What I HATE about the Pixel 8 Pro after 6 months 😬

[jclif]

What the hell do benchmark scores have to do with you disliking Honda doesn't make engines as powerful as BMW ..do you hate Honda too?

[garner]

Who actually cares about bench marks when it comes to every day use?

[Arrozconchopsticks]

I don't even care too much if Tensor isnt as fast. It's powerful enough for me, what's more important is efficiency.

[hey_mario]

I disagree. Lifelong Android user and this is the best phone I've ever owned. Software is king.

[mrapollo_]

Never met someone outside of Reddit or YouTube that actually has a problem with how their pixel phone runs.

[jayhenry]

Charging speeds are stupid. Same with Samsung. Why they don't embrace the fast charging technology is beyond me. Especially for the cost. I got OnePlus. Charging up to 50 percent I. Less than 20mins

[DavorBertovic]

As a P8 pro owner since the pre-order, I would disagree about cpu power. Benchmark numbers don't mean anything because the phone doesn't lag in anything or any operation you throw at him

[wrakor]

Agreed. Google really needs to step up their game, or price their phones accordingly.

[postle]

I haven't seen any of those problems with my P8P my phone last all day with 20% left by 9pm. Laggyness None at all. Lick of the draw I guess

Tensor is also doing a lot more than just raw power, which is much more important imo. None of the other flagships have something as simple as call screening for example.

[CommentGuard]

Cant say I have had the same experience

The battery has been great (72+ hours) and performance is more than enough to play genshin and watch YouTube

[makispps]

Agree for everything except for the first point. Don't argue about synthetic test numbers. The chipset is good enough for everything you put it on.

[atlas-POG]

Custom ROM for me, and honestly while tensor may not be as good on paper in daily use I have not been able to notice its lack of power compared to apple or Samsung

[SolaOmos-qnns]

Benchmark my bench. My grandpa who uses his phone only for calls and text also says he wants better benchmark rated phone.

[David-swon]

I totally agree with you about pretty much everything! But🤔The one very important thing to many that you neglect to mention, is that the Pixel 8 pro has a cheaper Price Tag to the flagships you are comparing to! And because of those savings, myself & most likely many others do not mind those small compromises.👍😉🇨🇦

[OnnoSVW]

The Tensor Chip isn't that fast, but it's far better optimized to the OS, so the Pixel for example faster boots up than iPhone 15 Pro.

The battery life isn't that good, you're right, not for everyone optimal for every user, but with adaptive charging, the battery doesn't wear out that fast. Charging speed is not better at Samsung and Apple.

My Pixel 8 is completely reliable, no time crashed, no bugs (out of beta of course).

[edgarlealz]

For me after 8 months haven't seen any of these issues.

[mikestakeon]

Honestly, who freaking CARES about benchmarks at this point? It's such an utterly pointless non-argument. No one cares if Geekbench got 200 more points as you're scrolling through IG or TikTok or uploading your latest photo of your cup of coffee.

[cosmo]

And what task except benchmarks does one need the more power 😅 just asking? From a happy Pixel 8 owner😊

[Warmaster_horus]

I have the pixel 8 pro, Samsung 24 ultra and the iPhone 15 pro max. And I ended up using the pixel 8 pro, I find it a fun phone to use and don’t really notice that much off a difference between the three, except the s24ultra eats battery life fast
