  • Is the Google Pixel 8 Pro worth it after 6 Months? How good is the camera system? Does Video Boost really work? What exclusive features did it get that are now coming to other phones, and does that make it feel a bit less like a Google-exclusive phone?
    We’ll also cover the phone’s battery life, display, temperature sensor, the new magic editor, other photo features like Best Take and Audio Magic Eraser, the experience of replacing the Google Assistant with Google’s Gemni AI, the phone's build quality, Google’s new case and then the downsides we’ve run into with it and our overall recommendation on who we think the Pixel 8 Pro is for.

    Gemini is currently undercooked and I hated the fact that my Pixel was pushing for me to change to it. Turned it off as I had the same bad experience. It doesn't do more than half of the things I use the assistant for. Especially making calls. It would ask me to unlock the phone all the time when the Assistant just does it... And playing music is also a nightmare.

    I currently own a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It will be 4 years this August since I purchased it. To this day it still has no lag and it does everything I want it to do. However, I've been having trouble with the video camera focus. Anyway, I thought it was time to get a new phone. I wanted the 24 Ultra, but with no trade in T-Mobile wanted close to $600 down for my target of $20 a month payment. The 8 Pro was my second choice. T-Mobile wanted $400 down. I was like "No way" so, with no money down I purchased an unlocked phone from Google. It should arrive on Thursday. My payments are $24 a month. Gr8 review. 📱 🇺🇸

    I recommend also, for people that like the Pixel clean UI, to try the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra or 50 Pro. Basically the some UI, with great hardware, materials and killer gestures (the best ones). They're collaborating with Pantone for the screen and skin tones in the camera, and could even access some (all?) Google Photos software options.

    I want to love Pixels and I really do like both my 6a and 7a but its difficult to justify the shortcomings of the Tensor chip. Doesn't help that first party support and some AI features are lacking in other regions (SEA for me). Google needs to step up where other brands are slowly but surely catching up. They need to treat its Pixel users less like beta testers and more like regular consumers...

    I'm on the Pixel 7 and I was hoping that Gemini and Google Assistant would work together and hand off the tasks to each other. Just like how you demonstrated, Gemini is smart enough to understand you are asking it to perform a function but does not have the capability to do so. So just like you, I just want to play music, start a timer, or open up Lens but could not do with Gemini.
    Maybe we should just have Assistant as the interface for Gemini, or have Gemini work in the background for Assistant.
    Also, HDR is written as "HRD" at 0:31.

I like literally everything about it, but most, stability, i can update without a fear that it will crash, hang, add bugs and so on. The battery lide is way better on s24 ultra, video quality is way better also, portrait mode has 4 different focal lengths, night photography/videography are better also and the selfie camera. Anyways its literally better in 80% of ways.

    I used to be a hardcore nexus user then got the first few Google pixels and switched to oneplus and now back with the 8 pro but this whole Google giving away features that they made seem like only possible on the tensor chip was a slap to the face after paying over $1200 for the 256gb version. Also the software hasn't been as great as i remember it being in previous pixel phones I have some very annoying bugs like the pill navigation bar moving to the side of the screen instead of sticking to the bottom and sometimes my app drawer staying on the screen and freezing my phone for a few seconds. I wish googles tensor chip was stronger like the snapdragons the gaming experience hasn't been the best even the previous oneplus phone I had was better in gaming performance. I kind of regret this purchase not going to lie.

    I find the pixel camera good , but not always good, and against my 14 pro max , they trade punches , they both have strength's and weaknesses.
    I will say the only reason i bought the 8 pro was for the picture editing features, we had a death in the family and a pile of old photos to try and make acceptable for the funeral service , and it did a fair job for that purpose , but it does have limitations, you just cannot magically make a bad photo good no matter how good the editing software is.
    It's a decent phone i think , but my iPhone 14 pro max is still the device i carry .
    I have my iPhone on charge and I'm near my macbook in the lounge or ipad and get a phone call , the call comes through on both , and I can seamlessly take the call on either .
    I know people babble on about the apple ecosystem, but it really does have some advantages.
    The iPhone has magsafe which I use every single day.
    Is it perfect? No none are , but it is pretty good imo and I'm a long time android boy since the galaxy note 2 .
    So I'm not biased , for me the pixel makes a good second phone.
    The temperature thing i was highly sceptical about is use , but as time passef on several occasions, i have found some interesting uses for it.
    Just one off the top of my head , in hot weather here in australia one day i wondered what the difference in temperature would be between one of our cars painted black in direct sunlight and a white car , they where both still bloody hot, but the white car iirc was about 8 to 10 degrees cooler , how hot is my coffee , lol you know these not really important questions 😊, still handy to have though.

    This is actually a bad take and the reason is exactly what you stated - you don't have kids. I think pixo 8 pro is probably one of the best phones for families or parents. I'm not a Google pixel fan boy by any means (I hate the pixel quality control. When I first got my pixel 8 pro the screen was broken out of the box). I think the value of the pixel 8 pro is its user friendliness, photo taking and the most underrated function which is the temperature sensor. I have two kids, so I use it very often and it is very accurate. I don't play games so I don't need the latest chip that Snapdragon offers.

    The reason why I purchase a Samsung is the camera. Samsung sucks in every other way possible for Android! I am looking to try to get out of the Samsung network and into Google because iPhone is good but it's so limited. I cannot go with Google Pixel which creates a bad camera on purpose and then wants you to spend money to do what's called a video boost. So someone out there in this f***** up world where everything is absolutely garbage and every company is not looking to just make money but to be fat as a f****** pig can someone tell me that Google didn't charge for video boost?
