in the living room of mine. As a dad to a dad your little ones were very cute in the pics and hopefully I can replicate great pics with my little monsters:) thanks for the vid I'm jumping right into watching the rest of your content have a great day.

@Sam Beckman Thank you for another great video. Would you consider doing an updated video on rooting your Pixel 8 Pro and keeping payment functionality?

i love seeing 21x9 content! very enjoyable on my ultrawide, appreciated

The wallpapers in the phone are so nice. Would you mind telling me which app you use for these wonderful wallpapers.

As a longtime Samsung/ATT user, for me the best part of the Pixel 8 pro besides the cameras, is the lack of bloatware. The amount of un-installable bloat on the ATT Samsung phones is insane.

Love the Christmas music in the background 😂. Side note: I think that the slow buffer of the camera is more towards the sensor tech rather than the processing speed. Samsung never had the best sensor in the market for speed anyways. I just hope Google move to Sony again soon.

great video. love my 8 pro so much! switched freshly from ios to android an i love it :D how do you rooted your 8 pro?

I've only had the phone a week but I've found the image search thing to be really helpful watching something cool on KZread I'm interested in and just holding the chin and being able to do a search on what I'm looking at is so quick and convenient

The colour pallet of your video is pretty. I like the pastel colours.

I thought I wouldn't get any use out of the thermometer either, but it's pretty neat when preparing certain beverages you don't want to boil, like tea or hot chocolate

I'm looking to go pixel next. I am still torn between the 7 pro and 8 pro. Here in the UK, is an extra £18 per month worth it to get the 8 pro over the 7 pro?

How's the battery? How long does it take to charge?

"This is the Pixal Aight Pro" - Sam Beckman

Why does the camera do that with portraits? 10:30

The glossy back doesn't bother me as most people who want to keep their phones scratch free and drop safe always put cases on their phones. So the finish becomes insignificant.

Im so glad I preordered the 8 pro. I got the Watch 2 for free and bought the pixel buds. I was blown away since I used to be a OnePlus user. The features, the watch, the sound quality of the buds. All of it was perfect. If I had to nitpick one thing, it's you can't use routines on your Watch.

Did you get the deal for the smart watch through att? If so did you have to get service for the watch too?

I'm still running my OnePlus 9 Pro, with having had a OnePlus 5T previous, and I'm getting to the point now where I'm wondering if it's time to make an upgrade. With having had the 9 Pro for almost 3 years, I'm getting concerned for software updates and also I'm not quite satisfied with the cameras picture quality. I'm trying to find out if the camera department in general has made such a huge step forward in these 3 years that it warrants a new flagship phone or if I should wait some more. Gonna have my first kid this year, so I'm kind of keen to have a stable good camera setup that won't fail me in times of need the next few years. Any pointers for a lost man? :) Never tried Apple stuff, had a samsung 10 years ago, but mostly run with OnePlus so far.

where can i find the wallpaper used at 01:16

Agree I think they need to make the camera bar and rails matte.

It's the Pixel 8 for me. That smaller size is so much more manageable and falls naturally into hand. Also, something satisfying about not falling for the upsell from Google for the pro.

Do you recommend the Google watch?

What icon pack are you using for your app bar widget? 😮

How you quit the dock and the search bar yo use kwgt widget? Or you just use a Launcher?

Are you using the pixel watch? How do you find it @sam

I use the temperature sensor all the time specially, when I am making coffee. also, I wish I can use it to check body temperature, specially when my kids are not feeling well and have a elevated body temperature. What would be more awesome is if it has object recognition and change the mode automatically.

Where can we find those wallpaper you showcase?

Hi how are you finding this phone I'm looking to upgrade to this one from the one plus 10 pro will I notice any difference between the two??

How do you have access to all of your banking apps with root access? I thought Google/banking apps blocked all rooted devices from having access.

Where did you get your phone case?

12:27 you forgot to censor your email id. or is it already public?

what do I have to do to get those icons? 13:47 ? mines do not look like that

I've said it before, but in my use the finger print sensor is hit and miss , face I'd is also hit and miss especially in poor light. Also if you eyes are not 20/20 and you have the font enlarged slightly , it can have all sorts of annoying effects on the keyboard, and to text windows in general at times , but Google is not alone with these issues. For my medium large old mechanics hands , I wouldn't mind if the screen was wider , ( personal preference) but the flat screen is nice ( thanks Google ), also the button placement and size is a bit of an annoyance for my big ugly mitts , again personal preference. Also the keyboard it appears unless I'm using it wrong doesn't appear to have track pad functionality ? Both my galaxy and iPhone have it . Have I missed something?

I’d love to get a video on the root and customization process you took please! Come one Sam!!!

I have major heat issues with my 8 Pro, especially when wireless charging. Got a replacement, same issue. Not sure I want to deal with radiation

You can turn 'At a glance' off in settings.

what an aesthetic sense u have🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely! I always habe some nitpicks with my phones, but the only thing with the pixel 8 pro for me is the price, it should be 100 bucks less….on the other hand there‘s the long support time... If you can get it with a deal (i preordered, got 150 bucks discount and a free pixel watch) it’s the absolutely best android device you can buy right now, at least in my book 😁👍

Do you note the screen color to be washed out? My 8 Pro - the blacks are washed out. Lots of people are complaining about this too.

Low budget for Lidar made them install thermometer

14:20 I’ll tell you like I tell the other reviewers… give the thermometer a chance and be sure to have your pixel at the distance they provide. Then use a traditional thermometer. IMHO, the thermometer isn’t a gimmick and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for it. BTW, I use the thermometer often and satisfied with the results…. sometimes. So instead of trashing it, give it a chance. ALSO, awesome long(ish) term review.
