Fraud: What a joke…Google/YT is dishonestly pushing Black videos down our throats. This black channel has 19k subscribers and its Pixel video has 20k views in 2 weeks, WHEREAS the Pixel review of FIVE WEEKS ago on the great JSL Reviews channel - with TWELVE TIMES (!) the subscribers (221k) - has barely any more views than this one.

I recently just found your channel and I love it already. I managed to get myself a Pixel 8 as a second phone, 2 days ago and I literally fell in love with the camera.

Got my Pixel Eight about a month now and NO issues to report - finger print reader works first time every time, memory holds true when switching apps, calls are so clear, very smooth everyday tasks- links to my PC for effortless file transfers so when am back in the office it's all their. I don't play games on this but lots of video instead and the screen is brilliant! This is my opinion and I think why go anywhere else when stock android is so good on this. ( I have a iPhone too for work but keep reaching for the Pixel because what is does it does so well).

Just ordered my pixel 8 and every video I've watched on YouTube is complaining about performance. Right now im using pixel 5 but if performance is a little better than the 5 then i think im good coz the 5 handles well.😅

I came passing through your video, It was helpful. I'm planning to buy myself a Pixel 8.

As a phone nerd who switches between multiple android devices every few weeks or so (S24, Flip 5, S23 Ultra, and Pixel to name a few), I can honestly confirm that the Pixel 8 has stutters/jitters through every app - even Google's native apps. In addition, battery life also suffers unfortunately. It's a decent mid tier phone with amazing UI imo but like the creater said, its held back by sub par performance. Also, I can confirm it does overheat more than it should. Its that tensor chip...its just not close to Sammys Snapdragon. With all that said, my SIM card is currently in the pixel 8 and I still enjoy it even though it has its flaws. From its system UI to its notification sounds, it's still a clean and simple phone to use. The exterior design language is much better than any late Samsung model I've used.

The pixel makes people of color skin look darker except pictures are taken under bright light conditions. Overall, pixel pictures look under-exposed when the lights fall.

Thanks. This was an excellent review. Every time I think I may buy a Pixel I read a few reviews and there is just always something that steers me to something else. Still trying to decide on this phone. I really only want it for VIDEO and that's it. I probably will not even use the phone. It's just that there are so few options of a pocketable video camera at this price point. The POV Action Cams feel weird to me. So I am off to look at some video samples. I also do NOT believe the batter is going to last more than 2 to 3 years for my use. But how does one review the life of a battery?

I'm looking for a half price Pixel 8 and this video helps a lot. Thank KJ ;)

Nice review, but could you let me know sound quality from Pixel 8 (speaker, bluetooth headphone, android auto). I'm using Pixel 7 and the sound quality really poor

[newfnshow]

the battery life is still garbage
Google really needs to work on this

[snowleopard]

Good review, thanks for the video! Thinking about finally upgrading my trusty Pixel 2 XL 😅

[ehtesammolla]

Sir, i want to buy a mobile, which one I will pick? pixel 7 pro, pixel 8 or galaxy s23 ?

[MaggicBones]

"It was a pretty rocky start ..." I though you said the phone was solid in your other reviews 🤔

[joweddd]

I have a question about the stutters on scrolling. Does it also happen on pixel 8a knowing that they have the same chipset? Because I have actually read a lot about the stutters people said on the pixel 8 but haven't heard that much on pixel 8a (I am not so sure with the pixel 8 pro tho since I haven't really watched videos about it).

[TheZegato]

I can't complain it's a great phone 8 pro. The shutter on camera can be fast I agree.

Google don't have burst photo take?

[slickdaddy]

I've had the Pixel 8 for a good while. It's been solid. I'm very critical. My take is . . It's a good all around phone. Great camera. No glaring problems. It's a good choice.

[imonporteous]

I have a pixel 8a and i haven't experienced any stutters. I have 120hz on in settings and in developer option i have "forced peak refresh" rate on.

[danielcastaneda]

Im really considering this phone but the s24 plus also looks promising, what would you recommend? I value battery life and app performance.

Hey, have you experienced the "Green Screen" issue with your Pixel 8?
