wtf. 5 months is halfway through a phones lifespan? It does not make any sense. Tech youtubers should think about what they say.

[mattward]

The idea that we should all be upgrading our phones every year is pretty stupid and disgusting really. No one is forcing you to do that.

[antronbadger]

I wouldn't say halfway through it's lifespan. Halfway being googles latest and greatest. Lifespan is when the manufacture stops supporting the device

[psydex]

Half way through it's lifespan? Bro, it comes with 7 frickin years of updates. 7!

My 8 Pro was a little buggy when I first bought it about 6 weeks ago, but it's excellent now, possibly due to recent updates. The battery has also improved from being average to very good during the last two or three weeks.

Looking forward to Pixel 9pro small version. We all know that Tensor is worrisome in terms of staying at pace with Qualcomm, but in reality, for all the things you ask it to do, it works just fine. I love the Pixel hardware and software

[jerrymartinez]

My Pixel 7 has been nothing but great and the recent update just gave my battery life a new breathe, sharpness and stability at 5x zoom pictures are highly improved, skipped out on the 8 series but definitely looking to get my first Pro version when the 9 series comes out if the leaks are true in screen size

[nickbromhall]

I'd never go back to an iPhone as a main daily driver after switching to Pixels. My Pixel 7 Pro still has 100% battery strength after 18 months and the main camera is superb.

Thanks for this amazing review, but what about hotspot issues !

[albertcervantes]

I got my pixel8 pro 256 gb on a deal 3 weeks ago. It was 806$ deal and plus 400$ for trade in so basically I got it for 400$ so it is totally worth it

[andredegelder]

Got my 7 pro almost 1, 5 year now. Never had any issues like heat, lag. Battery got alot better.
I buy pixel for the clean Android and foto's, no gaming Last november I even left my camera home on my trip through VN, Laos and Cambodia! Didn't miss my Sony systemcamera.I skip the 8 pro, a new phone every year is a bit too much. But considering the 9 pro, but only if Google makes a smaller pro model as rumoured. Thats my only issue with the 7pro....a little too big for my likes. Thx for sharing your thoughts . Greetz from Holland.

I was just asking myself this very question and like magic, up pops your video 👍

[frankiechan]

Just got one. Local Carrier had $AUD500 off the price on the 128M and 256M versions whether outright or on a 3 year contract.
Very hard to pass up considering 7 years of software support, and my 4a 5G had gone past it's last security update.

Can't hear anything background music is so intrusive.

[alexanderv]

Kill the background noise, some called it music. It’s super distracting.

[callmeseags]

I've had the pixel 2 XL, Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 7 Pro, and now Pixel 8 Pro. Google does phones best, I'm glad they are working hard to improve year over year. Pixel 8 series feels like the series 2 pixel devices. I think the pixels have their market now and they will only continue to get better. The CPU is holding the phone back the most. Once they fix that this phone will take market share from all competitors

[Webzterr]

I put a clear vinyl skin on the visor. No scratches. Cheap fix...

[mharro]

I love it . Prefer it over the s24u. Camera is incredible

[stephenp.harris]

I know you're using your Pixel naked without a case or screen protector but I bought the White Stone Dome liquid dispersion screen protector & it's hands down the best screen protector cuz it goes evenly down the curved edges on the sides, which protects it better & covers more screen area more than any other protector. Plus, the cool thing about purchasing White Stone Dome is that it comes with a clear protector with perfect cutouts that lays across on the camera visor. It can barely be seen & does not take away from the beauty of the gold visor (mine is olive phone color). The result? I've had absolutely no scratches or scuffs on my visor 👌🏼
