Pixel 8 is the smoothest transition for iPhone users

I had every iphone since the very first one and I just switched to pixel 8 yesterday. The learning curve is dramatic but I have to agree with your comments about how good the pixel 8 is.

[@nickchkheidze9189]

is pixel 8 better than iph 15?

[@Windsurfing345]

Notifications are better, you don't need to open the pay app to pay, just present the phone from the lockscreen, you can share any images from any apps just by sliding it on the share button. You don't need to make a screenshot of the screen and select the part you want to send. Gestures are better, Google assistant can read any web pages aloud and many More

[@thesamuelnam]

I've used both 15 pro and Pixel 8. 15 pro is just as good if not better in some cases (airdrop, video quality, log shooting, app quality) but the pixel 8 is literally $1000 cheaper and does many things better than the 15 pro (screen call, Google assistant, photo editing ai, copy paste drawer, multi tasking) if money wasn't an issue. I'd get both 15 pro and Pixel 8 ​@@nickchkheidze9189

True, there are different factors that play in, but to me , the pixel is a better value compared to the 15. I tried out pixel 8 because the iphone 15 would have just been a newer version of iphone 13 just with dynamic island and a "updated design". iOS and Android are great, guess it just depends on your flavor of OS.

Nice videos, you seem like a good person!

That phone felt like an iPhone running Android....then I was told pixels own the android OS... that's why the OS feels super optimised coz it's meant for pixels...that's how Google meant for the OS to be....am still collecting money to acquire a pixel atleast a 6 cos mane that's the phone I dreamt about for yrs not knowing it existed....

Using both Samsung and Pixel, just that animation thing is great, but I still prefer Samsung because of screen quality, speakers, S pen, zoom capability, build quality, photo album app, Sound Assistant, (alows you to use audio of multiple apps at the same time), One Hand Operation+ and so on. I also do have an iPhone, but I use it just because of Airdrop. Maybe you are just too obsessed with Apple and can only accept something similar to it which is Team Pixel.

[@Phaedrus8109]

Fun review! I think the one area the Pixel 8 could really improve is battery drain - standby drain through the night is in the realm of 1-1.3% per hour which I think is pretty poor (ideally I would expect something like 0.5% or less), combined with a pretty fast drop in regular use, especially on 5G. Not sure if the Big G can improve/ fix this via software update, or is it deeper in the G3 hardware?

[@fishc0p89]

I think, they can still get this fixed via an update. It's more about an adjustment on how much battery the apps and system are training, rather than the chip. At least, I've been pretty alright with the battery. Don't know if they fixed that in an update over the last two months, but yeah.

[@AJRadaza]

In battery standby test you did, the phone was just a day from factory. It ate battery during standby because it was doing it's background optimization. After a few days of using your Pixel 8, it will blow out both Zenfone and iPhone in battery.

I do miss certain things about the iPhone like the amazing speakers and the heavenly bass but I much prefer the Pixel 8 Pro for the rest especially the photo editor and the assistant cause it's way better than Siri who got dumber through the years for some reason 🤷‍♂ And I much prefer the price of the Pixel phones.
