✌Did Google do enough with the Pixel 8 Pro to pull you away from Apple or Samsung?

This review is the most comprehensive I have seen on the Pixel 8 Pro. You have wonderfully described the benefits of the phone as a daily user, and avoided the endless rehashing of the spec wars. Even noting something as simple as how the phone sits flat on a table shows me a newfound reason to consider the Pixel 8 pro. Thank you and fantastic work.

Had a pixel 2 and loved it, got a 4a, loved it even more- I accidentally walked into a pool with it. Got a S22 and missed my Pixel the entire time, didn't want a 7 cause of the heating issues. Cut to now, pre-ordered The Pixel 8 Pro. First time preordering a phone, first time owning any Pro phone. I am so pumped to be back on team pixel.

Love the review style - you get to the key points quickly in an engaging way. That and it’s good to see a Canadian tech YouTuber thrive!

[Fluffywings]

First time seeing one of your reviews and this is the best Pixel phone review I have seen yet. I feel like most 'reviews' today have been showing features rather than sharing their experiences so thank you!

[gilbertgk]

You always discuss and show details that no other reviewer covers … always! Secure face unlock is an example Thank you

[nicholaswilliamsart]

Congratulations on the snap back I know it's not easy. Keep up the damn good reviews!!!

[TCHGY]

Thank you for doing a truly honest review of this phone!! You are one of the few youtubers that have done a "real" review on the device, and this is why i am subbed to you!

[speedkillz]

Your reviews get better every year. Really helpful review as always. Great work!

[caitlanstannah]

You are my favorite tech YouTuber! Would love to see you do some videos on e-ink devices (i.e. the boox and bigme android tablets, the new boox Palma, new dasung colour e-ink monitor) I believe e-ink is about to get very big. Great for eyes and avoiding the effects of blue light exposure + visibility is amazing in sunlight. My dream phone is a flip smart phone like the Samsung with an e-ink outer display

[LemosArt]

Love your reviews! I preordered the Pixel 8 Pro and got the Pixel 2 Watch for free. Too good of a deal for me to pass up. Trading in my Pixel 7. I love the software experience and the camera is incredible. 7 years of support is great, I plan to keep it for a long time.

Keep up the good work, bye!

I think Pixel is focused on competing with Apple, not so much Samsung. An iPhone owner would have an easier time switching to Pixel than any other Android phone.

[mikeatkinson]

Nice review. I think it would be an alright phone but, in order for me to drop samsung and move to pixel the phone would have to work very well up north where i work. It would be interesting to do tests on call quality, wifi strength, and single strengths between the other 2.

Nice review of the Pixel. I do think it is funny that most of my iPhone user friends when we are out will ask me to to use my phone to take pictures because they'll 'say your phone takes better pictures.' LOL

I've gotta say its one of the things that totally baffles me with the brightness. So glad you demonstrated the brightness slider next to the s23U. As that's exactly what I did, I need about 85/90% brightness on the pixel to match 50% on the ultra... It just feels... Wrong? 😂 I just dont get the logic. It's like Google cram in all the higher brighten to the final 5/10% of the slider, why google? Why?!

[MrFreeze]

The cameras, software and AI features on this phone are insane! I love the improvements they made to the front camera as well.

[TrueRay]

Got mines yesterday and I got to say...this thing is outstanding

[mistrotech]

For the "not enough light" error with face unlock, Google should add an option to use the screen as a flash to prevent that.

[casimir]

Lifelong Samsung guy just made the switch to the 8pro🙃🧐😐😳 Hav to say so far, Loving it! Runs seamlessly with my Gw6 and look forward to spending more time . Please keep doing what your doing for us all lady 😘

[jrockmedia]

I'm so excited, my 8 pro should be here today. I'm switching over from the s20 plus. Haven't had a Pixel since the 3 XL that I used to have. But I have really missed the pure Android UI and exclusive pixel features.
