P.S. Sorry for the focus shift. I was having issues with the new camera today. I've been adjusting the settings to get it optimized and didn't realize I missed two places where it blurs out that I didn't edit out.
I bought a pixel 8 pro for this new year, everything was fantastic only concerning thing is it warms up as soon as we start using whatsapp or youtube or anything. May be i think it is not suitable for people located in hot climate countries especially in summer. I have returned it and bought s24 ultra and honestly this phone was used for 2 weeks and currently summer temparature were gone up and still it didn't warm up atleast once on general use.
I think google should work on their chip to solve this warming issue.
I am a fan pixel but will buy once they bring any device that solves this temparature issue.
I had the S24U for a couple days and returned it for a P8P. This Pixel is incredible and I couldn't be happier!!
I bought the S24+ and only used it for a couple of days and decided to return it and keep using my P8P ❤
@@vinicioh23 pixel is just better at software than Samsung
8 pro been good thus far..
Thank you for this comment. I actually did the same and I was wondering if I made the right choice but I feel like I have and the P8P has been excellent and your comment has really affirmed that for me. I appreciate it!
I don't know why people like you buys a phone if you already has an incredible new phone, if I buy a phone and its good I will keep it and not looking for a replacement until it breakdowns. Don't get me wrong my job is programming and probably has more knowledge in bleeding edge tech, but it nonsense to upgrade in a minimal improvement device maybe 2-3 years for the wear/tear and significant improvement of device.
Loving my pixel so far so good
Glad to hear it
Love your channel, great reviews, just curious why your camera is having such issue focusing, kinda giving me motion sickness LOL
Awesome review! As much as i love the pixel 8 pro im really leaning towards trading it in for the OnePlus 12. Battery has been poor and screen freezes often. Thats just my experience and negative opinion on the phone other than that it is a great phone. Thanks for your content. Have a good day.
The S 24 is gimmicky AI, the Pixel is useful tool AI.
S24 still has a better ecosystem and better customization and features. The pixel just has AI and, an arguably, better back camera. S24 pretty much exceeds in all other areas tbh.
Didn't Google and Samsung collaborate on the Ai on the s24 ultra?🤔
@@tytownsend8219 Yes
They literally basically do the same thing with Ai
All day the pixel 8 pro. Got it for $200 with note 20 ultra trade in and not interested in the S24, and no case, no screen protector, get some
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it
I love my Pixel 8 Pro. For $799 you wont find a better phone, AND it's Google, stock Android.
You are always spot, Adam. Great content.
1+12R is way better than Pixel 8 Pro.
Let's go!!! Great video
Wow I just got my S24 ultra today!! Crazy improvement from my NOTE 8!!
For sure
I got rid of my iPhone 15 Pro Max a few days ago i got sick of it overheatin and i replaced it with the Pixel 8 Pro and ive got 2 say 4 the first time in years iPhone isnt my first choice phone im really lookin forward 2 see what the future Pixels can do
Pixel 8 pro even does warm up for general use. That is the only major con, and for rest all it is a fantastic device daily device.
@@muralimohan542 my 8 Pro hasn't felt warm and I'm a heavy user. My iPhone 15 Pro Max use 2 get really uncomfortable 2 hold and the battery would drain from 100% down to 37% in about 1 hour 30 mins. I've used the 8 Pro for about 5 hours watchin 2 movies and didn't have any problems with it gettin warm and I use my phone caseless while at home and only use a case when I go out.
@@muralimohan542 I've not had any issues with the 8 Pro gettin warm and I use my phone a lot my screen on time is about 8 -9 hours a day when I'm not at work and the phone is fine
The S24 ultra's snapdragon 8 gen 3 and battery life SMOKE the pixel 8 pro's.
Im wanting one tbh even over the s24 ultrs.
It's really good and clean. Plus the camera always wins in most situations.
The Pixel 8 Pro has been the perfect device for since I got it 2 months ago. The battery life lasts all day and into the next, it doesn't heat up when gaming which is mostly Bloons TD 5 & 6, the cameras are great but the video falls short of Apple and I am really happy with it. However, one of the most talked about features in Pixel phones does not work too well for me, the voice recorder/ transcriptions. Its probably an accent thing, but it is frequently wrong, but not a deal breaker.
What are you using to record? It’s a little dark
I'm waiting for the Pixel 10 Pro, I sold my Pixel 7 Pro because it has been looked over with certain features for the P8P. The Tensor 5 in the P10P will be its biggest leap.
Yeah this is when I plan to upgrade from my Pixel 7 as well. I'm so excited about the Pixel 10 series next year! This time I'm going with the Pro model.
My S24U 1TB in Titanium Orange just arrived and I'm going to set it up tonight. I'm upgrading from a Green S22U 512 that I have been using since June 2022, which I'm trading back to Samsung. Thanks to you, I used your discount and also your encouragement to get the S24. I think it will be a great phone, even though I have to say that Samsung does not seem all that good of a listener to people's feedback and they focus more on copying Apple. I still miss the LG and Blackberry for their groundbreaking features (at the time) that I don't see anyone doing anymore.
That's where flip and z series are being released. You gmcan buy them if you want something unique and ground breaking. Thing is mate, people want to see these kind of gimmick phobe but they don't want to buy as daily device, they prefer simple and more reliable devices. The companies have stopped pretty much as its waste of their R&D funds and resources. We have popup and flip cameras but people stopped buying them as the motors might fail one fmday. We had indisplay selifie cam, people criticised pictures are not as good as normal selfie camera. So there is no point of bring devices with unique and cool stuff as in reality most percentage of people they love to see them but not to buy them.
Yeah, I agree with you. I miss they would try new things.
Watching it on my P8P , I just like the way it feels in hand and the haptics makes you fall in love
Nice video. I have the S23 Ultra and the Pixel 7 Pro and I'm keeping both instead of upgrading. I'm one of the very few who like the curved screen.
Just recently ordered one. It's supposed to be here tomorrow. I hope it's really good because I'm rocking the Google Pixel 6 right now
Ciao, ho acquistato a novembre tramite il mio gestore telefonico un Pixel 8 Pro 256gb con Pixel Buds Pro in omaggio che al tempo in Italia su Amazon erano oltre 200€, ho pagato tutto circa 970€. Non ho modo di fare confronti con cellulari Apple o Samsung ma guardo diverse recensioni professionali e amatoriali e la mia idea nell’utilizzo quotidiano è che il Pixel è un ottimo telefono e che tra i competitori ha il maggior margine di miglioramenti. Sono perplesso per il sensore di temperatura, che senso ha? Che possa essere una funzione nascosta di Google e viene utilizzato durante foto e video, una sorta di rilevamento ambientale per il settaggio di parametri di messa a fuoco o altro, qualcosa in fase sperimentale? Se il rilevamento di temperatura non è certificato lo trovo una risorsa ingombrante.
Pixel is the only phone that get way better with time. The updates are major on pixel compare to galaxy and iphones.
Because it's a work In progress. Beta phone
I love the idea of 'the iPhone of Android'. It should be the pixel... Unfortunately the pixel is the buggiest experience on Android I've ever had and I daily drive a Zfold 3.
Also pixel is only phone that can do voice to text while you are already on a call
I appreciate your reviews I really do I wound up getting the pixel pro it is $205 off right now so I wound up getting the 512 version for 962 I think it was or 900 or something
Battery life is absolutely abysmal on the 8 pro. I really wanted to the like the phone, but bad battery life this day and age is a non starter for me. I gave it a solid week, but it just wasn't meant to be.
U don't no how to use a fone your clueless got everything turned on lol no one else has had problems it's u not the fone
It’s a good thing that Google is doing 7 years of updates! I get a new phone every year but the average user keeps phones for 3 years or more. My brother still has the iPhone XR and is still very happy with it.
Me again!,I've been a note user since the Note 2.I want to try something new without getting a iPhone. I think this would be a good choice.
Im still rocking the pixel 7
Im struggling to choose between the s24 plus, ultra or just going woth the pixel 8 pro.
Just me thinking the video quality and sound quality is worse than before? Not trying to be mean or anything. I love your channel and what you do. :-)
The video quality on release looked VERY promising. Now, the low light video noise control is definitely worse for whatever reason.
I just picked up the 8 pro for $799. Replacement for my regular Pixel 6. I just prefer Android on Pixel. Went pro this time because they got rid of the curved display.
Would you do a comp between the s24+ and pixel 8 pro....
I got the pixel 8 pro 256 GB for the price of a S24 non plus, non ultra. So I would compare S24 with the pixel 8 pro.
I was waiting for your review, your camera was blurring many times.
Yeah, the pixel phones are really fun to have. Yeah started with the 3a and I’m on my fifth pixel phone, the Pixel 8. I really enjoyed the feature set that comes with it but somehow Samsung phones seem more reliable and the software seems more cohesive or better thought out like it’s for grown-ups or something. I’m hoping with the pixel nine they get a smaller version of the pro.
I switched from s23. No problems with it battery is great got of eBay for £575 used
Rather have a matte finish on the camera bar? Mind as well DIY; 2000 grit sandpaper! 😁
Here is Australia the difference between the 512gb versions is $261. But with the Samsung you always get something with, whereas with the pixel it hardly ever goes on sale over here.
How much I'd it for the 1tb model
Great content. I hope you can do a video for your new S24 showing which AI features can be used without needing to send data to Samsung. Could be the start of an interesting new series. Keep up the good work.
You can just go into the AI setting and set it up to not have any data sent to samsung. The only glaring feature that didn't work for me was the page summary on the internet. Everything else worked fine without connecting to the cloud to use features.
And even circle to search
@@muralimohan542 circle to search actually works without the cloud
@@muralimohan542 circle to search works perfect without the online server
Is the AI software exclusive to the Pixel even though both phones run Android?
I’ve been thinking about getting this phone. Spectrum has it for $399 straight up….no monthly credits. At $399, it maybe worth trading out my 13 pro max.
I love my pixel 8 pro, there's nothing flashy about it really but it is still such a great phone. I think that the ultra is amazing but I'm honestly equally as impressed by the OnePlus 12 as I am the S24 Ultra and have found myself using it most of the time
If the rumored pixel 9 pro does have a 6.5 in QHD Dispkay, that's the phone I will wait for. I hope it is true because I'm resisting buying a phone at the moment.
Pixel 9 will look like Samsung s24 or an iPhone. And possibly be assemblied in India at least partially?
Nice video
Fair warning about the P8P: After having the phone only for a few weeks, the top speaker started having issues. Never dropped my phone, never got it wet. Fully protected with a case, screen and visor protectors. Sent the phone to Google for repair, only to receive it back with the same issue. Google's customer support is fully AI-automated, I believe.
Giving it one more shot before I consider switching to Samsung. Hard choice since I enjoy using the P8P.
I just checked and Gemini mobile app is not available here in Canada.😕
I think it’s USA only currently
I seen many videos where the Pixel 8 cameras are on parr with the 24 ultra and 15 pro.
Loving my P8 but with Samsung deals and trade ins the S24 line can come in cheaper. With Google
Increasing the Pixel prices its harder to justify paying flagship prices for an Exynos chip, a bad modem and an optical FP sensor. Love the clean Android experience though. It's a tough call.
Love pixels. Had the 7 pro and 6 pro. Even with their issues I loved using them. I upgraded recently and got the 15 pro max. Going tomorrow to trade it in for a pixel 8 pro. Didn’t realize how much I liked the pixel. Until I got apple. Samsung does sneaky things so I won’t ever get a Samsung again. My main thing with Samsung is that overtime the camera quality just gets worse and worse like they are updating them to do that so you think it’s time for a new flagship or something.
Got my 8 Pro 256 with the regular $200.00 discount plus a $125.00 extra discount for UA-cam premium membership. Paid in total $785.00 taxes included. And btw is a great phone. The only thing I would improve is the battery life.
How do you get the $125 YT premium discount?
@mrgibbles09 an email from the Google store
Only if S24 was not that boxy or Pixel 8 Pro had a snapdragon... That would be the perfect phone!
I love OneUI... I can't get used to Pixels Android
I feel the same way about One Ui......can't get use to it.
#TeamPixel
That's my big deal I'm hoping that they keep improving like they are That's important to me I went with the s23 ultra I decided to go ahead and get the 8 pro now because they finally dropped the price I was able to get the more memory I'm excited and big deal to me is that they stay on top of these updates excited about playing with the AI Love your reviews keep it up good job
my mobile carrier dropped it down to 399 so I might go pick it up
Just ordered a brand new P8Pro for £620 on Ebay, dirt cheap for how much phone you get! Been Using Samsung for a long time now and im a bit bored, I did try the P8Pro when it first came out and I stuck with Samsung with some slight regret, ive now decided to pull the trigger again and I dont think ill regret it this time! Im also starting to quite dislike Samsungs image processing
does the 8 pro have a little whole in the camara? Almost looks like a scratch.
It's a microphone hole
I bought the Pixel 8 Pro. I returned it. The fingerprint sensor was so slow. Battery life not good. Camera was very good. The main reason I returned it was it's modem. signal strength jumped from 3 to 0 a lot. I just felt it was sub par for the price. I ended up buying the Oneplus 12 and I hope it is a long lasting good quality phone? Just because I have never owned one before. But I am glad I switched. It is amazing in so many ways compared to the Pixel. Sorry Pixel. I was really excited to get a Pixel. But also so disappointed.
I purchased the 8 pro and it’ll be here Wednesday , finally glad to get off of iPhone. Had it long enough. And when iOS gets RCS it’ll blur the lines
I can't wait for rcs
Its so annoying seeing the pixel 8 pro is at 200$ discount in US all the time while i'm in Europe waiting on a good deal but they still sell it at €1099 like cmon how are they expecting to sell any ?
They don't have as much consideration for the UK and EU markets. A lot of the AI features go missing when you move outside the US.
The Pixel 8 Pro has a better camera and AI features (performing better as well). The only thing is I wish the Pixel's battery life was a little longer. I'm getting 6/8hrs SoT which is pretty decent though.
I got the 1 TB S24 Ultra for $791 after trade in of my Note 20 Ultra and a few other discounts. I think the new phone is amazing. The 7 years of updates just sounds like a gimmick to me. After 4 years, the phone would be left behind in terms of features and speed. I wouldn't keep a phone more than 4 years. I really wonder how many people actually keep their phone for 7 years. It sounds good to hear, but I suspect there would be very few people who would actually benefit from it.
Would anyone here upgrade to the P8P from the P7P?
Great content. Of course, the pixel 8pro is better with AI than samsung. Google has been using AI for a while. I do believe this is Samsungs first try at AI. And a lot of it is from Google. I'll still stick with my s23 ultra. Did you get the February software update for s23 ultra🤔 I just got mine this morning. As for the back of the 8pro, they should or a 3rd party should sell a plastic or glass cover, like they do for the samsung cameras. And I heard that samsung is gonna send out an update for the cameras on the s24 ultra.
Pixel 8 pro is the best!
#TeamPixel
I don't have the pixel 8 pro or s24 ultra but I do have an s23 and a regular pixel 8 and tbh I like the pixel exclusive features but my s23 just feels more premium. When using the screen on the pixel 8 it makes a hollow noise while using the s23 screen seems more sturdy. Once you notice the hollow noise of the pixels you can't unhear it. Also my s23 is lightning fast and does everything well its supposed to while my pixel 8 needs restarted alot because of hiccups. Earlier part of the screen wouldn't register touches. Also it has gotten stuck on 100% and wouldn't go down and the past two days it won't show my screen on time at all. It says data not available. My s23 never has issues like that. In fact I can't recall my s23 having ANY issues and I've had it for a year while only having my pixel less than two months. I wish google would make their exclusive pixel only features available as a monthly or yearly subscription available on any phone with capable hardware because I would pay to have the features on my samsung
Yeah, I hadn’t noticed that on the pixel 8 till somebody pointed it out and now it bugs me I wish I had never known about. Yeah, the screen feels hollow. It’s kind of a weird thing. The hardware on Samsung phones definitely is better than pixels . I really like the pixel phones but it always feels like they’re never finished with the software and maybe that’s true. Samsung feels like a finish product.

I freaking adore my pixel 6
@@katinasoutherland7693 no issues, solid phone.. no reason to change
7 pro here
The p6 is still a great phone i have the p6 p7 and p8 👍🏾
Still using the Pixel 6A
The comp for pixel 8 pro....is s24+ not the ultra...
Except it isn't.
He's right the s24 plus would be not the ultra
Honestly, I agree it's more comparable to the plus than the ultra, especially since there isn't much difference between the plus and ultra to begin with. Also the plus and pro are both have the same starting MSRP. It's gonna be an agree to disagree situation for me.
I'm currently deciding between the S24 Ultra and the Pixel 8 Pro. Here in the UK the Pixel 8 Pro is currently on sale for £849. My biggest concern is battery life, I've read online that the battery life isn't good (I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max).
Also some AI features are not available outside the US. Big concern of mine. Full price for a limited features phone.
@@Ignozi I didn’t realise that, what features are not available in the UK? Samsungs S24 Ultra seems to have all the same features so that’s weird.
@DavidJames-ro2bl So, on top of my head you've got the enhanced AI screen calling, the body temperature sensor and the summarize feature.
There are a few more minor ones and a UK reddit user had a more comprehensive list.
The point is some of the advertised features are region locked and it gets even worse if you're in other EU countries or even outside the EU.
Heck, even Canada doesn't have all the features and they're right next to Google's home country.
For me finding this out was a bit of a disappointment since we're not exactly getting big trade-in deals or special offers in the UK.
@@Ignozi yea that definitely sucks, even the S24 Ultra has the summarise feature here in the UK. Might just go with the S24 Ultra.
Pixel 8 Pro won't get close to the iPhone 14 Pro Max for battery life. S24 ultra will. What's wrong with the iPhone?
If I had liked the Pixel watch, I would have gotten the Pixel 8 Pro. The deals Samsung had were too good to pass up. It didn't make sense to just buy the watch and skip on the S24U 512GB upgrade.
I love pixel 8 pro ❤
Pixel 8 Pro King of Android right now !!!
Pixel all the way. I can't justify spending more money for a phone when you get the same experience and sometimes better on the pixel.
Very happy with my pixel 8 pro,pixel fold and 23 ultra
Do you think it's worth it to buy the P8P for $399
Absolutely
I got the Pixel 8 pro 256GB for roughly the price of the base S24. Not the S24+ or S24ultra, the base S24. And at that price, the Pixel 8 pro is absolutely worth it, IMHO. Also, if the camera is important for you ... save the money and invest the money you saved in a "real" camera.
Cameras are pretty expensive and require multiple lenses that cost a lot of money as well to do the photography one of these phones can do
@@TechOdyssey Well, depends. Pocket and bridge cameras don't have multiple lenses and depending on the model don't cost too much. And if you look for models with (at least) an one inch sensor, you will get better low light performance and often more optical zoom compared to smartphones. And even if you look at DSRLs and DSLMs, you can sometimes make a bargain. I was so disappointed with the vacation photos my old smartphone made, that I now seriously looking for an actual camera.
Don't get me wrong, I don't "hate" smartphone cameras. They have become better over time and deliver good results for the little space they have. But in the end, a smartphone is simply not large enough for good optics.
Also, keep in mind, a camera isn't outdated after 4, or 5 or 7 years ... unlike a smartphone that doesn't get any updates anymore.
They 999 + google watch 2 in the 1st batch
Is the 8 Pro still worth it?
I hope so. I just bought the 7 Pro lol
Yeah, that’s really a good phone and you probably got a really great deal on it which makes it even a better phone
@@jejunamja $280 in good condition. This is actually the first time I've bought a phone used. I've always just gone through my carrier, but I think I might only buy used, year old phones from here on out.
Pixel 8 Pro any day over the S24 Ultra!
I had the worst experience of my life with pixel 8 pro. I exchanged the phone 3 times and it boils down to that trash tensor chip. Until they get rid of it, it will always remain behind the competition. This is the first time Samsung feels light and fast and Google feels bogged down. The 7 years of update is a joke when the phone was outdated 7 months before it even released.
As I've seen others say, I had the pixal 8 Pro and the s24 ultra and I actually decided to return the s24 ultra because it's so annoying and has tons of problems. As someone who runs two different businesses almost entirely through my phone's, I cannot stand all of the keyboard and language input / output issues that the Samsung phone has. It doesn't seem to matter what I do or what settings I change, it doesn't matter how many Google things I use to replace Samsung services, it's still terrible. I cannot stand it. There's tons of different issues with my s24 ultra. I can't believe it honestly. on top of all the issues that people have had with the s24 ultra, Samsung has really done their customers dirty in a few different ways this time. Shameful! Now I just wish that Google would make a bigger and better watch
I like pixel but S21ultra about to do major update no need to jump ship
Here the pixel will cost me 1159€ (for256GB), but the s24 ultra i can get for 1149 via my internet supplier (they do not offer google).
But i am not coninced with the Ai stuff for photo editing from samsung, let alone the fee ùthey will impement in 2025.
Also prefer the ergonomics of the pixel…
Is it possible to de-Google a Google phone?
If you put it in the garbage disposal
I have no interest in the S24 ultra I'm still rocking thw pixel 7 pro, however, I'm still eyeing this phone pixel 8 pro. I've seen renderers of the pixel 9 pro and to me they should have stayed with the pixel 8 pro's design. The pixel 9 pro looks like an iPhone with a Google Pixel fold camera bump (which I'm not feeling i don't want an iphone if thats the case I would just get one) Tensor Gen2, and 3 chips are not as weak as the media makes them out to be they're very capable chips
Yeah, I would wait for the Pixel 9 , unless you can find a super trading deal
no, s24 ultra is a complete phone
Lol, cheaper. I think the phrase should be, "Note as expensive".
Im sure its just me and Im being ultra picky Im sure, but I wished the Pixel 8 Pro felt more premium in my hands. I got it when it launched and Im 6 days away from being able to switch to my S24 Ultra and I cant wait to be completely honest.
The pixel feels so much better than Apple or Samsung.
@@CinderRae I wish I agreed but it feels flimsy in my hands.
Yeah Google is def better AI than Samsung.
S24 Ultra will age significantly better than the Pixel 8 Pro because of the Tensor chip.
Pixel 8 pro was never worth it
Had the pixel 8 pro sold it on eBay to pay for my s24. The pixel kept dropping signal and I hated that I need my phone to do the phone part of its job. Loving the S24 ultra I will try pixel again when google moves to snapdragon
Since I got my pixel 8 pro I haven't looked at any other phone and I don't have fomo!!!
I still find the pixel 7 pro is better than the latest flagship competition
No... As soon as you bought pixel, it lost at least 40% of its value...Older models don't get new features, and here I'm talking about models that are 6 months to a year old.
If you’re buying phones for resale value then you shouldn’t be buying phones
@@TechOdyssey I don't mean that. I don't think the value is justified considering that the old Samsung will get all the new features as well as the new one. While the pixels won't get any of that. I think it's definitely a bad price-win ratio. 8 pro will be outdated when new models are launched in June as fold 2 and 8a.
The Pixel phones have been beta phones since their release. Like Early access games. They are NOT suitable for the average consumer. Google does not have faith in their product and that is why they are not available everywhere.
I disagree with you. Pixel cannot make it for 3 years. Pixel 8 didn't have initial issues at launch because the sales were abysmal, and many users have abandoned it due to bad past experience.
You are sorely misguided
I sold my pixel
I'm going to pretty soon myself.
Nah good try.. ultra 24 all the way.
Good try .
