      I don't watch a ton of tech reviews, certainly not as much as I used to since things have plateaued, but I always check out what *FLOSS* has to say when a flagship drops, and *NEVER* buy a phone without seeing his review. You're right, he keeps the same format and it's obviously repetitive, but I like the consistency and appreciate his honesty. And I really like how he nitpicks since there's very few differences from one phone to the next!

    I prefer the lockscreen of the Pixel compared to the S23U. Beautiful animations, love the transitions from AOD to lock screen, and I love the little preview thing where you tap the screen and it expands from an icon to a full blown notification. It's just all done so well.

  • @breedlofam
    @breedlofam 6 місяців тому +72

    Agreed on the battery. I just can't understand why these "flagship" devices are skimping out on battery. Make the battery be even with that camera hump and give us all day usage battery life. It would likely allow more room above the hump to integrate a better face unlock system as well as a wired headphone port or remote IR feature. If it's heavier, that's OK. The vast majority of us are adults and can handle a few more ounces of weight.

    • @vandalg282
      @vandalg282 6 місяців тому +8

      So to explain simply; more battery life means a bigger battery, at some point you don't want to walking around with a phablet essentially, after 7inches of screen, you just want to buy a fold, which to me is just dumb. With that posted, battery life now needs to be software and not hardware based. This is essentially how everyone tackles the issue, lest you want a giant tablet of a phone in your hand.
      Keep in mind that all batteries on phones with 4,000 mah+, lasts for days, however, its the user and or settings that will of course reduce up-time. Simple fix; you don't need 100% brightness or to constantly play a game that will drain said battery. If you're not that reasonable, best carry a second device to play games and rely less on the phone.

    • @breedlofam
      @breedlofam 6 місяців тому

      @@vandalg282 Bro, I'm 44 and have been using smart phones and devices since the palm pilot. Software isn't going to fix everything or even most of it. More efficient SoC's, displays etc will have far more positive effect on battery life than software will at this point. Regardless of that, adding the minimal width and thickness required to slot an S pen on one panel will increase the battery capacity on the other panel as well which will also increase the outer and inner display size. Most of us are adults, an extra 2-3 ounces aren't going to even be noticeable a few days later.
      I have my issues with the One Plus Open, but dimensions aren't one of them. There's a reason that it is so lauded for it's screen ratio. It makes the outside screen usable for more than short messages being the main takeaway. Every single time you fold and unfold your display, you are adding wear and tear to the mechanism. Having to unfold it for what would be normal phone front display use is incredibly unintuitive.
      I'm a POWER user of my Fold devices, meaning I actually use 3 panels and the floating window A LOT for work. Having a device like the Fold has been a godsend for me with it's raw usability of the inner display, but I find myself having to use the inner display when I don't even want to, simply because it's almost necessary.

    Great review Flossy, as always. I upgraded from Pixel 7 Pro to Pixel 8 Pro. The main selling points for me this time was matte back, better camera, much higher "nittage" (important for me in FL sun), louder speakers and flat screen. I got Sky color and it's beautiful. I also got free pixel watch 2 and $550 trade-in credit for my pro 7 at best buy so it was really a no-brainer.

    • @MrMOd3RnW4rF4R3
      @MrMOd3RnW4rF4R3 6 місяців тому +11

      Same here. 7P to 8P. The new brightness is absolutely the main selling point. I work in office 50% of the time the other half driving. Trying to reply to my guys, or dog around for emails in the mid day sun is horrible typically but the 8P has outshined ;). Still waiting for the watch to ship that's just icing on the cake right behind the trade in credit. The fun AI customization and looks are the cherry on top. Either way, depends what someone's looking for. However, I don't regret it.

      I bought the 8 pro and returned it. Even for me, I couldn't find enough arguments to upgrade from my 7 pro. The only thing that was a lot better was the front cam. The back cam is almost identical, as results are almost the same. The Google software magic working on the photos is just too good imho. Battery life isn't that good on the 7 pro, but it's fine.
      I didn't like the curves much on the display, but the flat display on the 8 pro was just too narrow.

    I've used every Nexus/Pixel since the Nexus 4, my favorite was the 6p, but IMO the 8 Pro is the best one they've ever released. *FLOSS* said a week, but for me it takes about a month for the software to kick in, sometimes even longer. Love the direction Google is going with Pixel, and unlike *FLOSS* who prefers as many features packed in as possible, I like keeping things light and simple, which is why I prefer Pixel and iPhone (and the old OnePlus).

The biometrics and battery are.. adaquate, could be improved. The price increase and storage options is a kicker. I was closer to eyeing up an Apple this time, but those Pixel launch deals are unbelievable. I got a Pixel 2 watch with this, totally sealed it for me.

    Great and helpful review as always. Those little day to day things I just can't get past and no one else mentions it - not being able to change the Home Screen widgets, the poor biometrics. Probably either going to upgrade to iPhone 15 for notes and automations or wait for Samsung S24 - hopefully samsung will offer 7 years of updates now that they are giving 7 years to Pixel

      I hope I'm wrong but I doubt Samsung will commit to 7 years. Makes sense for Pixel since they control the OS, but since Samsung doesn't, that's a long time commitment ... Definitely shows how much phones have plateaued and that Google doesn't see anything ground breaking coming out in the next 5-7 years.

And I’ve been taking a wait and see approach to if all the software bugs and glitches have been solved. I will say they fixed a lot of my issues with Pixels. $1000 is also TGH and they should’ve stuck with the old prices to give us value.

And I don't care about what's in the box. Charger would be nice, but then they'll just increase the price, and I'd rather it come with nothing and save $50 ... Especially a generic case and cable, two things I wouldn't use and even if it's only $10, I'd rather save that than get something just because ... Floss the goat but one thing I have a different opinion on, is he likes as many features as possible, even if he doesn't use em. I prefer keeping things light and simple.

    Thanks for this and your other great reviews, completely agree about the price and it's worse in other countries. Here in Germany this released for €1100 for the 128gb variant. That is insultingly TDH. If they can bring it to €1000 maximum for 256gb minimum by Black Friday... Maybe. I've seen the S23 ultra here in the 900 range with that much storage but really not a fan of the curved screen. Going to wait until Black Friday and see what Xiaomi has in store in the meantime. The OnePlus open also looked really good but it's so expensive. I wish they would make a candy bar phone with that camera and a flat display at a reasonable price but that's probably not going to happen.
    Still waiting for the perfect device with my Pixel 2 I bought new. The time to finally upgrade my life is long overdue you are absolutely right. My problem is no device is ever perfect...
