Thanks a lot for watching! Looking for a more affordable Pixel phone? Then check out our long-term Pixel 6a vs 7a comparison: ruclips.net/video/R0t_J7zVhug/видео.html
Bought it. Love it! Came from the iPhone and yeah they are great minus the walled garden they have. In my case and preference between the two, LOVE the pixel! Feels more friendly and I think looks nicer. Everything I miss from the apple ecosystem, Google's one is just as nice and very similar so it's perfect for me. Plus Google being available on every device was a HUGE plus for my work life
I am using pixel 6a. It is also getting better. The battery lasts longer, charges faster and heating issues are gone. No lagging at all. But, there is still some signal issue when changing from one sim to another.
Root it if you want the best experience It's got a more powerful CPU than the s23 when you tune it manually. Tensor G3 1 cortex X3 performance core 4 cortex a715 big cores 4 cortex a510 efficiency cores The 8 gen 2 has the same accept it only have 2: 715 cores and 2: 710 cores from last year along with 3 efficiency cores.
Loveeee my pixel 8.. intend to keep this one for the 7yrs they have promised update 😂... But seriously I think I could do that... Its an amazing phone...
@@jejunamja hope it works as well for you. As I mentioned in my first comment above, I'm not a gamer and not a "creator," so my cell phone needs are rather pedestrian & "grown up" a/k/a basic.
tensor has serious performance problems just like exynos chips, on paper the gpu in tg3 is much more powerful than the gpu found in the sd865 which could run gengin impact fairly good. Along with the cpu being miles ahead. So theres clearly something else going on here apart from the notion tensor chips are not made for gaming.
Tensor G3 is much capable of gaming, google is the one that tells everyone its not and scams everyone...G3 is limited by google to avoid thermal issues but some guy managed to uncap it with a kernel and its powerful. Even the memory says its UFS 4.0
How does the really low pulse width modulation feel/effect the experience? Even though the refresh rate is higher, the actual flicker rate is apparently higher too.
I got the Pixel 8 for Christmas and I love it. I'm coming from the Samsung 23 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I'm happy with the smaller phone as the sizes of these phone are so ridiculous.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro and a Z Flip 5. Do you use Google Assistant? If so, is it better on your Pixel than your S23? I ask because GA is not great on my Z compared to Siri on my iPhone; it's slow, doesn't always respond, and won't always read aloud the results.
How's the phone's heating/overheating and battery drain when doing video calls for 40 minutes or longer? This was a huge problem for me with Pixel 6 when first released aside from the systemic warm-to-the-touch feeling simply from web browsing
Never has any thermal issues with my 7, I have no idea what folk are doing with their pixels. In fact the 4xl was the only pixel that did shut dowm through thermals.
help to choose (on basis of your experience) , i will be grateful . i will go for pixel 8 or pixel 7 pro. considering BATTERY + CAMERA Quality for the long run , which will be better of the two ? NB : not getting p8p as it's out of budget and i don't want to invest on a phone that amount :v If you can let me know where can i have greater black friday deal in UK
if you're looking to keep one for the long run then the 8 Pro will get longer software support, and this will come with more camera features in the future, presumably.
Have you done a speed test using 2.4g wifi??? Pixel 8 is not compatible with 801.11 bgn 2.4g wifi, only with 801.11 ax 2.4g wifi...5g wifi there is no problems.... I am only getting 2mbps download speed with b/g/n enabled!!!! Sadly, my smarthome devices can't connect to ax only 2.4g wifi!!! So basically I am screwed....and public wifi is mostly 2.4g bgn!!!! I got a replacement for the pixel 8 and it's doing exactly the same thing!!!
on pixel 8, there is a gap between the aluminum frame and the back cover on the side of the buttons, which is not on the other side. In the promo video, they focus on it, but other users don't have it, is this
I think I have a lemon. My 8 burns through battery. It's 8 am with minimal use I'm down to 65% and it s hot. I'm going to contact Google Store where I bought and see if they will replace.
S23 for me. S23 has been well optimized this year and i’m confident with using this smartphone on the long term with good performance . Most of Pixel features about Audio and Text are not available outside of USA. Also i prefer OneUi.
@@TeamVRY yes but living in Europe, i have fear about rumours with Exynos for S24 ans S24+, Snapdragon only for S24 Ultra. Also, those Pixel sound like Pixel beta because a new chip made by TSMC will come in 2025 if rumors are true. It's annoying.
@@JoeltheG Personally, I really like the design of the Pixel 8. Moreover, its the camera, I’ve heard good things about it and I find that iPhones camera over process the images. For my liking I prefer the photos coming out of the Pixel’s camera. Also, the system is so clean, I love that I have more options to customise my device. To be honest Android became so good especially on the Pixel devices that I am confidently using my Pixel without feeling like I am missing out on something comparing to my iPhone which I still have and I use both devices. The Pixel is just a really nice phone to use in overall. :)
@@JoeltheG same reasons as @mariopapai2903 stated but I was also getting bored of the iPhone experience. There were features that I wanted to use like split screen and a "clear all" tab to close out all open apps at once instead of swiping up for 10 plus apps every time. There are other features that I have come to appreciate like, changing my keyboard, changing how notifications operate, the flexibility to tweak what I don't like, ect. I have everything apple (MacBook, iPad, watch, air pods) but after seeing the pixel 8 and how refined it is, I wanted to check it out. I also was not impressed with the iPhone 15s considering after comparing my iPhone 13 to the 15, I really didn't see a benefit in upgrading(also the 60hz screen on the 15s and slow USB-c charging didn't help considering they're like 800 bucks). Apple is a good brand, but I feel like they're settling, where as Pixel is making moves to improve. Over all, I've been very happy with my experience that the pixel has to offer and I personally think that it a good deal with what it offers.
Great vidéo! I can see you tested different Pixel 8 colours (your previous video was with a black version and on this one it is an hazel version): which is your favorite colour? Thx
I was strictly an iPhone user since the 2g this year with the 15 line up I was bored so I went over to #teampixel. I got the pixel 8 pro pixel watch 2 and pixel buds pro and I love it. Yes the watxh is slow compared to apple but I still love it. The P8P is amazing I love everything about this phone and I haven't thought of going back to apple at all
I have used Pixel 3a, 6a and iPhone 13 Pro. So here's my feedback for someone who is confused between Pixels and iPhones. Pixel 3a was a gold rated phone except for the Performance. After moving to 6a i found the phone to be considerably fast, but not as much as any of the iPhones. However this was my first impression. After using it for a few weeks, i noticed more issues. 6a gets warmer(not hot) every time i use it, video cannot be recorded for more than 5 mins at 30 degree celsius weather. On summer days, after clicking some photos itself phone starts to show over heated warning. Portrait mode is not as good as how it was in my 3a. Edge detection fails most time and its not as good as iPhone now. Again, it doesnt blur the image properly, sometimes half of my image is blurred not the subject itself. Astro mode in Camera never turns on. Shutter speed is quite fast that image quality is compromised compared to my 3a. Overall i would say, 3a had a far better camera than 6a. Apart from this, Then finger print doesn't work most of the time on Pixel 6a. In display finger print on the Pixel 8 is also not ultrasonic and hence not as fast as flagships. Overall i would say, quality of Pixels has degraded much after switching to Tensor. I wouldn't recommend it any more. Now coming to iPhone, when compared to Pixel, you get better video quality, a good camera system overall, better micro phone and speakers, better UI/UX, better ecosystem, Offline AI and Albums,Face ID that works in night too, better resale value. Overall iPhone is a better value for money compared to Pixel 8 i can say. You may still go for Pixel if you are getting it at a much cheaper Price compared to iPhone 15.
Only problem I have with Pixel devices 6-8Pro is the Tensor chip is a bad chip. Google Pixel is a Samsung made beta phone being passed off as a suitable premium iPhone alternative.
Yea but if the modem still sucks it's not worth the upgrade. Biggest issue on my 6 pro and I hear that the 8 pro is not any better but could actually be worse. I want to upgrade really bad but if the phone calls are not any better I'll wait and hope they fix it in the 9
I love this but I can't decide whether or not to use my Pixel 5 as a trade in or not. I adore that phone to no end! I might just keep it and buy this 8 out right instead.

How was the transition from Apple to Google? I am leaving Apple and wanted to know if your iMessage, music, iCloud, etc was able to transfer over.

Same here my 6a use to get so hot but now no more
I love my Pixel 8. Battery is good, no lags or over heating. I traded in my S23 for it and have no regrets.
Root it if you want the best experience
It's got a more powerful CPU than the s23 when you tune it manually.

How to tune it manually
What is better on the pixel 8 than on the s23?
@@MNuggat s23 would be the best phone out right know if it has an SD card in my opinion.
@@MNuggat why not just wait for a phone with the dimestity 9300, it's going to be more powerful than 8 gen 3.

Hey Mike -- I'm still _very_ content with my Pixel 8. As a non-gamer & non-'creator' my performance, battery & connectivity experience has been great.
that's great to hear! happy with mine as well.
how is it with data use , as my Pixel 7 would get real warm
@@jejunamja I have never experienced any heating issues with my Pixel 8, neither on wifi nor mobile data. But I'm _not_ a heavy mobile data user.
@@malcontent_1 hey thanks for taking your time and that’s helpful for me to decide whether to pick up a pixel eight

Agree ! Tensor is really bad ! Midrange level 🫠
It’s the heating. The chip gets throttle once it gets hot and slow down performance to cool down. The thermal design is important too.
How does the really low pulse width modulation feel/effect the experience? Even though the refresh rate is higher, the actual flicker rate is apparently higher too.
HUUUGE jump in quality with the ultraHDR! Didnt even know about that feature
How is it for macro photo? Is the pixel 8 pro much better in macro and worth the extra costs and bulky phone size?
Very clean video, good quality voiceover and main points covered…👍
much appreciated! thanks for dropping by.

@@NaiveBanana For me the battery is good. It depends on your usage.

And the 5a 5g too
help to choose (on basis of your experience) , i will be grateful .

Ive definitely been steady enjoying mine
Bro i sell my pixel 6a buy iPhone 15 but i don’t like my iPhone so it’s worth buying pixel 8 over iPhone 15 ??
if you have the budget for it, why not
@harleypang 😂 me also think same pixel 10 maybe use Tsmc for tensor g5 control the heating issue
No
Have you done a speed test using 2.4g wifi???

How does a screen only do 60-120hz? Cant you do lower frames on any panel? (Not super techy in screen tech)
on pixel 8, there is a gap between the aluminum frame and the back cover on the side of the buttons, which is not on the other side. In the promo video, they focus on it, but other users don't have it, is this
Definitely not perfect but getting better with the faster screen, longer software support, and nice AI features
for sure!
Absolutely love my P8
Do you not use Instagram. That thing is always on eating battery in the background
Is the battery at least better than the galaxy s10 has?
Is there ANY significant difference to last model when you use it?
Yes most definitely i got the p6 p7 and p8 it's significantly better trust me
I think I have a lemon. My 8 burns through battery. It's 8 am with minimal use I'm down to 65% and it s hot. I'm going to contact Google Store where I bought and see if they will replace.
did you reach out? did they replace it?
@@hassanabdullah1500 actually, deleted an app and adjusted some settings. Been very happy lately.
Ordered one, for 550$. Good deal considering the camera is almost equally as good as the IPhone, but significantly cheaper
stick with 7, had my eight for a couple of hours and honestly don't upgrade as it feels like a smaller 7 and no performance or brightness difference.
S23 for me. S23 has been well optimized this year and i’m confident with using this smartphone on the long term with good performance . Most of Pixel features about Audio and Text are not available outside of USA. Also i prefer OneUi.

nice!
Just an expensive midrange phone! There are way better options in the market ! Google failed again 🫠
it's not a big upgrade from last year. But $100 more expensive.
