Even though Flossy is constantly repeating (charger in the box, sound test, etc), I enjoy watching every long video. It's about the same as watching classic films 15 times even though you already know the content. Love this guy!

[@jinvid]

Yes, LONG FORMAT FTW!!

[@topspot4834]

I don't watch a ton of tech reviews, certainly not as much as I used to since things have plateaued, but I always check out what *FLOSS* has to say when a flagship drops, and *NEVER* buy a phone without seeing his review. You're right, he keeps the same format and it's obviously repetitive, but I like the consistency and appreciate his honesty. And I really like how he nitpicks since there's very few differences from one phone to the next!

[@danielc.7088]

Flossy does great reviews. If I need info on a phone I'll always check out his videos. There's comfort in familiarity. You know the order of content and so you know what's coming, no surprises. I like it.

I prefer the lockscreen of the Pixel compared to the S23U. Beautiful animations, love the transitions from AOD to lock screen, and I love the little preview thing where you tap the screen and it expands from an icon to a full blown notification. It's just all done so well.

[@maciek2442]

Great review Flossy, as always. I upgraded from Pixel 7 Pro to Pixel 8 Pro. The main selling points for me this time was matte back, better camera, much higher "nittage" (important for me in FL sun), louder speakers and flat screen. I got Sky color and it's beautiful. I also got free pixel watch 2 and $550 trade-in credit for my pro 7 at best buy so it was really a no-brainer.

[@MrMOd3RnW4rF4R3]

Same here. 7P to 8P. The new brightness is absolutely the main selling point. I work in office 50% of the time the other half driving. Trying to reply to my guys, or dog around for emails in the mid day sun is horrible typically but the 8P has outshined ;). Still waiting for the watch to ship that's just icing on the cake right behind the trade in credit. The fun AI customization and looks are the cherry on top. Either way, depends what someone's looking for. However, I don't regret it.

[@maciek2442]

@reichs_fuhrer got my Sky 128g delivered on 10/19. They had that color on backorder so if you didn't jump on it right away, then the delivery date was showing into November when I checked in a couple days out of curiosity.

[@Kratos30000]

I bought the 8 pro and returned it. Even for me, I couldn't find enough arguments to upgrade from my 7 pro. The only thing that was a lot better was the front cam. The back cam is almost identical, as results are almost the same. The Google software magic working on the photos is just too good imho. Battery life isn't that good on the 7 pro, but it's fine. I didn't like the curves much on the display, but the flat display on the 8 pro was just too narrow.

[@FlossyCarter]

Thanks bro

[@Jermz1979]

Agreed on the battery. I just can't understand why these "flagship" devices are skimping out on battery. Make the battery be even with that camera hump and give us all day usage battery life. It would likely allow more room above the hump to integrate a better face unlock system as well as a wired headphone port or remote IR feature. If it's heavier, that's OK. The vast majority of us are adults and can handle a few more ounces of weight.

[@vandalg282]

So to explain simply; more battery life means a bigger battery, at some point you don't want to walking around with a phablet essentially, after 7inches of screen, you just want to buy a fold, which to me is just dumb. With that posted, battery life now needs to be software and not hardware based. This is essentially how everyone tackles the issue, lest you want a giant tablet of a phone in your hand. Keep in mind that all batteries on phones with 4,000 mah+, lasts for days, however, its the user and or settings that will of course reduce up-time. Simple fix; you don't need 100% brightness or to constantly play a game that will drain said battery. If you're not that reasonable, best carry a second device to play games and rely less on the phone.

[@Jermz1979]

@@vandalg282 Bro, I'm 44 and have been using smart phones and devices since the palm pilot. Software isn't going to fix everything or even most of it. More efficient SoC's, displays etc will have far more positive effect on battery life than software will at this point. Regardless of that, adding the minimal width and thickness required to slot an S pen on one panel will increase the battery capacity on the other panel as well which will also increase the outer and inner display size. Most of us are adults, an extra 2-3 ounces aren't going to even be noticeable a few days later. I have my issues with the One Plus Open, but dimensions aren't one of them. There's a reason that it is so lauded for it's screen ratio. It makes the outside screen usable for more than short messages being the main takeaway. Every single time you fold and unfold your display, you are adding wear and tear to the mechanism. Having to unfold it for what would be normal phone front display use is incredibly unintuitive. I'm a POWER user of my Fold devices, meaning I actually use 3 panels and the floating window A LOT for work. Having a device like the Fold has been a godsend for me with it's raw usability of the inner display, but I find myself having to use the inner display when I don't even want to, simply because it's almost necessary.

[@SamHarman46]

Seconded

[@ChasingState]

Battery has drastically improved on my pixel 8 pro. I get about 9-10 hours of screen time. I believe adaptive battery plays a role in the improved battery life. It's definitely adapted to my phone usually after about a month.

[@topspot4834]

I've used every Nexus/Pixel since the Nexus 4, my favorite was the 6p, but IMO the 8 Pro is the best one they've ever released. *FLOSS* said a week, but for me it takes about a month for the software to kick in, sometimes even longer. Love the direction Google is going with Pixel, and unlike *FLOSS* who prefers as many features packed in as possible, I like keeping things light and simple, which is why I prefer Pixel and iPhone (and the old OnePlus).

Depends on what you prefer ... Floss likes as many features as you can get, even if he doesn't use them, and nobody does that better than Samsung ... Some people prefer simplicity, and only what what they'll actually need, which is where both iphone and Pixel shine.

[@Ryan-cp7nz]

The pixel 3 had the squeeze i love it.. Google need to be more consistent with their product features rather then giving one year and removing them the other.

[@mcmurder8835]

Top review as always Floss. Right on the money with this one. The screen, the speakers, the build and the camera are the big highlights. Also the software, I love that clean Pixel software. The biometrics and battery are.. adaquate, could be improved. The price increase and storage options is a kicker. I was closer to eyeing up an Apple this time, but those Pixel launch deals are unbelievable. I got a Pixel 2 watch with this, totally sealed it for me.

I’m a huge Pixel fan but I completely agree they should fix the fingerprint sensor, face unlock and increase the battery size. And I’ve been taking a wait and see approach to if all the software bugs and glitches have been solved. I will say they fixed a lot of my issues with Pixels. $1000 is also TGH and they should’ve stuck with the old prices to give us value.

Plus I've never used a screen protector, never cracked a screen since the Nexus 4 and IMO a screen protector ruins the display and user experience. I hear what you're saying though, for $1,000 it's not at all unreasonable to expect at the very least a charger. IMO a fair solution would be to have the option to buy one for a discount at the time of purchase.

And I don't care about what's in the box. Charger would be nice, but then they'll just increase the price, and I'd rather it come with nothing and save $50 ... Especially a generic case and cable, two things I wouldn't use and even if it's only $10, I'd rather save that than get something just because ...

@@knowwork9overall a good phone, probably the best android experience I've had. The overheating has gotten better with the updates. My biggest issue is when trying to use the phone while Android auto is on. Ultimately heavy multi tasking is noticed as the phone can lag a little.

I hope I'm wrong but I doubt Samsung will commit to 7 years. Makes sense for Pixel since they control the OS, but since Samsung doesn't, that's a long time commitment ... Definitely shows how much phones have plateaued and that Google doesn't see anything ground breaking coming out in the next 5-7 years.

[@kierenkd]

@@topspot4834 The limiting factor has been hardware drivers for updates with many vendors not going past 5 years. Fair Phone reverse engineered drivers to patch beyond this. Samsung makes the tensor and modem for the Pixel, so are providing 7 years support for that SOC - however, unless Qualcomm do the same, I can't see how Samsung can offer it on Exynoss and not their US Qualcomm phones

Sorry to hear about your brother :( I wish you the best in life bro! Keep being the honest person that you are.

Latest and greatest yessir.. ♥️ or cheaper version ... Upgrade .. I am thinking of getting my first pixel 👏 Already got samsung and iphone . Motorola too but pixel looks beautiful 😍

Your videos definitely help me get through the day/week. Please keep them coming 🤙🏿

[@RamonGonzalez-p5g]

Went from the S23 Ultra to the Pixel 8 Pro and honestly, no regrets. For some reason the battery life is way better than the S23 Ultra. I can get a whole day with both but it lasts me longer. And the camera quality is way better too. I've noticed the S23 Ultra has blurryness around objects when close them even if it's not portrait. The S23 struggles to focus and this one is amazing. It gets everything in the picture. I haven't tried video I haven't really messed with but I'm sure it's on par.

[@Azfa_]

do you game a lot on the phone ? If so how was it.

[@jonlaguerre3163]

This is the realist Google pixel review ever, great job bro.

[@huntergibbs7797]

I have been using the 8pro for a while. I like it! We are at a point where to get a new phone, you almost need to get a different brand. Upgrades are so little nowadays. I like this phone, is it the best phone I've had? Hell no, but it does what I want it to do and does it well and beyond with Ai and I like that

[@rico4you]

You talking about the face unlock made me miss my S8's iris scanner 😭 I fuckin loved that. Honestly, I haven't had a phone I've loved more in its moment than the S8.

[@joshuawoodard6998]

That Pixel design looks good. I wonder if S 24 ultra is going to switch it up or go the apple route and stick to familiarity.

[@Kevin.A.S]

The hype is real!

[@stevewalker6396]

I love Pixel phones. I think or hope everyone who purchases one knows it's the smartest phone on the market and it does a lot well. I get both Galaxy phones and Pixel Pro models every release. The best real life reviews from a real dude. Doesn't make me not want to buy a Pixel. But it should be a silicone case, a charging brick! Something for you grand! Presentation is everything! Love flossy the boss!

[@gregjaudon1899]

So all the Pixel phones get the latest updates that the Pixel 8 pro will get like Bard?...

[@collin.a.]

great review Floss. I appreciate you calling out the lack of customization. I'm also glad the Floss Factor is back. for the face unlock comparison, I genuinely don't know: are the oppo/oneplus etc face unlocks just the camera? if they work in the dark, I imagine they must have bit mapping or similar. I would like to get a Pixel, but for flagship money this gen, the processor efficiency and speed, as well as the biometrics, are embarrassing.

[@dwaynefortune]

[@gupiter1562]

I think Flossy must have missed his flight 😂 but it was worth it for us viewers. Great in-depth honest review! I can't understand how other android manufacturers have face unlock work in the dark since only Apple uses a dot matrix laser dot projector and infrared flood illuminator (which is why they have the huge notch/dynamic island) and Google hasn't used that hardware since the Pixel 4 which was as good as Apple Face ID.

[@U_H89]

Some cameras still can 'See' in the DARK - Just needs different software/algorithms ...

Hey floss, I'm here watching your review rocking my new Pixel 8 Pro, but I fully agree that the face unlock just doesn't work without enough light. Nevertheless this phone is dope! Keep it up man, I love these reviews!

[@cynicist8114]

It can't since it is camera-based. It won't get better without dedicated hardware and a notch like the iPhone or Pixel 4. Between the fingerprint sensor and face unlock though, it's not a big deal.

[@The_Brimada]

Mine works because I'm technically cheating unintentionally. Since I keep my phone on max brightness all the time anyway, it gives enough light from my screen to unlock lol 😅. I was curious why people said it didn't work in low light/darkness when I had no issues, then I lowered my brightness and couldn't unlock it lol.

[@Jivan212]

Great video, Floss. I’m sorry to hear about your brother. RIP 🙏🏽

Imagine a Pixel device that had a ChromeOS partition on it. You use a HDMI adapter and connect it to a monitor/TV, you've got a fully working ChromeOS device. Google has it all right there for the taking, USE IT!

Recovering phone demon like you. Love my Pixel 8 pro. Traded the S22 Ultra for it. Was going for the 15PM but after a quick test drive i realized i was tired of Apple and wanted to try this out. I love it man! And the camera, software, AI, and future improvements are what sold me. Im not a power user..i like to be under 3hrs of screen time per day, so one full charge last me 2 days.

With my screen time averaging 3hrs and 6 minutes I've easily made it since Sunday. I'm not a heavy user. I don't have social media to death scroll either. Honestly the phone is such a great device, face unlock isn't good in the dark but otherwise it's solid. Happy with the choice I made.

I got the 8 pro and I really like it a lot. Battery life is very good. Camera is also very good, probably the best. The software features are something else. I would never recommend the 8 nonpro version. No real appeal for that one.
