I just got my first ever pixel yesterday and after watching your video I feel much more confident in using it. Really informative, Thank you.

Man this video came in handy. Best Pixel 8 Pro video from all of the videos I've seen. This has been the most useful. Thanks!

[seant]

As a Pixel 3 user upgrading to the Pixel 8 Pro this video was extremely helpful to get to know a lot of the features that I never had access to or just didn't know about. Thanks! I'm probably using about half of them already.

[adrianvarnedoe]

Just got my phone and was so glad I found your page. It helped me so much to make the phone work better for me.

[ELBARTOmovies]

Great Video, thank you! I'm happy to have this handy flashlight settings. The lockscreen button or the quick-tap Option is great

[Cj-nunx]

Great Video! This is my first experience to Pixel with a 8Pro.

Coming from a 5year old Oppo Reno i am loving the discovery of this device. Thanks again!

What gear you are a legend. I've just got a pixel 8 pro and I have had a few pixel phones in the past and didn't even know about half of the tips and tricks you've shown in this video. I've just subbed to your channel too. Thank you again

THE LINK SHARE THING IS SO GOOD. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. OH MY GOD. Its one of the only things i didn't know and its byfar the most useful

[pxyvthc]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You sped up my learning curve on how to set up my newly acquired Pixel 8 Pro. I am looking forward to your video on the camera capability tips and tricks.

This has been SO helpful. I have been an iPhone user for over a decade and have now moved to the Pixel 8 Pro. This has helped me get to grips with how to get best use out of a brand new device and OS. I have certainly hit the subscribe button as I am now keen to delve further into what this beast of a phone can do. Thank you WhatGear!

[ruipedro]

I absolutely loved this video! Extremely helpful indeed thank you

[roisinsloan]

This is my first Google Pixel phone and this video was excellent and the first one I have watched. Thankyou.

[lardi_g]

Thanks for those tips and tricks there were a few I didn't know. Well done Video! 👍👍👍

[Beejrich]

There's an accessibility setting to also activate Google Assistant by swiping from the bottom left or right corner! I thought I lost that feature by switching from my s22 ultra and was thrilled to find it!

[philippemongrolle]

Great video, I literally joined your channel after the first tip, that I didn't see anywhere else 👍

[slim_productions]

Hi watching from North east England....New to your channel, subbed mate, as this is the best most indepth video on the features and tips for the pixel 8! I've saved to watch later as I'm picking up this phone tomorrow and will watch on depth for the hours and hours of messing around with my new phone!
Great video mate 👊👌

Just bought this phone 3 days ago and I'm loving it! Best phones I've ever owned hands down.
