How is the network connectivity on both 4G and 5G in Pixel 8. Are there any call drops ? Asking because network related issues were widely reported for pixel 7 series

[@Abishek_1988]

Same as before as they are sharing the identical modem

[@Richard1976]

Saw the side by side earlier. The pros of pixel looked great but the cons weight heavier for me. Therefore chose the iphone15 .

[@Richard1976]

@6asileus pixel8 is very sluggish with the photo editing mode. The pro has pro mode and the normal doesn't. . Same cpu and same camera. Transistion between lenses is laggy, video blurring and stability issues, heat issues, i dont like the ai customization. You make a picture what never happened. And altough they give 7 year updates I'm thinking how long the pixel 8 will hold up well. It's not the quickest phone. Ai editing pictures need to be on the cloud.

[@Richard1976]

@6asileus indeed sd2 would have been lot better.

[@fever0]

Great review as always. If only Apple comes up with higher refresh display next year and USB 3.2 it would probably be the best in the segment.

[@bhushanramdham]

And if they add little bit multitasking features in iOS. Atleast background upload and download should work 🥲

[@soumyadas9939]

They won't cause that's the only way to differentiate between the pro and non pro variant. They will never bring the non pro features close to the pro ones

[@fever0]

@@soumyadas9939 I agree partially. But that’s what few thought about the dynamic island last year. My take: 1. ProMotion getting upgraded to 144Hz (or above) and non-pro models getting 120Hz 2. non-pro models gets 60-120Hz variable refresh

Essentially they are both very good devices, all boils down to which ecosystem one prefers . Id personally buy either, although the pixel is around £200 cheaper

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

I LOVE Pixel software. But as you say, it's only $100 cheaper than the iPhone. Yesterday, I was on a video call, and I minimized the call to do some searches on Chrome. The phone started to choke. I tried the same on my wife's iPhone 13 and the whole process flew. It's things like this that make me want to switch to the iPhone.

[@GOKZ888]

[@gantonayde]

This is my first time watching your videos, and I must say, your method of comparing the two phones is excellent and focuses on the crucial points. Great job! At 2:39, when you displayed the photos, but only the iPhone image appeared overexposed, although we later see it's not. I'm guessing this is due to the HDR in iOS Photos. Does the P8 offer ultra HDR? And is that feature supported by the display, or is it exclusive to the P8P?

[@_arorarohit_]

Pixel 8 also supports ultra hdr.

[@sandiepyaadav]

Superb comparison. Simple yet on point! Based on your videos, this time, I decided to go with iPhone 14 and it's been 4 days and I think every passing day, I appreciate it's battery life and fluidity. It is a learning curve since I have been an Android user. But I could relate a lot of things which you said about iPhone. Thanks for the video, Rohit! :D

Still pondering over the thought as my window to accept the delivery for the 8 closes tomorrow, coupled with the olive green Google case. I guess it's a want - not a need ;)

Hii... Watching this on my Pixel 6 😊, but lately, the camera's been a letdown. Photos turn out darker and more unrealistic than ever before. Also, dealing with a pesky USB-C port issue-keeps saying 'Liquid or debris in port' despite my best efforts. Sadly, these issues have made me decide that I won't be buying another Pixel phone anymore, and I'm considering switching to iPhone instead.

Do you recommend pixel 8 this time in Indian condition?? i want to buy one...

[@ÆßV]

Well, it's just a marketing gimmick that face ID is more secure. Secondly, you can adjust the depth and blur to improve the edge detection in portrait mode in photos app. Lastly, the cameras on Pixel 8 are not polished and it'll improve substantially after a month or so...typical of Google. In my case, Pixel 8 pro had better network connectivity... although S23U obliterates both pixel 8 pro and my iphone 15 in network connectivity. Btw, the performance difference between A16 and Tensor G3 is marginal unless you're into heavy gaming. Android 14 and Pixel 8's will get smoother down the line. Cheers 🥂

[@amitkathe25]

I want you to make special comparison video on pixel vs ios/iPhone, especially on overall smoothness, animations and Ul pleasing experience....I am sure just like me many other viewers would like to see that as on KZbin there are not many videos particularly on smoothness,user experience.... smoothness battle -Best of Android software vs ios ...that would be great

Great video Rohit, bdw just moved to IOS for the first time, I’m really impressed.

[@inDepthReviewsMalayalam]

I loved your review, in fact this is better than many international reviewers and is more practical. Yes i also had Pixel 6a and iphone 13 pro and has noticed that 5G doesnt get a good coverage on my Pixel whereas with Jio on iphone i get 5g in most places where Pixel 6a didnt show 5G. In fact i realised 6a supports 5g very lately only for this reason. Anotehr thing most reviewers miss out is that iPhone supports HEIF, and its half the size of JPG. Pixel doesnt support it. . So basically you can buy a 128 GB iPhone while u buy 256 gb pixel. And yes most of the processing on Pixel is done online, while iPhone has AI with offline photos too. You can search for images locally and its blazing fast. Elastic search, it searches as you type.
