Ever since I switched over to the Pixel 8 Pro at the end of 2023, I've been using it as my main, everyday device.
As such, I thought it would be worth putting together a final, updated review to let you know why I’ve continued using it for so long, and to address why I think this might be the last Pixel phone I use long-term.
Enjoy!

This is true, but due to the way Android is set up, this causes bugs if you use gesture navigation. It's usable, but it's far from ideal.
@MysterX79 Ай бұрын
The gesture navigation has small glitches. For a short split second you can see the normal PixelLauncher - then the other launcher takes over. If you use the three button method (BACK,HOME,RECENTS) on android, there are no glitches! For people who don't care about such details, using a 3rd-party-launcher on the Pixel ist perfect. But for people like me this is also VERY annoying.

A trick that works wonderfull for me: - register both thumbs alternating as 1 finger. "Alternating" means Left-Right-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R during registering. - both thumbs work and the sensor works perfectly for a day until your probing thumb is wet for example - register those both wet thumbs immidiatly as a 2nd finger - the sensor works perfectly for a week until your probing thumb is dry - register those both dry thumbs immidiatly as a 3rd finger - the sensor works perfectly for a month until your probing thumb is dirty - register those both dirty thumbs immidiatly as a 4th finger Done! The sensor works perfectly 99.9% of the time!

I’m a Pixel fan but ever since the 6 lineup started with Tensor, it’s been mostly the same issues. It surely cannot be this hard for Google, a software company, to get their software and even the hardware right. To make matters worse, they raised their prices too and continue having the same problems. Unless you just want a new Pixel now and can’t wait, I’d say wait for the 10 lineup. That’ll be the earliest one to buy that might fix these issues since TSMC will be handling the fabrication of the Tensor chip. Even then, I still suspect they’ll have bugs and glitches to work out. Google has lost many customers because they can’t get their act together and sell reliable phones. These days even Motorola is a more reliable phone to get and despite lesser support, you can customize it way more. It’s like having a Pixel without issues or limitations.

I bought a "renewed" Pixel 8 Pro despite the battery life and fingerprint sensor complaints also noted on this video. 1) But if you aren't a phone gamer the battery life is fine. I am up and about at 9AM and by 11PM I still have 35-40% remaining. Sure, compared to the Snapdragon "2 day" batteries, it's less. But I have no problem with the Pixel 8 Pro's battery life. 2) The fingerprint sensor: brother, maybe you need to trade in your fingers? I have not experienced a single read failure since I have had this phone for 3 weeks now. And a side note, I have owned a couple of Samsung Galaxy Ultras. Their ultrasonic reader is more launch hype than noticeable difference in practice and in my experience. Even the OnePlus optical fingerprint sensor is just as fast. I don't see the vast superiority on the Samsung's they have claimed.

This is the stupidest take I've ever seen. Trade in your fingers? I registered my same finger twice and the performance still sucked. The battery life does suck, maybe if you hardly use your phone at all it's fine. The performance is bad, you just haven't used the phone long enough to notice it is my guess. Overall, this is all wrong.

Personally, as an iPhone user who owns both a pixel 8 pro and a S24, I always find my way back to the pixel. It does lack customization but I enjoy that aspect of it. Although my S24 can do more and is more powerful, I almost feel overwhelmed with the amount of customization i CAN do. Most features I use on my S24 are available on my Pixel.
@dallan7740 Ай бұрын
You're spot on with the Video Boost. Almost completely useless as it currently stands. In the few times I've tested it, the output is genuinely much better than normal video. But the limitations on it are too great and as you say you have to remember to enable it every flipping time. Stand by for built in video boost in the Pixel 9. Which is what it should have been in the first place. So half-assed by Google.

I've been using the pixel 8 since November and this review is absolutely spot on I've had issues with the g3 as it gets hot during normal use or just a video call, it can get choppy and unresponsive. The cameras are good but video is average. The modem imo is awful and the my biggest gripe is the brightness it suddenly goes very low. So after 5 minutes in the sun the phone is at 60% brightness and you can tell the screen got dim. The pixel 9 pro is a make or break for me if it doesn't improve performance, battery and signal I'll be switching to an iPhone 16 pro

The camera wasn't even that good, low light performance was awful, the pictures just became a blob.

I still don't understand the allure of a pixel phone. I missed your initial review, but you nailed it. It is a midrange device. The pricing, processor, 128 mb storage, lack of customization, and "stock" android make it a pretender of a flagship device. That's too many compromises. It does have some great features, but as a package it falls short. There is a reason that it has a 2% market share. I don't know one single person that owns a pixel device.

your forgot to mention the bad modems that lose 5g connection weak WIFI signal and in general cellular signal drop calls also overheat doing the basic things and software updates is braking features left and right slow charging and cheap cpu

Nova launcher allows me full customization and I have seen no downside. Have you tried this.?

Sam definitely has. Sam instead typically just uses lawnchair. When you're rooted, lawnchair can be set as your device's default recent provider instead of the stock launcher which allows for even better app open and close animation than what the android GenstureNavContract API allows for.

Think the pixel 8pro is pretty poor in every department. It's just not optimised like apples OS... Battery drain is not acceptable and not as efficient as it should be. My 3rd pixel over the years and it's hard to recommend

If only this phone came with a Snapdragon chip!🤦♀ Maybe even the battery life would be better.
