In the face unlock settings, you can enable "lift to wake" and "skip lock screen". That way you don't have to tap to wake and swipe up. Makes it a more seamless experience using face unlock.

I was DEEP in the apple ecosystem, found it hard to get out of it when switching to Android. Then bought the P8P, decided to go cold turkey and sell every apple product i have except the TV and i havent missed it as much as I thought other than when I need the apple TV virtual remote when i cant find the physical one.

LOVE the pixel asthetic, layout and google assistant. My work is heavily tied into google too and i often need to use my work MacBook so the fact google doesn't have a walled garden makes it a clearer choice imo. Very glad i made the switch

Such a great phone, I am in the same boat. I own both of these phones and I use 90% of the AI features with the other 10% being the photo AI features. I would rather embrace the imperfect moments rather than manipulate them

I wish you wouldve talked about thr battery. Its a key factor for a lot of people and yo know how it actually holds up wojldve been helpful. Overall decent video

I switched to the pixel after using iPhones for 12 years. I always used a Mac, loved when they introduced that calls could be transferred to my Mac. I have an iPad and and apple watch too. But, I got bored. The iPhone felt so monotonous to me at one point. So, I started using my iPhone 11 Pro with a new Pixel 6. I stopped using my iPhone after a few months, then. So I used a pixel 7 now, and planning to upgrade to 8. Honestly. it’s better than the iPhone in a lot of ways. I love that calls don’t show up on my Mac and on my watch. I continue to use the iPad, the Mac, the watch and the phone as separate devices. I feel that I feel mentally less cluttered than I did when I was using all the devices in sync. A closed platform is a problem only if you let it be. Yea, it’s hard to get uber notifications on Apple Watch, but man the plain watches are so much more cooler. Reading on iPad is good when you don’t get constant messages, calls from your phone there. Using your laptop is good when your phone is really away.

That’s my experience. As I said again, I am planning to switch to a pixel 8, not an iPhone. Oh yea, saved money helps, too :)

I've had the 8 pro for about a month now and it's the best phone I've ever used. Its so damn smart and works the way I want a phone to work. Some of the photo features are out of this world.

Magic eraser is by far the most useful for me, no longer do I need to wait for people in background to clear, i can just remove them after

You can bypass the lock screen for Face Unlock. In the Face Unlock settings just toggle on Skip Lock Screen. As for photos and videos, both received very similar DXOMark scores, separated by only one point.

My two biggest gripes is they need to upgrade to a ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and the battery is a bit underwhelming. Other than that, it's been a terrific phone.

The photo unblur feature is extremely impressive. It even works on imported photos that were taken with other phone brand.

A 30 Day comparison with the Pixel 8 would be very interesting. Especially battery wise

[dustygrannis]

The eco system of Apple is by design to just keep you in Apple. Nothing Apple is doing is innovative. I love all the new features that Google provides. I wish everyone in the US would just get on WhatsApp and be done with this green bubble/blue bubble BS.

Impressive, excellent review. I felt you had an open mind about both devices.

I have Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro. I think the Pixel 8 Pro the best phone on the market. Don't care about benchmarks, the Pixel is smooth as iPhone in every day use. With Apple supporting RCS soon, there's no reason to buy an iPhone.

I'm actually currently on a Pixel 3 and I'm considering upgrading to Pixel 8 Pro. I feel like Google finally nailed this one. Especially on the RAM side of things. 12GB . I also love the video features like Action Pan. And a really big one is the promised 7yrs of OS upgrade. Hopefully they deliver on that

[BigJeffroeX]

I'm going on a little over a month with my pixel and the AI feature I use most is best take and read article.thanks for the video I really enjoy your content keep up the great work

I like your style of reviewing things with a battery. Haha. I subscribed! 😉

There is a setting that unlocks the phone completly just by looking at it, so you do not need to swipe.

I loved this phone so much. I was ready to switch from iPhone to the 8Pro but after two weeks I had to return it because of massiv overheating. But maybe I will buy it around new year and go for it again. It is one of the best phones I have ever used.

Call screening is the biggest one for me and it catches spam calls silemtly in the background. I have been using my pixel 6 pro for the last 2 years.
