I Gave Pixel 8 "A" Second Chance! 

Previously somebody had commented "paid for premium still showing long ads"

nah the wordplay in the title is actually smart

I've been telling everyone, it is the 5G modem used in Samsung manufacturered processors that holds them back. They are highly inefficient, drain a lot of battery, heat up and drop calls. Until Samsung figures out these issues, it is very stupid of someone to buy pixel phones or Samsung with exynos. That is why I got my S23 yesterday, instead of S24. Loving the sdg 8 gen 2

If Google works on there chipset and pricing I am sure they will dominate the Indian market. Plus the app camera support like ios will be a Cheery on top as pixel is a Google's phone, so why not 🤷

I am a pixel 8 user right now I'm in Vancouver, Canada. I didn't face any network issues but My friends who has iPhone 15 and they face network issues here. The performance is good for day to day tasks. Buying a pixel phone you will have lots of bugs but after 4 to 6 months you will have a bug free phone. I faced a heating issue on the back camera bar during video call if I was on call for more than 40 mins. Other than no heating issue because here in Vancouver weather is about 10 to 14° C right now so in India the phone would get hot. I would recommend buying a pixel phone if you are not a gamer, you use it for day to day tasks and for long term use since it supports 7 yrs software experience. Finally this phone is for someone who is a casual user and who doesn't change their phone every two years .

The answer is No (save your time) Buy s23 (with 8gen 2 instead)

The Archiving an app is an excellent feature. Would come in very handy

Using the pixel 8 mint version and yes i dont play games and dont use 5g. Thats the only reason i guess i dont face any issues with my unit. battery gives me 6hr 30 min to 7hr sot, so pretty much happy with the phone. All i can say is pixel phones are not for everybody, there are better options but as a stock android my only options are motorola and pixel and we all know how updates are with moto. (bought my pixel 8 for 52k after exchanging my pixel 4a).

Upgraded to s23 from pixel 6a way better than pixle even it has less battery capacity im getting better battery backup in s23 than pixel 6a now i got to know processor and optimisation matters

This phone is really good. I wish it came with snapdragon chipsets. Would have made it much powerful and appealing.

00:02 Pixel 8 offers discounts but divisive opinions on its performance 01:03 Pixel 8 is a compact and high-performing phone with a great display and impressive camera. 02:01 Pixel 8 showed improvement but still has minor differences compared to s23. 03:00 Google Pixel 8 runs on Android 15 beta 1. 03:54 Archiving vs. uninstalling apps and Pixel 8 specific features 04:46 Pixel exclusive features eventually available on all Android phones. 05:49 Pixel 8 struggles with network connectivity and overheats during 4G/5G switching. 06:45 Pixel 8 offers good cameras and clean Android experience but lags in network connectivity and faces tough competition.

The background is really good🔥

I have been using the Pixel 8 for the last 4 months .. Before this I had the Pixel 7 for about a year .. So all I can say is that if you are somebody who considers software experience as a priority then there is nothing in the market that can come close to the pixels .. Although Samsung has upped it's game but it is still a step behind the Pixel experience.. The camera produces natural photos which you can later adjust accordingly to your liking which is much better than those over saturated colour boosted photos .. Although one thing I would say is that the phone tends to heat up during the summer months but there is no performance drop as such .. You can play pretty heavy games for about half an hour and I think that is more than enough for any casual gamer out there .. Plus you get the latest pixel Experience not a one year old flagship as in the case with S23 .. I think this review sums it up for you guys .. So cheers🎉

The title is not wrong, TW has used some clever wordplay here.

Try e sim it made battery to last longer and improved network connectivity and lower thermal issues . I did it . and it worked well

I own a pixel 8. One thing no tech reviewer talks about is Pixel 8 does not charge (very slow - 10-25% per hour speed) if the ambient i.e. room temperature goes above 35 degree C. Consider that before buying, pretty frustrating coz summer temperature is always high up and if you like traveling - you can't control ambient temperatures and the device won't charge even with power bank. People with iPhone told me that it's the same for them with their iPhones, but this is my first time using a flagship - and I don't like it when my phone doesn't charge. Additionally, it's not about a faulty device, if you search on reddit - you'll find a lot of reviews on the same thing about charging speed. Edit: About the network/5G thing: It connects to 5G if you force "NR only", but India doesn't have VoNR hence you'll not be able to call unless you switch back to 4G whenever you wanna call or receive one.

I'm from Ethiopia and I like y'all's videos cuze they are not just reviews but in many ways educational and help me understand the industry even after taking a break from tech videos for a while. Good job.

I've been using the Pixel 7 without any performance or heating issues, and my overall experience has been simply incredible.

Where can I find those awesome spidey walls?

The Galaxy S23 is selling for 47K, why in the world would anyone go for the Pixel 8A?

I thought this video was abt pixel 8a confusing title

been using a pixel 7a for a few months. some of the issues are heating, battery life and ofcourse network connectivity. Maybe Pixel 9 can overcome these problems.

Very honest review, this is why this is the best tech channel on youtube. Regards from Europe

whats your thought about pixel 8a

Hi brother im student I have idea to purchase new laptop but lot of confusion about which brand choose can you suggest good thing about laptop selecting...

Hi, Nothing Phone 2 OR Motorola Edge 50 Pro - for daily use with good network reception. Not into gaming or media consumption on phone. Previous device was Oneplus 7T, typically keeps phones for 3+ years. Considering Moto for 28K and NP2 for 35K. Recommendations?

bought s23 2 days ago. performance good. camera good. BB above avg. UI smooth. one ui amazing.

Sir galaxy s24 whole series ke bhi kuch videos nikalo na, I am bit confused ki s24 series wala Lena chahiye ya fir s23 series, s23 series me dikkt hai ki vo 3-4 saal tk ke updates denge or jabki s24 series 7 saal tk denge to fir s24 series ki resell value zada hongi compare to s23 series, or kya s24 with Exynos sach mai long term ke liye hai ya fir s24 ultra hi Lena chahiye long term ke liye???

Which phone would you suggest if my budget is 25k and my needs are a good Video camera with 4k OIS+EIS, Clean Looking and a good enough processor.

Iphones also have a lot of network issues. My 3 year old realme phone works fine without lagging in the network or dropping calls. The heating issues on these flagships are a major concern. Not sure how they are unable to match the basis of the budget phone in a flagship.

Been using pixel 7 since a year and half it was good but when it comes to summer it heats like hell on mobile data and since a month or so I'm not receiving some calls on jio , it can be a sim problem but the network is good in my area so idk what's the problem

I m using pixel 8 and pretty okay with it as long as it covers security with Titan chip; pls make video about it why it's important as more and more people are getting scammed by online fraudsters these days and being victim of that in past had to switch to pixel or apple

@techwiser : S23 FE or Google pixel 7a /8/8a?

Bought Galaxy S23 for 41K with exchange and offers..

Brother, what is the app that is used to show real-time network speed in s23 on this video?

Yep been using the P8 since dec and got the phone near 45k at that time, the phone has been rock solid in almost every department and agree with you it can handle heavy tasks well but can heat up too but the catch here is in my case is it does all those on Mobile Data the performance on WiFi is top notch. Not aware of your network problems as I didn't face any because in some areas where the other devices were not getting 4g connectivity while travelling that too in Delhi, I was on 5g most of the time. One more thing I've been using this device on a beta build itself so my experience is of beta rather than the stable one. Even if someone wants to get this device as low as under 40k they can as Flipkart was giving heavy discounts on the rose gold version of the phone. In case anyone has any other questions or anything I missed you can comment below.

The biggest Con in Pixel which you didn't talked about is there after sales service, for which I will never recommend others to buy pixel . I had this experience with my Pixel 6A

Used samsung for past 8 years,currently using a 3yrs old s20 fe 5g .now thinking of buying either pixel 8 or s23 (256gbs), my requirements camera ,battery, connectivity, casual games like Rc 24 . Which one would be better or else wait for nothing 3

Hi, I need your input in buying: Nothing 2 or Edge 50 Pro. I do not need any fancy gimmicks. I am a balanced user, usually keep my phones for 3+ years, and do not play games on my phone. That said I want a daily driver phone with good reception

where can I buy the google original 30W adapter, it is not available online, everywhere I see there are first copies and modified ones

Could you suggest earphones with better call quality? Despite watching RU-vid reviews, the earphones I've bought keep malfunctioning, even ones under 5000 rupees like Realme Buds Air 3. They constantly stop working, and despite multiple trips to the service center during the warranty period, the issue persists. Now considering spending 20k on Samsung or AirPods Pro, but worried they might also fail after a year, resulting in a significant loss. Can you share your experience with AirPods Pro? Do they last longer? I'm hoping for something that will last at least 3-4 years if I am going to spend 20k.

Bro gave 2nd chance to Pixel 8a even before it released. (I see you changed the title from Pixel 8a to Pixel 8 "A", but explain it to the late comers attacking me with their half cooked brains)

Pixel has severe network issues in Bangladesh. Is it same in Bangladesh?

Can we get a camera comparison of the pixel 8/8 Pro with the Moto edge 50 Pro? Will be interesting to see how much a budget phone can complete with the flagships

I bought it on sale , the front camera flickering issue is still there 😢 it is still in a replacement process... & After seeing this I checked my phone is on Android 14 no option for Android 15 beta 😢😢 what should I do?

I think Pixel 8 is for anyone who is clear in mind that he/she will use the phone for atleast 5 years. Then only you can extract every bit of 50,000 bucks. For everyone else it's still expensive.

4:16 Is this something new? I have had it on my Xperia 5V since Android 14?

waiting for nxt genetation come with tsmc chip rathen samsung currently using pxl 6a and it has same issue as pxl 8 or 8a network related heating bugs etc. only thing i like is the smooth android exp and montly updates

bro make a video on "best tab under 20k" please

6:00 maybe that's why it is heating more than usual. in my area there are not any connectivity issue so it does not get heats that much.

Love you man. You're the reason I'm watching Techwiser. ❤

I have been using pixel 6a for the past 2 years. As everyone knows Pixel is offering a good camera, AI features and early updates. And please note down that pixel will also gives you bugs, connectivity issues, very low performance, heating issues, battery drain, touch sensitivity issues. So at least it's better to avoid buying pixel phones right now.

pixel 10 is what im looking for 3nm processor heat and network issues will be solved till then too(hope so)

Hey techwiser looking for a Bluetooth headphone under 10k and I’m considering the Sony XB910n and the Soundcore Space One, please help me out! As I’ve found the Sonys a lil quieter!!

Bought pixel 8a , but prebook offer of pixel a series offer ? Yet to announce?

Was a Pixel 7 user, loved the phone for it's cameras and UI but due to the constant heating and network issues, had to switch to S23. Will only go back to Pixels once these basics are fixed although i miss Pixel's camera

You're saying "hot" but the thermometer says 35°. That's not hot. That's not even warm. That's an acceptable number. Still not gonna vote for Tensor but say what you show otherwise it's misleading.

I have been using S22 since 8 months, and the 3x zoom camera realy helps. Beforè using that I had been a midrange phone user. After switching to S22, What I really got is a beautiful phone and good camera. when one buys a smartphone camera is the most important factor which decides the price of smartphone. May be Google should start adding a zoom camera to its non-pro models.

location sharing is not a pixel exclusive feature

Bro make a video on best wire and wireless headphone under 2000 rs

Phone is great but . Battery still drain fast and heating issue.

I'd been waiting for this

That google logo in the thumbnail looks so cool, i want it on my pixel now

How is pixel performance while editing raw images in Lightroom & video rendering with RU-vid create?

Somebody said that somebody said they still get ads after buying the yt premium

Which phone should I buy? Budget 30-40k I am currently using OnePlus 6T.. my daily usage is 7-8 applications like instagram, whatsapp, X, Teams, Outlook etc.. I don't play games on phone...i travel a lot so need a phone with good battery life..And i use camera extensively

One knee gaa said I have RU-vid premium

I have a experienced great battery life around 6hrs sot moderate usage , also didnt face any kind of connectivity issue or call drops till date. Yeah one thing i have noticed it does get a bit warm while heavy usage on mobile data under the sun , but still it's way better than S23 for sure

Am looking for best compact phone with Best camera and fast charging

The same archive feature works in my samsung core android 13 phone

I have used a pixel phone for almost a year. But I faced off network issues with almost nothing. But sometimes it feels hot when I am in a cellular network. But I love the pixel so much. I think my next phone is also a pixel phone.

Buying Iqoo 12 5G at current time would be a wise decision or should I wait for any upcoming Android device!! Can u suggest any upcoming Android device!!

iOS had the app offload feature since long. That was one thing I missed when I switched to android

*I do enjoy using Pixel 8 more.* The software, camera and haptic experience is the best tbh. Although, S23+ which I sold did have better gaming performance in my testing and ran a bit cooler. Pixel 8 feels smoother to use and camera's are superior than even S24 in most cases, forget S23. The selfies are better on S23/S24. The Samsung modem on the Pixel 8 is fine although the SD modem on S23+ was indeed superior and had less heating and battery drain. Pixel 8 stays normal and doesn't heat unless you're pushing games like Genshin. I'm not into gaming btw. Lastly, S23/Pixel 8 are too small for a faster thermal cool-down or heat dissipation irrespective of their Socs. I suggest getting S23+ in sales if want to do gaming as well. Iphone 15 will do better than both of them if can wait till BBD sale. Cheers 🥂

I want to buy a programming laptop. My budget is under 70k. Can you guys suggest any laptop for me?

I've been really happy with my Pixel 6a for the past year, except for one minor annoyance - occasional dropped calls.

Well i bought pixel 8 last year December at an astounding price of 41k, obviously after exchanging my OnePlus 8t(cause green line are mandatory in OP).

Pixel should maintain this attitude otherwise Pixel will also become a chhapri's phones like iPhone

Are the network issues still there

I have used Pixel 6a and Pixel 7 for some months. Dont go to reviews ,it actually heats too much. In summer its like hell. Save your money Plz

What about battery?

6:13 Pixel 8 Wallpaper link ?

there is a option in network section called smart 5g turn it off then the switch will off

Comeon Pratik pixel is on beta version, i dont see n/w issue with stable android version

Which one to choose S23 vs Pixel 8

Why is Google not implementing Snapdragon shipset in their devices ??? Because each we complain of same issues but theu don't provide us with solution 😢

can you provide that white hat link i found it cool and great for summers

Video title is a next level mastery 😂😂😂

Reviewers and users express this common Problem related to Network Connectivity... seems like Google/pixel is not listening to the customers.... or the new features substituting this network issue

just bought the pixel 8, upgraded from S21FE(exynos), wanted a small handy phone, with good enough battery life, and some new experience, so something other than Samsung, and didn't find any point in buying an iPhone 15 because of no ecosystem, so got the pixel 8 for 40k with exchange and card discount, been a week, till now battery is very good, camera is very good, software is very good, there is some heating but not much, no lag, full flagship experience. s21FE was giving me just 1-1.5 hours of SOT on full charge :(

I really liked the software experience, the little exclusives that make Pixel standout from the rest of Android. But oh my god is the battery bad. It can hold more than 5-6hr screen time and the slow charging makes this issue even worse. The other problem is that you cant get almost any of the cool Pixel exclusive features if you arent in US . But like I said I fell in love with the stock android experience for the Pixel. But sadly it needs a more powerful and efficient chip which will only probably happen in Pixel 10 after they switch to Snapdragon

Always love your vedio bro❤

I bought 256gb unlocked from US and m Happy with it... Bought it below 50k

With the release of 8a , pixel 8 now back to 76K

Good correction from 8a to 8 "A"👍

You should have compared with s24 or iPhone 15

I like the back light

Battery issue, after Factory Reset unable to use Gemini AI assistant.

Why not compare it with s24
