TheUnlockr is more than just phone reviews to me-it's about exploring new destinations and diving into real-life adventures. Your choice of places, the brief history you share, and the genuine bloopers make your show truly human to me. If you ever branch out to reviewing cities and sharing your top coffee spots, I'd instantly hit that subscribe button. Safe journeys! But first, coffee!

[@epicmaster833]

Agree. I have been saying the same thing! All these elements just make his phone review authentic, instead of just sitting in the studio and telling people the stats that really don't explain the whole experience! So that's TheUnlocker is my goAt of phone review very underrated guy

[@achyutarjun]

I like how I get to learn history stuff while also watching aesthetic shots.

[@kapatiran07]

Yeah. I dont know if his reviews are unique might be there are other reviewers that does the same but i highly appreciate his contents. Detailed but casual enough for average users like me to understand. Along with mkbhd his channel is an automatic watch for me too

[@TheStreetMechanik]

That’s one of the reasons besides the review that makes his channel unique and more to watch. I’m glad he actually does it that way so now I have other places to explore when it’s time to eat, drink etc…

[@olliesangalang8103]

And what i love about his video reviews, besides all the aesthetic shots of the phone, history lessons, and location ideas, its that he takes his time on each of his reviews. be it samsung, iphone or google. Unlike another reviewer who spends 25 mins on an iphone and then 5-9 mins on other android phones. 🙄

[@the9-2-5outlawgamer]

Of all the review videos I've seen for the Google pixel 8, yours is more in depth and elaborate than others. I can't wait until I get mine in the mail. I am a person who does mobile videography semi-professional intermediate, and this would be a step up from the iPhone 6 S Plus I have that has a draining battery that cost $300 to replace. Eventually I'm going to get an iPhone 11 or above. So far I am enjoying your content. Keep it up! It's also nice that you are showcasing area businesses in your city.

[@TomUK7]

Love your unique review format. Tech has the stigma, rightly at times, of being isolating but you draw our attention to communities which thrive on ideas, co-operation and interaction. Great stuff. Also, I love the outtakes. You're smashing it!

[@user-ny6cf7nd1p]

I love your approach, it’s so unique. Not only are your reviewing the phone and sharing your thoughts but you’re talking about where you are and your surroundings and also giving talking informatively about the cameras etc - great job!

As per usual, your work is second to none. I love your RWT series, I watch them all! The Pixel 8 is my next phone.

Picked up the Pixel 8 for my daughters and they love them. Another great review and tour. Good to know I'm not the only person with a running dialog in my head. I do have "I'm not bitter, you're bitter" stuck in my head now.

[@yanni2737]

Love the phone. I would get the Pro if it had a smaller screen, but this one is still my top option compared to other similar priced devices. The AI features is something you really cannot find in the competition.

[@Charlotte-hr8li]

You have no idea how helpful this is. Reviewers only talk about the pro.... As if every consumer interested in the pixel wants the pro! You have a sub from me for the great format

I have the Pixel 8 pro, haven't delved into it quite yet, but taking point and shoot shots is pretty good, would like to see how setting manual features will enhance the pictures, also looking forward to shooting some vids. Thank you for your time.

Hey, great job on the video really like the way you review the phone. seems to me the P8P got a lot of upgrades for the hundred dollars headed to the price whereas the regular P8 didn’t get quite the same of hundred dollar upgrades like value for the hundred bucks more…

Best pixel 8 review. I clearly know if i should upgrade from thr 7 or not

[@Nathan_lee]

I opted for the 8 rather than the 8 pro for just 1 reason: Hazel. I love the color and it has far surpassed what i expected. I went from a 7 pro to 8 and find that the 8 is much brighter and an overall better phone

[@lenacheney]

How's your battery life?

[@coneypark]

Best reviews on KZbin.

[@Rosso488]

So I honestly don't think one is any better than the other. It's just amazing how far we've come in personal camera tech in cellphones even.

[@TheSwampStory]

Pixel 8- Am getting average of 6 hrs. Outdoor days with lot of camera, instgram and games it lasts like 5 hrs. But on wifi Instagram, yt and games easily lasts for 7 hrs +. I would totally recommend it. Only get hot during big backups or huge updates. Otherwise smooth .

great video!

No planes this video, that's an improvement!😁

Could you make a video explaining how to use the artificial intelligence features? I used the recorder, but I don't see the option to make the summary. I also don't see how it can read the page I'm visiting and answer questions about it

[@RoccoGallo]

i pre ordered the pixel 8 and returned it with in a few days, it felt too small compared to the 7, For some reason the 8pro feels much better compared to the 7pro, so i got the 8pro and so far its a great phone.

Does the battery get any better on the 8 once adaptive battery kicks in?

I don't understand why all these smartphone manufacturers are not making smaller screen versions for their flagmanes. Me and everyone I know are lacking for smaller screen new flagman smartphones. I do not change my old Samsung galaxy s7 because it was the last with reasonable screen size.

I think Zoom Enhance won't be available for the P8, only the Pro model

I only bought the 8 pro for their improvement on the video record. Then I returned the pixel 8 pro with free pixel watch 2. I already have a pixel 6 pro. I wanna go for a smaller phone this or s23?

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

S24 in 2 months. If rumors r true, u will have buyers remorse. I have 6a n 13 mini. Was gonna get s23 but s24 looks to be on another level. There is a chance that the trade ins will be great n if get the s23 on discount, u won’t lose money, assuming u crave s24. Just an idea. Btw, I returned my p8 with buds pro, lol.

No at all .. I have the pixel 7 and I think it will serve very will until the pixel 10 is here 😁 and then we will change to the Pixel 10

[@goodymeister]

The perfect demonstration of how phone features don't take you on life adventures, you do. Phones are just a tool that tag along. Do we really need to pay 1500 euros for the 'best ever', 'unforeseen', 'incredible' little upgrades? Or are there some phones out there who will help us navigate just as fine for every day usage? Your day might turn out to be so great, you'll forget about your phone (ideally). P.S: I sold my new Apple Watch after only 3 months. I figured the sport activities I do are just as REAL without a gadget telling me I did it. Now I feel better while training. Oh, and a 100 euros Garmin could have easily done the same things the new AW did. With a cute app on top.

Looking at the pixel 7 & 8 pictures+videos, I can clearly conclude that I won't be upgrading to Pixel 8. I mean it's a lil handy & have a few more AI features that will be dropped to Pixel 7 very soon. Good phone but not worth upgrading.

Is it just me or the video on the pixel 8 main camera is a bit jerky?

[@nomanCyclewala]

just a minor correction. APS-C is a 1.5x crop to a Full frame. Micro 4/3rd is more of an accurate comparison when we try to compare for the centre crop as it is 2x crop of a full frame.

[@rddubbwright6283]

Pixel gotta step up but their battery life that's their biggest flaw

[@deepfxd8]

I don't think it's 3nm 15:17

[@Jthall1990]

As much as I love my Pixel 7 the battery is just absolutely horrible and the 8 isn't any better. You think with Google creating Android and being a software company that could figure out the battery life. When other companies get way better battery life out of their phones. Pixel should be ashamed of themselves.

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

This! One of the reasons my P8 went back. Samsung n apple already have great performance n battery life bc of chip n optimization. How does google warrant a price increase, after producing inferior p6/7 performance n only making minor improvements to G3? Always feels like ur settling in someway with a pixel.

[@androguyy]

It doesn't matter about being the creator of Android because Google delivering the best Android optimization still stays true, the "only" culprit is its Tensor SOC being fabbed by Samsung, this is literally the only thing that's causing battery to not be as good as Snapdragon equipped phones, nothing more nothing less. If Pixels had the SD8Gen2, hands down It would've been the longest lasting Android phone. You may also say that's not your problem and I'm only saying this since you mentioned Software and software can only go so much with inferior hardware.

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

@@androguyy yup. But they don’t use it. Look how well every phone that uses SD8G2 performs. They have a history of making baffling decisions. The most important component of the phone for battery life, performance, efficiency, heat management n they cheap out. Also, whoever is responsible for the fps on pixel 6 should be incarcerated, lol. These decisions, turns many people off to pixel. Not hating, I have a pixel but if ur gonna increase the price, for no reason I can see, then put a good chip in n maybe an ultrasonic fps.

[@androguyy]

@@hhhmmmmmmmm That's indeed true and doesn't give Google any excuses yeah but besides the hit to particularly "battery life" (though the 8 series is actually pretty decent now) and inferior thermals, having owned most flagship phones, Pixel still runs smoother and better than other OEMs which again comes back to Google still exceling with its software game, user experience is while it is personal preference, class leading in my opinion.

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

@@androguyy good point. I think I’ll always have a pixel, even if only A series. S24 very intriguing. Prob keep my 13 mini til it dies, I love the form factor. Gonna need all 3 to be truly happy, lol.
