Always love these phone reviews/tours in the city. It really stands out from other tech youtubers. Now I want to go to New York (I already have the 8 pro so box checked)

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!

[@JOEYLONDON]

I always look forward your review videos because not only do I get a review of a product but see a glimpse of your world with a sprinkle of knowledge about your favorite coffee spots.. mini history lessons are great! No one does it like you! 😊🎉

[@peterjackson6228]

Ah this is what I was waiting for! Really good to see the coffee shop and its history. Really liked the botanical gardens, an excellent place for testing the cameras. I do like how USA/New York destinations such as the botanical gardens and the Bronx Zoo does halloween, here in the UK, its no where near as elaborate. I'm currently a Pixel 6a owner, use to have the Pixel 5 which one of my sons now has. I'm not sure if I should stick with the 6a until the 8a, or treat myself to the 8 Pro; think I might wait until your Pixel 8 review.

[@rui_magalhaes]

Awesome as usual! Definetly love the history tours!

[@TonyBalboa]

I keep watching your videos even though I have no interest in buying these devices, still happy with my Pixel Fold. I love the day in the life trips. Also, I know the constant background noise is frustrating, but I genuinely enjoy seeing the struggle. Have a great day. Another amazing video as always.

[@anthonyl.cawthornesr.7226]

David love your Real World Tests. NYC has so much character. Pixel 8 Pro is a nice phone definitely going to get it

[@walkswithmycamera]

Got to say that this is your best outtakes so far - exceptional! No wonder you’re tired at the end a day of testing.

[@Chockster612]

I didn't want your video to end! 😀 That was a fast 21.45 minutes! Thanks for what you do, how you do, keep doing you! Thanks so much.

[@TechTimeMass]

Another killer video!!! Love this format

[@taylorpadilla7599]

This is NOT to say that this video wasn't absolutely everything I was looking for, but I have to admit I hit the subscribe button purely due to the bloopers at the end. HAD ME IN TEARS! Please, never stop with the bloopers!

[@20hkn23]

Dude your “weird” format rocks! Keep going 😊

[@danjohnson5952]

I've watched a lot of videos on the 8 pro and this has to be the top so far I love your view of it 👍👍

[@LG-fl3ye]

Awesome review and love your mini history lessons!

[@Cubiche047]

Great video as always, using my talk-to-text on my pixel 8 Pro. Looking forward to using it more! I would also say that the feature drops or the upgrades that are coming later make a bit of excitement even after the new phone euphoria wears off

[@ChadSmith-teamsmithdad]

Love what you do with your videos! The bloopers at the end had me giggling ten minutes after I finished watching! Did it feel like you were sitting next to La Guardia?

[@joshuakarloclaudio3463]

Your videos are my go to when a new phone comes out, really like your take of “day in a life”. Its not just going around running errands, i actually learn something hahahaha

[@daltonwildes2215]

Awesome video! Loving my pixel 8 pro and I have never wanted to go to New York more than right now so thank you! How can I even plan a trip to NYC for me and my wife it's almost overwhelming and I wouldn't know where to start! The botanical gardens look amazing and might be a good place to start

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you for watching even though you have the phone 🙏

[@MeesterH]

😂😂😂 I was wondering why your video was ending so soon but love that outtakes. Keep up the good work.

[@user-wb3yl5tm6n]

This was one of the best review formats I have ever seen. It is the first time I have come across your videos, and I am now subscribed. Thanks for the info. I am a new iPhone user, with the 14 Pro Max since July, and I will be trading it in today in order to get the Pixel 8 Pro. The first month on iPhone wasn't so bad, but every day use is pretty awful after switching from Android.

[@MariiaPiskunova]

Did you get the 8 pro instead?

[@kevinmikulaj]

Another great video and tour! Turkish coffee is a guilty pleasure. The botanical garden looks amazing. To answer your question, yes I consider the Pixel 8 Pro worth the extra $100. Using the camera does deplete the battery, but it is worth it. Have you tried the astrophotography feature?

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you! Love Turkish coffee ☕ And no I haven't had a chance to use the astro yet, it's hard in NYC cause of light pollution so I'd have to leave a couple of hours out basically 🤦‍♂️

[@cguralol]

I came for the technology, but your approach is so fascinating. You tell us interesting data about things in your city or the place you're visiting. It's really a nice toach

[@MyFinalCutProJourney]

A very nice video and review. I'm loving the Pixel 8 Pro. Almost left before the out takes and THAT would have been a mistake. What a great part of the video!

[@TheUnlockr]

Haha thank you for watching all the way through!

[@yankeesfan1973]

[@orepoutanes]

Great review style, followed!

[@jonathanj.3695]

This phone shoots some damn good videos. Google is really stepping up their game with this phone. You can tell that they're aiming their sights at both Samsung and Apple.

Fantastic video and approach. LOVE my Pixel 8 Pro. Anyways, I just subscribed for the amount of thought and time you put in to create this video...editing had to have been so demanding! Great job!

[@Mark-sz6mq]

Great video! I still love my Pixel Pro 7 and we'll keep it until the updates are done.

[@el_ibacache]

It is very much a long shot considering the carrier deals, but could you make a Real-world test on the Asus Zenfone 10? Great vid, tuned and subscribed for the RWT of the regular Pixel 8!!

Great video as always. Loving my Pixel 8 Pro. Whenever I try to switch, they keep pulling me back in! I lived in the Bronx for 10 years, and never went to the Botanical Gardens, not sure how I missed that, wish I had after seeing your visit. There is still the West Bronx and the Riverdale/Van Cortlandt Park area with Wave Hill that would be a good place for a real world test video IMHO. Keep up the terrific content!

[@tersem5151]

What about the portrait mode, how it is .

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!!

[@AssassinIsAfk]

How's the battery life on it?

@@AssassinIsAfk I'm getting good battery life. I have a Pixel charging stand at work, so I am usually always topping up, and keep it around 70%.

[@jonathanwarne3480]

Great to see the thing you are talking about actually being used. Much more useful than filming with something else while just talking about the Pixel 8.

[@Retiredmco]

Just got one month ago for $499 the 256 GB version, absolutely love it. Had a bug where wifi calling wasnt working for 2 weeks. But its fixed now.

[@venci005]

oow cool 👍🏼 there’s so many integration of old stuff onto this one (software wise) but the one that got me is 8-years of support. Thanks Google❤️😌 at the end.. the noise never change 😆

[@ariansmovies]

I feel like it is safe to say but the ultra wide video is not as strong or crisp as in the main sensor of the phone's camera. Great video like always. I think I'm going to get the Pixel 8 Pro when I get my tax returns but I still want to see what's this Video Boost feature is about and hopefully that feature will be available when it drops in December.

[@AaronCrawford]

Pixel and S23U seem to take the best pics. Great review

For the bloopers, wouldn't audio eraser help with that? Just copy the recording file to the phone, erase background noise and then put it back to the computer to finish the editing

[@mikldude9376]

looking at your outro with the sound bloopers , mate , you need the cone of silence 😊.

[@andreaarnesano6852]

Always I love yours reviews because are different from the others and show me the city and I m in Italia 🇮🇹

[@centurytuna100]

Nice combination of tech review, history and bloopers 😅 and noisy environment - u should have used the video sound editor 😜 of pixel 8 pro 😂 i enjoyed watching this video

[@reemalhadrami5274]

now more than ever we need you to be the exclusive first as am sure to try the motion camera app and film in the pixel 8pro in raw so we could see what the upgraded camera system along with the updated app can both deliver and if it would be a match to the prores of the 15PM

[@larsolsen5381]

Coming from s22 ultra exynos... It is actually an upgrade in battery life on the pixel 8.. 😅 2-3 SOT to 4-6 on the pixel.

[@GroundedTech]

Every time I see the end of your videos David I wonder how the hell you get anything done 😂😂

[@martinongwae1931]

Great job.. the pixel biggest problem is battery life sadly😢 .. how hot does it get while recording?

[@gagags1115]

OMG your bloopers have me absolutely rolling 🤣😂🤣😂 Have me in tears LMBO

[@9Ayir]

I live ur videos style

[@Chemy.]

This device is very interesting, but not sure if because of all the geolimitations of some services (even the warranty) is not a worldwide device right now, but I like it a lot. Btw eventually more noise bloopers that's funny for us but sad for you lol. Great video Sir

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you and yes the noise actually drives me nuts lol

[@DougElfman]

I appreciate your great work. I wish you used only the phone you're testing for all video where the phone is not in the frame. Because I go, is this his mirror less or is this the phone ... That's my suggestion box suggestion. Plus everyone is using phones for front camera all day. Could you do far more front cam video with built in mic please? Thanks.

[@Jaysus145]

The "weird little format" was my favorite part!

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you 🙏

[@Mark-sz6mq]

Speaking of the battery. You would usually show the percentage when you start and when you end. 😊

[@sandorszabo]

How can I change the home screen icon grid? I can only place 4 icons horizontally, but in the video you have 5. Thank you in advance.

[@negig2161]

The basic Temperature sensor was a Bad move .. They should've atleast added extra Sensors in the same Area so that it Could Measure The O2, Heart Beat and stress with the addition of Body Temperature sensor like there was In Galaxy S8 !!!

[@niteshkujur4820]

Video quality is very nice 👌 👏......

[@Nazgarn]

Really tempted to buy it for the AI potential but thinking about S23 Ultra it maybe Fold 5... Pixel 8 Pro looks promising

Coming tomorrow at 10am ET :) thank you!

[@dccharles8003]

So i have a question I've been a pixel user since the pixel 4 but my pixel 7 is now dropping calls not sending messages it dies pretty fast now. With all that being said should I buy the pixel 8pro or the s24 ultra. I take alot pictures for work and my work days is about 9hrs to 10. What are your thoughts.

[@DyadintheForce]

After seeing the bloopers - I wonder how valuable the Audio Magic Eraser would have been to use both as a test in that environment, and in general to save you from banging your head lol

[@frankr111th]

I should have my 8 pro in about a week, hoping for a better experience than on the 7.

Video looks great, display is on par with Samsung, haptics are the best in any phone including the ai features. Its a whole package. If only it had fast charging

[@SpicyNoodleDragon]

The S23 Ultra has 1750 nitts display and this has 2400 nitts :p

[@jaouadharmouchi7465]

I still have onplus 7pro. Should i buy this or w8 for the 9

[@lapswood]

Surely if you film your future Real World Test reviews on the Pixel 8 Pro with it's Audio Eraser feature then you can finally ditch the outtake section at the end of your videos.

[@ph1785]

Thanks for the review , the pixel 8 pro is definitely much improved over the pixel 7 pro , the form factor is better, easier to hold in the hand , the display is much more brighter, it's seems the camera s have more light coming in to lens, night shots much improved, battery so so , I 🤔 the build quality is A plus, very happy with the phone , I have had a lot Android phones , from pixel,Sony , one plus , Samsung ,😮 Nothing phone, and my two favorite phones are pixel 8 pro and Samsung flip phone , !

My pixel 8 pro tends to underexpose dark areas of a photo and over expose the bright areas. Wondering if I should exchange it? Anyone else having these issues?

[@ernstt1616]

Enjoyed the history lesson and real world battery life screenshots. That battery life is horrendous. I have a s22+ and its chipset isnt the best. When I record over an hour of basketball sessions in 4k60 I only lose 20-30%.

[@IAMFROMISTNBL]

Turkish Coffee 🔮☕️👌🏼 Great End 😂

[@collin.a.]

The Tensor chip is so much less efficient and runs so much hotter compared to 8G2 (and now 8G3). It doesn't feel like it belongs in a $1000 phone. If this had the 8G2, even if that meant getting rid of some AI features, I'd be sold. I love the design, the software, the display, and mostly the camera. But the chip holds it back significantly for me, so I'll likely be sticking with Samsung for now.

[@L-h-83TdIJL]

It is 2020 performance with 1000 bucks 2023 pricetag

[@anhxel]

samsung is just always going to be the phone for me because the software experience of one ui is just so good especially the customisation

[@iAfroTech]

I own a 13 Pro with A15 and a Nothing Phone (1) with SD778G+. My 2 phones are smooth, Battery life IS fine and il don't feel restricted at all. Tensor G3 is not the best but if you think about a little bit more, if you take your Pixel as an personal assistant, then it's totally fine. Google really need to introduce Pixel as the best personal assistant and not only like a smartphone with AI Features for cameras.

[@L-h-83TdIJL]

@@iAfroTech yeah, for a sub phone, no doubt. But for a main driver, i mean it just not done the work well

[@L-h-83TdIJL]

nah, the worst thing is battery can not last you a day and it support 7 years. I don't want to stuck with a phone with 2020 chipset, terrible battery life and 33w charging for almost a decade. Holy crap !!! Google showoffs their software on a phone, but only for someone who can really get benefit with it. If u r a regular people, you can not go wrong with iphone or samsung.@@iAfroTech
