I played with the phone at the store and that display is unreal. Imo it's the best I've ever seen

[aliettienne]

I trust your assessment on this matter your integrity is appreciated. You've always made some on point assessment on tech products. Google Pixel have come a long way it is a phone that is featured pack with very smart software. The charging speed is fast enough but it definitely can be faster, faster will be desirable. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

If only the frame and visor were also matte

Got the 8 Pro Bay Color
Rocking it with clear skin and man it feels so nice in the hand.

much more helpful than any other video i can find their they keep reviewing cases by the same 3 companies

Excellent review Shane. You hit on all the important aspects. The one I don't really care about is the gaming as I don't play games on my phone. I would have given the software a 10 out of 10

[Markus]

My first time watching any of your videos. Well done. I agree with most of your review. I'm a bit of a crazy person when it comes to tech. I generally buy 2 phones every year. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is on my personal line and I run Android on my work line. I have watches for both. Both an iPad Pro and a Xiaomi tablet. Multiple sets of buds and over ear headphones. I also have the Xreal Air AR glasses. I have issues... The wife wants to kill me lol

Gunna have to ask that you not play two princes as a sound test. Now that will be in my head for eternity.

Dxo mark gave the 8 pro its top marks over all phone displays. Dxo isnt god but but it deserves a mention.

I have an S23+ and the 8 Pro. The Samsung is noticeably faster, smoother, runs slightly cooler, has better battery life and a bit better cellular signal. With that being said... I ordered the 8 Pro on a trade in for the S23+ and I most likely will complete that trade and send in the Samsung. I'll make my decision by Friday.

Google's software has always been my main reason for getting the Pixel. Specifically the Android UX and AI (features and Assistant). I'm really happy to see that the Pixel 8 build is coming to its own level of maturity. I think the 8 series is a great milestone for #MadeByGoogle and #TeamPixel.

I wish I could give you another upvote for Spin Doctors!

I understand that many reviewers see the temperature sensor as a gimmick, but there are useful scenarios for it if the sensor is good. I love to cook a lot, so knowing the approximate temperature of my frying oil or meat, or if I’m coming down with something, or the temperature of coffee for pour over, etc., would be great, provided this sensor is usable. So I wish reviewers would give this a chance and see first if the sensor is in the ballpark for checking said temperatures rather than dismissing it right off the bat. Great videos though. I doubt the sensor is accurate and if that’s the case, then I agree that it’s useless and a gimmick.

[Randomness]

When they say peak brightness is 2400 nits, they are definitely referring to when you miss the fingerprint scanner and don't cover it completely

[Markus]

I do wish the display was slightly more saturated. Also, it not being a10 bit panel is somewhat criminal.

I am really happy with the pixel 8 pro, it's a beautiful phone, no bugs, what has improved over pixel 7 pro, ? The display screen is a lot brighter, the video is better too, the photo can't tell a difference., it feels better in hands, I give the phone 9 / 10

[Michael-olsc]

What is the screen protector that you are using for the 8 Pro?

[baltimore]

I think that a lot of people in this tech space judge their phones off of gaming performance but me personally I play games on my tablet. So having a Snapdragon tablet is perfect because of the screen size of my tablet. Even a folding phone I could not play games on full-fledged game. The only type of games that I put on my phone are thumb games. Games that you can play with one thumb.

[XaiXago]

After some back and forth, I decided not to buy the smartphone for the time being. Meanwhile, more and more test results come in, which supported me in my opinion. One of the issues is clearly the still not really equivalent battery life and then I'm also kind of annoyed that the sensor hasn't gotten bigger (as mentiond in some rumors). The price-performance ratio does not fit somehow, considering that a lot is only possible via the cloud and some features are not really mature yet. My current phone is still holding out, so I'll see in a few months how the prices and the software have developed by then. Maybe it will then also the S24 Ultra, we'll see.

I think Google pixel 8 pro is more slowly than the Xiaomi 13 i have both and in simply things is more slowly
