I had my wedding last weekend, and the venue's AC kicked on right as we were doing our vows, totally making it impossible to hear what we were saying (recorded on my brothers iphone 15 pro max)... but i got my pixel 8 pro the next day, and the audio eraser 100% saved the video almost completely cutting out the ac noise and saving the video. The audio magic eraser (all though not perfect) literally saved a once in a life time video.

Got my Pixel 8 yesterday and I'm pretty happy with it, but it feels like a giant compared to my Pixel 3 😅
I just wish Google put the better cameras from the Pro in the smaller form factor.

Pixel 8 pro. I will never go back to Apple.

Currently using the Pixel 8, I think it's better than what I needed

As someone who was unlucky enough to lose a phone during a trek, i can confirm cloud storage beats internal storage. It is literally a life saver. If i hadn't uploaded all my photos, videos and files to google drive i would have lost all my data and that larger storage does nothing to prevent this.

I sent a "best take" and "noise eraser" video to my girlfriend's sister in-law (who's a diehard iPhone user) and she was amazed by it and asked me what phone does that.

I just went from the OnePlus 7pro to pixel 8pro and I have to say it's fantastic to use, snappy to use and a dream to hold. Looking forward to their promised updates to see what they bring to the pixels.

Got the Pixel 7 on sale for $750 AUD last Christmas and I think I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future. I hope some of these features make their way to the previous models!

7:53 The best take feature is actually all AI, it has nothing to do with the pixel camera itself, it works on pictures taken with other phones, it could be pictures taken months apart, it doesn't matter as long as the AI finds enough similarities in the photos to swap the faces, it's pretty impressive actually and very useful

Reviewers keep saying about the over HDR in Pixel 8 shots, yes it brightens shadows by default as that is the safer option, but if you like the shadows to be darker in any image literally one tap on the brightest thing in the photo and the Pixel will instantly amend the exposure and you get that more "moody" shot you want. It's a non-issue

Coming from Samsung S series I'm loving the Pixel 8 pro. The software totally knocked it out of the park. Cameras are on point too.

Pixel 8 pro with the snapdragon package, and upgraded modem....Would be the ultimate phone.... or close to it.

Have you noticed in 50mp pictures it looks blurry on screen but once you take the picture its sharp I wish I could show image of what I am talking about.

[kjeevan]

Upgraded from pixel 6 to 8 pro. Really liking the 8 pro so far, Feels like a great improvement. Don't believe the hate from some YouTubers.

That file size ecosystem jail thing is real, I use to think iCloud was cheap but eventually you’re gonna need more than 50gb which seems crazy for just pics and it’ll feel like a video streaming subscription service the monthly cost of storage

Just ordered my Pixel 8 (Hazel) on Black Friday for $550. The smaller size is just perfect for everyday use.
Can't wait! 🤩

They should also have Worst Take for the goofiest photos!

[robocobrabot]

Just learned that magic editor requires internet because it’s run in the cloud instead of on device. I think that’s an important detail no one seems to talk about.

I see a lot of comments talking about about Nokia having a feature like this but it seems the world forgot that in 2012 Blackberry introduced a similar feature on their BB OS 10 called Time Shift.

[AndrewHahaLee]

The new UI made it quite a bother - 4 steps more to be exact - just to change the exposure and contrast values when taking a photo because they removed it completely from the viewfinder.
