      Well happy birthday in advance but i think u should wait for the 9 series than u can make your choice between 8pro or 9 pro or 9 maybe there will be a 3rd model as rumours said and the sizes will be more compact than previous models

    There’s an screen protector sensitivity option in the the phone settings I recently found. It might be helpful to you, I use a tempered glass screen protector as well so I understand how that might be a problem sometimes.

    There is only a little detail (from my point of view, of course) that is missing in your review, a small test from the loudspeakers.

    I just got my pixel 8 pro. I liked my earlier pixels in terms of the finger print sensor being on the underside of the phone.
    I do appreciate the photo features the 8 pro has and that is why I bought it( vacation, family pics etc ). I payed 500 dollars for the stock 128 gig version and am very happy with it at that price point.
    Thanks for the video.

    I like the call screening feature of the Pixel phones. I've had so many spam calls over the years, and I find them super annoying. Recently, I found a call blocker app that only allows calls from within my contacts to come through; all others are blocked. If I don't have to have this app, then even better! I also really like the customization you get with the lock screen and clock styles. I already use Google Messages and a few other Google-related apps, so I'm looking forward to switching from the Galaxy S23 Ultra to the Pixel phones.

    Great video! I can get the pixel 8 pro (128gb) for 475 euros (~$500) and the oneplus 12 (256gb) for 640 euros (~$670). Both devices are new. What do you recommend? I don't use my device for games or social media. I mainly use it for calls, browsing, google maps, e-banking and photos.

    I thought the pixel 6 was pretty good and I have been using my pixel 7 phone for the past year and it has been great! however both phones were not the pro versions and did not offer the telephoto camera lens which I sorely miss. I am about to upgrade to a pixel 8 pro because I want to address that deficiency. I have never been a person who wants bigger screens but I am going to do my best to be happy with the fact that I'm getting a better camera and yes the downside is I'm saddled with a bigger screen but that feels like a first world problem in the end. I have been using graphene OS for the past 2 years and I've loved it so I am looking forward to this upgrade and I'm expecting good things ❤️
