Why I Hate and Love the Pixel 8 - An In-Depth Review

The Google Pixel 8 has been out for a few months now, and we've been using it as our daily driver to see how it holds up in the long term. I tell you the story of how much I love it, and yet how much I hate it.

Incredible review
We all love you Gauraang❤

[marturomano]

I agree about the performance and future proofness. However, after using a Pixel 3a with its mid range CPU for FIVE YEARS, I can say that there's no way a chip like the Tensor G3 wouldn't be able to survive those years as well.

[arkantochiron]

A very comprehensive and well-rounded take. Loved it.

[adeetyaarora]

Bro you should really leave Techbar and focus more on your own content. I know money's gotta be an issue which is why you left this channel on a backburner but trust me the sooner you realize to build your own audience, the better. Your story telling, composition and cinematography skills are on par and beyond other Indian tech channels which I why I followed you in the first place. Rooting for you to grow more.

Beautiful video man the cinematography is perfect and on point. You 100% earned a sub.The video is composed beautifully and I feel like you haven't wasted even a second of my time
Good luck for the future man, hope your channel picks up fast

[MikeyDesta]

Bro u have earned my respect. This is absolutely fantastic review! I have been using the Pixel 8 for almost a month and those are my general ideas on it too. You've got urself a subscriber!

[ravster]

Great channel man. Very fresh perspective, thank you. Keep up the good work

[lalith_rajkumar]

Aah, here’s a newer and better perspective from a contemporary (at least to me). Rooting for this channel to take off 🚀 I’m subscribing!

[premgaru]

Great video and makes a lot of sense. You really know your stuff and the advice given is truly practical. Keep up the good work. ❤

[indranil]

I have been using it for about a month .
Your Criticism in both positive & negative side is just PERFECT

[xdadev]

Heating will subside with updates but not completely. Most flagship users aren't into gaming anyways. Honestly speaking, even SD865 is more than enough for most users even today and I don't trust these synthetic benchmarks either. In my P8pro testing, it goes 1.3M max but I never felt I need more performance unless I'm running Genshin Impact for hrs.

Iphone 15 is too basic and S24 shares the same fate of P8 with Exynos 2400. I think, P8 and S24 would be a great buy in sales.
Cheers 🥂

Nice review man, respect for being honest

[nareshpuri]

Hello Dear
I have been having war of thoughts in my mind whether to buy Pix 8 or not. We have been made aware of its con like heating, signal issues, slow battery charging etc earlier also in videos.
Tdy morning i saw your video. My compliments for a threadbare video. Love and hate issues are nicely explained. Why and why not Pix should be used is now completely understood.
Is Pix 8 Pro somewhat better?
Thanks and Regards. Appreciated your hard work. Will be placing an order.

damn coming back after a year with a banger'

[VIKRAMV]

Using pixel 8 ! Great device ! Camera is outstanding and pan cinematic video option is seriously awesome with little filter and edit to it! Main reason to purchase : camera and software thats all display is great too

[shibashisroy]

Fantastic review, your delivery and cadence, needs to be applauded.

[aileeenfilms]

“The phone will heat up” monologue was the best

[jevonsims]

I'm so glad you're not a Pixel shill who only focus on good Pixel 8 qualities. Having a phone with just a good camera is like having a car with great tires but engine is crap.

[AdityaSingh-ivwz]

One feedbak for your new channel Gaurang
Try to make the videos a little bit more vibrant (like brighter colours bright background)
Rest I feel like your content is really great keep it up 🙌❤️

[daveuerk]
