Pixel 8 Pro Long Term Review - Finally BETTER Than S24 Ultra?! 

I think people avoid pixel due to the rebranded exynos chipset, and i cannot blame them. Ive heard many complaints about overheating, poor reception and bad battery life.

I disagree with almost everything you say respectfully I don't think other users have your point of view. I have an s23 ultra and I have the pixel 8 pro and the camera is totally amazing on the Pixel 8 pro noticeably different than the s23 ultra. I also don't have any of the stutter that you speak of it's smooth as butter. Maybe you have an app that you install that's slowing it down

The Tensor performance problems stems from the processes used at Samsung's Foundary. Even Samsung Exynos chips have these same issues. Samsung should just pause the chip thing to work out the issues and go harder on the memory side.

My man with another banger. Damn! Your good at it. The video quality is crisp. The Pixel 8 Pro is an amazing smartphone. If I wasn't a Samsung fan, I'd be stuck with Pixels. Will still buy one and use both when I blow. 😅 Keep up the good work brother. This fellow Nigerian is a huge fan.

I've had my pixel 8 pro since launch date and will be getting the 9 pro or 9 XL when it comes out

Ive had the phone for two weeks and can honestly say i feel no discernable difference from s23 ultra . Everything i did on mys23 ultra i do on my p8p. Amazing device. Fingerprint sensor requires you to hold down for a millisecond longer than galaxy and you get throgh on first press every time. Im not going go complain about a millisecond. Battery life FOR me is exceptional. I unplug before i leave my house and i dont worry about battery . Haptics, amazing . Screen amazing . I get what google is doing snd i enjoy

Great video! If you go in the settings, developer setting, you can force the 120hz at all times and then everything seems to run at 120. It does have some caveats, for example the Reddit loading animation logo "bounces" twice as fast and it's funny to see haha. That's the light ring @2:46? Is that some kind of notification light? Thanks!

If the performance is bad now that's new, I wonder how bad it would be after 7 years of updates

I couldn't believe you were shooting a video from Hamilton. Loved that overlook shot of downtown and hwy 403. Is it a public lookout. I'm relatively new to the city, and would love to check it out if it is. Thanks for the great review.

8:40 "But with the Pixel you hear that constantly." Because it's people's subjective opinion, especially RU-vidrs, and Techies. There is a clear difference between the 8 and the Pro 8 that everyone can see and experience. I don't hear the regular man on the street with such an opinion. They just buy what is popular or what they like, prefer, and are accustomed to. They also buy what they can afford at the time. 8:55 "A bigger screen, a bigger battery, and an extra camera isn't enough of a difference to justify the 8 pro price tag of a thousand dollars" Why? That is an opinion! Their competitors have the same identical setup between their phones. Why is it justifiable or perceived justification for them to have a huge price difference between their standard and pro/ultra phones? How much is the price difference between the iPhone 15 and its Pro max counterpart? How much is the price difference between S24 and its Ultra counterpart? Both models of the Pixel 8 are cheaper than their competitors in the U.S. and the price difference between their models.

Great video. What's the wallpaper you're using @ 1:50?

Amazing video mate. I hope your channel grows even larger. I watched your video and decided to get the pixel.

Personally, I love my Pixel 8 Pro. Easily the smoothest and cleanest smartphone I have ever owned. The design is also top tier for me 👍🏻 I rarely do anything intensive on my phone like gaming or video processing, so I don't notice any performance differences with other flagships. However, given the price tag, I do agree that they should at least set a standard with the performance for those that want to get every bit of their dollar's worth. Hopefully with Pixel 9, they resolve this.

I currently have the Google pixel 6 pro, and I've had bug issues on it for a while. Examples like calls won't go through, dropped calls, can't receive calls sometimes, app crashes, mobile data not working all the time, app crashes, etc. I even heard that the Pixel 8 same as the 6 with Android 14 software still has bug issues. I been thinking about buying a new phone, and I been looking at the S24 Ultra, but I would like to get your opinion KJ

Hello I would like to know how I could have your wallpaper with the orange sofa and the little plant I like it very much I would like to put it on my pixel 7a?

The video you used to demonstrate video boost is not the best representation of the feature. Try a night time video and you will see that the difference is day and night

Great vid.....keep it up!👍

is it better than the s23 ultra right now if both cost the same

I wanted to switch from my iPhone 14 Pro to the Google pixel 8 last week (same size) it was about $725 CAD after taxes but I couldn’t pull the trigger, I kept reading reviews about how shitty the phone is and wouldn’t be a good long term phone. I used the google 7 pro few years ago but switched to the iPhone 14 Pro.

Amazing Video!!! Subscribed!!! is there anyway i can get that red sofa living room wallpaper?

Please, do not use term "shutter lag" with Pixel 8 Pro. Together with iPhone, this is the only smartphone on the market where you can rely on proper shutter. Does it take slower pictures? Yes, but the outcome is great. And when you combine it with Best Take, it is perfect. I still use S24U, but Pixel 8 Pro is still a great phone.

Hi is 8pro in £600 worth buying or wait for new model ????

Could you share the 2 wallpapers from 0:20 and 0:22?

Please include the Sony 1 V1 in a presentation

Great video! The problem with Pixels is the updates causing catastrophic issues. In addition to certain things like overheating, poor battery life and standby time. Then each year they raise their prices. Should've stuck with undercutting Samsung and Apple. I love the 8 series from a hardware design but it's the glitches and bugs that come with software updates that ruin the experience for me.

Shutter lag? Have you ever used a samsung phone? 😭 I had terrible stutter lag on my s23+ meanwhile my buddy with his 7a used to get perfect freeze frame everytime.

Rich in colours (dci p3) is enabled or not??

I disagree with some of your points in your review here. The camera on the Pixel is still way better compared to the iPhone 15 pro and S24u and my friends with iPhones prefer to use my pixel 8p to take pictures. The only thing the pixel is still bad at is taking videos. You don't need 120hz while using Facebook or Twitter 🙄 processor needs to be better but the pixel is still buttery smooth and fast while using it. I'm a former Samsung S series user and there are differences between the regular and ultra S phones.

Does the Samsung galaxy s24+ have the framerate stutter issue too?

Parabéns pelo belo trabalho amigo, comprei um pixel 8 depois de suas análises, aqui no Brasil é difícil pelo preço e importação. Saudações do brazil 😊

Is video boost ONLY for video taken ON the 8 pro, or can I 'boost' old video on the 8 pro?

Do you think the Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9 series will bring improvements regarding battery life?

Yea, might need to get a Samsung after updates end for my 6a, if I can make it. Android auto+cam call+5g= overheating issues n lag.

THEY CAME OUT THE SAME TIME HOW CAN IT IMPROVE THROUGH SOFTWARE UPDATES TO BETTER?

Great review

hesitates between the 8 and the 8 pro. The price of the 8 pro becomes affordable. Need advice ?

If they had sticked to Qualcomm with their clean software they would have been the best handest money can buy The competition is still ahead of pixel in terms of performance because of tensor soc bummer 😞

In India Pixel 8 is $600 and S23 is $500 approx. Would S23 be a better option for me?

Hi, I have the regular s23. Would the Pixel 8 pro be a noticeable upgrade? I can get the Pixel 8 pro for a very good price. Thank you very much for the video.

6:48 wallpaper please, looks great

at this point I def wouldn't spend more than $500 on a pixel period. I would like the big screen but I'm not paying $1000 just for a bigger screen that's wild. I'll prob just end up leaving pixel and grabbing a bigger screen and battery for $400

if Google ever gave the construction of its processors to tsmc or Qualcomm, it would be the most perfect phone in the world, I think it would make the shade to Samsung and other big leaders in the market.

From the word pixel itself surely it has a better camera compared to others

This will be my last pixel device till google contracts TSMC for its chipset.

Enjoy your reviews. Almost went with 8 pro, wanted a change from Samsung. Ended up going with the OnePlus 12.

Link to your wallpaper

Hi. May i ask about the video boost on google Phone? Is it the same with the HDR10+ on the S24 series? Right?

#TeamPixel #GooglePixel9

I love my pixel 8 pro but the performance isnt good enough for me compared to my 14 pro max. I will be switching to samsung s24 ultra.

Worst phone ever too many software issues my phone was freezing since March and google still have not fix it as yet I got one month of good service from a 1000 dollard phone ridiculous

I dont no what i was thinking listening to these novice reviews

Why do you still call it twitter though? X sounds much nicer.
