Very impressed with the Pixels this year. I was going to keep the fold but I’m keeping the 8 Pro for now!

[NOLATechy]

For the people claiming that Google will not keep the 7 year update promise, you have to consider that this could easily land them into a major class-action lawsuit if they renage, especially since they made a public statement to the affect. I doubt very seriously that Google will cancel this promise.

I took a call on my Pixel 8 Pro in the pub the other night, my mate said it was blocking out the background noise of the other drunks and music.
I know telephone calls are a bit old school but that’s impressive!

One comment point that’s stands out is iOS forgetting what media you were previously listening to, very annoying. I frequently switch from iOS and android and notice this every time. You’re one of the only videos I’ve seen highlighting this!

[ethanosterhout]

I love my Pixel 8, its been nothing short of incredible!

There's only so many times you can title your videos "lifelong iPhone user switches to x" when you're on your 10th android phone of milking this title

Bought the Pixel 8 Pro, received a huge discount of $400 off by being a Google Fi member. First time I've ever bought a phone brand new like this, couldn't pass up that discount.

I'm so happy to hearing you in this review! I love pixel devices and I'm very excited seeing people switching to Pixel phones from iPhones.

It's so funny when people call themselves fanboys :) I'm all over the place. I have a macbook and airpods but I'm jumping between Samsung, Pixels and iPhones and enjoy all of them for what they are. Must say that Android as an OS appeals me the most though when it comes to phones.

[SirBranDon]

Been using the pixel phones since the 4 and haven't gotten board of them yet. I've almost bought the newer iPhones a number of times because I really like the designs. But its something about ios that rubs me the wrong way.

[BerniMacJr]

I'd love to see a review of the hardware ecosystem. How the Pixel Buds Pro hold up against the competition and integrate with Pixel Phones as well as the Pixel Watch.

[undertheraedar]

as someone whose also been a longtime apple user, I’m heavily considering upgrading to the Google 8 pro pixel ; the selling point for me is the camera ! I love taking pictures and making scrapbooks, based off the camera alone would it be worth it ?

Ello Pete, i stumbled across your channel by accident! Ive just switched from a 13 pro to Pixel 8 pro and was just looking for videos on pixel 8 pro and found you! Love this video buddy, great informative content - love your work! How about a tips n tricks video next ;-) Best wishes from Liverpool my man!

[phillipperez]

This is pretty cool. I've been using only pixel devices for years. But the throttling, poor battery life, and overheating issues have been tough to deal with. Im hoping the P8 is better. If its similar to the 7, then I'll finally consider iOS. Especially the regular iphone 15. It looks beautiful in black

Casetify only protects your camera bar, 1mm above level. Almost flushed. So just be careful if you drop on concrete, a running track or anywhere but a flat surface.

9:50 setting two fingerprints for the same finger actually does make it much faster and responsive

I love my P8P. It's fun, useful and shiny! Great review!

[Red_Snappa]

The only reason I haven't bought the Pixel 8 is bc it's missing features that I want, that only the Pro has...but I don't want to carry a massive slab about in my pocket! Why do phone manufacturers insist on having a 'Pro' model - other than to justify the higher price difference! Why not have the same spec on both, unless it's actual SIZE that prevents it having *_all_* of the features on both - and set the price in the middle (£850) and have a Pixel 8 Compact & a Pixel 8 Max, then everyone's happy!

It's smooth as an eel, should have been a rubber handle, impossible to hold without it slipping off your fingers.
