Google Pixel 8 Pro After The Buzz - It Was Interesting.. 

I'll buy it from you in 2 years and then keep it for another four.

@@michaelcorcoran8768 I wish I was like that. But no I’m dumb enough to buy a new phone every year because I’m an idiot.

Same here. I'm keeping my pixel 8 for at least 2 years. Until pixel 11 or 12 launches

I'm looking forward for the pixel 9 pro fold and I'm keep it for at least 3 years

i JUST got my Pixel on the day the 9 series guy announced lol. it's my first pixel or even mainstream phone and I'm liking it so far. I'll probably wait until the 10 at the earliest before i think about upgrading again

The camera is ridiculously good. Birthdays, weddings, graduations...I'm a clueless photographer and pictures look amazing.

I agree. I just point and shoot. Kindest regards, Richard U.K

The Pixel is probably the best point and shoot camera now.

reviewers exist on a different planet man

I can wait until dinner.

I would rather have the features at breakfast

I don't mind waiting but I'll probably need a little snack between lunch and dinner

Garbage cheap boy phone

Peak Nexus design

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN huh? Wtf are you talking about ?

I've owned a few Pixels and Nexus phones. The 6P is still my favorite. The camera and build quality were years ahead of the competition. Unfortunately the battery was a nightmare.

Who did you steal your PISS ALL from

Don't know what he was saying, but that was Jules Wang, he used to be at PocketNow, now he's at Android Police

@@HandheldAddict Thank you. I was also wondering who he was.

Google low key made the 6 Pro OP af through updates. Mine is blazing fast with no issues, and the battery life is crazy.

The PISS ALL...needs Roms mods launchers and root just to do anything

​@Trevor274 yeahhehehe, I'll continue to use mine until the pixel 11.

😂😂😂😂 you tripping

​@@samuelhere41gonna do the same with my pixel 7. I hope the new tsmc soc does wonders for the pixel as they do indeed get toasty.

In the UK, for some reason, giffgaff is selling a brand new unlocked 128GB Pixel 8 for £20 less than a brand new unlocked 128GB Pixel 8a.

Nope foldables are stupid...way overpriced way too fragile way too lacking

Unfortunately Foldables do not last long , wife's Samsung Fold 4 inner screen is now dead with screen protector is also bubbling . She can only use the outer narrow screen now.

Then get a Samsung

You’re better off with something else then…🤣 Google will use those horrible Samsung modems for a long time…

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN or iPhone which use Qualcomm Modem

Enhance zoom is on my p8p since the June update. People are going crazy on RU-vid... enhance zoom is just a simple feature that lets you zoom into your pictures more after taking them.just take pictures using your 50 mega pixel camera on the pro settings and you be able to enhance zoom in these pictures ..

​@@MrKems252Oh snap I guess I spoke too soon. I'll give it a go. Thanks for the tip

Do you think that the jump from S21+ to P9P (or P8P) is justified or the differences are barely noticeable?

This, I change phones a fair bit, button placement is getting on my nerves 😅

How about ml and cod

It's not like that sample in real life, not sure what happened with that particular sample.

I don't believe so

I don't have that issue

High hopes for the Pixel 9 series, I’m a fan!! Just be objective, the sample footage from the video was horrible shaky with the crappy lens flare the iPhone has. But pure android from Google, sign me up.

@@winstonhorn9683 I get what you're saying and I didn't bother to watch his part in the video. I was going strictly off of my own experience. I've had the pixel 8 Pro since it became available. I had the pixel 7 Pro before that and in my experience I haven't had those issues. It might be because since day one I've run beta software. I have no idea but I personally didn't deal with that. My biggest issue has been with service which the new Samsung modem is supposed to fix so I'm really looking forward to that. But as far as like usability smoothness even gaming, I haven't really had any issues or anything that I would consider unplayable and I'm a pretty anal you know power user I've either. Just had really good luck on the beta software with just a few hiccups here and there or I just got a better bend model. I'm not sure but I can honestly say that as far as the issue list goes mine has been extremely minimal

Google makes android, why wouldn't they want to share their features with devices running their software?

Uhm, didn't Google commission a custom chip set for it?

​@@edrosales1520I wish they didn't. Or commissioned it to someone else.

Nothing unique, yet has the best and unique camera on a smart phone. Did you think properly before making that comment

@@genesisyt9662 What's unique about the camera? And it's definitely not the best. Cameras in chinese brands like Vivo or Huawei are on another level.

Get the pro, the XL is bigger than the 8 pro and for me it's a little too tall to swipe with one hand

I could get a Galaxy S24 but they look really ugly.

Do you have any bugs which still exist ?

@@iAfroTech There are only two bugs that come to mind. Sometimes it doens't give a time of how long it's gonna take to charge the phone. And with one of my bluetooth devices, the audio stutters if it autoconnects to the phone until i reconnect - maybe like 30% of the time... But that's only with one bluetooth device out of the 10 I use. I think it's a good phone and even though it might not be as fast as a S24 or an iPhone, there's still much less lag and bugs in the operating system than any Galaxy device in my experience. It's quite well optimized. And battery life is much better than I expected. I go to bed with 30-40%, even if I have 3 screen hours and 1 hour of bluetooth audio playback a day. After four months of overnight charging, it's still at 102% battery capacity (5131 mah)

@@hoppebold02 thanks for your answer

What about camera ?

@@damnbrainlets7721 I mean it's really good. But it isn't as "magically good" as people say pixels are. But better than my previous phone, an S21+. It's basically neck on neck with other newer flagships.

And that stupid at a glance widget. I thought one of the big selling points of android was its customisability, but obviously not if you buy a Pixel. I don't want to be messing about with launchers in this day and age

Don't have either on my home screen no idea what y'all are on about

Just use a third party launcher.

@@shyamal903 You don't get it. I don't WANT to have to use a third party launcher. The Pixel's native launcher is precisely what I like about it. If I use a third party launcher, it completely loses its unique style. I'm not looking to compromise here.

I would still buy a Pixel over Samsung because of the software, it’s real Android now Samsung’s junk version of Android.

Where did you get it from? eBay ?

​@@bengoeyfrom a UK based Cash Generator store.

Unless you buy one from Verizon here in the States then you'll have a locked bootloader. Samsung phones not from the US and Canada have unlocked bootloaders.

@@DavidNgo86 that's not true my friend. Who told you these lies? Canada has banned carrier locking since 2017. And buying from Google store let's you buy unlocked

@@pastasauce99 this is OEM locking man. Google it if you don't believe me

@@pastasauce99 Samsung phones in the US started having locked bootloader across the board in 2016 and Canada since 2017.

@@DavidNgo86 sim locking(carrier locking) and bootloader are not the same thing. Also Samsungs are not carrier locked. I think you are confusing the two

Pre orders are up for the pixel 9, I would definitely get the 9 over the 8. I pre ordered mine gonna switch from iPhone 15 plus

But you can't use the space it covers to put other widgets. In the end you're limited to only turning it on and off

TMSC? The creators of the chips with a HUGE Security Flaw that everyone is pushing updates for ASAP alright buddy

It did for me !

Yea

Get 256

Not necessarily Snapdragon. TMSC makes Apple’s chips so that’s probably the better option. Snapdragon will tweak the chip for the customer TSMC lets the customer design their own which Google supposedly wants to do.

Well then you can forget about buying another pixel ever again.

I'd even take a Mediatek chip over the Tensor, they're pretty decent these days

@@pagadqs pretty sure the screen wasn’t so bright because of the heat. What where you doing in that situation? Used the phone a lot?

I Live in Florida Brightness Capital of the World, Sunshine State after all. This is the ONLY Phone I've used in the This State where I can actually see the screen in direct Sunlight. I work outside and cover the whole state this is a Daily Use Case. Sounds like you either have no idea how to use your phone, you're lying or you somehow got a Defective Model. Which I've heard nothing about sooo I guess.."Cool Story Bro"

And the bricked

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN ??

Yeah 😅 Google phones are not reliable phones at all, especially brand new ones…

Apple Intelligence doesn't exist, it's a future proposition. You can get abilities now elsewhere, and even on iPhones using other apps.
