I had the Google Pixel XL 2, still love the photos I took with that beast! I'm back on Team Pixel with the 8 Pro this year, its even more amazing!

[@macrochipped]

Honestly crazy how far the Pixel has come in just 2 years. Also hit the nail on the head on why the S21 Ultra has been so hard for me to let go of, because it feels so good in the hand.

[@moe1203]

Pixel 8 pro is a really good phone to use as a tool. It fits in my pocket with no issues and feels really comfortable in my hands. I treat this phone as my personal assistant. Done are the days where I spend hours upon hours customizing.

[@chasrifflord]

Yeah I have to agree the pixel 8 pro is a great phone I used to be a Samsung and iPhone user only and I picked up the 8 pro about a month ago and I absolutely just love this phone it's so incredible that I actually bought the pixel watch 2 and the pixel buds pro and I just love how they all work so well together

[@diegolegend4456]

I did the same thing !! The phone the buds and the watch. They all so pure !! Never had a pixel and I think I might be staying 💯🔥

[@adamschulte5903]

I have a 7 Pro and the updates in the last few months have made the phone run very smooth. Zero hiccups. I can only imagine how smooth the 8 Pro runs. I love the design of the 7 Pro, also. Very underrated and unique.

[@electrology]

I loved my 7 Pro but it developed a screen flickering issue and I traded it in for an 8 Pro. I really like the Pixel phones ... One thing that is long overdue is material theme working on all app icons. As you see in the video, all icons except the Bible app are themed. It's been a long time.

[@adamschulte5903]

@@electrology One of the more recent updates got rid of that screen flickering issue. Mine was doing it last summer, but then quit doing it altogether. And yes, the icon theming won't be complete until all of the app developers get on board with it. It's a waiting game for us.

Wild how far ive came with phones. I've been watching you since the ZTE V8 Blade Pro days lol.

[@5150crazyfun]

People have criticized the performance on the 8 and 8 pro but from everything I've seen they look amazing. I also agree I prefer the design of the 8 series over the s24 series. The 8 pro in particular looks sleek hardware wise over the s24 ultra that is big, boxy and heavy. In alot of ways I even prefer the new Pixel design over the iPhone 15s. It all comes down to personal preference but I am leaning towards getting the 8 later because I like the compact size and that sharp Hazel color.

[@Dalmado]

I have both the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Google pixel 8 Pro and I just love how the pixel feels in my hand. It is smooth and slick. Operating system works great, it’s fast and I love the photography that this phone produces! still love my iPhone, 15 Pro max and the video from that phone! The Google Pixel 8 Pro is my daily driver 😎

[@JackHackett1]

What’s the battery life like between the two devices

[@HolloVVpoint]

I have the pixel 8pro also in addition to the iPhone 15 pro max and the S24 ultra, and the P8P is the worst in terms of battery life in my experience by some margin. The iPhone being the best with the s24 ultra being slightly behind. I’m a heavy user as I use my phone for work, I get up around 6ish and still have around 30% around 11pm on the iPhone, (that includes phone calls, emails, messaging on signal and WhatsApp, photos and KZbin at nighttime) . But will have to recharge my pixel around 7/8pm with the same usage.

[@therealboogie23]

Exactly, but I have a Legion go so why would I want to game on a phone? I always laugh when I read "not a phone to game on lol" what real gamers are worried about what a phone can do? Now a phone being able to use as a "console" like if Samsung can do it with Dex and or the "iPhone" being able to play Resident Evil on a TV is something only the future holds but gaming on a phone nahhhh. I skipped the s24U and kept my 23U and tried the 8 pro and it's fire I don't even mess the extra Samsung stuff at all yet. Way more polished android!

[@thetrainerdusk2942]

@@therealboogie23 FACTS! Legion Go, Steam decks and Switches are far superior for the on the go gaming. Also almost any phone can use apps live GeForce Now and AMD Link. And they don't really kill the battery anymore than watching videos. Mobile gaming isn't super popular in western countries but I get why people would want their Fortnite, Genshin, PubG and Cod Mobile to work on flagships. For me though I'd rather be home at my PC or use Legion go.

Hey man i deff fell in love with the pixel after having the pixel 6a, i got the 8 pro. But it was nice having a smaller phone at times so i just got the samsung galaxy flip 5 and its perfect. Small screen for most use and open it up if you want the full screen. Flip phones with nice displays may be the way to go now

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

It is a great phone and I loved mine. EXCEPT the USB output isn't compatible with all USB DAC/Amps for wired IEM and headphones and also the USB isn't compatible for a lot of USB-C external microphones. Being a content creator that reviews audio equipment and uses a USB-C external microphone, that was a major issue. I depend on my phone to do everything as a content creator and the Pixel 8 Pro failed me so I upgraded to the Samsung S24 Ultra and have none of those issues with USB.

[@PhilZwick]

I got a Pixel 8 Pro this week and am very pleased with it. I do find it slippery to hold without a case as it is very comfortable in my hand. I do not see a case on yours, so you do not find it slippery to use, say taking photos especially?

[@mikldude9376]

Everyone likes what they like , for me I was always a dyed. In the wool galaxy note boy starting with the note 2 , back in the days when samsung was all about maximum features and making the do all be all phones , then Sammy changed and wanted to be the apple of android , and started degrading the S series phones , removing features , galaxy note 9 was my last and favourite galaxy which i still have and rotate in my phone usage, I did have some other android phones G5 , nexus 6p , Huawei p30 pro , , then the iPhone 12 series came out and i gave that a go for the first time ever using an apple device (bloody near killed me ) , i hated it for the first 3 months IOS that is , i liked the hardware , bought an ipad , since bought the 14 pro max , also have the pixel 8 pro , and while i`m not and have not been a pixel fan , and even after buying it wasnt blown away , i have to say it growing on me . Its not perfect ( and no phone is ) , the Face ID sucks in poor light and is utterly useless at night , the finger print sensor is like a metal worker it often goes on strike and just is very hit and miss on my unit at least , and we all prefer certain things , I like big wide devices which are better on the eyes for looking at everything , and more size and width gives old farts with big clumsy mechanics Hands a bit less pain using the keyboard which is so frustrating when you have chunky fingers and tiny keys , so i wouldnt mind if it was wider in the next model. General performance in most cases is ok,its sorta weird that in some areas like camera processing it can be a bit on the slow side where even my iPhone 12 Pro leaves it for dead , but in other areas like loading apps often it is truly blistering fast ,all things weighed up , i still like it and i agree google is heading in the right direction , i also hope they dont lose the camera bar on the back.

I've had my pixel 8 Pro Bay since it dropped and I've had my S24 plus Since Jan 26th.

[@daclock012]

I personally like to run emulators especially Switch emulator, and the Tensor is not fir that nor for heavy gaming, so I would rather go with a full package phone like the S23U or a cheaper option like the Honor Magic 6 Pro, great camera, SD gen3 with 12gb ram for almost the same price as The Pixel 8 Pro

[@AllLove0307]

Yeah I'd prefer SD8Gen2 or 3 for switch emulation but Tensor 3 can do it. It just can't be super intensive on the GPU like say Pokemon Violet or something with a vast 3D world. Zelda? Forget it lol. Every other emulator it handles very well, thanks to the devs for optimizing their apps for it. It's really the best Pixel that Google has made since maybe the 5a. I wonder if Google can work with TSMC and tailor the Tensor to work with Adreno GPU and still have all of their AI magic and personal assisting capabilities

Here's the deal I really need your help with this guys cause I'm really struggling. I'm having a really difficult time with Apple right now I have all their products I have the Apple Watch Ultra which I really like probably my favorite Apple product and then I have my iPhone 15 Pro Max Win terabyte I have a MacBook Pro I have a 2018 iPad Pro Still works great but here's my issue. There's no multitasking on my phone which is killing me and my iPhone 15 Pro Max feels exactly like my iPhone 13 Pro Max, which felt like my iPhone 11 felt like my iPhone X and so many ways. I don't know if I'm going crazy, but it's really hard to buy the same phone over and over again and Siri is complete garbage and I really want company is going to lean into AI and also lean into strong features like multitasking and things that Samsung is doing and I think someone said it when they said Apple wants to sell you multiple products so if they make one product better than the other product, you might just buy one product. I feel that way about the iPhone if it were as good as the Samsung phones with multitasking in AI maybe wouldn't buy that tablets me know your thoughts I'm just getting bored with Apple and I feel like they never really innovate that much and I'm use all their default apps because I try to support the stock situation but I really find myself bored. Let me know if you can help me through this, I wonder if I should get a Samsung S24 ultra or S25 ultra down the line to feel something different. Have you guys ever felt this way here's another thing voice texting on iPhone is painful. I remember having android phones and really appreciating how accurate the voice texting was that actually actually bumps me out about Apple to. Also, how can you sell? A premium smartphone has to have such a terrible assistant. Siri literally feels like they just forgot and literally don't care anymore. Thoughts 💭 make it make sense I didn't wanna leave Apple, but I feel like apples leaving me and it's really hard to make sense of it all right now.

You sound like me, I'm in exactly the same situation. I have bought bigger the samsung ans the pixel to try, and will return one.
