The Pixel 8 Pro has a BIG problem.

Google's Pixel series has a big problem that it needs to address soon as other smartphone makers have their answers to Google's best features. The Pixel 8 Pro 6 months later is a harder sell than ever before. Here's why.

What is the "BIG problem" with the Pixel 8 Pro? I certainly did not hear one in this video.

There's a Big problem with this video.

sacrificing the Snapdragon was the most stupid move that Google made.

Google needs to bring the US only features like Call Screening to the rest of Google Pixel markets in the world! That's really what's missing if they want to stand out.

The fact that Samsung and Oneplus have "caught up" is a good thing in the phone space. It means that there is more competition which is always better for the consumer. The only issue I see with the pixel line is that Google has a bit of an issue with how to spread out the features as the hardware is not so much the focus compared to the snapdragon. The pixel 9 will be an iterative upgrade from the 8 and I think that people are over-hyping the little that is to come. Personally I have been waiting on the 9 as currently I'm on a 6 Pro with a custom rom and still pretty happy with it but ready for something new.

Tensor is just a rebranded Exynos chip, so until TSMC starts making the tensor chip (Pixel 10) tensor will be underpowered.

Google absolutely made the right decision, especially with TSMC on board with the 10 series.

Google is still ahead of every phone manufacturers in terms of AI, Samsung does have some appealing features on paper but their live translate is a downgrade compared to Pixel's. Also the 7 years of upgrade promise, Outside US Samsung doesn't give you monthly updates on time like Google does. While Oneplus:s 4 years of update promise is good, it is not an impressive feat compared to 7 years from Google (If they keep their promise). Google has always been a software company and comparing it's hardware to companies that have been building phones for decades felt a little unfair, yet they're catching up. All I'm trying to say is Google still offers one of the best and easy to use software experiences while still being hundreds of dollars cheaper than the flagship offering from Apple and Samsung.

Ive had my p8p since launch date and will be keeping it for a cool minute its great and does everything i need it to do .

Pixel or die for me. ive own every pixel and most of the nexus phones, and will continue to do so each year forward.

I'll be staying with the Pixel series vs Samsung for the foreseeable future.
1) Samsung adding duplicates of Android/Google features on top of the existing software is just a waste of space and performance.
2) Samsung's "UI" is complete crap.
3) Any real performance difference doesn't make much difference in day to day usage. All high end phones are more than powerful enough.
4) Google's Pixel is the only phone that has the camera in a correct orientation. Laying your phone down and having it tilt due to off-center camera's is stupid.
Agree or disagree, all these top tier phones are more than anyone needs so you can go with whatever you like.

I love my Pixel 8 Pro. It was slightly buggy when I first bought it, but updates have cured them and the battery on screen time, which I wasn't too impressed with at first, has also improved no end over the last few weeks. And obviously, the point and shoot camera is still superb.

A video for the sake of making a video only .. nothing substantial... competition will catch up and that's pretty much common because no brand lives under the cave... competition is always good for the end consumers...AI features will be democratized too like everything else.. and as for photos Samsung and OnePlus needs a lot of catching up to do to reach pixel level

Tensor chip in mine is garbage. LTE and WiFi reception drop on a regular basis. Extremely frustrating.

[Herolyfe]

One of my favorite pixel features is the Virtual Assistant to answer my phone for me. It's helped me much for screening my calls.

[cyberspider]

Love my Pixel 8 Pro. I tried a Samsung S24 and the UI was confusing compared to Pixel.

[mag]

I would love Pixel to just add fast charging, that would seal the deal for me. Currently sitting on Motorola because it has "clean" enough UI and fast charging 😅.

[zachsad]

Pixel still has a major advantage just by running stock Android

[geesonrob]

I bought this phone in Feb and was originally disappointed with the network heat and poor battery life.. but a software update or two has seemingly sorted this. Very happy with it now. Anyone else noticed recent improvements too?

[tyquddus]

Just picked up the pixel pro 8 for £729. No current flagship phone can match that price and offer such a comprehensive set of features
