    I actually like pixel 8 pro...I don't play games,just whtsapp UA-cam ...and it's nice to have ....the cameras are fantastic and my iPhone friends use my pixel to take photos during events so I'm pleased...Just wished Google spent time putting Snapdragon and better marketing

    Been watching your videos for a few months now and I really appreciate them because the larger youtubers do exactly like you mentioned: use it for 2 weeks, give a recommendation, then move onto the next big thing. This means that they can't often do a follow up of the product months down the road and if their opinions still stand.
    I believe your videos can resonate to a larger group of practical audiences looking to see if things can stand the test of time, not just when they're new and shiny. Its the validation of products that make your video unique and the flow and opinions are great. Really enjoy your content and best of luck!

    I don’t have a Pixel phone from the 8 series lineup but I previously had the 5a, 6, and 6a. Each one had various bugs and glitches that just made me go with an iPhone to avoid issues. I think Google doesn’t want to admit defeat with their Tensor chipset but it just isn’t working as they’d hoped or as good as we users had hoped. Pixels are notorious for overheating, poor battery life, and overall bad connectivity issues. I feel this is due to Tensor being a modified Exynos processor. And I don’t think it’ll improve until 2025 when TSMC is manufacturing their chipset. That should stabilize the Exynos issues with Tensor hopefully.

    as for tensor vs SD chips, people forget snapdragon ships are over 10 years old. How people expect a three-year-old tensor tech to compete and possibly win against the snapdragon amazes me. Give the tensor same more time and see what happens

The Pixel 8 has call screening which I love and all the Google apps are native to the phone with the S24 Plus they have Samsung apps which personally I don't use too much but using those apps is all part of the Samsung experience.now as far as the AI features in my personal opinion Pixel 8 pro works better. The speech to text is amazing on the pixel 8 since gaming is not a factor I would say it comes down to personal preference with you personally I would have to go with the S24 Plus because the battery life is just amazing on this device and that's something that's #1 on my list when I'm choosing a flagship Device.

      I already have a Pixel 8 Pro and I've had it since launch and my S22 ultra is a better device. So I very much doubt you even have a 24 Ultra to make such a statement, you are just here to tell stories to get Pixel Fanboy likes.
      If you wasn't going to swap you wouldn't need to ask for opinions
      The Pixel has had a fair few issues as usual, and again it is just not in the same league as the Ultra.
      On the whole the pictures are not as good as people portray on UA-cam, it has a fair few misfires, Motion blur, the magents hue has returned, painfully slow processing and painfully slow AI implementation. It is not a Flagship level performing device in all honesty.

    Build quality quite good, but it's full of bugs. P30 pro was more reliable. Fingerprint sensor awful. Ai is brilliant, screen is perfect just not bright enough. Phone settings limited, for example can set bottom 3 buttons placement. Camera is brilliant but enabling options is confusing a bit. Need to disable several options that I can't find to enable one thing. To be honest I expected a bit more at this price range.
