man, i use 6a. i thought all these network issues that people are talking about is kind of because they reside in poor cellular connected areas until i faced it myself. i couldn't connect call whereas a 10k realme phone had no issues receiving/making calls. i did evey troubleshooting i know but it did nothing. i came out of that area and boom, everything was working fine then. Pixel need to work on their modem. and don't get me started about 5g network, i stopped using 5g because it heats up quickly and sometimes it becomes unusable, network is always low on 5g. I really do love pixel software and camera but sometimes they do overprocess. After using pixel, now i know why iphone is so popular, it's clearly a more complete product. I'm a pixel fanboy but maaaaaaan, you can't mess with a phone's brain and substitute that with AI.
This! Need to get the basics down n they don’t, even after 3 tensor iterations. Price increase is unwarranted
I have been using pixel 7 for the past 6months in India and except in 5g network i have not faced any issue regarding call drop, heating is an issue ,but overall the experience is great,at the end of the day the software experience does give you an satisfying experience !!!
same for me
Same here , 5G is very unstable in pixels and it only heats up in 5G , no problem in wifi and 4G
You are few of such persons whose video I can like just when I start watching.....
I really appreciate it 🙏🏻
As a Pixel 6 user, I'm both happy and sad with what they're doing it.
- Limiting the Pro camera just to the 8 Pro makes no sense
- Boasting AI in the chipset and then uploading everything to the cloud for the processing makes no sense (you can get the same shit w Google One if you really need it on any phone)
- Still not solving the modem, throttling/efficiency and the cooling of the device when they are in the 3rd generation is not valid.
My experience w the P6 has been varied.
-While I do not get the best of cellular reception, I've never really had an issue where I've not been able to make a call or receive one, or any other deal breakers of that manner even when I've been travelling, on train, in remote place, etc.
- The phone does heat up a little but has never caused major issues for me and I found the heating to be on par w the OP 7T (my prev phone)
- The battery life on the device, especially when connected to mobile data is something that I am not very satisfied with and it kinda sucks to see that they have still not improved much in that aspect two generations later.
- The camera on the phone has been absolutely fantastic and has been the main redeeming quality which makes me happy w the purchase, though a lack of telephoto does come into picture more often than not as I am someone who prefers the perspective and the reach of telephoto cameras, much more than the regular wide angle camera.
PS. My P6 is a Japanese Variant.
Nice and crisp video, Rohit. Balanced, subtle and to the point.
It's a shame that Google is getting a lot of beating. That Exynos SoC is really putting Google to bad name, but as the saying goes, "Sab ganda hai par dhanda hai" when google's dealing with Samsung.
Hoping things get a little clearer post 2026 when they move to TMSC fabrication. I wished it was in 2025, but they pushed the date to 2026.
I am using the Pixel 6, almost 1yr and 8 months old.
I have never used 5G with this phone so I don't know, I am in UAE (on Etisalat) so maybe it's that but I don't get 5G in it even when i visited India (maybe because I am still using Vodafone or Vi as it's called now a days).
The phone's experience is unmatched on Android but I do wish I had a slightly smaller phone. Pixel 8 looks like the most finished product to me and seems much better than the Pixel 6&7. I won't be upgrading to it yet since I don't need the Upgrade but that form factor really tempts me sometimes.
Nice explanation. Good video. Keep up the good work.
I have been a pixel 4a user for almost 3 years now. And surprisingly its still relevant. It lacks features but the phone works just fine!
Using the 6A, call drops isn't an issue here in Mumbai, but heating and battery drain is constant from day 1. I've started using it on battery saver to get a day's battery on it. Also A14 is not that great of an experience.
Based in Kenya. I had a Pixel 7. Major drawbacks: battery life and network. e.g issues when surfing using data, I had to keep toggling the airplane mode button for it to start working again. Resale value was a challenge, it dropped by half the price after a year. I traded it for the iPhone 14 just because I wasn't sure whether the Pixel 8 had the same issues. I'm tempted to go back to Pixel but only if these issues get fixed, which doesn't seem the case.
Honestly it’s not worth it. After having used the Pixel 2Xl and upgrading to the 7 pro I was disappointed. What many people don’t even talk about is the weird Camera focus delay that occurs when you are switching between lenses. So add 2X of 5X. Even after you waited for a couple of seconds before taking the photo the camera for some reason hasn’t fully switched to the lens and when you press the shutter button and check the photo, It’s this weird water colour painting because it didn’t completely switch to the 5X lens.
Processor: Not good.
Connectivity during Calls: Not good.
Battery : Not good.
So basically you buy it to click pictures. Then its better to get a DSLR at this price.😂
Exactly true!!!
Hey, i have the pixel7 at the moment and i dont get along with the software somehow. Sometimes it seems stuttery, and apps dont close properly. Playing games is pretty hard regarding the heat coming from the back of the phone, and i dont play heavy duty games like PubG or genshin impact. The fotos are just perfect, point, shoot, great oicture thats how it goes! Im planning on buying the iphone 15 during the black friday sales, hopefully ill get a good deal
Using Pixel 7 in India for about a month now. Haven't faced drop calls. But 5g is an issue. It keeps switching to 4g in some areas where there is 5g
😮
Hey thanks for your review. Yeah and here in the States California to be exact they gave such a great trade-in price $450 plus the pixel buds pro and so if you had a seven it was worth trading in to get the eight.
I would say the signal strength seems to be a lot better here than in India from what you're saying but yeah the modem still heats up here at times and the battery life is okay it's not great but it's just okay and I encourage people just to wait for a sale Pixel phones are never worth the price they ask yet launch time and you're right resale is horrible with pixel phones so maybe better just to buy one used.
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏. We didn’t get any deals and no good trade in value. I paid around $800 after all the offers and discounts. No buds or watch offer here.
Eventually they stop production and says India doesn't buys the pixel phones.
@@_arorarohit_ well good on you bro and I'll be waiting for any other reviews or comments about the pixel 8 hopefully some new software features and you will continue reviewing this phone.
I'm using pixel 7 pro from last year October absolutely love it and from UK ,no network issues,no heating issues.
I have been using pixel 6 for the last 1.5 years, I faced call drops several times. If the phone is connected to a wifi then there is no call drop. The finger print is not working properly. Heating is another issue with my phone. but I still love the pixel experience. Waiting for a pixel 9 series hopefully they will fix these issues.
love this dudes review always, even though he admits he's a pixel fanboy he gives the exact points and drawbacks of the phone
Neat & clean video Always loved it ❤❤😍😍
Btw where to get this wallpaper used on your pixel 8 ?
Google wallpaper in the community lens section
Hello bro, yes I am using a pixel 7a, so there are a lot of issues with the network, I am facing call drops, no signals with mostly physical SIM & sometimes with E-sim too that, call won't receive or unable to call
I have been using the 4A for over two years now, and it is still a fantastic device with a superior Android experience.
That phone was fantastic
I have 7 and I'm getting one from US ... I think I might sell the 7 and then overall a good deal for me...
In the recent qpr beta update they have fixed the jio 5g signal. I used to get less than half earlier now it's full signal on jio all the time.
Seriously?
@@Abishek_1988 yes. Full network on jio 5g. What about you. Which phone and do you get full 5g if it's pixel 8 u r using.
I was thinking to switch to 8 from S23 but all these negative feedbacks circulating all over the places makes me feel sceptical...I don't use phones for games or 4k recording but getting heated up for no reason, poor 5g connectivity, call drop are some of the things that turned me down because these are basic issues while using a smartphone@@irfanazeez19

First reaction towards this year's pixel is some heavy investment in marketing department but not sure if the R&D, manufacturing quality, and after sale services are proportionately improved:
4 years of OS support on Samsung vs 7 on Google is nothing more than a number chasing game that's supposed to justify their price increase with little real world value. We'll see how the overall market responds to the price hike.
It was justifiable back when P4 P4XL used TSMC fab processor and modem, on top of the many cool things that Google was also experimenting, e.g. Soli Radar, hand gesture, AND unlimited photo. Whereas now they have more sales but the economy of scale isn't exactly showing from a customer perspective, let alone many Apple copycat moves like software gating without Apple's QA, after sale services, and resistance to inflation. Perhaps Pixel thinks they've already cornered a market and can start recouping some of the investment but in my book, as a market challenger still, Pixel's pricing is certainly not looking good this year, even when giving Google benefit of the doubt on ads and privacy vs other manufacturers (e.g. Asus, Sony, Lenovo Moto etc.)
I've been using a Pixel 6 in India for a year and a half with no call quality problems on 4G, but when I switch to 5G, issues arise. The fingerprint sensor is causing me a lot of trouble, but everything else is working well.
Yes same here but since it was not officially sold it's difficult to exchange to upgrade to pixel 7 or 8...
Hey what you showed at 2:10 is probably a software bug rather than a hardware issue. The problem occurs when one tries to open Google Photos and the phone is locked. The same thing happens on the Pixel 4a when the phone is locked and there is no lag when the phone is fully unlocked and the sequence is repeated.
I know, I said I have been facing it since pixel 6 and it has been fixed. But it's just one part of the issue.
I have used pixel 8 for around two week's before returning. Its a good phone overall and I didn't have network issues in uk. Plus, battery life was way better on wifi, i was getting around 9 hours sot. I returned it because of heating issues and poor battery life on mobile data. Although I found best haptic on pixel even better then iPhone 13 pro, and pixel ui is best of android in my opinion.
I found call quality good when connected but strength to be poorer if that makes sense. I was using it on the ee network.
Call Recording is available in pixel 8 ?
I have pixel 7. It has the same modem as of pixel 8. Switching off 5g improves call drop and overall battery.
So I practically consider my phone as 4 G phone 🤣
@rohit can you suggest between s23 and pixel 8.i am a casual user looking for my first flagship. I need good battery and very good set of cameras. I showed most of the day on calls, some social media and RUclips videos. Even download movies once a week please take my question
Except cameras S23 is better. If you can compromise there go for S23.
like phone is heating a lot, will it no be able to carry out day to day task even, when spending 60k why compromise on cameras as i love still photography@@_arorarohit_
Pixel 8 can heat up especially in summer and on 5g. The network is weak compared to any other phone and you can face call drops. I am okay with that that's why I chose Pixel 8 over S23.
Software features that are location locked all work in usa and are not world wide, i think this phone would be a massive seller if google priced it same as last year but its competing with s23 and the iphone 15 just think compared with these 2 phones what does pixel actually do better
ur sound is too good
Found your video helpful. I've owned pixel 2 xl and 5a which are great phones and had no issues. I'm planning to upgrade to pixel 8 ($549) but s23 fe is being offered at $399 now. My main concern is pixel 8 battery life being reported as a average on mobile data. Any suggestions? Pixel 8 vs s23fe?
I am assuming it will be the same in both phones. I'd pick Pixel 8 over S23 fe
Call assistant feature is good but not available in India
It's only when Google will move to TSMC in 2025 when these pixels would be formidable, and will obliterate everything in their way.
The software is wonderful, and the fact that it can deliver as fast and smooth day to day performance as those iPhone and Samsung's, it will fly on a competitive hardware..
Can't wait for them to ditch exynos. Hands down after tsmc they will become the best thing in the market.
@@lakkadbagga exactly, i have pixel 4a as my secondary device and I use it more than my 7pro.
Are they going to move to TSMC really???
@@abhikchowdhury3441 in 2025, yes. basically pixel 10 series onwards.
Pixel 10 will be masterpiece with Tensor G5 (TSMC) Fab
Pixels were not made considering Indian conditions.
They keep price very high, to let people know they are premium phones.
I think they do know g3 is so weak, they might done all the tests while releasing it, still they released.
There might be some hidden strategy under this thing, not sure what it is though 😅
Buying pixel 7 pro now bad or good decision........?
I was even thinking of selling one pixel 8 pro, but seems it'll be hard to sell even a brand new piece in India
why selling?
@@AarvETk not selling the one I bought for myself, that one I’ll keep using for 1-2 years. Bought it for a lil less in Australia, and was thinking of selling in India for INR 80k for 256 GB, which costs me around 62-63k 🙂.
The one I’m using is even cheaper, less than 40k INR even🙂. But seems it way more expensive in India, more than 100k for 128 GB, not even 256
@@AarvETk just one more update, final price that it cost me is INR 18600🙂
Heavy discounts on pixel 8 series since yesterday. It was already cheap in Aus than India, and now its even less than half price🙂🙂. $1799 phone is actually costing $700 now 🙂🙂.
performance 1st priority for me 😢
Google pixels on tensor/exynos has been super disappointing..i do basic photos so i manage but pixels are now no where close to being flagship, what with poor internet and call quality
Heyy rohit, you always mentioned US pricing im curious to know is your views ever comes even 10% from US ??
Yup, sometimes more than that. And dollar is the reserve currency so it’s easy to do conversion from that all over the world.
To answer your question better I only get 50% views from India and rest from all over the world.
So basically this phone is a Samsung with Google software and Google name only every thing else like processor camera sensors and display is made by Samsung
Which wireless charger are you you using ?
samsung wireless charger
I ended my love hate relationship with the pixel, the battery backup & heating on 5G when on move along side call drops finally pushed me away, thought I would get pixel 8 but seeing the early impressions, reviews & price hike, went ahead with the iPhone, I do miss the photos & software though.
I own pixel 8 in India , 5g -4g switch all the time, over heating, poor battery life , bad nigh sight to name a few bugs.
does it worth at 55k with exchange
55k without exchange but not with.
Exactly my thoughts on this device. You can only get away just enough with these software marvels that pixel provides. Because at some point or the other, you are going to feel that lack in raw performance specially after spending that much money on it. All the features that Google is talking about are based on cloud and I don’t think these are the capabilities of these devices. It’s more like Google is giving you a free life time subscription of their cloud AI editor with pixel 8(pro) purchase. Another thing that Google is really highlighting on this year is the 7 year software support but my question to that is do you really think this hardware is capable enough to even last that long?
its not
The thing witt 7 year update is that it's good. But do most people even use the same phone for 5 years let alone 7 years.
@@incognito5416pixel for 5 years? Even after 1 year it becomes garbage.
@@incognito5416 I agree but then why is everyone so hyped up about this “feature”
@@Tusharastic even the people who are hyped about the 7 years update will not even use for 3 years. I mean, leaks suggest that pixel 10 will stop using tensor made with Exynos foundry so I'm sure people will ditch the pixel 8 happily for the pixel 10.
Pixel phones have great user experience. But honestly they skip on the basics everytime like performance, network quality, battery n heating. I will still wait 2,3 years to buy a pixel flagship over samsung
Pixel devices get better with time
S23 256 for 62k is this worth?
S24 will launch in 2 months so it's better to wait.
not if it gets exynos@@_arorarohit_
Still the price will go down.
Samsung may not bring the S23 price down after 24 launch beacuse S24 is launching with exynos chip. People will still prefer s23 over s24 for this reason.
It doesn't work that way. A new generation is a new generation and you will get a discount on other platforms.
Would always prefer oneplus or Moto or Samsung or iphone over pixel … pixel hardware is really bad … shame on Google ..
pixel 8 is grat phone better than ihone15....
Camera bumb bakwas h
Please don't mind brother but it's looks like you blind lover of pixel, all features garbage in pixel phone bcoz normal using time it's heating so much, i have used pixel 7 😢😢
Unless and until they move back their chip fab to tsmc i will not gonna fall back to pixel..lack of raw power isn't an issue with me but niggles like call drop, poor network reception, heating, abysmal battery life are the issues that gonna come haunt me everyday and I'm not gonna spend a bomb to make those problems a part of my everyday life..pixel was not half so bad when they were partnering with Qualcomm...my 3a xl had excellent battery life, no network issue as such..but things started going downhill with Pixel 6 ...it couldn't latch onto the literally next room WiFi signal...it heated up in my pocket for no reason... camera is the only saving grace but again iPhone 15 has got excellent camera this year..gcam works charm on S23...its only after 2025 that I'm gonna give Pixel a try when/ if it's still sold in India then which I doubt
