GOOGLE DID IT! My Thoughts On the PIXEL 8!

[@5150crazyfun]

Thank you. Finally someone covering the base Pixel 8. Not everyone wants a large phone or can afford to pay $300 extra for the 8 pro. But I will say it looks like Google did an awesome job this year with fixing a lot of their issues. For me, 6.1" to 6.2" is the perfect screen size for a smartphone. Much like the base iPhone 15 is the best value iPhone, the regular Pixel 8 is the best value android right now.

[@sammy63611]

Agreed good sir.

[@5150crazyfun]

@6asileus I agree I prefer more compact phones 6 inches is just about right. I hate this trend of having tablets instead of phone sizes that are manageable. Who realistically is gonna wanna hold a tablet in their hand for a long period of time? I mean I can see the practical side for those with vision issues, but overall I don’t want to carry a brick around with me.

[@kgzdelivery]

👍🏼

[@dibidibadibidibou]

Every year it's the same thing. KZbinrs only cover the Pixel Pro..

[@sammy63611]

@6asileus it seems like we're in the minority unfortunately.. Asus announced few days ago that they're stopping support for the brilliant zenfone 10. A phone that only got released this year! Smaller phones are more expensive to make and larger phones are (for some odd reason) associated with luxury which holds higher demand. Preposterous if you ask me.. But unfortunately those are the facts.

[@JLuccan]

Thank you for covering the base model. Everybody's just reviewing the large one and forgetting there are people who enjoy or need smaller phones out there.

[@AjAj-kg9uw]

I received my Pixel 8 Friday and agree it's been absolutely great. I've had a 6, 7, and even iPhone 13 and this is by far my favorite. It's light, comfortable, fast, amazing camera's, Google nailed it!

[@kc4276]

This is literally the perfect screen size for me. I stopped using large phones a year ago and I can’t go back to them anymore!

[@vaibhavshukla549]

Using the 6A and loving it but now with all these features and the additional 7 years of Android updates+security updates+pixel feature drops make a compelling case to upgrade to the regular Pixel 8. It's the same size as the 6A, the sweet spot 😊 Not too big, not too small, just the right size with a better screen to body ratio.

[@JonSuejoj]

You'll probably get a good trade value since you're upgrading

[@ACasualCustomer]

The frontal design looks so good compared to the 6 and 7. It's right up there in terms of frontal design with the Pixel 5 which in my opinion is one of the best looking phones out there, and it's the one I'm currently using. Taking that into consideration and the fact that it's actually smaller than the 7 made it a no brainer for me!

[@petergriffin513]

Feels more like Redmi than Pixel 5 because of the chin

[@zaineridling]

I had the same positive impression of the Pixel 8. Bought a Latercase to retain its shape. But I really am impressed with this phone after three days. Would definitely recommend.

[@PeterEccles]

I'm loving my Pixel 8 Pro especially after coming from Samsung S22 Ultra. Simple and clean. The S22 was my first and last Samsung phone.

[@irustic]

How's the network reception & overall battery performance thru out the day...does it get warm if using for normal usage..txs for the straight forward review

[@graham1155]

I have the 8 pro, for now, still not convinced. Object eraser looks good on the phone, however, when you view the photos on a bigger screen it looks a mess

[@xandersolotano4676]

So happy to see the rose in a video it looks gorgeous. Every other video features the hazel which looks nice but rose is up there with some of my favorite colors on any phone right now

[@LeftEyeless]

Its so hard to find reviews of the 8, literally everything is about the pro its very frustrating.

[@BigHouseProductions33]

Yep, I have enough 6.5in+ devices. Love the size of this Pixel 8. I grabbed a case from CaseBorne that has mag safe built in and it comes with not one but two screen protectors included. I feel the base 8 will be better for most people. Great review.

[@Steversonmedia]

Solid review, I would just suggest cleaning off the lens when you do the tight macro shots of the product, other than that you did good bro!

[@CastIronEric]

Kevin, been following you for years! Keep putting in that work, bro! You always keep your reviews honest and straightforward.

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Jdmith]

I only want the base because it’s smaller

[@jbp48080]

Kevin, great video sir. Im an apple iPhone 15 guy now but looking to try the pixel 8 and see how awesome and simple it is.. BUT there are things i use ie notes, and reminders does pixel have something like to this use?? i

[@elindenstein]

Yeah. Google calls them KEEP and TASKS. I prefer Tasks to Reminders.

[@harrylen1688]

I was thinking to upgrade the Pixel 7 Pro to Pixel 8 Pro but since I show the Miniscule difference's on diferent channels also product promotions Earbud's, Watches I have plenty also I give a way too. I decide to get the Dji4 its worth it = end of game :) Nice review!!

[@claudiabailey5302]

The differences are not Miniscule and the pixel 7 pro was my daily driver.

[@jejunamja]

Great to see your review of the regular pixel 8 everybody's doing the pro and looking forward to your full review on the phone

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Thanks! Google and team pixel sent the pro, I thought the regular one as I planned to use it

[@malcontent_1]

Hey Kevin - love the casual & accessible style of this video. I'm anxious to receive my P8 by UPS later today.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Farmington Hills Michigan? I live there most of my childhood.

[@Techninjaspeaks]

I’m from Southfield. I spoof my location during my video so I’m not in Farmington but I’m in the area.

[@Red_Snappa]

Why tf, don't phone manufacturers offer EXACTLY the same specs for their phones, regardless of size?? (Like a Pixel Pro 6.3" and a Pixel Pro 6.7" for those that like small or larger phones) Plus also include a more _basic_ new model phone for those that don't need all the bells and whistles 🤷‍♂

[@Techninjaspeaks]

8a will be a more basic version, pretty much.

[@Red_Snappa]

@@Techninjaspeaks It's more to do with the same top specs being on the smaller form factor. There's always a sacrifice to be given if you opt for the smaller phone...

[@andrewsmith8355]

I agree I would really like a pro spec Pixel but at a pixel 4a size

[@basedw]

I ordered the 8 because I don't want a brick lol. Can't wait

[@iAfroTech]

Because most people prefer larger screen, are okay to pay more for larger screen and because it’s business.

[@3lectronic0]

6:19 too much noise, I prefer the S23.

[@AjAj-kg9uw]

And all the AI magic they incorporate into it from camera google assistant call screen its crazy awesome

[@AjAj-kg9uw]

Also I've had no heating issues and battery been hreat

[@GaabzR]

I still have the 4a. I hate big phones (which is a huge reason I haven't changed phones in years), but the lack of security updates from now on makes me think about upgrading. Should I do it? Is it worth it?

[@Techninjaspeaks]

It’s time. lol.

[@NILUFERKEKI]

What are the 8 pro colors? For 1 tb. Cost for same? And cloud storage unlimited?

[@waterbubbler44]

Can you comment on the G3. ls it fast enough to so called process photos? My pixel 7 pro always need that 4 to6 seconds to process the photo before can properly preview the photo that was just snapped...

[@legocat0306]

Are your volume buttons moving back and forth at all? I got mine and they rock back and forth.

[@BarryJohnson]

Right on Kevin. Google definitely did the thing this year.

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Thanks Barry

[@BarryJohnson]

@@Techninjaspeaks You are welcome Kevin 💪🏽

[@TomDegregorio-cz9yy]

Dude I agree 100% this feels like a flagship finally. I was pissed that the price went out until I used it. Love the size and the screen is top notch.

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Heck yah! make it a flagship and then let the a”A” lineup be something that’s not flagship. A smaller phone should not be a lesser phone in my opinion.

[@T3CHGY007]

Very nice to see a review on the smaller pixel 8! Thank you! This is the google phone that the majority of consumers will be going for!

[@Mandeepsinghmakker]

Is the best take and magic editor available on Pro or both the variants?

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Yes it’s on both pro and non pro.

[@ACasualCustomer]

Could you confirm if it's possible to use the Pixel 8 Pro Apk to access Pro mode on the regular Pixel 8? I read somewhere on an forum that they were looking into it

[@jevonsims900]

Google gonna block that Pixel 8 Pro camera APK watch.

[@MrChristophersilva]

This is a comfortable review and I really like your relaxed and easy approach here. Thank you

[@Techninjaspeaks]

This means more to me than you’d never know. I’m really doing my best to find my voice on this platform that’s full of many many voices. And being able to be myself in a video is very important to me, but yet want to make it factual, and everyone can get something from the video.

[@SajanSajan-yw2qi]

Any heating issu on your experience??

[@hhhosama205]

Do you recommend to change from pixel 7 to pixel 8?

[@NKHSP]

imma lil skeptical about the performance about pixel8s are they even going to last 3 years let alone 7 considering tensorg3 is no match for A17pro or SDGen2

[@flow2tech]

@NKHSP we still have a pixel 5 in the house going strong..As zippy as the day it was bought ..Battery still holding up well

[@technoso3423]

If you looking for a Magsafe case for your pixel 8 I believe d-brand has one

[@brett19890]

I think convenience of a small phone is the majority factor argument to get this over the pixel 8 pro. Other than that, the pro model offers a lot more.

[@anjalirawat2827]

Sir, I have to choose between iPhone 15 plus and pixel 8 Please help

I have a huge problem with 2.4g wifi on pixel 8...Have you done a speed test using 2.4g wifi??? Pixel 8 is not compatible with 801.11 bgn 2.4g wifi, only with 801.11 ax 2.4g wifi...5g wifi there is no problems.... I am only getting 2mbps download speed with b/g/n enabled!!!! Sadly, my smarthome devices can't connect to ax only 2.4g wifi!!! So basically I am screwed....and public wifi is mostly 2.4g bgn!!!! I got a replacement for the pixel 8 and it's doing exactly the same thing!!!

[@ReevenEsteves]

Hi, i'm from the Philippines fun of Google Pixel. I have review all of the series of pixel phones. My only request from the creator of the google pixel is.. About the 5G support. Because here in my country we can only use the 4G network, even though pixel phones is supported the 5G network. I don't know if google pixel is only supported the 5G network in your country. I hope this will fix.

[@andrewmaple9863]

This or a s24 ??

[@MrGyges]

Excellent. Thanks

[@reynardmauricio]

Mous x Google Super Thin case is MagSafe compatible 👍

[@J-my6qj]

Thanks for covering the regular 8 and the video performance. Everyone's doing the Pro. Not everyone wants to spend a grand on a phone, esp a Google phone.

[@MRJLS15]

I definitely want this one, otherwise looks beautiful very nice.

[@firesdust]

I have a feeling all future phone will have some sort of magsafe built in.

[@IBeVibin]

Just got my pixel 8 today from iPhone 13 pro. The speakers def don't sound as deep but it's not bad. They wound perfectly fine. This display kills the iPhone though. It's so damn good

[@Techninjaspeaks]

What made your switch ?

[@IBeVibin]

I used android for years until 2016. I've wanted to go back to android but wanted to wait until google made a pixel I think is good enough to. This was the year for me. Also, I'm in the US so iMessage is a big thing. I have a Mac so I can still use iMessage on my Pixel. People just gotta add my email to my contact. If I wasn't able to do that I wouldn't have switched cause group chats and such. Also the flat screen! I really enjoy it so far. Just got it today. It's less wide than the iPhone and I really like that. I also am trading in my iPhone so I have 2 weeks to decide whether I want to keep it or not. Just looking at my iPhone makes it look so old. Idk what it is but the pixel just looks so much better

[@owoFlamy]

I currently got a 13 pro and was thinking about switching :( how did it go? How is the camera?

[@SanguinePink]

​@@owoFlamyI went from 12 mini to the pink pixel 8 and the camera/ai features ar crazy. Battery & speakers is a lot better but I had a 12 mini so idk how good the 13 pro is haha. No problems here

[@deey132]

@Tcripe497 I'm so used to my iPhone, I was actually going to start the process to return it today but something told me to just keep playing with it and now I have decided to keep it. I also have the 13 Pro Max but this phone is really good.

[@mun33y]

Man are you related to MR T from the 80s?

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Yes

[@klam82]

All new phone makers should focus more on battery life instead of upgrading their cameras every year. I rather a premium phone that can last 2-3 days of heavy use than camera upgrades that you can see my sweat on detail 😅

[@MMOsForLife]

Like all the Pixels they are a compromise compared to that same gen's flagships. Less battery life, slower performance, optical fingerprint sensor, thermals, much slower UFS 3.1, less capable cameras. And for $999.00 is the U.S. the 8 Pro is overpriced for those compromises. Because for only $200.00 more you'll get much better in all those features. Don't get me wrong, I like the Pixels. But their lesser for less money approach is getting old. Lower the price on the Pro to $799.00 and I'll skip the "free $349.00" Pixel watch 2. But I'd probably still not buy it. Because the S23 Ultra's 2 day battery life is something I wouldn't give up. While the Pixel 8 regular is a decent value as a midrange priced phone.

[@harrylen1688]

Indeed byers getting exited with profuct promotion's I thought the same thing Pixels getting way over priced !!

[@SanguinePink]

Phones have come so far that I don't think it matters if it's weaker than a s23 ultra, it'll still be smooth as butter. The features/AI you can't find anywhere is worth the price to me.

To me it needs to be wider. If the screen was 6.1 or 6.2 at an 18:9 aspect ratio it would be perfect. Then it would be as wide as the pro but as tall as the standard 8.
