Pixel 8 Review: 4 Months Later! (Battery & Camera Test) 

How do you define value in a smartphone? 🤔

I am very happy with my Pixel 8. Got mine here in the Philippines for just around $540 brand new Japan version. Not bothered with that camera sounds.. so it is a great value!

Whats the transparent To do list app that you have on your home screen? Looks dope

Great Review as always to the point. Where can we find the home screen wallpaper

Hey Naseem, thanks for your great content, as usual and that you follow up with long term reviews👌🏼 As to value, depends as you already mentioned and differs to everyone's taste/situation. For me it's not worth the 300€ price gap, still rocking the P6a. What's your take on Gemini Nano not being available to the pixel 8? And what that may indicate for future software releases for the P8 or lack there of. Thanks again and all the best

How long did AliExpress take to ship to Nigeria and did you encounter any issues while shipping. Please I'll love a reply

Agree with nearly every point you stated here with just a couple things that need to be mentioned! First, you neglected to add one kind of important feature in the Pixel 8 Pro which is not included in the standard Pixel 8, which are a few "extra" camera enhancements plus a telephoto lens (both are features I personally don't utilize and probably most others don't) - again, not worth an extra $300.00 in my opinion. Regarding the Tensor 3 chip, it's a great chip for what Google intended it to be. Pixel phones were not meant to be gaming devices and those who purchase them don't prioritize gaming! The other is Google's decision to not provide the Pixel 8 with the new Gemini Nano (the new AI model for on-device tasks), a decision Google claims is due to the standard Pixel 8's hardware 'limitations', which I believe is totally bogus! All of us Pixel 8 owners are hoping that Google will reverse that decision and provide the Pixel 8 with Gemini Nano. If not, that would be a terrible travesty because the Pixel 8 is one excellent device in nearly every aspect!!

I my country " kenya "pixel users complain about network issues is it the same in the us

Being honest whenever im looking at what i want in a phone its mainly software support & cameras and great freaking haptics. I am a haptic snob. I don't know why it's just who I am.

hey naseem so i just got the pixel 8 3 days ago and i'm noticing hey google is not working i thought i was doin something wrong, but i'm not it's not working even on my s24 ultra anybody is havin the same issue here ??

Gonna admit I settled for my Pixel 8. While I'm loving it so far I've been searching for a white whale device for some time, and I end up getting a new phone within a few months. So since the Pixel 8 is getting 7 years of updates and (Supposedly) easier to repair than others, I went with the 256 GB model. I do miss the SD card slot that Android used to have, but I can get past that with my Tab S9 and maybe another gaming device from Anbernic. (They make some badass metal android powered handhelds) Since it was on a sale I grabbed mine for $540 and it's been nice.

In my opinion I feel the same way but everyone keeps telling me because the pixel 8's not getting some new Gemini AI feature. They call it a dud now but I don't think so but hopefully Google reverses their decision so they're smaller. Phone gets it as well

Don't see the point in this phone especially since Google is gimping it by denying features the Pro will get. The Galaxy S series is a better buy this year.

I ordered it on discount in the UK for $460...looking forward to trying it

Just so everybody knows, these phones ARE on sale now. Not sure for how long. 8 Pro the lowest is 749, the 8 is at 559 although I saw some places 499.

Link the wallpaper bro

So far I have enjoyed the pixel 8 coming from a OP6T smaller phone but it's ok

I think I'mma go with the 8 Pro. It's a device that I'm gonna use 2-4 hours every day probably for 2-3 years. So I might as well just get the bigger, brighter display with better battery life and the slightly better camera. And I mean, the $260 difference isn't that big.

May I ask what game is that at 6:37?

I bought an S24+ last week and got a Pixel 8 Pro on Swappa. I thought the P8P would win by a lot because the camera was so much better, but I'm finding the more that I hold both cameras and take the exact same pictures, the Galaxy phone is VERY close to it, and offers much better video, customization, a monster chip, and better battery. I may be converted. Love your content, Naseem. I'm starting to look forward to your videos more than anyone on YT!

The 8 Pro display looks amazing. It's just too damn big. That smaller Pixel 9 Pro is going to be fire.

"Bigger display, bigger battery, better material on the back" Bro you forgot the telephoto camera

I love my Pixel 8. I did nintendo switch emulation, and that was meh-average.

The pixel 8 gets VERY hot VERY fast…just watching RU-vid already makes it hot to hold

The battery of the Google pixel 8 phone is very weak compared to the battery of the Sony company. Google is probably trying to eliminate from the software, users who deal with gaming. The google phone is for business people and not for those who do not work but received this device as a Pixel gift from somewhere. In general, a phone given as a gift is like a gun given to a person without a gun permit. Any company must understand this matter and stop contracts with companies that offer phones to people who cannot afford them either financially or psychologically.

Hey thank you for reviewing the Pixel 8 and week or so ago I would agreed with you but after Google has let the cat have the bag and a matter of speaking that the regular pixel 8 won't be getting nano Gemini or maybe it's the other where other way Gemini nano I'm not sure because of hardware limitations it speaks to the pixelate being nerfed 5 months after it came out and so what's it going to be like in a year. I really like the pixel 8 but I buy pixels for the software not for the hardware because the Galaxy s23 and the Galaxy s24 are much better phones and every way processor modem connectivity bill quality everything The pixel probably might beat him on camera but then again it only has two and the s23 and the s24 also have a telephoto lens so I'm not sure about that anyway I won't be buying any regular Pixel phones anymore as Google has made it clear they're going to restrict some core IA features from the regular phone.

I believe the One plus 12 have better haptics

Is already dead…no Gemini and 7 years „updates“? 😂

This phone should be sold for 99$ and google should kiss you one the foot for buying this trash

Get rid of the mustache

"better value" getting killed by google less than 6months😂..... no Gemini nano

Does the pixel 8 have pro mode on camera like the pixel 8 pro?
