I’ve been a pretty die hard Pixel user until the 8 (vanilla). The hardware problems I had were unacceptable. Battery that doesn’t last a day, bad signal, overheating and numerous bugs is unacceptable at this price point. I don’t have much faith the 9 will be much better.

I bought a "renewed" Pixel 8 Pro despite the battery life and fingerprint sensor complaints also noted on this video. 1) But if you aren't a phone gamer the battery life is fine. I am up and about at 9AM and by 11PM I still have 35-40% remaining. Sure, compared to the Snapdragon "2 day" batteries, it's less. But I have no problem with the Pixel 8 Pro's battery life. 2) The fingerprint sensor: brother, maybe you need to trade in your fingers? I have not experienced a single read failure since I have had this phone for 3 weeks now. And a side note, I have owned a couple of Samsung Galaxy Ultras. Their ultrasonic reader is more launch hype than noticeable difference in practice and in my experience. Even the OnePlus optical fingerprint sensor is just as fast. I don't see the vast superiority on the Samsung's they have claimed.

This is the stupidest take I've ever seen. Trade in your fingers? I registered my same finger twice and the performance still sucked. The battery life does suck, maybe if you hardly use your phone at all it's fine. The performance is bad, you just haven't used the phone long enough to notice it is my guess. Overall, this is all wrong.

You indeed cannot disable it completely or the search widget. However I could not care more. The camera is the best part of the phone and it is truly amazing. The overall experience is the most smooth feeling I have ever felt an a phone with the most fluid animations. If you care about the camera and a very nice software experience filled with ai I recommend this phone

I’m a Pixel fan but ever since the 6 lineup started with Tensor, it’s been mostly the same issues. It surely cannot be this hard for Google, a software company, to get their software and even the hardware right. To make matters worse, they raised their prices too and continue having the same problems. Unless you just want a new Pixel now and can’t wait, I’d say wait for the 10 lineup. That’ll be the earliest one to buy that might fix these issues since TSMC will be handling the fabrication of the Tensor chip. Even then, I still suspect they’ll have bugs and glitches to work out. Google has lost many customers because they can’t get their act together and sell reliable phones. These days even Motorola is a more reliable phone to get and despite lesser support, you can customize it way more. It’s like having a Pixel without issues or limitations.

Although my S24 can do more and is more powerful, I almost feel overwhelmed with the amount of customization i CAN do. Most features I use on my S24 are available on my Pixel.

I've been using the pixel 8 since November and this review is absolutely spot on I've had issues with the g3 as it gets hot during normal use or just a video call, it can get choppy and unresponsive. The cameras are good but video is average. The modem imo is awful and the my biggest gripe is the brightness it suddenly goes very low. So after 5 minutes in the sun the phone is at 60% brightness and you can tell the screen got dim. The pixel 9 pro is a make or break for me if it doesn't improve performance, battery and signal I'll be switching to an iPhone 16 pro

A trick that works wonderfull for me: - register both thumbs alternating as 1 finger. "Alternating" means Left-Right-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R during registering. - both thumbs work and the sensor works perfectly for a day until your probing thumb is wet for example - register those both wet thumbs immidiatly as a 2nd finger - the sensor works perfectly for a week until your probing thumb is dry - register those both dry thumbs immidiatly as a 3rd finger - the sensor works perfectly for a month until your probing thumb is dirty - register those both dirty thumbs immidiatly as a 4th finger Done! The sensor works perfectly 99.9% of the time!

Wow thank you! Finally a real review of this thing. My pixel 8 was awful. The constant stuttering and lag was so noticable that it was unpleasant to use. I too wanted to customize and had the same issues with root. Battery life was dog crap, by only 7-8pm I had 10% left so I'd have to charge up before I went out. The camera wasn't even that good, low light performance was awful, the pictures just became a blob. I never used any of the AI features either except for the call screening but even that was crappy because it would always announce to callers "hey you are being recorded" and then the CS rep would hang up!! God completely poor execution on googles part, do not buy these phones.

You're spot on with the Video Boost. Almost completely useless as it currently stands. In the few times I've tested it, the output is genuinely much better than normal video. But the limitations on it are too great and as you say you have to remember to enable it every flipping time. Stand by for built in video boost in the Pixel 9. Which is what it should have been in the first place. So half-assed by Google.

I switched to Oneplus 12 after Pixel 7 Pro, used it for 2 weeks, currently waiting for Pixel 8 Pro to arrive. I think that says it all. The scroll bug on Oneplus is annoying as hell. Even if the battery life is good, I charge the phone every day anyway, so what difference does it make if at the end of the day it's 40% or 20%? Camera compared to Pixel is nowhere, it's a waste to argue... I'll stick with the Pixel. What I use it for is much better than the Oneplus.

I still don't understand the allure of a pixel phone. I missed your initial review, but you nailed it. It is a midrange device. The pricing, processor, 128 mb storage, lack of customization, and "stock" android make it a pretender of a flagship device. That's too many compromises. It does have some great features, but as a package it falls short. There is a reason that it has a 2% market share. I don't know one single person that owns a pixel device.

Yes, if Google does not release the Call Screening feature here in Singapore, which I've been waiting since the 3XL this upcoming feature drop, I will be letting my 8 Pro go and moving on to other Phones like Samsung, which have their version of Call Screening available here.. Ball is in your court Google.. Good phone but many of it's good features only available elsewhere but Singapore..

You don't need a pixel phone to experience pixel. If you just like the software then buy a phone which has great custom rom support and you will be good to go for years. If you live in a hot country like India do not buy pixels because they heat up like crazy and when a pixel heats up it doesn't let you open camera and that is the selling point of a pixel, it's cameras not the software because you can get it for free (custom rom).

ye the pixel launcher truly needs some rework or they need to make gestures work well for third party apps in 1969 they went to the moon with 4KB of RAM yet in 2024 we can't have proper gesture support for third party apps

Had to ditch it because the battery life is atrocious. Off charge at 7am, dead by 5pm. Not acceptable in 2024. Phone itself lovely, cameras fantastic, but if it can't get to midnight from 6am using it for texts, bit of music and social then it's a fail. Switched to the S24 Ultra, at 5pm I have 85% left.

Goggle is pissing me off as usual. Almost every phone on the market has surpassed the Pixel. Battery life, charging speed, performance, and camera is falling behind the competition. Every year the snapdragon is getting better, but Google wants to stick with generic Tensor.

I cannot believe Google still hasn't sorted out their finger print sensors. I still own the 6 and the sensor has always been total garbage and the worst part of the phone. I won't upgrade until Google sorts this out in their future devices.

To base your phone purchase off a fingerprint issue is kind of extreme. There are more important experiences on a phone than just a fingerprint sensor lol. Software and battery life is what makes the phone lol.
