In my Google Pixel 8 Pro review, I reveal my full thoughts on Google’s latest flagship smartphone. What’s the new camera system like? Are the AI features gimmicky or genuinely useful? Is it better than the iPhone 15 Pro Max? I answer everything in this video! Oh, and this entire video is shot (pretty much) on the Pixel 8 Pro!

I'd like to be able to send a message to people in specific apps like Microsoft Teams and basic things like turning TVs on and off in my house with some form of consistency and not having to touch the phone. Google Assistant has seemed to have gotten worse over the years so if small day to day tasks are easier I feel this would set it apart if they can use the brains of Bard for simple things.

I have the Pro and no new AI is needed what is needed is to put the Pro Features into the smaller sized phone. Its way too heavy and large. Need a purse to carry it and Im not a women. Im on the fench on returning it to the bloat. Funny its battery does not last any longer than the non pro. I just like the zoom camera. The watch lasted me 14 hours not 24. Kind of half backed for the price.

Just on the display , allegedly despite being nice and bright and colorful, according to another reviewer it is a peg below the displays on the galaxy and iPhone flagships if you want the the more expensive hdr displays for watching movies in maximum high color definition . Probably won’t notice it in normal use I suspect, but you have to consider apples for apples when you call out one for being cheaper than another there is probably a a C reason. In saying that I’m thinking of getting one as a second phone just for the AI stuff.

It's a better looking phone than the iPhone, but that's not difficult. iPhones have been pig ugly since the iPhone 8.

I can't afford a Pixel 8, but I'm more than happy with my 6a (in a case) which is running like a dream on Android 14. The fingerprint sensor is massively improved!

@@MarkEllisReviews I think as you've said before (and I've said in my replies to you that I'm exactly the same!), you're "trapped" in the Apple ecosystem but love the Pixel's photos and other features. I'm always having little flirts with Pixels and trying them out before realising I'm so embedded with Apple with my Watch Ultra, iPads, HomePods, Mac, HomeKit devices that I am never, ever leaving Apple unless something cataclysmic happens. I used my Pixel 7a for three weeks before my iPhone 15 Pro Max arrived, and I enjoyed many aspects of it, but missed the Apple ecosystem so much because I'm so reliant on it. I put "trapped" in quotes because I think Apple's ecosystem is second to none, and I thoroughly enjoy being in it, but its excellence makes it impossible to leave.

In the video shot outside parliament, the audio sounds unnatural with elements removed and your voice sounds dulled. I had to strain less to listen to you in the un-edited version; and I have tinnitus. Maybe our ears can do the job of focusing on a single audio element better than the software. While the removal/reduction of discrete audio elements is impressive and the development of that technology is to be encouraged, it doesn't yet appear to be at a stage where it is good enough to be practical.

It’s crazy how I just managed to buy one on eBay brand new for £720, it just came out and the value is already so low. My 14 pro max was sold for £650 after 13 months. Android phones are great but do not keep their value at all.

Some of that B Roll stuff is a bit flaky, but when you have phones like the 8 Pro and 15 Pro Max, do you even need pro cameras for this sort of work any more? The main video stuff looks great. I have a 6a and its brilliant apart from being made of cheese, which is a shame.
@MarkEllisReviews 10 ай бұрын
The front facing camera did an amazing job on this one - I agree. I think the b-roll looks great, too. Pro cameras just give you more control, which isn’t necessary for a good KZfaq video, conversely 👍

With Google's general attitude towards data protection, isn't there a concern with regards to the amount of AI this thing is packing? Especially with the features that require a file being sent to the cloud?
@Captain_Yossarian 10 ай бұрын
Probably a concern for AI in general. Given the potential negatives of AI that's probably on the milder side of what could go wrong. But that gets overly serious. FYI the 8Pro appears to do more AI tasks on device Vs the cloud. I believe Pixel 8 regular sends more to the cloud. But someone might correct me, just what I read repeatedly.

All Galaxy phones have been the same the last 3 years. The Pixel 8 Pro is the slowest flagship with the worst battery life. The iPhone 15 Pro Max best the S23 Ultra on speed, battery life, and blind camera test...that's innovation. Watch all Android phones use Titanium and add an Action Button next year to copy Apple's innovation. Notice the only thing the Pixel 8 Pro does well is camera tricks with software. Most people won't use those tricks daily

Just switched from the iPhone 14PM to the S23+ a couple months ago. The S23+ has worse cameras and worse battery life than the iPhone. Samsung's ecosystem is getting better but still doesn't compare to Apple's. I do miss Apple's ecosystem but I am going to continue using the S23+ to see if I can move past losing the features that Apple provides.

More reviewers should review the regular 8 because not everyone can afford the extra $300 or wants the extra camera gimmicks or the lame thermometer feature. I get it, tech reviewers want the best and most expensive, but most regular people like me prefer the compact size of the Pixel 8. That being said, the 8 series looks much better this year. I'm waiting to see if more of the core issues have been fixed which is something most all these reviews don't mention. Hopefully we see more regular 8 reviews in the coming days.

I have a video on the 8 arriving this weekend. The Pro series draws the audience, I'm afraid, hence its elevation in content calenders.
@5150crazyfun 10 ай бұрын
@@MarkEllisReviews I think it depends on who you are. Obviously if you want the upsell to the best then it’s the 8 pro. But your average consumer like me only wants a reliable flagship experience on a budget and that would be the pixel 8.
@goodguy4611 10 ай бұрын
@5150crazyfun you can't generalise an audience. Not everyone is going to buy the cheaper one, not everyone is going to buy the more expensive one. The pro generally has more features, so that is what reviewers are going to review first. Tldr: same main camera, same main chip, software locked ai features compared to 8 pro, lower res screen.
@5150crazyfun 10 ай бұрын
@@goodguy4611 exactly my point. These tech reviewers automatically assume everyone wants the 8 pro because there are maybe 2-3 reviews on the regular 8. All of the rest are 8 pro reviews. Like I said above it depends on who you are and what you prioritize. I’m just saying more balanced coverage should be out there for the base model too.

Hi Mark. New subscriber here. I really enjoyed your Pixel 8 Pro review and your studio, your obvious expertise, and your pleasant easy going voice just makes it a pleasant experience to watch. My wife & I live in the States & I received an email from Verizon today stating I was eligible to trade up for a free Pixel 8 if I ordered online. Long story short, I ended up trading my wife's 3 year old Pixel 5 for a new Pixel 8 Pro with 256GB of storage for $258. My wife already ordered a Caseology case for it & I ordered anew Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector for it. Hopefully she enjoys it as much as I do my Pixel 6 Pro.

On a separate note see I told everyone we wouldn’t see any M3 Mac’s until at least Q1 of 2024….now look at the rumours M3 Mac’s coming Q1 of 2024!. See told everyone my contact and not proxy me were 1000% accurate, pinpoint accurate. Sure my contact was wrong about the iPhone details but they doesn’t specialise in iPhones, but Mac’s!. You really can trust anything I say about future macs!. Like the new m3 pro MacBook Pro will be £50 less than the current M2pro version!.
