Google Pixel 8 Pro Review: Genuinely Impressed!

[@V25Nguyen]

You're one of the best reviewers out there. Detailed, honest and into the function of the phone. That's the thing we need. Not some paid and rich one who bragging about their liking

[@babaawawu3156]

Knowing how critical and in depth you can be with your reviews, the fact that you're impressed says a lot about what Google has achieved with the 8 series

[@XeZrunner]

That is how it should be!

[@S3verance]

The Pixel 8 took me by surprise ngl, I thought it would be identical to the 7p

[@rolins3279]

He's a pro-Pixel, which makes it very difficult to trust him when it comes to Pixels, he's too biased in favor of Pixels when it comes to photo-video and software.

[@babaawawu3156]

@@rolins3279 As much as he loves Pixels, he's one of the biggest critics of these devices. You'd know that if you've followed his channel long enough. You need to check out his long term reviews of the Pixel 6 & 7. As far as I know, he's also the only KZbin that thoroughly goes through Android software updates and Google app updates to spot changes and bugs. Biased is the last thing you'd call him. I know what Pixel fanboys sound like. He's not one

[@SanguinePink]

​@@rolins3279he literally has comparisons on screen to prove why he feels this way. At least you can choose for yourself what looks better to you.

[@d.carter3850]

It's amazing how much more you can learn about how a phone performs when you actually test its features. So many other reviewers read the spec sheet or press release but never actually use the features for themselves in a rush to be first to release their "reviews". Thank you for taking the time to do it the right way. Please keep up the great work!

[@Jo5ue1]

I second this comment. Tech communities love to hate on the Pixel because it’s so popular and it looks cool to hate it. Yet Pixel fans know the experience is the only thing that matters.

[@IDTR]

I got goose bumps, thanks for the amazing comment.

[@jonesnyirenda]

You never disappoint. Your content is unique & unbiased

Came within 5 minutes if the notification, wouldn't miss your take on the Pixel 8 Pro for anything in the world!! Keep at it, bro!🤝

You can't convince me there is a better review for a phone out there!! I've never thought I would be a fan of reviews channel but damn u totally deserve it👏🏻👏🏻 If there is ever a course for reviewing something , this is what should be taught fr

[@IDTR]

Man you're the best

[@JamesG007]

Next-level, unbiased, high quality, detailed and straight to the point review as always. Huge fan!

[@DSTWizz]

This is exactly what a review should look like. Side by side comparisons with the competition, analysis of each feature pointing out the differences, and without bias. Excellent work, Emad. Hopefully Google are listening, and that they will attempt to make the improvements you suggest with future updates. Thanks for putting in the hours on these videos - they are very useful.

[@CobbyRocky]

I totally I agree with you.

[@msaw504]

Great review. It was much more comprehensive than others I have seen on KZbin so far. I had a few questions though such as: - whether we can record 4k 60 fps for extended periods of time or not? - is heating still an issue especially while recording videos? - would it negatively affect our experience in a major way if we don't keep max resolution to extend battery life?

[@IDTR]

Thanks for the amazing comment - For the 4k60 it does exceed 1h indoors and I stopped it myself not because of heat but I didn't test it in hot weather for that long as it's spring here but under the sun which is still hot, it did work really well with mixed usage photos and videos for 2H straight. - For the resolution I tested with the 6 Pro as far as I remember and it was 1% difference per hour between HD and QHD

[@XisrRein]

The best tech KZbinr 👏👏👏 (first!)

[@NOLATechy]

Thank you for your honest and detailed tech review. Other tech reviewers tend to lean more or less on details that promote their favorite brand over others. You are honest and point out the flaws as well as the highlights of all the devices. If more tech reviewers would be as honest and detailed about what they're reviewing, perhaps Google Pixel phones market share would significantly increase allowing Google to spread the brand to more countries faster. I have owned every XL and Pro model Pixel phone since the original Pixel XL and am well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of all models. I can honestly say, from a Google Pixel phone owner's point of view, the Google Pixel 8 series is the best Pixel phone to date! Great video! Really enjoyed viewing! Keep them coming!

[@IDTR]

Really glad to hear that from a long-term Pixel owner and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts

[@bloodraven431]

Mrwhosetheboss gave a title 'problems' on his pixel review video. That's how top KZbinrs like him controlling the market.

[@RajanSinghRajput07]

Overwhelmed to see how far the pixels have come. This is coming from a proud Pixel user and you are simply the best Emad❤ #TeamPixel

[@jackwilson5542]

Yeah last year they were pretty mediocre, but this year Google has hit the bullseye. Sure the chip is a little bit behind SD 8 Gen 2, but that won't matter in 99% of situations. (The A17 is a disaster in the real world usage- comes down to luck, some can't even get 5 hours of SOT/overheat/throttle, whilst others do fine but noone should be forced to play lottery when buying a new phone)

[@RashidAlawadhi]

Glad to hear about all the improvements especially the thermal management. My Pixel 6 used to simply not charge in the car with our weather here in the UAE. Glad to see Google did something about it for the Pixel 8. Thanks for the review!

[@roshan002]

Your reviews are unparalleled in quality and testing. You are my favorite reviewer by far. Keep up the great work!

[@TheFurymaker]

this is a proper review, not some lazy ass comparison based on few days of usage on pre-release software, you even went a step further with the qpr beta which is a step further in fine tuning the experience. Pixels are probably best tuned devices out there, maybe they don't offer as many features as some other android devices or the best hardware, but they give you the absolute maximum polish overall. I've been using one for 2 weeks now, been pretty happy with it once I switched from initial messing stage to actual day to day life mode. There are so many aspects of pixel phones that improve my daily life, typing, camera, translate options (kind of a big deal for me since I use 3 different languages every single day), etc. It improves my life in ways other phones simply can't do. I would love if Pixels had snapdragon 8gen3 and offer max performance on demand, but even like this it doesn't affect any aspect of my life so far. Now it will be fun to see in december feature drop brings us night sight in videos, zoom enhancement, bard and what not and how does all that stack up with 8gen3 flagship phones that will come from now till January.

[@IDTR]

I do share the same experience, the features that really help not staying there for the count and am super excited for December.

[@alexandrosel1131]

The wait is over. I was waiting for your review since it is one of the few I trust. What I suspected was confirmed: pixel 8 and 8pro is the best smartphones out there and pixel 8 my next one!

[@BoomBoomBrucey]

I've seen a lot of people say if you have a Pixel 7 Pro you don't need to upgrade to the Pixel 8 Pro, and while this is technically true, as it's true for anyone that has a working phone doesn't need to really upgrade if it's doing what you need it to do. The actual quality of the P8 Pro is so much better than the P7 Pro, I have been using pixels since the P3 and I have only ever been truly impressed by the 3 and the 5... 7 was a great step in the right direction but the 8 is now officially my favourite phone... Ever. Which might not mean much to most people but it's high praise from me I assure you.

[@ps_dhanush]

Most underrated KZbinr, really appreciate the effort

[@reggierizaev]

You showed clearly the limits of the phone , and compared them with the ones of other flagships! This my favourite Pixel review!

You truly live up to your channel title of in-depth reviews. Thank you for your hard work in providing this great coverage.

[@miguelconstantinio2602]

This is probably the best review I've seen, itcovers very important areas for the end user. Only thing I found myself when moving from the seven pro to the 8 pro is that in HDR indoors that the eight pro is darker with shadow detail. Especially if you watch something like stranger things or Wednesday or Netflix or just look at some KZbin HDR videos. On your review it does look brighter which makes me think mine is possibly faulty. I did compare it also to a store demo model and that was identical to the eight pro I got. So I just assumed it was the same for all eight pros until I saw your review.

[@fiddlefiver]

I think that's the most in depth video I've seen. Amazing job 🎉

[@Ogura_Tech]

You did an awesome job!!! Can't wait for my Pixel 8 Pro

[@vasudevmenon2496]

This is the first pixel flagship in years which didn't have much issues. I was skeptical about pixels when i first bought 4a and now went with pixel 7. Can you check if pixel 8 has more recent modem or baseband version newer than September? I saw pixel 7 get the same September version with qpr1 beta 2, ofc the build id was different. I believe Google has sorted out the connectivity issues on 5300 modem but the newer firmware isn't applied on older model until December/Jan 23 feature drop.I never had much hopes on thermals, display and modems on pixel 8 series but they surely showed me.😂😂 I wonder if Tsmc or in house SoC development for future tensor SoC the gains should be more.

[@bonnyonat]

Hands down the best in depth review in You Tube! Keep up the good work bro!

[@jimv1983]

Thank you so much for the in depth review on battery life. You spent a minute and a half on better life when most over reviewers only spend like 10 seconds on. You also mentioned usage on mobile data vs wifi while others either only use wifi for reviews or don't mention it at all. Unfortunately I can't really agree that the battery life is impressive. Either way, great review.

[@icardoso8]

As always, the best reviews when it comes to smartphones. Really in debt and you descontruct a lot of "marketing features" that brands try to sell us. Being said, I have a question I would love to hear your opinion: - Do you feel that it's better to use the 50mp when it comes to photos? The use case it's just social media and photos do keep memories. I have an 256gigas 8pro, and I always was a desbeliever for high Mps because I always felt that the photos algorithm was always better using the 12Mps. But in your review, it seems to been on pair/even better on 50Mps.

[@IDTR]

Thanks for the amazing comments: The 50MP of the 8 Pro is great with all lenses and there's a big difference in quality but the size could be an issue if you kept using it all the time, for me I use it for the moments the matter the most but other than this am happy with the 12MP too

[@icardoso8]

Thank you vert much for your perspective. Have a great week ;) @@IDTR

[@Evan_Fwenchy]

In my early use i am finding the 50MP is slower to get the shot so if your trying to picture a child/pet the 12MP is easily the way to go. Static scene then yes definitely use the higher res@@IDTR

[@Shooting-Up]

This is the best review I've ever seen on anything!!! Thanks

[@aryaray42]

Such deep insights, great! Though I would like to add that if you capture human portrait with the normal 5X telephoto lens mode and then add background blur to it, it matches DSLR level human photography and background separation.

[@IDTR]

I tried that, but not the same, usually Google photos misses to blur the areas between arms

[@aryaray42]

@@IDTR Yes, even though it's relatively lower in percentage nowadays and that's why I said "portraits" i.e. the upper portion of the body or face only photos of human subjects.

Gcam comparison with all pixel phones would be🔥

[@jameouszhang4104]

I have been using Pixel phones since Pixel 5. I conclude that Pixel 8 Pro is the TRUE flagship phone Google had ever made. Although I prefer Android, I still rated the iPhone as the best smart phone every year. BUT this year, I literally have no reason to be jealous of iPhone users. It's mind blowing🤯 Except for the optical fingerprint sensor, I have nothing to complaint about this phone, not even a tiny bit. I had never expected Google to make a phone that is so close to (or even better than) an iPhone. At the same time, I am kinda worried. Pixel 8 pro is so good already, how much improvement can Google make on the Pixel 9 Pro?

[@cocosquijazzchannel]

It's all about AI from here, I reckon. Things move fast these days, I'm excited for what's ahead regarding this field.

[@kpehe100]

I prefer the slightly curved screen of the 7 Pro. I don't like flat screen

[@umm2012]

What case is that in your video? Great video btw best one I have seen on youtube tbh 🙏🏼

[@TimBrownTown]

I agree with you on many points. Most interestingly, I believe the Temperature Sensor may have originally been a Lidar Sensor that got removed to meet the $999 price point after the designs were sent out to the case manufacturers with the hole for the sensor. Next, I also prefer the curved screens but believe some major influencers ruined that one.

[@Jo5ue1]

I find it so fascinating how other KZbinrs when comparing the Pixel 8 Pro vs the 15 Pro Max how much they spend and emphasize the Portrait modes knowing that the 15 Pro Max does a better job than the Pixel 8 Pro, and really don't talk about other areas where the Pixel 8 Pro beats the iPhone. I for one don't use portrait mode as much as how these pay KZbinrs make us believe that people use this mode more often. The Pixel 8 Pro is the most hated phone in the world for no apparent reason..

[@IDTR]

Totally agree

[@ptwoods]

Thank you for this very detailed review! I also prefer the curved display of my p7pro even though initially I didn't like curved displays.
