7 years is actually INSANE. Good job google
I was holding on to apple as I didn't like switching phones every couple years, but, when my 13 mini eventually kicks the bucket, I might jump ship
Ur move apple, make something interesting to make me stay...
No one is going to keep this battery-draining, overheating garbage for that long anyway
Google killed their pixel pass program after 22 months, 2 months before anyone could get their upgrade. I wouldn't trust them on their 7 year updates promise.
doesn't that mean that its last update will be in 2031 though? and then it will be good until 2032 or 2033?
I’d be more impressed if the phone actually stayed functional for 7 years.
7 years of software support is insane, thumbs up for that, Google!
Battery won’t last that long
@@SnorryHoboyes but u can replace the battery
@@SnorryHoboThey also have announced partnership with iFixIt you can change battery yourself
@@SnorryHoboI am rocking 5 year old cheap Realme phone
@@SnorryHoboI forgot to add fast charging also
I've had the chance to get my hands on the 8 and 8 Pro as well, and I can't deny these things:
- The blue looks really nice.
- The phones feel super good in the hand.
- They feel fast.
- 7 years of software updates is a lot.
it always feels fast at fast, but how do they hold up after say... 7 years?
@darknovember it's Google they are the kings of software
I love the rose color its gorgeous.
bro 7 years should be EXPECTED at the LEAST lmfao
@@darknovemberwhy do you people hate everything when someone doesn't give enough updates it's bad when someone does than the hardware won't handle it shut up bro
If it's gonna be 7 years of support, I think pixel is gonna make it's brand way more recognizable due to the fact that people are gonna use these over the years and it's still gonna be somehow relevant due to software updates
I'm your 100th like!
Except that this announcement comes on the heels of Google canceling the "get a new phone in 2 years" program 2 months shy of its 2-year anniversary.
@@godofbiscuitssf that's absolutely outrageous, heard about it
@@godofbiscuitssf Would they repeat that though? Seems like the 7 years is an atonement gesture hopefully?
@@sbashir9460 They have a history of failing to follow through.
We never doubted about the Pixels' camera performance, we are interested in how the thermals and battery performance are resolved.
Trur
Geez.... I really hope thermals improve. Every year I buy a pixel and a few months in I swap out to a Galaxy Ultra because of heat and performance issues.

These photo editing features seem insanely cool. Will be interesting to see what they're actually like in the real world.
The video boost feature sounds exciting to me, can't wait to see some test results!
7 YEARS OF UPDATES????? That's absolutely ridiculously awesome!
now i need to find new excuses to upgrade my pixel
not updates, security features.
@@FractalPrism. Both actually
Apple: Am I a joke to you guys?😂
👍👍
Using my OnePlus 5 since over six years, last three of them without updates... 7 years of updates is actually insane. It means a lot for sustainability imo
Especially cuz OnePlus said that they'd keep updating the phone OS but when they went down the shitter it's just bad now.
Don't iPhones have security updates for 7 years since ages?
@@tobeneiPhones have for a long time gotten the latest OS updates for at least 6 years, too.
@@tobeneyes! My old iPhone 6 Plus surprisingly still gets security updates
I'm using the OnePlus 6t still, works great and even better than some of the mid level segment phones coming nowadays. I made the mistake of updating the phone which made it slow and the os was overall very shitty. I rolled back to the previous version. Still going strong. These phones were just built different.
Big Pixel fan here. We've been buying them exclusively since the 1st. Skipped a year here or a year there but all 3 of us have had nothing but Pixels since they launched. The 7 years of OS updates is interesting. Not a chance in this world we'll have a Pixel 8 in 2030 but its going to be interesting to see for sure!
In your full review I would love to see some comparisons to the older pixels particularly camera quality/processing. Just to see how far it's come. I've got a 6pro and love it so need convincing to even consider upgrading anytime soon. Thanks! ✌️
I personally like the temperature sensor. Our phones are already our swiss army knives, they can be a compass, a ruler, a map, an instrument tuner, a notebook, a remote, a level, etc. I think it makes sense to add thermometer to the list
I can see a future where a child doesnt feel well and a parent says "come here, let me read your temperature" and whips out a smartphone
But it’s more of a gimmick as if people really want to measure temperatures accurately they would rather use a designated device.
@@swizzwizz12 obv this is under the assumption that it's reasonably accurate, even just within one degree. That should go without saying
I've always wondered why it wasn't already implemented in all our everyday technology. Even knowing the temperature of a room, just fo r the fun of it, would be really cool.
Same. But why can't the camera recognize the object with AI? Why do we need to tell it?
@@AzVfL great point, I hadn't even thought about that. Put those tensor cores to good use
Wow , 7 yrs of software support is amazing . Huge thumbs up for google !!
With Google Play Protect your current phone has more than 7 years of security including third party apps.
@@jevonsims900 Not true, SoC only provides 4-5 years of security updates on all flagship phones (besides Apple, because they make their own hardware). Now Google provides 7 years of security AND SOFTWARE updates, so you will get the next 7 new android versions (while on other android flagship phones it's limited to 4). This is insane
Pixel on it's way to become next BlackBerry or HTC. Software support for more than 5 years is pointless, unnecessary burden on techies. And the camera bar design is already looking outdated. You really have to be a middle aged person to think this is a practical thing.
This will be good for a person like me 👍
@@PavanKumar-ft5hi Couldn't you say the same thing about 4 years? And 3 years? And 2 years? You didn't really make a point, just said an opinion and then insulted people who think otherwise.
I just love hearing you talk about stuff in general, I find it soothing at some point 😂
I used the Best Take feature at the launch event for the 8-series in Belgium and it's really impressive how good that works
7 years software updates is just crazy
Google is known for just dropping things if they do it great but google has a track record.
@@Madeintheshade65 not with Pixel. And with Stadia they refunded all the money
And the fact that all the generative AI stuff is run locally on the phone
@@Madeintheshade65not with Pixel, Google are now gonna be beating Apple in software updates and support now with 7 years of software updates.
7 years is cool but will the device last that long also the want to change the device will probably creep up after 5 years
The AI on Pixel 8 and 8 Pro is so insane, and a little scary. With all the power it has and how accessible it is, we won't know whether a photo is genuine or not in the very near future with this amount of altering. Impressive, yes, but also a little mind-blowing.
Nahh
Yeaa it's really good
how is it scary lmao?
Yeah but Photoshop has existed for a long time so that really doesn't make much difference
Can I defame someone with that ai features
Great video man! Helps me a lot to finally decide for a pixel 8 pro
Awesome Video MKBHD like always!
Wow, as a long time apple user, this Pixel is tempting. 7 years support and awesome software. This reminds me of the good old days of smartphone evolution where each year gives us something completely new.
I'm waiting for another phone with an IR blaster.
no one cares about ir blaster
@@chicken_punk_pie
don't get fooled. if u want to use it for long term, it also has to have a decent chipset in addition to software support. but the TENSOR chipset on this thing is meh.
💢 WHAT I LIKE about this phone tho is the software. google makes top notch apps. just like apple. google is becoming the apple of android
I love the fact that they introduced the Magic Eraser on my Pixel 4a, it's a lot of fun
Switching to Android will be a disappointment.
Great to see the camera app going back nearly a decade and returning to splitting photo and video like a number of phones used to do. As it should've stayed.
Nexus 4 is the best
HTC
The camera software layout on the pixels looks terrible. I much prefer Samsungs and Apple’s
I love your reviews, nothing unnecessary, straight to the point. I've got all the information that I needed 😊
This isn't the review
Oh he really needed that 5 buck lol
Hey thanks for this information. Very informative and helps to know more about the phone in small span of time
The software update support bump is insane 🤯
These pixel devices looks so dope and the fact that now they are providing 7 years of major software update is the major push for more people to choose pixels devices over other phones.
Unless I'm mistaken they only guaranteed security updates for 7 years. Not necessarily major android updates. 7 years is some potentially massive leaps in what a phone can do with a cpu that's already 2 generations behind competitors.
I love Google, but I won’t trust it with its history abandoning promises (like Pixel Pass).
@@nikc1313no they said OS
Google only offered 7 Years cause Apple does a guaranteed 6-8 years OS updates. Google knows their customers won't keep their Pixel 8/8 Pro for 7 years.
Hell no. IDK why anyone would buy a Pixel over a Galaxy.
I pre-ordered it as soon as it was announced on the video. I chose the ear buds rather than the watch for preorder but I'm so excited!
Preordered my bay blue one with Pro buds that match. Thanks for the video, the only authority on tech I trust
Honestly marques's reviews are more informative and fun to watch than the event itself
Like no kidding .... And the dude doesn't even do too much 😂
I just completed the event and came here. To be honest, Marques didnt talk about any feature properly. Missed out on Bard with Assistant and Local LLMs.
Love the phone and I couldn't get 5 minutes into the keynote, they're all just too long-winded - not picking on Google specifically, most keynotes just seem boring af and there's no reason they shouldn't be any longer than 10-20 minutes, unless they're doing a full teardown and spec test.
More informative?
You didn't watch the event for sure...
This was just the summary not more information of the keynote...
Par for the course, corporations tend to be deadpan
Changing people's faces and facial expressions seems really dystopian to me. I thought the point of family photos and photos with friends is to capture the moment, not to force it to look how you would have liked it to look like.
Exactly
It can do both, so yeah more options for our needs
Agreed, also feel it’s a gimmick. For once wish Google would actually do something interesting with the hardware
But you have the option of not using the feature, so ...
yeah but it's deceptive to people who look at those photos, they should have some metadata that indicates it was stitched together and wasn't the picture in the moment @@mynameisharlan
Ive really enjoyed my 6 pro, and I'm so stoked to get this.
Camera zoom is what I'm most interested in. Went to a concert with my buddy, and his galaxy ultra camera zoom was ridiculously clear and zoomed in way more than my Pixel 7.
With the way Pixel's camera bump is across the whole width of the phone and not just a square in the corner, this makes an awesome chance for phone case manufacturers to make a case that smoothens out the back, and then throw in a battery in the case itself, maybe upto 3000-4000mah battery. This could mean the Pixel having a battery for two days.
Google should just go balls to the wall and release a model a tier above the pro and make it huge with the back being flush with the camera bump to include a crazy size battery.
Then call it something goofy like the Google Mega Pixel for $1200
@@artificialstyle998 nah that finna be the energizer phone lmao
@@artificialstyle998 I'm willing to bet no phone user would prefer a thick personal handheld device just so you can use it 2 days straight without plugging into the wall. I'd rather bring a powerbank if I'm gonna be outdoors for two days, would still have the lightness of a normal sized phone for 100% of the time.
@@artificialstyle998"The MegaPixel"... I like it. Very clever. You should work in marketing, if you don't already.
I like Google more and more. Having 7yrs of support and their own integration with Chromebooks. I think they need to refine that partnership. Good luck to Samsung and Apple now I've found my phone home
That 'best take' feature is something I figured more companies would have done longer ago. It seems like such an easy solution to fix with their computational photography.
I think it was harder to implement back in the day but with generative AI, it made things easier for them.
Blackberry had this exact feature in 2013 on the Z10 and it worked perfectly fine
Lumia windows phones had this also and it was legit
@@GainomaxYeah, Windows Phone had that way back when and also the 'new' iPhone feature that let's you select your focus subject after you take the picture.
heir computational features are the feature !
This new feature of screen call is incredible!!! It doesn't sound like anything pre-recorded.
I will upgrade from 6a to 8 pro. Great Job Mr. Brownlee. Still can't believe I saw you in person a while back. My wife said, hey, isn't that your favorite tech guy over there, yeap it was. Awesome.
Tbh it's absolutely scary with the Google editing feature on photos from not only editing pictures but to the extend of moving the subject opening eyes and what not. I know its nothing new but having it inbuilt is actually adding to our society's obsession to be perfect without flaws and that's whats giving me the chills
Ty all for the likes and the engagement in the comments section
that is a good point
I guess. But it's just mashing different takes together of group photos, right? like it takes a whole subject from one picture to another. The real scary shit is if it lets you do it with different body parts of the same subject.
I know people are different but social media and trying to be perfect destroyed me mentally. Although it's cool and all slowly but surely tech gets too much.
u could do it manually with photoshop tbf
There needs to be some cryptological watermark standard that sets a flag as being the original image as-captured. You're never going to stop people from messing with photos, but for photos where you absolutely need to know what the original image was, there should be a way of knowing that.
Marques finds the right balance between calm and excited for the new smartphone
When am abt to go burn my friends house seeing google may take ultimate video and (already)photo King 😅
i love all the prime trucks in the background of the talking head
These phones look so good. Would be awesome to see a camera comparison between the Google 8/8 pro, iPhone 15/15 pro max and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in the future
I got a Pixel 7 earlier this year, and I love what they're doing to improve the Pixel lineup! I love how non-restrictive it is. So long as they don't remove all the "little" features and ways to customize it (including in the ways that most people don't need), I'm staying with Pixel. I wish dbrand had a ghost case for the non-pro pixels; I would actually get one.
P
in what little ways can you customize it?
Got a Pixel 7 too just a few months ago. Knowing Google, most of the P8 exclusive features will come back to the 7 in a few months.
I just bought the pixel 7 just 2 days ago ;) I might return it as I haven't opened it yet it seems the 8 is better in every way.
You can't even crop a photo in the Google gallery. I find my P7p far more restrictive than the Note 10+ I came from. Basic, simple shit, can't do it. Why can't I sort my gallery by recent? Anyways.
I guess by now we can tell Marquess really loves softwares. This is the most excited I have seen him talking about a product. Google Pixel did it again
That 6:24 point MAGIC ERASER is little bit similar to what we had in Nokia Smart Camera in Lumia Phones 10 years ago
One of the best reviews ever ... you're special Marques
This is my by far the most favourite design in any smartphone. Looks so unique and classy.
I honestly didn't expect for the Pixel 8 to be so packed with software! Very impressive what its capable of doing
The Frankenstein photo editing is going to be fun to play with.
As always. We appreciate the great and insightful video! I've been on the fence about the 8/8 Pro and this video did a much better job of explaining the real differences and features than my own reading did. I'm still not sure if I would use the 8 Pro features enough to justify the price difference.
10:20 Google got their hands on a time machine 😂 Google's like "Upload your clips to our time machine, and we'll go back in time and re-record it better" lol
As a person who never used Pixel and tried 7 Pro, that software magic and all the small thing's and quirkyness makes it stand out from the rest 👍
I recently switched from a Pixel 3XL to a Samsung S23, and honestly, I miss the Pixel. It's not as crazy customisable, but it's exactly the quirkyness you mention that makes it such a fun phone to use. And there are some exclusive features that I miss as well. If you're looking for a new phone, I would definitely consider this one.
But I'd buy it a few months after release, just to see if they have any hardware issues. That can be a bit hit or miss with this series.
I've been using a pro max for a year I've just pre ordered I miss all the features on the pixel and Google assistant is just so ahead of Siri it's laughable.
@@declanashmoreI've bought pretty much every pixel. The hardware issues either haven't hit me or haven't bothered me for the most part, but waiting a few months is still a great idea just to dodge the new Android version bugs.
I'm rocking the 7 Pro. Highly satisfied. For me the voice recognition and phone assistant features will make it very hard for me to switch. Definitely the "Smartest" smartphone around.
No music. Just you talking. I like it. Great video as always :)
I've had the temperature sensor on my Umidigi phones for a couple of years already. Not super precise but it is very convenient (especially during the Covid times)
For the review: 1. Thermals/throttling after long continuous regular/camera use 2. Battery life 3. Whether it will be able to survive roughly 7 Years ;) 4.Comparison with competition(8 Gen 2) 5. This might be hard but if possible try to get idea about Google's plan for keeping parts available for these phones especially as they are providing such long software support. Thanks, tuned to see your review @mkbhd
they are currently partnered with ifixit for the pixel 8 and 8 pro to offer all replacement parts and guides
For parts, they announced they're teaming up with iFixIt
Its competition is not 8 gen 2. The G3 is likely as powerfull as the sd888, since the G2 was basically on level with sd865.
I like the pixel phones more and more each year. The 7year support sounds crazy compared to other brands. The price is alright as well, and the camera is always great (especially with the software enhancement). My next phone will probably be a pixel if they keep that up
Wow, the camera software on Google Pixel feature phones is truly impressive! The updates they receive constantly enhance their already amazing features. I love how Pixel phones support video phone calls and provide excellent video editing capabilities. The night mode is a game-changer, allowing me to capture stunning photos even in low light. The battery life is fantastic, and I'm always amazed at how well it performs. The Pixel phones have definitely set a new standard in smartphone photography. Can't wait to see what exciting updates the next year brings. Keep up the great work, Google!
Can you do a deep dive into the video aspect of the camera on both phones and the zoom available on each? Specifically pertaining to videoing action sports? That would be amazing! 🙏🏼
The new features sounds sick! Plus the 7 years software security support, damn!
Looking forward to the full review!
Its great to see screens being brighter, but I would like it to go darker for night mode, this is so underated, but having a darker screen at night, especially for parents with children trying to sleep next to them is an awesome feature to have.
Pretty sure software can do it. Maybe Twilight or something like that.
I live in Texas and it was so hard to see my Pixel7pro at all during the day this summer :/
That's what extra dim mode is for.
Maybe your infant child who is sleeping next you you shouldn’t have a high end $1000 phone 💀
@@kinster02 yes i was just about to say that
I'm upgrading from my Pixel 2 XL today. I've had it for 6 years and it's finally showing signs of slowing down. Getting 7 years out of the Pixel 8 Pro is gonna be wonderful 👍
Can confirm. It's been wonderful.
The tmeperature sensor is dope
Thank you Marques! Always look forward to your phone/tech reviews since they are always clearly discussed. Looking forward to the updated Pixel reviews.
Marques: I am going to call Most useful smart features as weird features just because it is a pixel😈
Would love to see a deep dive into the displays of all the new phones, specifically how they stack up for those of us who are sensitive to the PWM dimming.
Yeah exactly me too I can't use any new phones because of pwm sensitivity but nobody is talking about it so it won't get fixed
And should mention features like DC Dimming
@@clickbaitpro yeah exactly!!! But nobody cares about it they're making money, I just wanna be able to use a modern smartphone without a headache or eye strain I've made this exact comment on so many videos but nobody has made a video on it or anything
Blackberry had the photo face rewind about 8 years ago. No idea why it took until now for someone to finally copy that feature. I used to rewind faces in pictures all the time with my BB Z10
Thanks for the informative review 👍
The 7 years updates honestly sealed the deal for me. It was the only reason I was looking at an iphone and now I have zero reason to do so. I am glad they took away the 2nd gpu that was in the tensor and tensor 2. I believe this will help with keeping the device cooler. The real MVP will be the $499.00-$549.00 Pixel 8a but the 8 vs the 8 pro I feel now more than ever the 8 is the winner over the pro. Pro features and quality for hundreds less. Thanks again for great content my friend :)
I will only say that we should be wary of Google's promises, they have a bad record and I can see them not updating a phone for 7 years.
If you can’t afford an iPhone then just say it 😭
@@dadillonful is this the only argument isheep have?
@@alexnovak905 Of course. I have also wached the full apple event and it was more boring then expected. Nothing to look forward to. Not that much excitement like it was before with the 13 and 14 models.
Will you really have a smartphone for 7 years? Naaaa
This feels like a fantastic phone to get in a year, when you still have 6 years of software support but when you can buy refurbished phones for ~50-60% the MSRP
Actually this is a really good point. you could even get it in two years and still have more support than other devices, depending on how much hardware improves over that time, or should I say, doesn't improve.
I think that re-doing a check of how well do google pixels work nowadays would be great.
Pixel phones seem amazing but I feel like suffering from bugs at that pricetag is unacceptable and it'd be cool to see if it is still happening
They still have bugs. Nothing super serious.
In the full review can you please simulate concert/gig lighting? And can you create your own presets in the camera?
Definitely love the new AI features. Love how Google keeps improving on those features for the phones!
The problem with the AI photos is that your end up with "memories" that never happened in reality. Your photo albums will be full of fake memories.
@@ballbustinbandit3558 of course you don't have to use it but we are talking about people using without your consent.

One thing i want to know is the performance and efficiency of the G3 chip, as well as how the battery life is and how the network modem performs.
Great video mate! Thanks!

I left the keynote midway through to watch this video... Tells how far we have come ❤

Great review!!!!!
Great job Marques!!
I'd love to see the Pixel 8 series compared to the Pixel 6 series rather than last year's models. I think more people are going to be upgrading from the 6 than the 7, myself included (potentially).
Idk, Best buy trade in for me is 265 after tax including pre order gifts. It's a fantastic deal (coming from 7 series)
Most average users are on a 2 year upgrade cycle. Typed on my Pixel 6P
Agreed. I'm considering replacing my 6 at the reduced pre-order price.
also agreed
I'm glad I'm not alone lolol
My main concern about the pixel lineup is the battery life. I seriously hope they fix that issue in the tensor G3
A few months ago I gave my dad my pixel 5a and upgraded to the 7a (his 3a was falling apart) and I was rather disappointed in the battery life. It's not abysmal but the 5a would manage to only drain to 50% after at least 6 hours of constant video streaming. The 7a drains to 50% with relatively light usage.
All that opaque Google services and intelligence and whatnot with constant tracking mode on.
@@theSpian1 I've turned off a bunch of those too btw. Specifically the hey Google and screen rate to 60 Hz.
Of course, there is probably dozens of telemetry data that I cannot disable because Google being Google
yeah, I've had a pixel 6 since release and this has been my only real gripe with it, thermals & battery life, I had to factory reset mine a few months ago just so my battery would even last the entire day
turn of gps and background wifi/Bluetooth scan functions they are also battery killers
5a was the last Snapdragon based Pixel device and in my opinion the best phone Google ever made. I was tempted to buy two of them so I'd have a replacement when my current 5a dies. The new Google silicon is not a mature tech with a decade of refinement like Snapdragon, you're basically paying to be a beta tester for Google.
Does anyone remember?
This "best faces swap" feature after a burst shot was already available on the Galaxy Note 4 in 2014. So 9 years ago!!!
I loved that feature and never understood why it wasn't available in following Galaxy models anymore.
Coming from a Pixel 6, I'd be interested to know if any improvements have been made to the fingerprint sensor. This element of the Pixel is what keeps me going back to my S22.
Can't speak about the 8/8 Pro ... but my 7 Pro fingerprint sensor works extremely well. 9.9/10 times it unlocks without a hiccup. When it doesn't unlock it's generally because my finger was wet, or I was way off on the placement of my finger. So I imagine the 8/8Pro will be as good or better.
Pixel 6 Pro fingerprint works like a charm on mine
I had a 6, and now have a 7 (did a trade in for a great deal last year) and the fingerprint sensor is noticeably better. Can't speak for the 8 but I imagine its fp reader will also be better than the 6
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this. The sensor on my 7 Pro works quite well, as the sensor on my 6 Pro didn't. The face unlock is also handy -- much of the time you don't even need the fingerprint sensor (it does need good light work, and forget it if you're wearing a mask!)
I'm so excited to see how the Video performance is with or without video boost! One feature you didn't talk about specifically is night sight for video. I have had it so many times I just wanted to capture an important moment, but it was too dark and your video turns out to be a pix-elated mess and you can't see anything. Hopefully this solves that problem.
The Temp sensor might seem gimmicky at first, but I could definitely see some interesting and useful applications for it if they keep improving and adding things to it in the coming months/years. Probably the first Pixel phone in quite a while that I'm really thinking of upgrading to. Dig the fact that screen is no longer rounded and has that cleaner flat design
You could theoretically use it for photos to get more accurate colors. (White balance)
screen is no longer rounded? 🤔
@@anuragnair5 I probably should have worded that better. I meant that on the 7 Pro the screen is rounded on the sides kind of like the S23 Ultra to a certain degree. It looks nice, but I never found it really useful and makes the screen more prone to damage on the sides from an impact
I feel it's gonna disappear in the next gen like the radar array thing from the pixel 4.
Is it not weird to put the ability to check someone's forehead temp in everyone's hands? Like I don't know if this person is a zombie or not, thank God I happen to have a thermometer on my phone. Maybe the laser scanners we have been using since 2020 look too much like a gun so they changed it to a phone. *tightenstinfoilhat*
Need you test sample cases , especially "mag safe" cases. I loved my latercase carbon but had to add a " mag " adapter. I feel that that should start being industry standard
video boost review is much needed!!
7 years of security and software updates is crazy! Reminds of the past times where companies used to care about their products and consumers and just delivers to them the best effort possible.
Yeah... Google doesn't care about consumers, I wouldn't get your hopes up. All big corporations care about just one thing 🤑
When was that lmao? Android would always just have 2 years of updates and that would be it
How many updates did you receive for your Nokia phones?
@@DaProHobbit true the 💰
Except of course, we know that they don't. They may be able to promise long Updates, but given this hardware I suppose the phone will not last long enough to see its final update.
Would like to see a lot about the camera. Really interested in the new software upgrades
would really be interested in the pixel watch 2 battery. the only thing keeping me away from pixel watch is the battery life. and how about its compatibility with other phone brands? would the features still work on a samsung?
On Pixel 8, the ultrawide camera is updated to include autofocus, which brings Macro Focus outside our Pro series for the first time.
Pixel 8 does it have macro as Google claims
Really excited for testing it myself.
Love the temp sensor, these are the kind of updates I like to see. Phones experimenting with something completely new.
I'm a mechanic. I'm gonna buy one, seems so useful
It seems useful for people with certain jobs. Great addition to the phone.@@rome525

Today had a technical session on GenAI at work. Had an iPhone14 person beside me trying to check on technical terms and checking on subject context. Gave up researching in less than 15 min of switching multiple tools. Remembered the comprehension Pixel8 can do. Just came home and bought Pixel 8, finally did it!
Hi it’ll be great if you can test the cinematic mode and have they improved upon it from last year
the thing about 'best take' is it used to be an auto feature in google photos. it would detect multiple same images of people and would completely take faces from other images and swap them. maybe it was a beta thing but it was insanely impressive. this was like 2014 era
Pretty common tactic for tech companies, especially Google. Use people's data for years to train their software, then once it's refined, put it behind a paywall.
@@rokko_hates_japanokay, yes, but they also built an open source operating system for free. So I have trouble being too hard on them.
This is the first pixel I am actually intersted in. I mainly disliked pixel phones for their screens, but the 8 looks surprisingly up to date.
Same. I wanted to buy the iphone 15 pro but I really like this 8 pro. I am waiting the reviews though
what is wrong with the Display? bcs its curved?
@@EinEgomane2 They used to be fairly poor in terms of color and brightness as well. Considerably behind Apple and Samsung. Let's see if they fixed it.
@@EinEgomane2probably
@@EinEgomane2 size, and hz. the pixel 7 pro was the only one with 120hz, but its size made it a no go for me.
Really good presentation.
Wow, You are amazing 👏 literally the best review I've ever seen.
I like both the design language of the phone and Google making the OS experience as accessible as possible.
It was interesting to see how the battery and overall thermal performed! I was just waiting for your video! Your impression videos are also informative & dope! You are a true champ! ❤
both of these seem Amazing
Eagerly awaiting PW2 review am missing my AW a lot since switching to Pixel.
