Pixel 8 Pro Long Term Review: After The Hype! (2,000 Photos Later...)

The Pixel 8 Pro is a phone that has seen a lot of downsides in its early days. But after all the hype has died down, my experience has been the best that it's ever been.

Loveeee the pacing of this video. Very well done

I love my p8p. Once you take a photo and it inishes (Processing) the pics are insane.

I have been using Google Pixel 8 pro for more or less four months. The things that I hate about this phone are the overheating issues and the extremely slow charging, but altogether it's a great phone. I have never seen any lag, it has always been fast and smooth, and its display and photographic compartment are top. I am aware that it can't be compared to phones like Samsung s24 ultra or Iphone 15 pro max, but we should also consider that it is cheaper: at this moment, on Amazon it costs 699 euros! There is no way that Samsung s24 ultra and especially Iphone 15 pro max will have this price, surely not in the next future.
I don't think my next phone will be a Pixel, but in the last two years I lost track of how many phones I had, and if there is something that I learned is that perfection doesn't exist, there will always be something we'll complain about.

Good video, but a few corrections:
* Though Samsung first announced Circle to Search, it was released on the Pixel on the same day, namely on January 31 (the release date of the Samsung S24).
* The Pixel 8 Pro charges in 1 hour and 36 mins, so not over 2 hours (if you have the 30W charger that you talk about).
Also, you say facial-recognition works better on the iPhone and the fingerprint sensor is faster on the S24U. Fair, but you should also mention that the Pixel 8 Pro achieves secure face unlock with a WAY smaller cutout than the iPhone and also offers an alternative with the fingerprint sensor. E.g. on the iPhone you have to pick up your phone from your desk to unlock it, on the Pixel you can just put your finger on it. Now, the S24U also has secure face unlock. I'm glad to hear that the Pixel 9 Pro (coming in a few weeks) will also have a ultrasonic fingerprint sensor .

Pixel 8 Pro owner here. circle 2 search was available since launch of the phone, also face id is not useable when it gets a bit darker compaired to iphone where it works in complete darkness. also the phone gets extremly hot by very light useages to thr point i cant hold it anymore in my hand. i never game on the 8pro because of that reason. also there are alot of features that are region related. you can use some features in the US you cant do in Europe for example. Also when i record a video and move the camera not very slowly there are very weird ghosting frames i dont know how to explaine it looks as if there are some frames wobbeling around or missing

good video presentation and review! at 1:58, i recommend after you're finished editing your video, normalizing or compressing the entire final audio so that any added sound effects don't stand out as noticably louder than your voice. you should notice any loud spikes in the audio level out when you do this.

Nice video bro!
Btw im still using Google Pixel XL o_0

[ManuelFresh]

My S24 has way more bugs when first purchased than my Pixel 7 pro ever did🤔

I definitely miss the camera in my 7pro too

[BiblicalPerspective]

I like your phases and I feel like you can look broadly at the entire Google phone experience starting with the Nexus up to the recent Pixel 9 announcement and put these phases along a timeline

I'm enjoying my Pixel 8 Pro and luckily didn't have major issues. It's better than my Pixel 6 for heating issues. I even filmed an entire Air show in near 100F weather albeit in super battery saver mode to compensate for the temps and duration. Gaming is fun and dunno why I've had good luck so far including mostly with my Pixel 6, except for filming in 4k where it got hot after a bit, I'm lucky and recognize that's validity to your statements on the phone. 🍻 great video!

My fingerprint sensor has been flawless on the P8P, coming from a samsung z fold 5. I do also use facial recognition on the P8P since it has the same security certificate as the iPhone face id, for payment and other login stuff. The facial recognition on the P8P usually beats my fingerprint unlock anyway. This was something I missed on the newer Samsung devices since the facial recognition does not have the same security certification.

I bought the google pixel 8 pro about a month ago. I had the same problems with games and even Brawl stars had frame drops . However now everything is fixed and smooth

[BattleRapMultiverse]

Over 2 I have an official google charger 30W, which is what it supports. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes from 0-100, from 25% (which is usually when i plug it in), about 50 minutes.

[MiyagiDo]

dude great content, nice speaking, good video quality over all, keep going!

[ei..]

My biggest issue with the camera is the edge distortion. Theres soooo much of it on the main camera. At least on the minimum focal distance

[_TheStealth]

Lets not forget the Apple iPhone overheating issue at launch.

I knew I liked you bro, a fellow Cowboys fan! Let’s hope we have a better year this season! Ha ha
