    I don't know why they are all dropping the earphone jacks. I really like the headphone jack.
    Love your videos Saf❤

      Philip Valenzuela or more additional income by keeping the jack and selling 2 variants of the earphones, wired and wireless options.

      @samueljames8368 7 лет назад +4

      Slots N-Stuff I would buy the note 8 in a heartbeat if removable battery and IR blaster were included on top of what they already have on there but these phones are planned obsolescence. P.s. Front facing speakers would have been nice also, I heard the bottom firing speaker sucks and I always use speakerphone when making calls

      @SlotsNStuff 7 лет назад +3

      Thanks Samuel, yes I agree and think I am going to go that direction. I tried the iphone for the gen 6s and I think I am going back to Android. Having experienced both I can truly say Android and Samsung make a far superior package. "Queue the iPhone fanboys" LUL

      Slots N-Stuff I went from android lollipop to iOS 6 or 7 on an iPhone 4 all the way to iOS 11 on an iPhone 6S and I recently went back to android with the note 8 and android has improved so much I like it much more than iOS

      Samsung phones have the greatest frontal hardware and screen display bar none and ok a very good camera which every smartphone has it anyway but...... That is all it! Samsung phones have cheap plasticky backs, poor fingerprint sensor placement, ugly, unsmooth and gimmicky user interface, late updates and poor overall user experience, all about specs that never really translate into anything just raw unused power and superficial. Will rather opt for a not so greatest external aesthetics but with the best Android camera processing, Vanilla buttery Android and amazingly powerful yet simple user interface with which Google's Pixel has.

    I remember when I switched from the Note 4 to the Nexus 6P 128Gb version (I wanted to try Project Fi at the time) The 6P was nice and smooth and the rate at which I got the next OS upgrade was pleasing. I was looking forward to purchasing the Pixel XL but when they took away the dual front facing speakers and the price jumped I decided to try out Asus for a while but I just missed the features of the Note line and after going through many phones I am back home where I belong with the Note 8. I really do enjoy this phone.

    I chuckle how all the youtubers say the Note uses just bixby for their comparisons. The Note 8 uses the google assistant and bixby ! you have 2 assistants !!! not just one like the rest. I use both all the time. The Note is just ahead of all the competición, everyone else just follows.

    • @samrat6882
      @samrat6882 7 лет назад +1

      g1981c You activate it by holding down the home button......just like in all other android phones. You can also setup ok google detection, and disable bixby altogether if you don't like it. Though I tend to use bixby and disable google assistance since bixby is more versatile as of now.

    • @g1981c
      @g1981c 7 лет назад +1

      thanks. my LG V20 was updated with Google Assistant too recently but i think the Pixel 2 gets a newer assistant than one we got.

  • @brianmsahin
    @brianmsahin 7 лет назад +7

    Note8 is superior of course. But is it just me or does anyone else think that having a phone that's always listening a bit creepy? For me there's a major creep factor with Google, from the ill fated Google glass to the little spy camera they just announced, to Google home listening to everything you say.

    Supersaf can you please answer this? When do you think you'll be dropping the iPhone x vs samsung galaxy s8 plus camera test? I'm really debating between which one to get and I wanna see the comparison between the cameras but I heard that if you don't get the iPhone X fast you might have to wait till 2018 for it to come to stock. So when do u think you'll be dropping that video?

      Note 8 EASILY. The Significantly BETTER Display, the Expandable Storage for Applications and Music and it's ease of use for file transfers. The better Cameras in my opinion, Specifically in Low Light and Optical Zoom with Amazing Portrait Mode. The S-PEN alone dominates the Pixel in Functionality and Productivity. I could go on and on and on. Easily the Note 8 is the winner.

    • @TheLordofcod
      @TheLordofcod 7 лет назад

      Vipex Unfortunately all of them are crazily priced. I will stick to my Nexus 5x for a third year since it is like new, but I would like google to give us something affordable like it used to bring us the affordable nexus line...

  • @MidnightAssass1n
    @MidnightAssass1n 7 лет назад +9

    I’ve always been an apple guy but earlier this year I decided I was going to try out Android, so I bought the Mi Mix, I didn’t enjoy it so I decided to sell it and buy an s8. Which was great... for about a month. After that it started having issues and 1 out of 4 apps would crash. And so I’m back to iPhone (8 plus to be specific) and loving it. I think I’ll try a pixel at some point within the next 2 years, just for the stock android experience since I hear that is a lot better than the Samsung skin. But as for now I’ll stick to my iPhone. I don’t get why people get so upset that other people don’t like the same phones they do, the world is a weird place sometimes.

    • @M4ttNet
      @M4ttNet 7 лет назад +4

      Your S8 experience is not standard. I switched from iPhone 3G to Android years ago and haven't looked back, that was when things were actually quite unstable on Android even. My last two Android phones have been amazingly stable, never have run into an app crash issue like that. Keep in mind iPhones are not immune to such issues, like the least iOS that caused all sorts of problems for a lot of people.
      Yes the world is weird because people get upset others don't like what the like. It's also weird when people think their limited experience is representative of the general experience.

    • @rodeelynpc7327
      @rodeelynpc7327 7 лет назад

      If you would just like to try a different ecosystem plus an IOS feel. Should you go for the Pixel since it runs on purely stock android. No hidden issues or bloatware neither gimmicks that will slowdown your phone in the future.

      indiosession I had many different phones (Iphone 3,4,4S,6S / Samsung S2,S3,S4,S5,S6 edge and a couple of mini's, S7, Note 2, A5 2017, HTC One Plus, Huawei P10 Plus, Google Pixel, Google Pixel 2 XL(sold it after 3days, because he screen was blue-ish and didn't knew that there was no micro SD slot) and know I bought the Note 8. And it's perfect for me in anyway. The screen and the screensize. the design.. the pen.. how it feels in your hands and even Bixby (what I was hating before I tried it) everthing is perfect!! I don't care about the late updates etc. It's all about your own personal preference. Even the fingerprint sensor is easy to reach for my hand size!
      Had owned many phones but the Note 8 is my number 1 phone.

    both great phones no denying that, but I had to pick the pixel for a couple of reasons that I personally require and look for in a phone. dual front facing speakers, and the stock Android and very quick updates. Google are the first to get updates which is a must have for me in a phone, great customer service. most problems with Google are usually fixed with an update very quick. but none the less both phones are great my brother has the note 8 I just preferred the pixel.

    need that Super Saf Style camera review! but I'm sure they are both good. Love the front firing speakers, and clean android. wireless charging and headphone jack are major trade-offs, but probably going with the more clean software, more durable build, and better-sounding 2XL. Adding wireless charging on my own, and rocking BT headphones anyway...

    @terryd8692 7 лет назад +17

    Will you have problems with the Pixel 2 if you put it in a phone holder in the car? Obviously the holder will need to squeeze the phone to hold it secure. Will that make the assistant continually pop up every time you hit a bump?

      I think not it's pressure sensitive. It will also learn to differentiate between a real squeeze and other pressures.

    • @terryd8692
      @terryd8692 7 лет назад

      It'll probably go off when you first put it in the holder. I currently have a cheap holder that only uses side pressure to hold the device. If any phones have buttons sound the mid way Mark it's a right faff getting it mounted

    A little disappointed in the Pixel 2 XL, no wireless fast charging and should've got rid of the side bezels. Samsung definitely made the better looking phone, but might get the Pixel 2 XL just because I can't live without stock android, need that.

    • @M4ttNet
      @M4ttNet 7 лет назад

      Really surprised the Pixel doesn't have wireless charging. I get the stock Android thing though Samsung adds a whole lot of useful features on top of the S pen features as well. A lot of reviewers are really liking the current Samsung skin and some have preferred a lot of the Samsung app variants since the S8.

  • @EEESRAINMAN
    @EEESRAINMAN 7 лет назад

    Pre ordered my Pixel 2 XL yesterday! (All black version)
    For me, it came down to a few things.
    Better camera
    Stock Android > TouchWiz
    Stereo front facing speakers (the front facing being the real winner here)
    Also the fingerprint scanner being in a much better location.
    There are a few other smaller reasons, but those are the biggest for my personal preferences.

      eman6343 It is serious for people who want to save money. Wireless would be good if companies didn't use proprietary dongles. This forces you to keep buying their products if u lose and don't have cheaper alternatives. Plus, audiophiles will never go wireless until they can surpass the qualify of sound that only wired headphones offer.

    Pixel 2XL. The technology is just too fsr ahead. Curved edges mean nothing to me. Never has been since they introduced it on the S6. Google Lens, unlimited storage, stock Android, superb single lens camera that makes dual lens look like a gimmick, bigger battery, AR, light years ahead AI, Now Playing, Google Earbuds...what else am I missing on the list? What does Samsung have to offer me? A pen? Bixby? Lmao!

    • @M4ttNet
      @M4ttNet 7 лет назад +3

      Nearly nothing you said is superior hardware, just software features. Ironically the Note 8 does in fact have superior hardware features... dual camera, better spec'd front facing camera, bigger screen likely higher quality (the Pixel 2 XL is using an LG OLED so likely comparable to the LG V30 which is not as high quality as the Samsung OLED screens) that fills up far more of the surface of your phone (so bigger screen for the size), you get a built in wacom digitizer with 4k+ pressure sensitivity levels and a stylus, you still get a headphone jack... you get decent AKG tuned headphones to use with that headphone jack, you get wireless charging (including fast wireless charging) I mean the list goes on.
      The Pixel 2 XL is a good phone but its best features are not hardware but software related.

      Matthew Langley the pixels camera is just as good if not better than the note 8. Yeah bigger screen with curved edges that will blind you in the right lighting plus it will cause you to accidentally hit commands on your screen. P OLED is just fine. yeah a headphone Jack and earbuds would be nice but you get an adapter in the box and the pixel has front facing stereo speakers which are far superior than the notes one mono speaker at the bottom. explain to me why I should be all excited about wireless charging when it's not actually wireless charging because you have to plug the device in a wall then set your phone on a charging pad and watch it slowly charge?🤔 why should I think that's better than plug in fast charge and be able to use my phone while it's charging fast? Am I missing something here?

    We won't actually know how they compare until it comes out and everyone does their unboxing videos? Is there any way to know now if I will regret just going for the pixel??
    I don't mind losing wireless charging, expandable storage, IP 68 (instead of 67), headphone jack, or S PEN. Although the Note 8 is beautiful and has the better design and more RAM I have a feeling I will prefer the pure android experience of the Pixel in conjunction with its forward facing speakers. I currently own a Note 8 but am considering selling it now before it loses more value and getting the pixel pre-order... thoughts?

Can it take a pic, tag people, write a description and send it to Instagram? Can it play and pause YT videos? What is the only thing Google Assistant is useful for? Being a friend to you.

    @loveabides1967 7 лет назад

    I got the Pixel XL this last year and it has been a great handset! I have pre-ordered the Pixel 2 XL and am really looking forward to it!
    I think the Pixel is the best choice between these two. Personally, I love stock Android and also to run all of the Android OS betas and so the Pixel is the clear winner in this arena since all the updates come in a very timely fashion straight from Google without any carrier intervention. Yay! Also, the Unlimited Google Photo and Video backup in Full Res for Pixel owners is a no-brainer. Also, the dual front firing stereo speakers will be awesome to have again. We had those with the Nexus 6 and I have missed that feature desperately. The fact of the matter is that this functionality comes into play more often than you think that it would.
    🔋 life on the Pixel has been better than any other handset that I have owned and once again I think it is going to shine on the Pixel 2 XL.
    Also, Bixby will not be a staple on Android as we will all get to watch and see. However, the Google Assistant, in All Likely hood is most probably here to stay and as far as Assistants go, as consumers, I think we will see support of Google's Assistant on Far More consumer appliances, devices and Services than we will see on Bixby going forward. What does this mean? As AI becomes a more prominent part of our day to day life, we will get loads more done and have more automated access through the Google Assistant than we will through Apple's Siri, Samsung's Bixby or from Amazon's Alexa assistants.
    Most of us use Google Services everyday regardless of the model or brand of Android phone that we use: Cloud, Drive, Docs, Gmail, Keep, Chrome and on and on. Google created Android after all. The Pixel, being Google's Flagship handset, just allows for a smoother integration and cleaner experience of all of those services that we, as Android users, use everyday. Furthermore, the phone comes Unlocked when you buy it from Google: another positive Win if you are thinking about travelling the Globe or just simply leaving your current carrier to check out the grass on the other side of the fence: just take your Pixel with you. :)

      I "made the jump" several times (Galaxy S2, Galaxy S7 Edge, Axon 7, LG G6, Google Pixel, Galaxy S8). Every single time the phones started to get laggy, apps stopped working, the phones crashed almost daily and battery life got tremendously worse; All after just a few months (G6 lasted me 6 months). It's not like I break them intentionally. I basically use them the way they come out the box, nothing fancy.
      I really think the customizability and a lot of the features Android has are amazing and, like I said, I'd make the switch in a heartbeat. But as long as Android doesn't properly work, I just can't. My phone has to be reliable. :(

      xioracky You do know Samsung actually updates their phones. They said Oreo is coming before the end of the year. Samsung doesn't even take forever anymore. Plus most of what you get in Oreo the Note already has so you aren't losing out on anything. You still get security updates on time.

      Well android is copying samsung's touchwiz features lately so I really dont think samsung users are missing out on a lot.

      For people who never use Samsung version of Android, they think that newest version of stock Android is the latest and greatest. They don't know that lots of features added to the latest Android already exist on Samsung phones already. For the most part, Samsung phones users don't miss much from latest stock Android.

    The downside of picking Samsung devices are they took super long to update Android.
    I'm currently using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the OS is Android Lollipop.
    Cmon Samsung.

      Android Lover1219 that's new for me. Thank you for your kind information. It might be the dealbreaker for some people to switch to Samsung, since Pixel will be updated to the latest Android instantly

      And then people cry around that their new iPhone slows down massively because of a new iOS version.
      And others cry for more updates for older phones.
      Samsung can't update your hardware so stop crying.

      Its Note 3 bro. It's really old so you can't really expect. Anyways my father's S6 Edge got Android 7 2 weeks after the release of S8 S8 Plus

      That’s the downside of Samsung phones, you have to update them every 2 fucking years or less.

    Mrwhosetheboss has uploaded a video like yours at the same time... The titles were the same and the thumbnails were awfully similar...
    ...Thoughts? ;)

      Mitchell Hang thoughts? 90% of tech RUclips's make the same video, around the same time when a new phone is announced to compare it to the competition
