If I may ask, do you have a formal background in filmmaking or are you self-taught? Your visuals blow high profile American tech reviewers out of the water. Like, MKHBD's 8k RED camera is nice, but he doesn't use it for a pleasant, coherent visual identity like you do. Very impressive.
Initially found your German channel and even though i didnt understand a word the vibe and visuals captivated me. Then boom I found out that you hage an English channel as well, automatic sub. Here's hoping your english channel becomes as big as your German one. Cheers mate.
Why do they always downgrade the smaller version is what i dont get ...some of us just want an andriod alternative for the iPhone 15pro ..at least leave that matte finish that gives is that more premium feel in the hands... i would still get this over the pro tho
I agree with you about the Pixel 5. It's Google's most beautiful phone (at least on the front). I'm still using it mostly for that reason, I just can't stand to look at bezels lol
I never tire of saying, ORBIT should have at least 1 million subscribers, reviews are extremely well done, enjoyable to watch, and very well explained. Lucky of us, I discovered and always watch 🖤
Had mine for 3 days. Love the size (compared to my P6) and rounded corners. I've slapped a case on it as it's too slippery for my liking. Otherwise loving it so far.
Just ordered the regular Pixel 8 256 Gigs Hazel colour.....switching from my Galaxy Flip 4 since the folding mechanism is starting to malfunction....my first pixel device....fingers crossed...
Thanks for mentioning the slightly thicker chin. Not that I care, as I use a pixel 6 with even larger chin, but Ive seen some youtubers mention that this has symmetrical bezels, which make me question whether they know what symmetrical even means.
Still no PAL settings in video. Also Google have done something to the video download in Google Photos, I can no longer read my video downloads on a mac. This occurs if you have the space saver setting on. As for the video boost feature, I just don't trust Google not to either charge for it in the future or just close it down in the future if its not popular.
From my point of view, It's all a waste of time since google didn't upgrade the fingerprint reader. Face unlock is not a good solution as the phone can unlock randomly when not needed. I keep face-unlock off, and the fingerprint reader is completely unreliable. The pixel fold mechanical unlock works great. I won't be buying another pixel until the fingerprint is updated. I'm also not sure how long smart phones can keep using quality photos as a selling point.... are we all in need of professional photos! Most of our photos spend their duration in the cloud . I think the photos are perfect enough for those of us that want photos that reflect reality rather than AI alterations..... Just fix the fingerprint reader. In my opinion the pixel 2 with the dual facing speakers and mechanical fingerprint reader was near perfection. I almost look forward to my pixel 7 crashing so I can bring out my pixel 2 again.
Did I miss it or did he mention why it’s harder to recommend - I assume it’s because it’s £100 more? Great review otherwise and love the size/weight - just a shame Google have locked a lot of features to the Pro. I am very intrigued about the battery life on the 8 a few months down the line
To any one being skeptical about Google's update policy, they have never ever went back on their promise to their update commitments. It is not about whether someone should use a device for this long, it is about the confidence one can have that atleast some of the features will trickle down to older devices for 7 years. Looking at Android's nature of backporting essential features via Google Play & Mainline to older devices, one can have more peace of mind regarding their device. Applause their courage to promise such a commitment!
The pixel 8 is around £200-300 cheaper. The 15+ has a larger display, probably a better battery life. I think it all boils down to which ecosystem you prefer or are tied into . I have a pixel and iPhone, and have a lot of the Google services on my iPhone IE Google One, Google photos , Gmail , Google search, Google Drive and Docs etc
In reality, the Pixel 8 has no interest, its SOC is throttled, and it ultimately does not take advantage of 60-70% of the new Ai features of the Pixel 8 Pro, in addition to no longer having the price advantage over smartphones like the S23, iPhone 15, OnePlus 11 and others 🤷🏽♂️
Тестил 8 пиксель, говно.. хотел поменять свой айфон 13про , но в итоге, Плюсы - 1.Камера , фото и видео лучше чем у 13про!!! Особенно видео, автофокус! Детализация и динамический диапазон! Фото также четче и автофокус лучше попадает! 2. Размер корпуса! Удобный очень! 3. Шустрый, меню и тд, 4. Разблокировка по лицу, намного лучше 7 серии! Но, как мало света, все.. отпечаток.. Отлично работают все банк приложения с этим анлоком по лицу!! И оплаты! Минусы: 1. Связь.. та же беда как и у пиксель 7!! Отваливается там где 13про стабильно держит .. при том что может быть почти полный значек сети или половина.. он отвалился моментом и снова в сети, но звонок то прерван…..Возможно вскоре подправят прошивками как на 7, 2. Скользкий и сзади, маркий. 3. Динамики.. отстой .. звук хуже 7 .. айфон 13про плотный четкий звук, тут слишком выперает высокие.. черезчур.. в речи где «с» будет резать слух.. на макс громкости не комфортно, нужно тише делать из за того»» «тсиканья» 4. Экран… сраные все блогеры .. экран говно!!! По яркости ниже 13про.. ау о каком мега крутом экране вы все ссыте в уши людям?!! На макс яркости он дает картинку как 13про на 80%… ну и естественно при стандартном использовании яркости на 60-70% он дает хуже картинку.. контраст, яркость и тд, чем тот же айфон, который вплоть до 40% дает прекрасную картинку и не режет глаза.. и да при понижении яркости до 30% и ниже устают глаза , так как шим( раньшп этим не замарачивался, были пиксели разные, сейчас даже 4 остался и он лучше , не напрягаетглаза. Да и 7 пиксель был приятней на низком освещении) 5. Отпечаток пальца.. с.. ка говно.. как и на 7.. сначала настраиваешь все четко работает супер пупер, и после пары минут.. он начинает толи забывать то ои.. с .. ка тупит и не принимает пальцы либо из 4х настроеных один работает более менее а другие.. и сильнее жмешь и так и сяк.. короче говно Вообщем, я растроен и остался на афйоне до следуйщей заменя на 15про или может 9 пиксель устранят недочеты.. особенно с обрывом связи.. при том что сеть полная или на половину..
The temperature measuring device now provided by Pixel 8 Pro in my opinion is a rediculous new phone iteration! Is it there simply to up the price! Is there any dialogue whatsoever between Google and Google Customers other than money exchange!!! I am a Google customer. I enjoy use of my Pixel 6 Pro but now I think I need to watch more carefully my money than Google products.....
not sure about the rest of the world but here in Canada (also USA) in a few months the pixels go on a killer discounts and tag that financing options the pixels are a sweet deal. Yes the prices are higher, but the product seems better than the 7 and plus if you consider inflation it is more or less fair.
Thanks very much for your coverage of the base Pixel 8. I/we appreciate this focus on smaller & more _pocketable_ phones.
❤ 1:44
Finally a quality review of the Pixel 8. Thank you for not talking about the P8P for half of the video!
If I may ask, do you have a formal background in filmmaking or are you self-taught? Your visuals blow high profile American tech reviewers out of the water. Like, MKHBD's 8k RED camera is nice, but he doesn't use it for a pleasant, coherent visual identity like you do. Very impressive.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised, this guy is really good. I hope he's more successful.
This is his english channel.
His primary channel is german and is much bigger.
iknowreview
I actually subbed to the channels because of how good quality the vids are his B-roll footage makes gadgets look so good
The only other youtuber I saw this level of quality is from Sam Beckman
m.ua-cam.com/channels/_1awbvccFZOnVRjAIkCG7Q.html
He is a former film student - so yeah, he knows his stuff 👌🏻
First time watching one of your videos and it won’t be the last. For what it’s worth this is one of the best Pixel videos that I have seen 👍.
Initially found your German channel and even though i didnt understand a word the vibe and visuals captivated me. Then boom I found out that you hage an English channel as well, automatic sub. Here's hoping your english channel becomes as big as your German one. Cheers mate.
Visually appealing video, a to the point story, and most important: under 8 minutes!
I've been waiting for the quality review from this channel, it's worth waiting. ❤
Can’t think of a better content creator on UA-cam than you. Great work. Keep it up.
Your videos are aesthetically pleasing to the point that i can not even come close to comprehend, simply put..best in effing class wow❤
Was watching this as I got a knock on the door from a cheery postwoman handing me my new pixel 8. Great review and I cannot wait to unbox mine.
Nice review and also the pictures of our huge/nice city are amazing.
Why do they always downgrade the smaller version is what i dont get ...some of us just want an andriod alternative for the iPhone 15pro ..at least leave that matte finish that gives is that more premium feel in the hands... i would still get this over the pro tho
Other than the matte finish, it pretty much is a fully fledged 15 pro competitor no? While being $200 cheaper
Really nice *concise*, interest-holding, easy to watch, easy to understand review.
I agree with you about the Pixel 5. It's Google's most beautiful phone (at least on the front). I'm still using it mostly for that reason, I just can't stand to look at bezels lol
Wish they did it in that Matt blue like the pro.
I never tire of saying, ORBIT should have at least 1 million subscribers, reviews are extremely well done, enjoyable to watch, and very well explained. Lucky of us, I discovered and always watch 🖤
His main channel is german and has 500.000 subs which is a lot for a german channel
Had mine for 3 days. Love the size (compared to my P6) and rounded corners. I've slapped a case on it as it's too slippery for my liking. Otherwise loving it so far.
What about battery ?
@@chav3sko And overheating?
Just ordered the regular Pixel 8 256 Gigs Hazel colour.....switching from my Galaxy Flip 4 since the folding mechanism is starting to malfunction....my first pixel device....fingers crossed...
Thanks for mentioning the slightly thicker chin. Not that I care, as I use a pixel 6 with even larger chin, but Ive seen some youtubers mention that this has symmetrical bezels, which make me question whether they know what symmetrical even means.
The Pixel 6 still takes great pictures ❤
Hell yes i have the p6 p7 and p8 all take great pictures
very professional review, thank you!

I still have my pixel 2, just in case should my 7 fail
I have the p6 p7 and p8 never had issues with fingerprint on any of them. When i set up my fingerprint i do it 360 style works like a charm
I agree pixel 5 was the best for me perfect size great battery!!! 😊
Drive should have minimum 50 GB for lifetime with every pixel
I like a lot the review. I missed that you compare the selfie cam. On Pixel 8 doesn’t have autofocus. I want to know how noticeable is the difference.
Did I miss it or did he mention why it’s harder to recommend - I assume it’s because it’s £100 more?
Great review otherwise and love the size/weight - just a shame Google have locked a lot of features to the Pro. I am very intrigued about the battery life on the 8 a few months down the line
Yes 6:40
Your thumbnail made me click this video. Good job!
Why not just say 100 years of updates? No one's going to keep this phone for more than 2 years!
BTW - what's the wallpaper you are using? The one around 1.44. Thanks in advance 😉
fantastic review 👏🏼
All of us on Pierce stating the truth this channel should have a million or more subs absolutely correct leave a like so that more can see it.
The only problem is my screen flickering during usage also gets really hot.

I like the way Germans talk
Love the style of your work!
Well done, great review
Great video!!!
What are the AI features? You have missed out on them altogether!
Amazing video!
Aha, iKnowReview in englischer Form, sehr interessant!
What microphone are you using? It is a nice
the first wallpaper link please 1:12
Did you test the video out through the usb c ? lol
Great review... Thanks
Great review. Got my pixel 8 today
any negatives so far? I'm on a pixel 7 and tempted to upgrade :D
Hey please give your feedback for pixel 8 😊
I've got the 6a, wondered if it would be worth the upgrade
Man merkt das du ein Deutscher bist ;)
Aber besser als gar keine Übersetzung!
Was ist jetzt das Problem daran dasS (!) man das merkt??
@@ahsookee Chill mal. Niemand hat ein Problem damit

Sir please help me in choosing between Google pixel 8 and iphone 15 plus?
Which is the best buy?
Even I have the same question
@@Shrestha2319Same, hahaha. My guess is iPhone 15+.
Bought 8, it's good but, has a little bit of heating issue...and if you like a big sized phone you won't like 8
The pixel 8 is around £200-300 cheaper. The 15+ has a larger display, probably a better battery life. I think it all boils down to which ecosystem you prefer or are tied into . I have a pixel and iPhone, and have a lot of the Google services on my iPhone IE Google One, Google photos , Gmail , Google search, Google Drive and Docs etc

A E S T H E T I C
The 12MP UW does not have an autofocus on the standard Pixel 8.
On Pixel 8, the ultrawide camera is updated to include autofocus, which brings Macro Focus outside our Pro series for the first time.
All animals are cute 🥰
What about blobfish?
Touché
Тестил 8 пиксель, говно.. хотел поменять свой айфон 13про , но в итоге, Плюсы - 1.Камера , фото и видео лучше чем у 13про!!! Особенно видео, автофокус! Детализация и динамический диапазон! Фото также четче и автофокус лучше попадает! 2. Размер корпуса! Удобный очень!
3. Шустрый, меню и тд,
4. Разблокировка по лицу, намного лучше 7 серии! Но, как мало света, все.. отпечаток.. Отлично работают все банк приложения с этим анлоком по лицу!! И оплаты!
Минусы: 1. Связь.. та же беда как и у пиксель 7!! Отваливается там где 13про стабильно держит .. при том что может быть почти полный значек сети или половина.. он отвалился моментом и снова в сети, но звонок то прерван…..Возможно вскоре подправят прошивками как на 7,
2. Скользкий и сзади, маркий.
3. Динамики.. отстой .. звук хуже 7 .. айфон 13про плотный четкий звук, тут слишком выперает высокие.. черезчур.. в речи где «с» будет резать слух.. на макс громкости не комфортно, нужно тише делать из за того»» «тсиканья»
4. Экран… сраные все блогеры .. экран говно!!! По яркости ниже 13про.. ау о каком мега крутом экране вы все ссыте в уши людям?!! На макс яркости он дает картинку как 13про на 80%… ну и естественно при стандартном использовании яркости на 60-70% он дает хуже картинку.. контраст, яркость и тд, чем тот же айфон, который вплоть до 40% дает прекрасную картинку и не режет глаза.. и да при понижении яркости до 30% и ниже устают глаза , так как шим( раньшп этим не замарачивался, были пиксели разные, сейчас даже 4 остался и он лучше , не напрягаетглаза. Да и 7 пиксель был приятней на низком освещении)
5. Отпечаток пальца.. с.. ка говно.. как и на 7.. сначала настраиваешь все четко работает супер пупер, и после пары минут.. он начинает толи забывать то ои.. с .. ка тупит и не принимает пальцы либо из 4х настроеных один работает более менее а другие.. и сильнее жмешь и так и сяк.. короче говно
Вообщем, я растроен и остался на афйоне до следуйщей заменя на 15про или может 9 пиксель устранят недочеты.. особенно с обрывом связи.. при том что сеть полная или на половину..
I had no problems with the pixel 7. I do not think the camera bar is 'minimalistic' it's a blunt slab of ugly
Pixel 9 upgrade from pixel 7? Is it worth it as I have pixel 7 and I am thinking of upgrading.
I won't be holding my breath for these phones getting 7 years of software support. Not with Google's track record.
The temperature measuring device now provided by Pixel 8 Pro in my opinion is a rediculous new phone iteration! Is it there simply to up the price! Is there any dialogue whatsoever between Google and Google Customers other than money exchange!!! I am a Google customer. I enjoy use of my Pixel 6 Pro but now I think I need to watch more carefully my money than Google products.....
👨🏿💻🍿
great video🔥💯
very femanine
I really like the Pixel 8, but the Pixel Watch is fugly.
F A N T A S T I C R E V I E W . Thank you, sir.
How did you get rid of the clock at the top mate?
Damm!! your visuals are beautiful one of the best reviews I have ever seen in a long time!
What is better? The pixel 8 or the pixel 7 pro ? Considering I'm coming from One Plus 8
The 8a is not better just cheaper.i used it in North Carolina Blue. I prefer the pixel 8 in black. 💋
not sure about the rest of the world but here in Canada (also USA) in a few months the pixels go on a killer discounts and tag that financing options the pixels are a sweet deal. Yes the prices are higher, but the product seems better than the 7 and plus if you consider inflation it is more or less fair.
Top tier videography!
