Thanks a lot for highlighting the regular model. Most reviewers go for the pro models first. I have always used an Android, but moved to iOS a year ago. The more I use an iPhone in my work life, the more I miss the ‘smart’ features of Android. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy using my iPhone too (I especially appreciate their focus on privacy), but for productivity it doesn’t even come close to Android.

I agree to your point for ios spoiling is with their haptics, But I'm aint sure about the battery perfomance about the pixel 8; Let's wait for in-depth full review.
Glad to see another Pixel 8 review. It is promising that you really had no real negatives for the phone. Other than Google disabling some features for the 8. Which happens with every phone brand they take away features from the base models to upsell you to the more expensive model. That's not really a negative in my opinion because you know for $300 less you aren't gonna be getting everything the 8 pro gets. It's common sense that you must be realistic when it comes to your expectations. At least for me I'm very happy Google managed to fix alot of my issues with the 6 and 7 series.
Finally, many of us were looking forward for this and also more importantly the review and comparison of iphone 15 with pixel. Please Ranjith can we have a video on this soon. I'm sure many are waiting for your detailed review of both these devices. There are tons of reviews everywhere but simply not trustworthy and also they sound scripted and not convincing.
How's the network reception buddy? Some reviewers have told it keeps switching from 5g to 4g. Also please comment if it gets warm on simple tasks like Instagram scrolling...
@@punjabishivboth have been good for me. I've not seen any network switching here in the SF Bay Area on Google Fi. And the only time the phone got warm was during initial setup. Note, I _don't_ use Instagram, etc.
Thank you Ranjit for taking the time to do a thorough test of the features available in the devices. I had a few a ideas I was hoping you could take a look at. Price - I think the price for Pixel and Pixel pros should be fixed at 55k and 85k-90k (if Pro has a better ultra wide lens and the normal one has the same capabilities as the pro for the main sensor. It's a phone marketed as a camera phone with amazing AI. It should come with such options in that case). At least so long we consider $1k a flagship in US. I understand the need to increase the price for taxes and such from USD to INR. But we simply do not have that kind of income here to be able to comfortably buy a phone for >1L. Much less needs to be said about phones costing 1.6L. Heating - Could you please check if it heats up while the magic editor is being used? (I know you mentioned it does). But what I mean to test is, how long does it take for the phone the turn off the gallery app? I saw some initial user reviews on flipkart saying, it is shutting down the gallery app after some editing. But "Some editing" is very subjective. Any number would be really helpful. Usecase - Stretching the above mentioned point a little further, could you check the heating issue if the phone is being used as a a primary recording device in a sunny day outside? The pixel 7s would shut down video after about 9 minutes. I think, a flagship phone in 2023, should at least be capable of constant camera usage in outdoors for at least 30 minutes without severe overheating. (Is that a decent expectation to have? I really dunno😅 If you could answer that would be great.). Benchmarks are never really that practical in day to day usage. As long as the phone can be used for a day without the need of constant battery top off throughout and the phone shutting down after 15 minutes being used as a camera. But Google doesn't exactly provide a reliable experience. Starting from them going back on their promises before to the overheating of the pixels so far after around 3 months. What do you think? Would love some clarity on these doubts I have.
Don't agree with the price part. What apple has been doing this for years in India even after manufacturing is done in India they still loot Indians and Indians don't mind cause wow apple and now they have problem with Google pricing which isn't even as high as iphones? I think 8pro is definitely overpriced but 8 pricing is good at 75k. Maybe drop to 70k but 75k for pixel 8 with 7 years updates is a good deal in India.
@@yellowflash511 I am not gonna justify the price of a phone based on what some other ridiculous pricing is employed by another company. In fact, I did berate the pricing of 1.6L in my comment. My argument is this, the price of $1k is a flagship Category. And in US the avg salary is $50k/year. Now let's take a look at Indian ratio. According to the economic times as of May 26th 2022, if you earn 3L per annum you already at top 10% earners in India. Even if I only count that percentage (which is giving the whole ratio of earning to prices a HUGE discount) even then, the US ratio is 50:1 for earning to price of a flagship. In India, you do the math. It will come to a much lower price than what I quoted. And I am not even arguing that this should indeed be the price for a fair deal. All I am saying is, here we consider 50k to be a premium price and 80k is simply flagship. That should be employed at the very least.
Go for the iPhones They nowadays make more sense and value for money in their respective price for example, play bgmi on 12 for 2 hours, it won't throttle because how good things are optimised (even tho benchmarks are the same as SD870's) but on pixel, it gets throttled to about 48% after 20-30 mins of heavy use meaning you're throttled to snapdragon 845-55 is performance) and 12 costs 35k and pixel 8 costs 65k during the sale. (50% cheaper yet comparable cameras, Better video quality, well optimised UI and apps and better performance with similar-ish battery performance. Imagine when you go for the 15 which competes with the price of pixel with way-waaayyyy better performance, battery backup, video quality, again comparable pictures and after a year when resident evil isn't exclusive to the pro. Pixel is good if they were selling it for 45k-50k. (Think, apart from the AI thing, hardware wise this phone performs worse than the 30-35k iqoo and poco phones and they're charging another 40k for the software and AI things??? Which I don't find fair, so 30k for hardware and 15k for software and AI magic which, iqoo and poco phones don't have)
Flagship 8 gen 2 won't be able to support these new AI features from Google that's why they make their own SoCs so they can put in their own AI, efficiency & performance cores and fine tune it for their own products rather than depending on a ready made processor. Edit: Oh, and it also won't be able to support 7 years of Android updates. I'm glad Google is too stubborn about this or we wouldn't have got these features.
@@utsavmehta33Nobody is going to use a phone for 7 years. Also the processor is slow for its price, I am highly skeptical if the hardware will be able to support its software for 7 years.
@@yashkumar8316 valid point but I do feel there must be some big reason Google promised it. If this backfires, it's going to be so embarrassing for them
Really love the way you actually test the features. Commendable and that's what makes your videos stand out from other RUclipsrs. And obviously, the no non sense and true reviews.

Isn't any youtuber going to talk about the horrible after sales service that google provides in India? My brother has a pixel 7pro and he broke the display of the phone and the service centre in Mumbai told me that they have to send the phone to Delhi and it will take minimum 30 to 45 days for the phone to repair.
Exactly, I'm waiting for the day when any one of the indian tech youtuber will talk about horrible after sale service of google. The biggest deal breaker in my opinion.
Battery performance may also be better due to Android 14. I feel there is about 20% increase in battery performance on my Pixel 7 Pro post to Android 14 update.
Very good & in depth review Sir. I have also noticed some Cons after using this phone for a week 1) Face Unlock does not work properly in low light conditions 2) It does not allow Switch between two SIM's if you wish to use the data. I am using JIO esim & Airtel Physical SIM 3) Battery drains very fast if you are using 5G on both SIM's
I remember Ranjit recommending the Pixel 7 series after reviewing it. 7 series didn't have those heating issues then. Real heating issue starts in summer! Every other youtuber called it a BAD smartphone later. We really need to wait till summer arrives here in India and then think it as a buying option. Pricing is really bad on this one. And a buyer will keep waiting for BBD sales. Flipkart and Google are jointly responsible for it. 3rdly why only FLIPKART ??? It's become a monopoly game there..☹️
it's the case with every smartphone bro. if your ambient temperature is 40*+ degree you can't expect the phone to run below 40*, i am planning to switch city 😂😂 after buying this.
As always GeekyRanjit are the best. I've watched many reviews of pixel8, but was unable to recognize the differences of features between pixel 8 & 8 pro, but he has cleared all the clouds. 👍
Hey Ranjit Can you make a video about how one can manage their battery so that the battery can be used for its longest life. I know many of people and many many youtubers posted that kind of videos but I would like to see a brief video about battery care of mobile and laptop devices... Thank you in advance😊
Hi Ranjit, I always rely upon your reviews whenever I have to make a tech call; please do testify Pixel 8 pro in terms of software smoothness in terms of multi-tasking especially with gesture navigation.
Yeah pixel 8A should be good as it will also use the Tensor G3 SOC so should get most of the AI features and the Pixel 8A should be priced around 45K in India.
Thank you so much for reviewing the regular eight nobody's doing that all the reviewers look at the pro but a lot of us don't want to carry a tablet in our pocket..
sir i m heavy media consumer and i was wondering how will it do in terms of battery..if possible do lil testing and let us know how it does for media consumers. love your honesty
I'm waiting for an in depth review but the heating issue not being solved + this pricing is quite bad. As usual this is a good phone for next BBD sale.
People waiting to purchase pixel 8 or 8 pro can wait for couple of months for price decrease. Currently prices are ridiculous. Moreover with 7 years of updates this is a very good purchase
With normal use on WiFi I can get about 8 hours of screen on time but it is with the Pixel pro 8. But this is about emails/weather app/facebook/twitter/instagram/whatsapp/looking something up/updating apps/banking app/football app. So normal use, not heavy use.
Something kept on moving in the back Sir - Was a little distracting in the video. Additional felt that the brightness was a little low during the video.
Does the call screening feature work in india? does it support hindi? I saw some demos on another chanel and it sounded very natural in English. With 7 years of update support ... and very little hardware change every year with new phone launches ... it could be very attractively priced in 2 years

Ranjit had in fact recommended the pixel 7. He was very impressed with the phone in his review. You can check the video. I don't know why he's telling like this now!
Hi Ranjit, Are you able to turn off the camera shutter sound. I didn't find it in camera app settings. I know this feature is locked for the Japan variant. Seems stange 😑
It's the price hike in India that concerns me? It it's available at Rs. 89K for the Pixel 8 Pro without a Bank Discount and available at 10% off on credit Card, ie. Rs. 99K - 9.9K, I'd go for it!! But it's not worth it considering there's only a handful of Pixel After-Sales Service in my region. So, I'd say if they already have enough after-sales service like Samsung.. I'd still go for the Pixel 8 Pro...
dont know about calling quality much but if you are getting good 5G on Airtel in Jio definitely it'll be even more better as Jio has more towers and standalone ❤
Hi,please do a review for vivo v29 pro... I feel thats a all round decent phone, considering to buy... Waiting for a trustworthy review,and i trust only you for smartphones
Glad you chose to review the Pixel 8 first. The Pro doesn't seem to be an option for most of us considering the pricing.

Every other youtuber called it a BAD smartphone later. We really need to wait till summer arrives here in India and then think it as a buying option.
Pricing is really bad on this one. And a buyer will keep waiting for BBD sales. Flipkart and Google are jointly responsible for it.
3rdly why only FLIPKART ??? It's become a monopoly game there..☹️
it's the case with every smartphone bro. if your ambient temperature is 40*+ degree you can't expect the phone to run below 40*, i am planning to switch city 😂😂 after buying this.
As always GeekyRanjit are the best. I've watched many reviews of pixel8, but was unable to recognize the differences of features between pixel 8 & 8 pro, but he has cleared all the clouds. 👍
After a long time your review....❤
Hey Ranjit
Can you make a video about how one can manage their battery so that the battery can be used for its longest life.
I know many of people and many many youtubers posted that kind of videos but I would like to see a brief video about battery care of mobile and laptop devices...
Thank you in advance😊
Better ask him twitter rather than here because he is not active in yt
The only person i trust while buying a new phone..Other guys like technical guru ji and all are just behind money with fake reviews
sir u always make best reviews on market..could you make iphone 15 review i have been waiting for it for long time..
Hi Ranjit, I always rely upon your reviews whenever I have to make a tech call; please do testify Pixel 8 pro in terms of software smoothness in terms of multi-tasking especially with gesture navigation.
Awesome straight forward feedback to Google!!!👍 Liked it keep it up.. Google don't do cheap marketing like this
After looking at these pixel flagships and their prices, I am really excited for the Pixel 8A ! That phone will provide much better value !
Yeah pixel 8A should be good as it will also use the Tensor G3 SOC so should get most of the AI features and the Pixel 8A should be priced around 45K in India.
Is it really launching in india? Pixel 8A?
Have they made 8A in the first place?
A series meant for big bezels 🙈
@@geekyranjit and around big billion day sale around 30K 😂😂
Really appreciate Sir for mentioning the haptics
Thank you so much for reviewing the regular eight nobody's doing that all the reviewers look at the pro but a lot of us don't want to carry a tablet in our pocket..
sir i m heavy media consumer and i was wondering how will it do in terms of battery..if possible do lil testing and let us know how it does for media consumers. love your honesty
Nice Hairstyle Ranjit ji! Have been waiting for your review ever since the launch! As usual I think you're the best at what you do! Thank you 👍
every one was boasting abt pixel 8 pro.. thank you considering 8❤compact
I like the glassy🤓 and geeky Ranjith too ❤
Kuch awaited review of the year
maybe the adaptive charge in the phone is on by default, so that could be the reason for charging slow after 90%
I'm waiting for an in depth review but the heating issue not being solved + this pricing is quite bad. As usual this is a good phone for next BBD sale.
The call quality feature he was talking about is called "Clear Calling".
He is the only indian reviewer who is serious about his work.. he deserves to be on the top
People waiting to purchase pixel 8 or 8 pro can wait for couple of months for price decrease. Currently prices are ridiculous. Moreover with 7 years of updates this is a very good purchase
Price will only be decreased next year and not in few months
Plz also share Pixel 8 pro review😊. I am planning to buy Pixel 8 pro from Kuwait. Will I face any issue with respect to connectivity?
Hi sir, we are waiting for your pixel 9 review 😊
When I am considering to buy a new phone the only guy I trust on is Ranjit Sir
Sir what about iPhone 15 ? Really looking forward to your review.
I already have mentioned earlier that I am not covering it.
Apple in India = useless
Thanks Ranjit for the genuine review
With normal use on WiFi I can get about 8 hours of screen on time but it is with the Pixel pro 8. But this is about emails/weather app/facebook/twitter/instagram/whatsapp/looking something up/updating apps/banking app/football app. So normal use, not heavy use.
Thank you for this Video 😊
Nice and geniune explanation tq
Something kept on moving in the back Sir - Was a little distracting in the video. Additional felt that the brightness was a little low during the video.
Does the call screening feature work in india? does it support hindi? I saw some demos on another chanel and it sounded very natural in English.
With 7 years of update support ... and very little hardware change every year with new phone launches ... it could be very attractively priced in 2 years
Hi Ranjit....When can we expect the video of 8 pro along with its in-depth review?
The AI magic audio eraser is just crazy!!
Please 🙏 iphone 15 lineup reviews. I want that soo much. Iv been waiting for long time for your review. I hv only subscribed MKBHD and “You”.
In 🇮🇳, many people purchase smartphones for around Rs 15,000.
Generally around Rs 15,000 Android smartphone users, use their phones for 2 to 3 years. Then it becomes outdated.
* Rs 15,000 smartphones generally don't get Android updates after 2 years.
Ranjit had in fact recommended the pixel 7. He was very impressed with the phone in his review. You can check the video. I don't know why he's telling like this now!
Hi ranjit
What your thought about samsung s23fe ?
Are u covering it or not ?
finally the review for google pixel 8 only not PIXEL 8 and Pixel 8 pro
Hope pixel 8A will retain 80 to 90 percent features of pixel 8 with a lower price tag...around 30k.
8a won't be launched
Definitely no
Hi Ranjit,
Are you able to turn off the camera shutter sound. I didn't find it in camera app settings. I know this feature is locked for the Japan variant. Seems stange 😑
I wish they should go with qualcom processor. It would make these phones better for what they are.
Please review about network connectivity in depth. Some reviewers have told it keeps switching from 5g to 4g.
Hello Sir! Would you be reviewing Iphone 15 ? Have been waiting since a long time now.
It's the price hike in India that concerns me? It it's available at Rs. 89K for the Pixel 8 Pro without a Bank Discount and available at 10% off on credit Card, ie. Rs. 99K - 9.9K, I'd go for it!! But it's not worth it considering there's only a handful of Pixel After-Sales Service in my region. So, I'd say if they already have enough after-sales service like Samsung.. I'd still go for the Pixel 8 Pro...
If u have friends in abroad them to buy it for you. Its the only solution
With regular use, my 4+ year old Redmi K20 Pro still gets around 4-5hrs of screen on time.
Mine too.....3-yr old....gives me 7 hrs of RUclips.
I'd rather watch this guys reviews than Marques Brownlee
Watching this on Pixel 8 with Pixel Buds A 💯
I have OP 10 PFO
should i upgrade to pixel 8 or S22 ultra ?? 🤔🤔 plz help
I would prefer you over MKBHD
dont know about calling quality much but if you are getting good 5G on Airtel in Jio definitely it'll be even more better as Jio has more towers and standalone ❤
I am using a pixel 6 and after Android 14 update it heats a lil less and battery performance is also slightly improved..
Waiting for comparison with other Flagships - S23, IPhone 14, IPhone 15
Pixel 8 aur Oppo Reno 10 Pro+ me se kon sa lena best hai?
Top notch quality content
Amazing phone. Period
Compact
Regarding its pricing I’m gonna buy it after a year
Which Garmin watch is that. Would love to have a review of it
Hi,please do a review for vivo v29 pro... I feel thats a all round decent phone, considering to buy... Waiting for a trustworthy review,and i trust only you for smartphones
Worst phone avoid it..single speaker, avg processor .. Just for gimmicky cameras it's slightly worth
Vivo this year only better one is x90 Pro
I use Pixel 7, it doesn't heat anymore. Software patch should have been updated.
