Fraud: What a joke…Google/YT is dishonestly pushing Black videos down our throats. This black channel has 19k subscribers and its Pixel video has 20k views in 2 weeks, WHEREAS the Pixel review of FIVE WEEKS ago on the great JSL Reviews channel - with TWELVE TIMES (!) the subscribers (221k) - has barely any more views than this one.

I recently just found your channel and I love it already. I managed to get myself a Pixel 8 as a second phone, 2 days ago and I literally fell in love with the camera.

Just ordered my pixel 8 and every video I've watched on KZfaq is complaining about performance. Right now im using pixel 5 but if performance is a little better than the 5 then i think im good coz the 5 handles well.😅

Good Job bro.......Really needed this 👍

I have a question about the stutters on scrolling. Does it also happen on pixel 8a knowing that they have the same chipset? Because I have actually read a lot about the stutters people said on the pixel 8 but haven't heard that much on pixel 8a (I am not so sure with the pixel 8 pro tho since I haven't really watched videos about it).

Good review, thanks for the video! Thinking about finally upgrading my trusty Pixel 2 XL 😅

Thanks. This was an excellent review. Every time I think I may buy a Pixel I read a few reviews and there is just always something that steers me to something else. Still trying to decide on this phone. I really only want it for VIDEO and that's it. I probably will not even use the phone. It's just that there are so few options of a pocketable video camera at this price point. The POV Action Cams feel weird to me. So I am off to look at some video samples. I also do NOT believe the batter is going to last more than 2 to 3 years for my use. But how does one review the life of a battery?

love the cc you do

Got my Pixel Eight about a month now and NO issues to report - finger print reader works first time every time, memory holds true when switching apps, calls are so clear, very smooth everyday tasks- links to my PC for effortless file transfers so when am back in the office it's all their. I don't play games on this but lots of video instead and the screen is brilliant! This is my opinion and I think why go anywhere else when stock android is so good on this. ( I have a iPhone too for work but keep reaching for the Pixel because what is does it does so well).

The non usage of 120hz on 3rd party apps is across all pixel 8 series phone? I have the pixel 8a and twitter, reddit is not as smooth as on my S24U. What about pixel 8 pro?

Nice review, but could you let me know sound quality from Pixel 8 (speaker, bluetooth headphone, android auto). I'm using Pixel 7 and the sound quality really poor

Do you have any heating problems during those months in use?Thank u!

I have a pixel 8a and i haven't experienced any stutters. I have 120hz on in settings and in developer option i have "forced peak refresh" rate on.

Hey, have you experienced the "Green Screen" issue with your Pixel 8?

do a video comparing this to the 8a if you can please

As a phone nerd who switches between multiple android devices every few weeks or so (S24, Flip 5, S23 Ultra, and Pixel to name a few), I can honestly confirm that the Pixel 8 has stutters/jitters through every app - even Google's native apps. In addition, battery life also suffers unfortunately. It's a decent mid tier phone with amazing UI imo but like the creater said, its held back by sub par performance. Also, I can confirm it does overheat more than it should. Its that tensor chip...its just not close to Sammys Snapdragon. With all that said, my SIM card is currently in the pixel 8 and I still enjoy it even though it has its flaws. From its system UI to its notification sounds, it's still a clean and simple phone to use. The exterior design language is much better than any late Samsung model I've used.

How can the phone be tracked if the power is off?

"It was a pretty rocky start ..." I though you said the phone was solid in your other reviews 🤔

I can't complain it's a great phone 8 pro. The shutter on camera can be fast I agree. Google don't have burst photo take?

Cool video! What's the widget with the weather and date? Can't find it in stock apps even though it look like a stock one.

Why doesn't Google employ 0 -120 Hz.. depending on what you are looking at? As Samsung, I think!

Does it still heats up for no absolute reason?

That's the phone I have right now which I got on my 18th birthday on December 21st 2023

The battery life is quite good for this phone.

the battery life is still garbage Google really needs to work on this

Which one is better Pixel 8 or Samsung S23?

I still haven't got the update yet, everyone already got it 2 days ago.

Switched From 13 pro Max to pixel 6 pro 😢 greatest mistake ever... Battery sucks - need to charge it 3 times a day on heavy usage. Waiting for September to switch to 15 or 16 pro Max

honestly with the beta of android 15 the stutters are significantly reduced

anybody else has been having terrible battery issues? The phone instantly died when it finds itself on low levels of battery percentage, i think it's related to the find your phone when dead feature, but it surely can't have been implemented this badly.

Gg promised 7 years of android updates but too be honest, im not so sure if that tensor can make it:v The g3 is pathetically slow and hot compare to stuff like snap 8g2,dimen 9200, a16 and even the exynos 2400 from samsung, even if u compare with mid range chipset like dimen 8300, 7gen3,... they are somewhat on the same level with the pix8 or even surpass the pix, sure the chipset is not everything for a phone but it is a crucial aspect that many people will look at and skip this phone The pixel will be one of the best phone with another soc even if it is a modified snap or dimen but gg want to use an modified exynoss soc from a year prior so yeah

I had a pixel 8 before and just switched to samsung s23. While pixel's camera is better, samsung is just way more stable when it comes to UI, software, animation, battery, performance and more. I would rather have a decent camera but very stable performance than a great camera but with annoying jitters and glitches all the tim

Wallpaper please.!♥️

The pixel makes people of color skin look darker except pictures are taken under bright light conditions. Overall, pixel pictures look under-exposed when the lights fall.

As you say - at full price NO CHANCE - but like me - got mine 8 (non Pro) yesterday for 1/3 of original price - (used condition) - it just STEAL - for the same price I could only get nearly THREE YEARS OLD iPhone 13 with worn battery

is it better than an iphone 14?

It's just me or ultrasonic is too fast that my friend sometimes complain about accidentally unlocking his phone just by touching that sensor

My pixel 8 is terrible constant scrolling stutter jank and keeps over heating shame my 4xl is smoother

But. Some people.. myself included. Prefer as large a screen as possible.

Pixel 8's battery life and performance are pure garbage considering the competition at that price. Been using the regular Pixel 8 since day one and 120 Hz does not even feel that smooth, with stutters and scrolling lag still very much present. Wouldn't be buying another Pixel until they move over to Qualcomm.

What! Finally an objective review and they won't be switching to Qualcomm. If they choose to use 2 -3 yesr old cores and push them to the max as they have with Exynos the change to Tsmc will not make things any better. Google always cutting corners and trying to prove software can beat hardware.😂😂😂😂

Stutter getting fixed with Android 15, it only appeared after introduction of Tensor. Current owner of Oneplus 12R, iPhone 15 Plus, 13 Pro Max, S24 Plus, and my Pixel 8 still gives me way better overall experience than others, you can take multiple shots by spamming the shutter button one by one simultaneously, and not trying to click it every 2 mili-seconds.

#TeamPixel #Android15Beta

The display is 120 hz bro

Pixel phones are not flagship level cuz of tensor

$700 budget phone... right...

Watching this in my iPhone 11…😁 iPhone still cool

Great + reliable review, seemingly unreliable phone.

I have this phone and it's atrocious. For almost € 700,- basic functions are full of bugs. 1) impossible to switch vibration on/off (you are forced to have vibration always on, then it always vibrates, also in non-vibration mode). If you DON'T agree to vibration always-on it completely malfunctions and literal vibration mode will turn into complete silent mode without a warning (no ringtone AND NO VIBRATION in vibration mode 🙃) 2) impossible to put individual contacts on silent (you are forced to hear an annoying ringtone for any contact if you literally select "NO ringtone". The no-ringtone is a very annoying loud ringtone 🙃) 3) impossible to have "read aloud" in background, even if you select "in background". You are forced to keep the text on the screen, but if I have to keep the text on the screen I don't need "read aloud", then I can as well just read it. Did I mention that "read aloud" was advertised 🙃 4) phone never informed me for the security update. I didn't switch notification off, I didn't swipe and ignore notifications. Just never got a notification. I had to search the system menu by hand to realize a big update has been waiting to be downloaded/installed 🙃 5) the phone is on the market for almost a year. None of the issues have been fixed. € 700,- and the claim to be a really SMART phone. It's atrocious. Don't buy until those bugs are fixed.
