I think the 7&8pro is one of the best phones to date. They feel 100% complete, they're very responsive, have all the great features and their cameras are top of the line. I cannot express how good the pictures and videos are and i'm not even a photographer. Just incredible.

[@Jason_Cardoza]

I completely agree, I love taking pictures with my new pixel 8 Pro. Call screen is highly underrated as well. I absolutely love it!

[@MattRobb]

@JCardoza831 the call screen is a life saver

I agree super smart. Switched from my 13 pro to a pixel 7 pro. Super smart and simple.

I have the pixel 7 pro. It's a good phone, but the heating issues, poor battery life is just sad

[@ryanrivers1259]

@@mr.niceguy2337 I agree. Me heat was an issue at first, but that seems to have dwindled. The battery life could definitely be better. 8pro seems to be a big step.

This is the first video of yours that I'm watching. Very good review and video. I like how you clearly show your personal experience with the phone and give an unbiased review.

[@pemulis808]

Great video, love that you actually go into what it's like using the device and the software. It'd be great if you could do a similar video on the S23 and the Galaxy Watch.

[@cguralol]

I got mine lsst week, I was using a pixel 5. The difference is HUGE and the improve in cameras is something I didn't expected since i was so used to the photos on my 5. I probably will be using my 8 pro for some 4 or 5 years, just like my pixel 5

[@MattRobb]

The biggest improvement I can see is video it’s honestly one of the best phones for video quality

On the topic of Airdrop-- this isn't usually a problem since you would just grab the picture or video from Google Photos, but it's worth noting that Google has a Windows app for Nearby Share, the equivalent Android feature. Hopefully they'll port that over to Mac soon.

[@MattRobb]

Actually there is an app for nearby share on Mac it's not official but it does work just means you need to install software on your Mac rather than an app on the phone.

[@Scubad1975]

Great video im not a apple user but they got some nice features. Nearby share is like air drop we just got that and ive been using it since and love it easy both ways to and from my pc . We have alot great stuff glad your giving a honest opinion not just biaest one way. Thanks again new sub foe sure fyi you guys are getting rcs finnaly.

Great Video Bro 😎👍.. Enjoy the Google World, it looks Amazing 🤩

Got my pixel 7 recently and I love it. The camera makes me want to take more picture. With my previous phone, I didn't find myself taking random pictures but with the pixel I try to take as many pictures as possible.

[@marksouthwell4490]

I got the 7a, simply because I got a better deal with it . Paid £279😊 it's an amazing phone

[@billydorney9647]

Only other problem I found was I didn’t get much for the 7 pro and pixel watch on a trade in ( tried to sell privately- waste of time) Whereas Apple phones sell no problem for decent prices, Saying that I love the look of the 8 pro

I did the same thing. I had the 15 Pro Max and I switched to the Google Pixel 8 Pro. I'm really liking this phone so far.

[@rouvem12]

I like both phones, currently on a 15 pro max coming from a OnePlus. I don’t like the Notification Center because the Lock Screen doesn’t show you everything until you pull up. I miss things all the time.

[@MattRobb]

I miss so many notifications when using my iPhone it’s crazy I hate how it doesn’t stack all the notifications for the one app. It stacks them in different piles and orders them by date…. Super frustrating

[@rouvem12]

You can use something like ShareDrop if your Mac and Pixel are on the same Wi-Fi network.

I see a lot of creators talk about the difficulty transferring files to computers/transfer speed. That's not a normal thing a user has to do, I understand it's a frustrating thing for your specific needs but if I need video or photo files on my computer I just login to Google Photos and download it from there.

[@jonathansturtevant3434]

Yeah even for PC there isn't Airdrop. Us Android users use Google Photos and download. If you pay the small monthly fee you get the full quality originals backed up from your phone. Is there really any benefit to moving them another way?

[@neilmcguinness4422]

Sorry, but I am one of the many neutrals out here who just cannot let your comment that the Pixel 8 Pro takes better videos than the IPhone slide. View both on a large screen and the pixel gets destroyed in detail capture. The Pixel's low light video has too much noise and it portrays people with too much contrast and gives them a strange AI look. Most of us neutrals put the Pixel 8 Pro behind both the S23 Ultra and IPhone 15 Pro Max in video quality. Google's video IS improving though to be fair. The photographic quality of the Pixel 8 Pro is WORLD LEADING when comparing auto modes on flagship devices though. Respect to Google.

@@neilmcguinness4422as a long time user of both I have to agree with you

I really wanted the Pixel to be my favourite, but the cool features are not enabled in my market (Denmark). Screen call would be so good to have. Also, the non-A models are too big.

Having had my Pixel Buds Pros for some months now, I can say with absolute certainty that they're - okay. As seems to be Google's MO, they have their weaknesses and bugs. When setting up for the first time, it runs a little test to configure noise cancelation. I'm not sure how or if the test can be run again, but the noise cancelling is, as is reported by numerous users, less than adequate. My Jabra 75s were much better in that department. I've had bugs where I'll listen with one earbud (pretty much always the right) for a bit before taking out the other. Occasionally it doesn't connect, so I put it back in the case and remove it again. Something even more common is one bud being in transparent mode and the other being in noise canceling or normal mode. Sometimes switching modes by holding down on the bud solves this. Other times I have to open the app and manually select a mode. Overall they're fine. I'll echo the same advice I read before buying them: don't pay full price. For $120 on sale I'm okay with them. My Jabra 75ts were a mess at first with bugs slowly getting worked out, but it seems like Jabra hasn't made any as good since. Sound and noise canceling were better, though the sound isn't that much different (by memory and the music I listen to; bit of a bass head, but I need highs as well).

[@MattRobb]

The bass is good but I don’t find them that comfortable and when I wear them in bed they have a high pitch noise when I turn my head for some reason. I also get false touch triggers causing the volume to increase and the song to play pause randomly. Overall good quality, but I can’t use the features because of bugs in the software you are completely right

[@ramizzmammadov]

Watched it again. I love the phone, but switching the watch and computer may be too much, and I do not love GMail, and as the iPhone 16 rumors begin to surface, I think, wait... dumb because its always going to be "something" better more AI-ish, more pixels, farther zoom, its a love-hate relationship with Tech and I'm speaking as an Apple II software developer. From the first iPhone, iPad, Newton, etc. Apple has been "it." But the Pixel 8Pro seems very cool...

I also prefer their processing with the camera. I cant stand the over warming of apple when they process photos, everything ends up with a yellow tint and i cant unsee it. Funny you said it looked like a piece of jewelry, the head designer for pixel hardware used to make jewlery!!

[@Messina4NY]

I've been an apple user (as my daily driver) since the iPhone 4. This is such a myth that "it just works" this is so far from the truth. Apple products don't just work, they glitch a lot, but it gets overlooked because it's apple. I really don't see much of a difference between the high end flag ships and apple in the last couple of years. I recently returned my iPhone 15 pro when it came out and switched to pixel 8 pro as my daily driver for the first time ever (I've tested pixels, Samsungs forever now) I am really over people saying "apple products just work"

[@sire3669]

@@Messina4NY They do glitch...very seriously! I use an iPhone for work. Currently, I have a 14 pro. So far, it's decent. I had a 12 pro before this and I've been using various models since the iPhone 4 for work. It's just what the companies I've worked for use. Whatever...I ain't paying for it. But with the iPhone 12, I had an awful time with it, just as I did with the 8. The screens would freeze or go black altogether and not wake back up during calls. It was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with a phone, aside from the nonsensical inability to easily customize user experience the way I wanted without having to jump through hoops. But the issues with it not waking up or freezing during calls?....Man, I almost threw the f***in things through a wall. I have a Samsung S21 (base model) for my normal everyday use, and I love it. It takes great photos, does what I want it to do with just about every file type imaginable, and it has gone through hell, being submerged in a river for an hour (it fell out of my pocket and I had to backtrack up the river to find it), being dropped from various heights, etc... The thing is rock solid and it has never let me down. I just got my daughter a Pixel 8 (base), and I will be very interested to see what she thinks of it when I give it to her. She had an S21 Ultra, which she hasn't taken very good care of. I think she'll be pleased with the Pixel 8, from what I've seen, even if it is just a base model.

My question is why are you even trying to airdrop your pictures and videos from the pixel 8 Pro to your Mac? If you set your pixel 8 Pro to automatically upload all your pictures and video to Google photos and then just download them from Google photos web on your Mac to your Mac PC.

[@MattRobb]

Because the file sizes are huge for videos and airdrops really fast

[@NOLATechy]

​​@@MattRobbIf you upload your videos and images to Google Photos, it can be done over cellular 5G at 1GB/sec before you even get home. When you get home to your Mac, you can then download them over WiFi at 1.2 to 2.4 Gbps, faster than Airdrop and you don't even need the phone nearby. Also Google Pixel phones upload all pictures and videos at full resolution, not downgraded.

Unfortunately, because of marketing reasons, Apple makes life difficult outside the Apple ecosystem. For sharing you simply had to use nearby sharing which Google has made available to all computer platforms.

[@MattRobb]

Nearby share doesn't work with Mac or Linux so it's not all computer platforms

I HAVE PIXEL 7PRO, PIXEL 8PRO, 23 ULTRA AND FOLD 5 AND PIXEL 8 PRO AFRER UPDATES IS HEAVEN. I HAD IPHONE 15 PRO AND IT WAS GOOD BUT NOT BETTER THAN PICEL 8PRO. BUT 7 PRO FEELS MORE PREMIUM

GREAT THANKS FOR THE COMMENT 😆

Nice phone pixel 8 pro

[@VladislavDoroshuk]

Pixel 8 looks good, like an updated Samsung s10. And when you look at the specs you see that some of them are still better at s10. That what makes the flagman.

[@MattRobb]

What’s better on the S10 over the Pixel 8?

[@VladislavDoroshuk]

@@MattRobb thiner body, lighter weight. Dual sim. Amoled display. Higher screen resolution. Expandable memory with one of the sim slots. ~88.3% screen-to-body ratio, while it's ~85.5% on Pixel. 550 ppi vs ~428 ppi. 32-bit/384kHz audio tuned by AKG. Full size 3.5 jack. Heart rate, SpO2 sensors - quite useless for me, but anyways. There's none of them in Pixel. ANT+ for the connection with some sport devices. I believe that's enough for the 4 years old phone.

[@VladislavDoroshuk]

@@MattRobb one more thing, 3 cameras vs 2. I really do prefer to see less cameras on phone, but that's just one more point to compare.

❤ team pixel

[@Unknown-iu3rw]

I am an apple user. When I checked comments I see majority of people talk about how good the camera is so I decided NAH I am going to stick with iPhone since Camera is not my primary concern. Everything talks about Camera as if majority of the people in the world are professional photographers.

Polished aluminum not stainless steel

[@JC29369]

I have owned the pixel 7 pro and 7 for less than a year. From personal experience neither one is worth it. No trade in value which speaks volumes and they stay plugged in. I myself am going back to apple asap my wife is going back to Samsung.

[@MattRobb]

Personally I feel the 8 Pro made a big leap from the 7 Pro and feels like a very different phone but I kinda get what you’re saying about resale value the iPhone is king at that.

[@ahmedyosry2671]

It's aluminum not stainless

[@amirkhan-tr5ij]

stainless steel??? or aluminium????

[@MattRobb]

I got it wrong it's aluminium just looks like stainless steel but not as durable

Pixels phones are special

[@rano12321]

3:56 android phones usually have more ram not because it's not optimized, not sure where fanboys got this info, it's usually because most older android apps are made with java, and it needs to virtualize to run apps with jvm, which is why android phones usually have more ram, where ios apps are all made with swift. it has nothing to do with optimization, it's 2024 no one optimizes anything.

[@MattRobb]

I was just talking from experience. When I have large apps on my pixel it normal only holds a few apps and has to restart the app when switching between them. In the iPhone I can scroll back like 20 apps and click an app I was using yesterday and it doesn’t restart it resumes where I left it.

[@rano12321]

@@MattRobb it has nothing to do with ram, it's just how android on pixel works, it doesn't happen on my S24U, closing app saves battery.

[@MattRobb]

@rano12321 It actually uses more power to move an application back into RAM every time you launch it than to just keep it open. Here’s why: App Relaunching: When you relaunch an app, the phone needs to load the app from storage into RAM, which requires more processing power and thus more energy. This involves reading data from storage, initializing app resources, and restoring the app’s state. Background Processes: When you keep an app open in RAM, the system can quickly switch back to it without going through the full startup process. Modern operating systems are designed to efficiently manage RAM, keeping frequently used apps in memory and putting them in a suspended state where they consume minimal resources. Energy Consumption: Keeping an app in RAM consumes some power, but it is generally less than the power needed for a full app launch. The operating system may also offload less critical processes if additional RAM is needed, without significantly impacting overall power consumption.

When is the update video?

[@MattRobb]

I would say sometime mid January because j want to really use the device a lot

[@Beleynir]

It has polished aluminum frame, not stainless steel

[@MattRobb]

Yup a lot of people pointed out my mistake.
