Google Pixel 8 Pro

Google fan since Nexus 5X Since then Pixel 2 Xl Pixel 4a Pixel 6 and now Pixel 8 Pro And never thought once to switch to another manufacturer.

The heating issue is there. When I tried to use the magic eraser the photos app got stopped frequently. Camera good. Display good. Design good. Performance – I think we need to wait for a few updates

I am using Pixel 4a for the past two years and just got it upgraded to 8 pro this week. I would say Google has really worked on the drawbacks they used to have and it almost paid off and I can easily say that Pixel 8 pro is meeting the expectations!! Especially the camera, it simply outperforms any other Premium phones. From the past two days of use I observed that the battery lasts for a whole day even if you use the camera so much. I need to see it furthermore after more using it for a long time. The only thing I doubt is it is priced a bit higher for the available 128 gb variants. Anyways, I can say it will not disappoint us in terms of cameras, performance look and feel etc,

Hate to Flipkart for delaying 24 days.!!! Product is wonderful. Everything top notch. Just perfect. Below I am attaching some camera shots. Parrot and myana bird are 5x Telescopic with 30x max zoom. Rest some night shots of firework. Some macro shots. Ultra hdr on this device looks so good. Every device will have this feature in the near future. It feels so good to experience this only device on the planet.

Have been a Google user ever since they launched the first HTC G1, G2 has been an HTC user and switched to Google, I still have Pixel 2XL and 6. Exchanged by Pixel 7 with Pixel 8 Pro. The camera is great, I have an iPhone 13 and I feel the Pixel Camera is miles apart and I usually shoot using my DSLR; my Mobile was used only for wide angles, and I always shoot RAW. But the manual control and full RAW support at 50MP in Pixel 8 Pro gave much-needed control and comfort. But still not there yet and they removed my favorite feature Photosphere (which can be sideloaded by installing GCAM). Pictures are processed but shot on Pixel 8 Pro 50MP RAW Screen – Good one, very bright vibrant Battery – OK for a day but needs a charger at the end of the day, using a camera drains the battery faster Software – Smooth, but sometimes becomes unresponsive and needs a restart Face ID and Finger – This is where I have a problem, I have an iPad Pro and iPhone 13 and the face ID works like a charm. In Pixel 8 pro it is annoying neither the face ID works properly nor the fingerprint and after 2 failures I have to eventually enter the PIN, which is annoying (maybe should disable one, but what is the point if they do not work) Network – I have both Airtel and Jio in Pixel 8 Pro. My iPad shows 5G on Airtel, but Pixel at times would only connect in LTE mode even though the 5G network is available in the location. So, I would get 90-100 Mbps on an iPad but only 10-15 Mbps on a Pixel 8 Pro. Same location same network

Loving it! Was worried a bit with negative reviews floating around! Thankfully all false alarms.

Display is gorgeous, Battery lasts me a day and a half, not had heating or network issues so far. Not a gamer so not worried about Tensor’s gaming performance.

Camera has been fantastic, both video and still pics are as expected from a Pixel. Can’t wait to try the new Video Boost feature.

Ex- Samsung user so I really feel the fluidity and animation difference between the two.

Most underrated feature is the haptics and accompanying sounds, they make the phone feel lively and not a dull slab of glass.

Got the 256 GB version, pretty sure 128 GB ain’t gonna last more than 1.5-2 yrs.

– Good camera
– Good battery
– Great software overall

– Bad network connectivity
– Some AI features (ex webpage summarisation) not available in India yet
– Thermometer app not preinstalled, only available after updating apps on playstore (no idea why?)

I preordered it on the launch day and I was expecting to get the watch as they advertised on flipkart but didn’t get it.Which is a bit disappointing, apart from that the phone is very nice and waited a long time to get a pixel.

Absolutely awesome, upgraded from Pixel 6a. This phone is terrific and any pixel lovers will be happy with the latest photo and video features available in this phone. Display is crisp and fantastic.

I was using iphone 14 pro and after listening to iphone 15 pro complains I made my mind to switch to Android and finally my wait is really worth after getting this magical pixel 8 pro sound is superb display brightness and clarity is mind-blowing photos are just like dslr booked and more detailing . No lag and battery is also awesome .I’m really happy with a Android phone finally . Which never happened thanks Google waiting to try new ai features once it is rolled out. As I pre-ordered on the same day or launch I was expecting either earbud or watch they will give with pro model but didn’t get . Thanks anyways I just love it

Just 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just got my Pixel 8 Pro, and I’m already blown away. The design is sleek and modern, the display is stunning, and the performance is incredibly fast. The camera is also excellent, taking amazing photos and videos in all lighting conditions. I’m excited to continue exploring all that the Pixel 8 Pro has to offer.

Pros:

Beautiful design
Stunning display
Incredibly fast performance
Excellent camera
Cons:

None so far

Awesome Photography mobile

After using since 1 week here is my review
Starting with the pros-
The design and in hand feel is premium.
Camera and display are the best part of the device.
Now cons
There is definitely heating issue. I haven’t played any game yet just doing casual surfing and normal usage, it gets so hot that I have to keep switching my hands. It gets very uncomfortable.
Battery lasts quite good hours but I am experiencing ideal battery drain.
Considering the price google is not giving promising results . Hope to see things getting better with future updates

Very well rounded phone ,
with butter smooth performance,
best camera for pics and with 8 series video as well .

Huge amount of small quality of life features like the ability to select any text or picture from any app in recents screen , digital wellbeing , adaptive charging and the general pixel experience is amazing .

I personally have had decent battery . Removing from charge around 8 am and easily lasting till night with 20% left .
The phone Occasionally gets warm , but it is rare .
The phone feels premium , looks unique .
It is quite heavy .

It’s a good one but on a premium price end now.
Updates:

I also have an iPhone 14 that I use alongside this device, here is the list of things which could have been better:

1. Speaker quality is lower than that of iPhone 14

2. Given the reputation of the pixel in the photos world, it seems like google is not making the most out of these new sensors yet. Hopefully they can improve more on the photos side too as I can see that there is a very good quality improvement on the video side but pixel videos still don’t outperform iPhone videos yet(got to see videoboost feature drop)

3. Heating issue, I don’t play games on this device but got to admit that thermal is not calibrated yet or it has some thermal management issues as doing normal usage of this device causes a warming effect which is not at all there in the iPhone 14.

4. No WiFi 7 hardware on Indian unit. US units have WiFi 7.

5. No call screening, car crash detection.

The reason to point these things out is, given the cost of this device it can’t get away with the basic things which can’t be ignored at this price point.

INDIAN units cost much more than the US unit whether or not considering bundle offer.

Be VERY SPECIFIC about what you expect if you are planning to buy this device.

Overall well experience, first time pixel user, nice camera, need to optimise more for battery,

Beauty with brain 🧠.

All specifications on the box are in Japanese language. May be I have to visit Japan to claim warranty!! No warranty card? Received today 27/03/2024, I don’t know Japanese, therefore unable to understand instructions! I can’t expect this type of sale from a reputed platform like Amazon.

As a longtime fan of Google’s Pixel lineup, I was eagerly anticipating the release of the Pixel 8 Pro. However, after using the device for several weeks, I can’t help but feel disappointed by its performance and features.

Firstly, let’s address the design. While the Pixel 8 Pro boasts a sleek and modern aesthetic, it feels surprisingly fragile in the hand. The build quality leaves much to be desired, with reports of easily scratched surfaces and weak points along the frame.

But the real letdown comes from the device’s performance. Despite being marketed as a flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8 Pro struggles with lag and stuttering, even during basic tasks like web browsing and app navigation. This is particularly frustrating considering the device’s high price point.

The camera system, which has been a standout feature of previous Pixel models, also falls short of expectations. While the Pixel 8 Pro’s camera is capable of capturing decent photos in optimal conditions, it often struggles in low-light environments and produces inconsistent results.

On top of these issues, I’ve encountered several software bugs and glitches that have hindered my overall experience with the device. From random app crashes to connectivity issues, it’s clear that the Pixel 8 Pro still has some kinks that need to be ironed out.

In conclusion, while the Pixel 8 Pro has its moments, it ultimately fails to deliver the level of quality and performance that I’ve come to expect from Google’s flagship smartphones. Unless significant improvements are made via software updates, I cannot recommend this device to others.

Google Always came out to be outstanding with their phones but the Pixel 8 Pro is just a disappointment . The phone has severe heating issues, you can’t use phone while standing out in the sun, the performance of the phone drops after a few hours of use due to heating, camera at night is worse, battery backup is less . At this price point the phone is simply not worth buying.
