Google Pixel 8 Interview: "The Biggest Shift In Computing, Ever"

- The new Google Pixels have landed - but instead of a hands-on or first impressions video, how’bout we do something a little different this time around? For the 2023 Made By Google event, MrMobile was invited to sit down with Rick Osterloh, the company's SVP of Devices & Services - in other words, the single best person to ask about what’s new and what’s coming for the Pixel. Join Michael Fisher for the on-site interview about the Pixel 8, Pixel Watch 2, and the future of "the Google phone."
[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]
This video was shot on location at the Made by Google 2023 press event at Google's Pier 57 offices in NYC, for which Google provided ground transportation (Uber). Google also provided production assistance in the form of a camera crew, but the editing was by MrMobile himself (which is why the audio quality is not as high as it could be - that's my editing error, not the production crew's).
MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content. While Google was sent an outline of the interview questions beforehand, the questions did not need to be approved and I asked several questions not in the pre-interview brief. No payment was provided and no manufacturer or carrier was afforded a preview, editorial input or copy approval rights concerning this review.

You pressed him harder than I'd expect the majority of outlets to do in these interviews. And his responses did give me a better perspective on their goals, as a Pixel user.
This was great, thanks!
Gold standard for reviewers
He is the best!
I know right! I was surprised to see how hard he was pressing him compared to like MKBHD who plays it safe usually
Exactly, especially when he mentioned they’re new to the hardware game and Michael mentions it’s been 7 years now😂
excactly!
Michael, you asked many of the tough questions, did it in a professional way, and probed when you needed to probe. Hope you get more of an opportunity to chat with these hardware execs in the future. Great work man!
Really insightful interview - good job buddy!
exactly, i love these kind of interviews!
Thank you my friend!
Tom and Michael, favorite and trusted reviewers.
I agree!
I’m beyond impressed by your interview. I thought it had a very healthy amount of celebration for their new releases with sincerely asked tough questions the people are genuinely curious about. In fact at times I found myself a little surprised you asked such things. Very impressed! I don’t think I would have had the guts! Great job.
Thank you for asking all the right questions, leading us to understand more about Google and the insights of the whole Pixel ecosystem. It's a HUGE step in right direction for Google to have 7 years of software updates for the Pixel 8 series, and we certainly hope Google will keep its promise.
Correct
7 years of software updates is just crazy good holyyy
Likely to NEVER happen. Not even hating on Google, this is just going to be a promise.
I'll believe it when I see it. Google is famous for cancelling things.
@@RealJoseph123when did they not hold their promise about device software support?
They’ve always had a support promise for Pixels (e.g. 5 years of security) and even Chromebooks, and they did support up to their promise.
If they don’t, they can definitely be sued big time.
Don’t rely on a company that consistently breaks promises…
@@OmarZ77 Have you’ve seen Killed By Google by any chance? 🤔
More of these interviews please. Having someone who have worked on this stuff for soooo long talk about it's future is highly insightful. Also you didn't hold back on asking difficult questions, solid work there 💯
I was amazed that this was your first on-camera live interview, Michael - it was excellently executed and you asked some great questions! Great job! 👌
Interview was absolutely excellent. Would definitely not say it was too soft, just enough pressure imo. Hope there are many more of these to come.
Great job Michael. Casual but focused with plenty of preparation. Professional interviewers could learn a thing or two. Right on man.
That was absolutely amazing! I would never expected you to ask such hard hitting questions, great job. To Rick's credit, he handled those questions quite well in my opinion. This type of video was awesome. I'd rather watch this than watch a highlight video or a hands on video about the event.
Honestly couldn't tell this was your first in person interview. You asked the right questions for sure. This was awesome and the high praise he gave their work in improving thermals left me hopeful about my preorder. Thanks fornthe interview
Yeah! Like a professional interviewer ! Is he a journalistm
I remember the days when Rick was working for Motorola (when they were owned Google) and they produced such cool products like the first the Moto G and the Moto X, probably my favorite smartphone of all time and one of the most innovative ones I have ever seen. That phone brought to light so many awesome software features that became standard in most smartphones of today. Anyways I'm glad he's still doing his thing at Google, he's a real talent!
The Moto G was probably the best device at that time. I remember breaking one (seawater) but I got a second one instead because it was so cheap and I liked it so much.
The best smartphone of all time was the Pixel 4a, in my opinion. If they somehow pull a similar one with the 8a, but with 7 years of software support... It's the first time I'm rooting for Google.
And even when Rick was at Motorola BEFORE owned by Google. They made the best Android experience
I had the first gen moto x. Loved that phone.
He's awesome
Great get! First the big call to Apple's event and now this? You should be proud. This kind of interaction is also squarely in your wheelhouse. You should do more of this. Engaged and engaging!
By the way this conversation went, clearly Michael should do more of these. He was just like a seasoned interviewer there, pressing where it mattered and giving us a good round up on what's latest with the Pixel brand. Another leap after being in the Apple launch.
He is a seasoned journalist, not just some random RUclipsr
These questions clearly demonstrate the passion and knowledge Michael has!
So interesting, different, and in-depth. Keep up the awesome work Mr. Mobile!
Indeed
What I'm really excited about is their intention to expand to more markets. Here in the Philippines, I believe there is a strong community of Pixel users and they always find ways to get the devices in their hands even though there's no official seller locally. I really do hope they expand here in PH. Surely a lot of Filipinos will certainly consider getting into the Pixel experience once it's officially sold here locally.
And yeah, the 7 years of OS updates is really crazy. Excited to see how this device matures until 2030.
Intending to do something and doing it are two totally different things
+1 pre, pero take his statement a pinch of salt, justlike apple sa pinas puro official 3rd party lng as of now store nila wala tlga sila official flagship store. kaya mejo aasa padin tayo.
@@jevonsims900 I agree and at least it's a step in the right direction if there's any hope of it being released here in PH.
@@markdarwinvillarta3768 Yes I agree and that's why I used the word "hope". I never did say that they WILL expand here in PH. Either way, you can agree with it being a good thing if ever they expand here in PH. At least with your Apple example, you can expect official support to come in the near future whereas Pixel hanggang asa nga lang.
One benefit in having Pixel officially sold locally if ever is 5G support. Yun wala currently kahit na I know the bands used locally are supported by the phone it's only the carrier list in the device prevents the use of 5G in PH unless you unlock and root the phone. I know may NTC regulation din, but that's only possible if they officially sell Pixels locally.
Curious lang ako, kamusta Software updates ng mga pixel phone user dito sa pinas?
Hope they fixed the signal issues with T-Mobile. Kept seeing 5GUC! Full bars but no data. Switched to Sammy and iPhone zero issues
I had this problem as well. Had to switch to LTE only to get around it.
@@d3vastat0r89 Google could've just made a cheaper 4G LTE device in that case.
Thank you for the question about expanding Google Store. It's baffling why some regions are deliberately avoided, despite the presence of ALL Google services and multiple Google development/R&D centres. Also, love the new show format, Mike!
Please continue doing more of these interviews because its really the only way us consumers can get definitive answers to our common questions.
Outside all the praise I'm seeing for asking the tough questions, and rightfully so, I'd like to say thanks as always for the disclosure section. I haven't seen any other tech reviewer disclose the specifics of what goes into their videos, especially an interview like this. For lack of a better term, it is a breath of fresh air to see someone be so transparent with their content. Thanks, Mr. Mobile.
true
so glad you asked about other countries. we really want the Pixel here in Mexico! 🇲🇽
Shame he deflected your question about the killed-off products but I thought you did well with the interview. I was pleased to see you asking some non-softball questions too. I definitely think your channel has room for an interview like this every so often
Haha he definitely dodged a couple of questions throughout the interview. Given his position and responsibilities I can't entirely blame him but I do hope we can continue to see more transparency from people in his position in the future!
Could not stop myself from saying this.. This was an absolutely brilliant interview... Not holding back the tough questions and asking them in a way that is impossible to ignore..
Can’t say enough about your incredible skills my man. Always a joy to watch your content. Really impressed with how you crafted the tough questions that many have been asking for years. Just not directly to their face lol.
Excellent interview! You are the only one that knows enough to ask good questions, and push when you're not satisfied with the answer. Good balance
This was a great video! Surprised to hear you say it was your first interview. You hit all the points I cared about and helped relieve some of my concerns about the 8 pro and Pixels in general as a Pixel user.
Keep up the great work🤙🤙
Michael your interview set the bar up high - it's now the gold standard for me in tech world. Fantastic job, will look forward to more of these.
Wow. That was totally unexpected. Thank-you for a wonderful interview. This was so much better than watching the same old presentation recap/spec sheet + short hands on. Excellent, please do this again. You’re the best !
BRILLIANT!! Since I am heavily invested in Google services and Pixel hardware, I sincerely thank you for asking these hard questions and covering so many different topics in such a short time. AMAZING STUFF!! ♥
The chromebooks just keep on working
Michael, you are one of the main tech reviewers I trust and this did not seem like a Google PR interview. Thank you
Great work as usual Michael. I've been using Google phones since the Nexus 4 here in Hong Kong. However, since the Pixel 2, Google has decided to no longer officially sell their phones in Hong Kong, which means no 5G support for the Pixel 6 and onwards. I've been waiting for Google to officially sell them here for years and if they don't expand, then I'm afraid I'd have to switch, even though I've loved their phones and been a big supporter. Meh.
Wow, GREAT interview. Great work! You asked so many great questions that didn’t allow run-of-the-mill marketing answers and you knew when to press a little more. And your professionalism cannot be overstated. The best video to come out of the Made by Google event today!
Real time heart rate in a passive mode is very impressive, Apple doesn’t do that
Great questions! You did a wonderful job asking them. As someone who really wants to return to a google device, this definitely was an important interview. Being in Texas outdoors, my Nexus phone would overheat in the summer when I needed it to send something for work and it made me look bad consistently. I really truly hope they figure out how to improve overheating, especially given how how this past summer was. My iPhone on the other hand handles it well for the most part and didn’t leave me hanging for long on times when it too overheated.
That last question about trusting support for features was also spot on. How do I know they’re not going to give up something I’ve grown to love and get great use out of? Thank you!!
Watching this makes me wish I'd seen you do more interviews! Super professional but conversational, and loved the way you approached the questions.
Those questions were incredible. Really loved that someone out there was asking the right questions. That was great!
I’m sceptical that they fixed thermal issues but Rick mentioning that they did specifically work to make it better and half acknowledging problems with previous pixels has me hopeful. I preordered the 8 pro (mainly for amazing preorder bonus) to replace my 6 pro… reviews will determine if I cancel/return it. Seems like the 8 pro could fix the few problems I had with the 6 pro
While I'm sure the 8 pro will be better, I can agree that the pixel 6 in the moments you least expect it.
Hi which colour buds did you go for I got those blue ones 😊
@@mall231 I got the pixel watch 2 pre-order bonus. I have pixel buds pros in black tho
As per always, you do an amazing job on this channel! Your interview with Osterloh was fantastic… you displayed advanced, yet comfortable interviewing skills and I’ve love you do more interviews in the future. Thanks for everything you do!
This was an incredible interview, you asked many of the questions that I've personally had. Props to Rick Osterloh for sitting down with you and thoughtfully answering some tough questions! Hope to see more of this kind of content in the future.
I loved this interview, and YES please do more! My wife switched from years of Galaxys to Pixel 7 Pro, and she loves it, me being a photographer, loves how that works, I have mad respect for Google and its tech! Thank you very much!
The Pixel brand is honestly very special and I hope they continue to shepherd it into the future. Excellent interview, Michael.
Great interview! Had great questions and Rick was ready for the with some good answers! Sure you could've asked about thermals but we'll find out about that in the near future with full reviews coming out. You asked questions we wanted to know, and some we didn't know we wanted to know.
Micheal, you asked everything I wanted someone to ask Google regarding Pixel, that I might not expect someone will ask them.
You really are one of the best.
I ended up switching to iPhone because of all the pixel 7 issues i had, maybe in a few years i will switch if they get really good
You’re never going back
Imho, the Pixel 8 is as lame as the 7 and the 6. Barely reaches an okay level. Save your money, and buy yourself a Pixel 4 XL or a Pixel 5a5G. The last, almost really good Pixel phones (And the best they made thus far, together with the Pixel 3. They never made a complete smash hit though. I'm still waiting for it. Problem is, that the last two times they where close, they decided to make a major shift in the internal and exterior design. The first time was the switch from Nexus phones to Pixels. The second time was from Pixel 5a5g to the Pixel 6 line up. A clear step back in pretty much every single way. The Pixel 6's was more or less a flopp. The Pixel 7 lineup was really just the Pixel 6 lineup mostly corrected. I.e. what the bare minimum for the Pixel 6's should've been. And now you got the Pixel 8 lineup which may actually, finall, after three generations be on par and in some areas surpass the Pixel 4 XL. But we are four freaking generations down the line.. we should be able to get, oh so much more out of a phone from Google at this point. So once again, I can only say.. "Well.. you're moving in the right direction.. You're getting there.. slowly but surely. Just a few more years). And with that in mind, let me give you a little tip. As of right now, or at least, the last time I checked, you could get yourself a brand new Pixel 4XL and a genuine leathercase for like 350 USD. Or a Pixel 5a5G for about the same price on eBay. And after you do that, you got yourself a nice phone for the next three-four years. And then you'll be good and ready for the Pixel 11 or 12. Which will probably be the model where Google finally gets their act together completely (my estimation, based on their past phone making)(hopefully 😬🤞).
@@Superknullisch where can you get a new Pixel 4?
Great video for a few reasons. I've just ordered the pixel 8 pro so always great to get a deeper insight into the thinking behind new tech, but on a personal level I'm in the process of setting up a new interview based RUclips channel so was fantastic to see your setup and approach! You did great and heart warming to see you reflect upon how it went. More please! Keep up the fine work sir
Great interview. It's nice to see good questions actually being asked. Feels like interviews like this are typically just fluff but this was the opposite. A lot of questions that people actually want answered were asked instead of the usual PR stuff. I appreciate the quality content you consistently put out! :D
Hard to ask follow-ups to everything when time is short. You hit on a lot of good points and it was a really enjoyably interview to watch, so thank you and excellent job!
Really enjoyed this "new" format for you Michael - I think more of this would be great. One question I would like answered is how they plan to change or improve the watch repair/replacement options. Thanks for this!
Definitely get how reflecting on your own work always leads to thoughts of areas of improvement (and that’s a good characteristic to have) but you should be very proud of this interview. You posed a balanced set of questions and had them all answered in a limited amount of time. This interview will definitely be referenced across the web
Great interview, Michael. Don't be too hard on yourself about what you think you missed or should have pressed harder about. Interviewing people is hard and takes years to master. You asked fantastic questions. Keep up the great work 👍
What an amazing interview. Idk why you think you held back because you did phenomenally well!
These were some much needed questions which we as users actually wanted to know and not just some “stiff around corporate bs” questions.
Best in the game for a reason!
This was a Great interview and it was fun and informative. It's nice to see the big guys of a company interviewed and asked questions that are important and that are on our mind! I know I would definitely love a bigger pixel watch and I can definitely relate to a lot of the things that were asked in this interview. Kudos to you for doing this for us and everybody in the Google and Android ecosystem!!
Good stuff on the longevity and straight up asking the 'vs Apple' question (and kudos to Rick for having a reasonable answer that didn't sound defensive). I love the self-criticism at the end; it was a good interview, and your awareness and desire to improve mean the next one will be even better.
You needn’t second guess yourself on this one. The conversation did not feel the least contrived, and I learned more than I expected at the start. I don’t know what else I could ask of an interview, so well done, you.
Great interview, asked legitimate questions that allowed Rick to give thoughtful answers. Questions were tough but fair More tech reviewers should follow this style. But I feel most are just so happy to get the interview they are afraid of asking hard questions for fear of not getting to do it again. Great job 👏
This was great! Definitely hope more interviews take place in the future of this channel. So easily digestible and bringing up some interesting topics. Well done.
Michael Awesome Interview and can’t wait to hear more.Great Questions but definitely want more information on the Fold . I also want to see and hear more on the Watch because I used the Fitbit watches for Years .Especially when I had Gym Memberships that I no longer use, but would like to know how they incorporated it in to the Watch. Thanks so much for sharing.✌️💯
I thought it was a good interview! I would definitely be interested in seeing future interviews. The more you do it, the more you'll stream line your process. I love your videos! I try to watch every one you bring out. I also appreciate your want for transparency and full disclosure. I trust you and the information you bring. Please keep it all up.
I love this. You pressed hard, really asking all the hard and true questions that many pixel fans have been wondering. in my opinion, this guy done all he could a while ago, it's time for people who are more capable to take over
Great interview! Thanks for doing and uploading this video! It was great seeing the vision from Google 1st person and their view of their own perception publicly and their direction on the Pixel lineup. It would be interesting to see if they ever intend to pick up Pixel for Chrome OS again.
Great job from both parties tuff questions where asked and rick did a great job answering them straight from the cuff . ❤it. And the pixel 8 is a defiant buy for me . Just placed my order ✌️🍻
About four months ago I commented on a Made by Google community post asking them to introduce a blue color, rounder corners, and a matte back on the Pixel 8 lineup…and they delivered! I like to think they heeded my requests, even tho it may have been coincidence lol. Hoping to make the upgrade this year!
Thank You SO MUCH for your level of journalism during this interview. Your content has been like an island I’ve stumbled upon over a sea of endless RUclips videos reiterating on PR companies want influencers to focus on. Great work to you and the Mr Mobile team.
Excellent interview and impressed you managed to press on topics such as different services, products, along with trickier questions re long term support ( or lack of ). Could easily have fallen into just talking about the products released today.
Loved this interview, thank you so much for doing it. I've been a big fan of Rick from his Motorola time, he always came off as such a genuinely nice guy and I'm really happy that he's been leading the Pixel team and the Pixel 8 phones are really the best Pixel yet. I was truly blown away with some of the AI camera features and I'm super excited to get my 8 Pro next week in Bay Blue :)
For a first in-person interview you did great (I actually can't believe this is number 1 after all these years of watching you across various channels)
Ricks time is likely incredibly valuable - so you would have been under pressure to make best use of a very limited time window, and it's hard to go off-script to follow up on a very interesting answer or to dig deeper, knowing it might throw the rest of your interview off.
Anyway - more of these "from the horses mouth" interviews would be great, especially say, after you have already done a first look/ review and you can affirm or change your thoughts on a device or service based on what the designers/engineers were doing during development.
Why providing 7 years of OS and security update for a phone is such an amazing thing because : 1) it enables consumers to keep a great phone for years to go , then we don't have to waste money on switching phones frequently; 2) it's a showcase of great products that last; 3) environment friendly is so important now ( I have money to upgrade phone doesn't mean I want to, definitely not something I have to) ; 4) higher consumer stickiness
Wow for it being the first interview you asked the best questions that were tough but were very important. This was awesome! Im glad you asked these questions!
This interview was superb! You did a great job at coming across as probing, but fair. More importantly, polished and prepared, while also allowing the guest to shine.
Bravo Mr. Mobile! Looking forward to many more in the future!
Awesome stuff Mr Mobile, a really enjoyable interview that gave me a good insight into their approach. Congratulations on being invited to conduct the interview and I look forward to more in the future.
This interview was way more than the classic tech bro interviewing big tech bro. He asked some legit on point questions!! As someone living in southern Africa and jumping through hoops to get a pixel seeing them. Micheal Fisher is the BOMB when it comes to RUclips reviewers. Please please do more of these, you're asking REAL questions
Thank you for addressing the overheating issue. I experienced that to the point my device would shut down just from uploading photos or using the camera too long. I've never had a device Android or iOS to do that. I hope it has been properly addressed on the 8 Pro.
I sold my Pixel 7 because of this. I went back to Samsung as of now with their SD gen2
I HATE interview videos, especially from fellow techtubers, but this was not only interesting but well paced! Good job Michael
Great job on that interview. Great set of questions and I think I will be going with a pixel when I upgrade in a year. I've been on galaxy since it arrived with the original galaxy and my last non Samsung phone was the HTC 8500 with windows. I love the content you put out. Great job.
Awesome job Michael, thank you. I'm increasingly more intrigued by the Pixel as an iPhone user entrenched in Apple's ecosystem and you touched some really important points. On point, as always! My favorite tech RUclips alongside MKBHD. Keep it up! 🙌
I think you actually did a really good job on the interview. Sure, in retrospect you probably wanted to press a bit a harder on some issues but the interview as a whole seemed relaxed and natural, and you got Rick to talk enthusiastically about a variety of things, which is not nothing on your first try!I’d definitely watch another Michael vs Rick interview! ❤
I enjoyed the interview, and I’d be pleased to see more. It was well prepared with very poignant questions and clear explanations. And a good-mannered interview where the guest was actually allowed to answer the questions without interruption. Mutual respect was clearly present.
Great 1st interview Michael. Excellent set of questions 👍 Would love to see you (or hear you) in your podcast!
I think these can be very interesting, especially at launch. We get the intent and corporate expectations of products/services before the reviews come in and can compare if a device/service performs as advertised. I like it. 👍
One of the many reasons, I'm not just a fan of Mr.Mobile...but I also respect him...Michael never is never afraid to ask direct/real questions and never "sugar-coats"
You did a fantastic job with that interview. Absolutely phenomenal. You’ll never get everything you need in an interview and you nailed all the questions that we as consumers. Want to hear you are fantastic as is your channel.
I never really considered getting a pixel phone but I was really impressed with the latest innovations I saw today at the launch...Your interview was very good considering time limitation and the question about trust in Google was right on...
That was a really good interview! No fluff, relaxed atmosphere, informative. Wish all interviews were as good 👍🏻
I'm really happy you got this opportunity Michael! Really good questions, the you're a great interviewer!
You were SO honest and talked about every single important topic. Absolutely amazing interview!
Btw I can't wait for the Pixel to come to Brazil
Really good, actually substantial convo. He came off well and the interview was not just softballs or a marketing checklist. And then your disclosure at the end was the cherry on top.
You're your hardest critic. You did a fantastic job. I didn't see anything wrong at all. I really loved this interview and I hope you get to do more of them. Great job.
An excellent job, Michael, you're absolutely amazing! You asked all the questions I would have asked if I had a chance to sit in your seat. I'm looking forward to seeing your review of the Pixel 8 Pro and how it performs in the real world!
Superb interview, felt natural and pretty good questions!
You should do more!
I just want to say shout out to you Michael for giving some tough questions, and to be honest shout out to Rick for setting down and taking some tough questions. People can say what they want and maybe he dodged around a couple things but I don't see Tim Cook sitting down and dealing with any tough in your face interviews.
I think you got the tone just right - you got some very informative answers out of him, while being conversational, clear, and insightful. You asked great questions and I'm sure he was happy with the interview - which will bring more opportunities your way.
This interview was sincerely great. Thank you for asking the tough questions!
My two favorite fellas. Well done, good Sirs. Love how Mr Fisher had Rick on the ropes from the first question. Rick handled himself very well. More of these, please!
Being your first interview, I think you did an AMAZING job!
Wonderful interview bro! its so clear that you took the responsibility that comes with having the opportunity to talk to Rick (out of so many of your subscribers that would want to) seriously. You asked all the right questions (even though I wish you mentioned the pixel watch's bezels😭😂). Stellar interview!
@MrMobile, Unlike almost every other RUclipsr on the platform, I Trust You and what you say and stand for. #StandWithMrMobile And I for one am very glad you had this sit down! I also understand that we're our own worst critic, but don't beat yourself up too much. There's only so much truth that you'll get out of a VP-level employee of a company. ;)
With that said (15:24 ), I think the line, "only time will tell..." if Google will continue to keep its word and stop cancelling so many good things that it creates. It's not like they're hurting for money, so who really knows why they cancel so many good things.
Keep up the great work Michael! As always, stay safe and take care.
Excellent questions and great interview overall! Still sad we don't get too much info on expansion 😢
Now it seems that Google is placing itself on the market to provide a very good phone experience with their Pixel only features, but not only that, now they are starting to view their cloud as capable of providing features that no phone however powerful can provide. While I always like having the biggest and greatest in terms of SOC, for a very long time phones have been good enough. I must admit that I only use a fraction of the power of my phone, so a hardware and software shift towards more efficient design is very exciting to me.
A phone that can run at 120 fps on every single everyday task I send it's way, uses the cloud for backup for specific tasks I only use occasionally seems like the way to go. I really hope this translate not only into longer support, but also much more battery life.
Do more of these. I really enjoyed the insight and further details. You're a good interviewer, Michael.
Thank you for taking you for a really good interview! Very goof questions asked and well recieved answers aswell!😊
