Who actually cares about bench marks when it comes to every day use?

@w4.k 3 ай бұрын

I buy flagships so the powerful processor can do everyday tasks easily and smoothly without heating or lagging and will be able to catch with years of major software updates without the hardware being outdated. Also, a powerful cpu will be more power efficient doing everyday tasks, whereas a mid or low cpu will be pushing its limits to.

@garner145 3 ай бұрын

Doesn’t this phone do most tasks easily and slowly? I understand that if you game or do lots of demanding tasks maybe but surely the Pixel 8 pro works fine for everyday use. I use phones for basic use and for photography.

@connorburke5761 3 ай бұрын

A lot more goes on in the background with faster processors that you don't notice until you use them. Everything is slower on my Pixel compared to the S23 Ultra (app switching, core app loading, animations, etc), to the point that its actually annoying. Not to mention the fact that faster processors *process faster* meaning they are inherently more efficient since they are running at higher speeds and power for less time. Also other mobile CPUs have extra chips on them to help things like AI and camera processing and stuff (which was the whole reason google switched to using their own anyway. And I guess to be more like Apple and hopefully have a perfect android phone with perfect optimization). So yeah the Pixel 8 Pro is decent enough in most cases but you definitely notice the lack of efficiency and power pretty much all the time. Its a Galaxy A55 competitor with flagship cameras.

I get what people are saying about the power but here are some reasons why a more powerful soc actually is important: - Opening and loading in apps is faster, this is obviously nice but also decreases the Time-To-Idle time, meaning the soc can get back to a power saving state faster - photos are quicker to take. Ever notice how iPhones can just tap the camera button and always take a photo instantly? And they can keep tapping to instantly take more photos. Pixels often struggle here outside of perfect lighting conditions. - more advanced photo processing is possible - more advanced AI is theoretically possible - apps can have more advanced graphics and animations - if the SoC achieves greater power output for the same energy usage, it will use less power and have better battery life

I was surprised to see this scratch when I took it for the service center to get it checked and the worst service center in India - Bangalore which they denied saying that it's physically damaged. Surprisingly, how can someone go below the display and damage it and it's not a crack? It's a scratch which is visible only when the displays off and viewed from a particular angle. I tried explaining them and even to the Google support team which do not have physical access to the phone, they were just sticking to physically damage term, Surprisingly they are also depended on the local third party vendor who has taken the Google phone service, I am totally disappointed

What about the price of all those flagship phones. You're talking too much pixel 8pro is one of the best phone right now considering the price and all that it offers

@Angler12 2 ай бұрын

Have had the phone for a week. Preach brother. I concur. Still recommend the phone at the price point. I don't regret the purchase

I just cannot agree with this. The battery life and charging speed are not bad, and actually they're much better than "decent". They just aren't elite. The processor and benchmarking gripe is just nonsense to me. Actual usage is the only meaningful metric here. Every smartphone out there occasionally has bugs. No one wants them, but there is no non-bug option.

Turn off the cell modem, when I'm on just wi-fi I get great battery life.

Typing this from my Google Pixel 8 Pro. I hated my iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra. I get too many useful features on the Pixel to settle for the other two.

Is it worth it cause considering pixel 8 pro and pretty much just for the cameras

@DeadofWinter321 2 ай бұрын

@@ericparlatore The pixel exclusive features are also a big thing for me. The call assist features and the premium software experience

Benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. I used had a P7P and traded it for an S24 regular. I don't notice any difference in processing speed. If anything the P7P was snappier because of the 12gb of ram

5 hours of screen on time?! That's either a bug or a lawsuit because you've got yourself a budget chip on a flagship phone

@Hi_Im_Dominik 9 күн бұрын

Surely its a flag ship but u conpare it to phones around 2x price

@michaeldhknight7569 Ай бұрын

You topped doing benchmarks and that's a non-issue at all for me. The phone animations are fluid. It doesn't feel slow. It takes incredible photos. The UI is great. What? I don't like about the pixel and what I can't believe you didn't touch on is the heating issue and the battery due to the crappy chip they're using with Samsung. The pixel won't be a true flagship in terms of Chip battery, heat management, etc. Until they get away from partnering with exynos for the tensor

Video playback is laughably bad compared to S23 Ultra, heck even the mid range a52 completely destroys the Pixel.

Hear me out the chip of Google pixel is for machine learning not games

It’s crazy especially with widgets Google had a 10 year lead on Apple with widgets and Apple still came in. Did it better? Android should’ve had active widgets a long time ago

I also bought it and im disappointed, for that price it should be better. Strange things happen to. Suddenly my app duck duck go was not to be find in downloaded apps.. and i got logged out from my watsapp i had since many years. Lost many contacts there.. i suspect Google did it. Many inbuilt apps dont work correctly.. For this price i would have expected a better quality..
