I've been following you since the Pixel 4XL days (I bought one) and I gotta tell you... You really make reviews and explain what an user needs/should know when he buys a phone. I've upgraded to the Pixel 8pro and once again you helped me to understand better, my phone. 🤜
@@AB1B1 haha I think I was inspired by your comment. Specifically with what is going on with "youtubers/influencers". I get irritated because I love to view reviews.
I spent an hour trying to disable ultra-hdr it is super annoying to me, a workaround is to edit the photo which removes the ultra hdr when you save it or view the photo with different app, not google photos. The 50mb option is not giving me any advantages, i only tested with the main lens, will give the other lenses a try. Awesome video as always.
best video on pixel review man. really really good job. super appreciate the hard work you are doing here. makes me feel guilty of watching all these for free
Nooo way, they removed the 360° Mode??? Someone please tell me there is still a way to access it Edit: They pulled an Apple move with that... I love that feature because it always makes one able to experience photos as if you are in the place the photo was made in
Yeah, I went to museum and did a ton of photosphere shots inside. Also, was remodelling the kitchen and was able to give a really good idea to the designer of my room before they arrived. Really good photo app. They need to bring it back, asap.
Talking about my Pixel 7 Pro, when I see the "details" of the photo on google photos I dont see the "Ultra HDR" laber, but if I share that same photo and paste the link on google chrome, then there I can see the photo on ultra hdr and I can see the label of "ultra HDR" on details but only in chrome
I've noticed that using Picture in Picture for apps like RUclipsTV, Netflix, Amazon and Peacock drop the overall screen refresh rate. There is a jitter when scrolling in other apps while having a video in the corner of the screen. Maybe some testing of common social media apps will be a good test. So far I can tell most apps aren't optimized for the Pixel 8. Even Google's own apps weirdly.
About the display settings at the end of the video, I could change it in the Pixel 7 Pro in developer options to set smallest width to 484 do from 448 dp to achieve more text on the screen like the 8 pro...love this mode
why not a single youtuber is talking about the peak brightness on pixel 8? I've had this phone for a week now and while in direct sunlight, it goes from 2400 nits to below 2000 nits in no more than a minute (gets pretty hot, too, and it isn't hot outdoors). Iphone 14 pro suffers from the same but it takes noticeably longer to drop brightness.
What about scrolling stuttering? Why everybody silenced about this issue on Pixel 7, 7 Pro and 8, 8 Pro? This issue is still not fixed on Google flagship phones!
9:20 What do you mean by that? Did Google completly remove the ability to make 360° panos? Photo Sphere was my favourite google exclusive camera feature and I dont get why they would remove it...
That photo editor AI is really cool! My main problem with magic eraser was the artifacts left behind and this is now almost perfectly blended into the photo. Im hoping some of these features filter down to the tensor g2 models since they literally released the pixel fold only a few months ago.
Thanks Emad for the review ,one question does it work on 5G mobile band in UAE as I got one but never connected to 5G in UAE mobile bands either Du or Etisalat
u don't have to increase display size go to developer option tap on smallest display and change dpi it's far better than changing display size from display settings
The real question is: are these features available all over the world, or is it like the pixel 7 where everyone on the blog pays the same price BUT without certain features in certain countries???
thanks for mentioning the display size.....odd that goog dropped a size for the 8. defintely takes some time to get used to and of course on the home screen it makes the empty space between date/time and apps look even worse
Another awesome vid Emad 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿. Did you see the last Gboard update added one-tap emoji skin tones. Personally I liked selecting my own per emoji, but I guess it's a nice feature.
I see that you have + indicator in the camera app. Is that the level indicator? I'm not able to have that on my Pixel 8 Pro. May I know where can I turn that on? Thanks!
Hey bro, I just wanted you to know that I wish you would make a video on how to turn on the features that are not automatically on clear voice and things like that. It's been 9 hours and I still don't know how to turn it on😂😂😂😂
Great and very informative video as always. Please let me ask question: now that you have both the Pixel 8 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which one would you recommend the most? Thank you!
For someone who just uses his phone for the essential things the iPhone because it's better than the Pixel in this stuff but for a person who loves tech and innovation it's the Pixel. I think the 8 Pro needs a couple of software updates to show it's full potential
Some gripe i have with pixel and these feature is the time it takes to complete these actions. I really wish they can speed up these process. Once i tried showing a colleague some features. It took so long it became so embarrassing. Also these features also take a toll on the thermals and battery life. I just wish Google could have a better processor and thermals.
Other thing i notice in this video is the quality of the front facing camera. The video is so bad and grainy. With all these AI google have, they could’ve at least improve the front facing camera to a level or at least close to the one we had in the pixel 2 or 3 back camera. Right now, it is not.
i cant wait for the pixel when it becomes samsung chip free , which hoefully will come with the pixel 10, the thought of google out there sounds awesome, true android experience
Running cool for me. All day battery as well on the pixel 8. I'm not on a beta but my 6a on the beta definitely got hot sometimes. So far I haven't noticed much warmth only while charging once.
If you want new camera features you can sideload GCam version 9.1 with them enabled, and also Google Photos to take advantage of Ultra HDR photo and editing features. There's really not much else that changed to warrant upgrading after just one generation.
install latest beta, wifi calling i dont know. if you need all features which is availble in US, root stock rom and enable all fatures and opt in for beta. you will have all tye faetures turned on without root.
Best Pixel channel by far... Your in-depth reviews are second to none. This channel is so underrated.

@@icardoso8 Wow! Awesome.
Super awesome video btw, Emad, I really like your in-depth content. Can't wait for your 6 Pro v 7 Pro and 8 Pro camera comparisons 👍
That would be great
Really I have 6 pro... Want to how the camera has changed over 2 years... Or still my pixel rocks
@@darylmendonca2784 you're pixel 6 will still rock. For sure.
Once again you've absolutely nailed it! You explain everything in such detail and with great clarity. Thank you!
This is a really good channel. Always informative and to the point. I don't even have a Pixel 8/Pro but enjoy the content. Keep up the good work! 👍🏽
You have really good comments. I'm saving your video as a tutorial to refer to when needed. Thanks for the details, you really helped me!
Great video Imad. I'm sure this level of detail takes a lot of effort and time but it is so helpful to make informed decisions. Thank you !!
It looks like some of the ring tones now have synchronized vibrations which is nice.

You should be able to use a gcam mod of an older version to get it back
So helpful! Thanks very much
Thank you, very informative !!! Can't wait to experiment more with the advance (pro) options.
Hands on/off/free experience with best take. No hands were harmed 😂
24:50 - I had the exact same notification but when I PUT a screen protector on!! haha, it suggested I turned on that setting. Super cool
Quick question Emad - do you prefer stock Pixel launcher? If so, why? Nova? Your videos are sooooo useful!
You always impress me with your reviews on smartphones. Excellent work
We are for a full comparison with 7p and 6p about display speakers buttons camera etc...
Just amazed by how deep you've dived into the features and found all out. Thanks for this informative video

What an awesome video. You've even shown options that others say can't be done.
Top shelf.
I alwaus used photosphere instead of panorama . Made more sense to take those photos one by one standing still than moving the phone slowly
thank you for review!
Love Sir
Massive respect Form Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Great video.
Amazing video.. 👏🔥
Good Review 💯 where did you get Pixel here in UAE?
The screen of the Pixel 8 Pro looks so much better! 😍
At a glance and New Gem ringtones are also available on my Google Pixel 7. ❤
Very useful & thorough video! Thank you!
What about scrolling stuttering? Why everybody silenced about this issue on Pixel 7, 7 Pro and 8, 8 Pro? This issue is still not fixed on Google flagship phones!
Por fin llegaste. Justo el análisis más imparcial de RUclips.
These are some great features for the Pixel 8 and that Bay colour is stunning!
9:20 What do you mean by that? Did Google completly remove the ability to make 360° panos? Photo Sphere was my favourite google exclusive camera feature and I dont get why they would remove it...
A great watch for new Pixel owners!
Subscribed ❤
The most awaited for me tho. ❤️
🥰Love form India 🇮🇳🥰
Does best take require to upload all photos to cloud or will it work locally?
7:42 - Emad, usin my Pixel 8 Pro, the maximum astrophotography time is still 4:02, I don't know why yours is showing 3 minutes
I tried it many times and it's always the same, I covered the lens completely and made it pitch black, did you try this?
Another great video keep up the good work 🤘🏼🔥
That photo editor AI is really cool! My main problem with magic eraser was the artifacts left behind and this is now almost perfectly blended into the photo. Im hoping some of these features filter down to the tensor g2 models since they literally released the pixel fold only a few months ago.
yea, most of googles tricks seems on the server side.
Thanks Emad for the review ,one question does it work on 5G mobile band in UAE as I got one but never connected to 5G in UAE mobile bands either Du or Etisalat
The pixel 7 pro can take UltraHDR photos with gcam 9.1 but for some reason doesnt show anymore on google photos, I can see UltraHDR on lightroom only
15:49 bro got flabbergasted 😅

go to developer option tap on smallest display and change dpi

The review I waited for.
The Ultra HDR Photos are blinding my eyes, and hard to do editing. Can someone share how to turn it off?
OMG. I really want it.
Excellent review here again.
Bro from where did you buy the phone
Am not getting anywhere in UAE
I was thinking to wait for google to unveil more software before getting this one, what do you think is all the features they annoucned coming soon?
I am expecting the December feature drop to deliver most of them
Nobody shows software details like you. Thank you for all your fantastic videos!
I see that you have + indicator in the camera app. Is that the level indicator? I'm not able to have that on my Pixel 8 Pro. May I know where can I turn that on? Thanks!
Why is GCAM mentioned in this review? Did you install GCAM before doing the camera review instead of using what the phone came with?
For Pixel 8 pro they changed the smallest width to 448 DP, that’s why it looks smaller. I kind of like it tho.
It's seems when using audio eraser it turn the sound in mono. Nice video thanks
Hi Emad, does VOLTE and 5G work in UAE?
Hey bro, I just wanted you to know that I wish you would make a video on how to turn on the features that are not automatically on clear voice and things like that. It's been 9 hours and I still don't know how to turn it on😂😂😂😂
They also integrated magic eraser in Snapchat
Thanks
Really appreciated
Thanks❤

We are waiting for the in-depth camera comparison with Iphone 15 pro max.
Will the Pixel 7 Pro receive the camera updates such as higher resolution, manual controls, pro mode from the newly launched Pixel 8 Pro?
It likely will eventually, but not soon. To get them now you can sideload a ported version of google camera and google photos.
i cant wait for the pixel when it becomes samsung chip free , which hoefully will come with the pixel 10, the thought of google out there sounds awesome, true android experience
Yes I am waiting for it too, but the 8 Pro is a good performer so far.
Audip eraser looks well
The audio eraser part was mind blowing, thank you so much for your detailed videos and analysis
that's it, please talk about the battery and overheating if there are any problems and thanks sir great like always
Running cool for me. All day battery as well on the pixel 8. I'm not on a beta but my 6a on the beta definitely got hot sometimes. So far I haven't noticed much warmth only while charging once.
Be careful of this guy with a fake name, under my comments,
Waiting for your pixel 8 video's ❤️
i wonder why my pixel 8 pro wont do this moving a person within the pic
Have you experienced any bugs on your unit? Mine kills apps randomly for some reason, having 12GB of RAM this shouldn't be a problem
opt in for beta will give you 5G and many lags all are gone.
try changing the smallest width to 411 in developer settings
Hello Emad, thanks for the reviews. Emad, I have Pixel 7Pro 256gb. I want your opinion whether to upgrade to 8 Pro or to stay on what I have.
If you want new camera features you can sideload GCam version 9.1 with them enabled, and also Google Photos to take advantage of Ultra HDR photo and editing features. There's really not much else that changed to warrant upgrading after just one generation.
@@Maxoverpower thanks Max, appreciate your response
@@Maxoverpowerhow can i sideload it
Can you move object to completely different photo?
To be honest.... if google doesnt push these HDR and the pro camera settings to the 7 series then this will be my last google phone for a long time.
Are you getting 5G sim network?
so if i am typical point and shoot person it is better to use JPG over RAW?
Definitely yes, they look better because Google's algorithms enhance the photo but RAW will give you the bare bones
@@IDTR oh I see makes sense thank you!!!
Yesterday a new beta update for google pixel 8 pro do you know what is new ?
Bug fixes
Let’s goo!!!
Waiting to use in pixel 7 apk
what case you have
There only 3 RUclips channel most trust worthy... 1. Mkbhd 2. Gyan Therapy 3. In depth tech reviews
You don't watch RUclips too much I guess
@@RagingBad may be ur feeling little bad your RUclipsr isn't in my list... Pity
Videos in 60fps pls
Best BEST YOU ARE THE BEST GET MY MONEY 💰!!
5G? VOLTE? Wifi calling in ME?
install latest beta, wifi calling i dont know. if you need all features which is availble in US, root stock rom and enable all fatures and opt in for beta. you will have all tye faetures turned on without root.
