Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Pixel 8 Pro Review in 5 Minutes: Google’s best phone yet!”.
With the pixel8 pro, Google has listened to our complaints added features like manual camera controls, power for new AI functions and fixed a lot of the common complaints with previous pixel devices, but does it make it a worthy Pro tier device? Well, let’s find out in the next 5 minutes. A lot has changed for the better on the pixel8 pro, including better camera software manual, camera controls of the Headline Edition. But the pixel8 series point and shoot credentials are still excellent and among the best in the indust best take upgrades the top shot feature. Zoom enhance, makes photos even more usable above 20x and audio Magic. Eraser reduces the background noise of your videos for an overall, cleaner, sound all of these work, in tandem with the features that are already existing and make for an excellent experience.
Despite these neat tricks, though, the 8 PR camera is not actually a Quantum Leap, with some little tweaks to the lenses and sensors to fine true in the quality annoyingly, though, some of the video functions like night sight, video and video boost are not yet available until Later this year – and they are needed as video is still a weak point on the pixel 8 Pro these annoyances aside, the improved zoom and overall consistency do remain high and it is a superb camera system once again with better ultrawide shots and arguably the best skin Tone: mapping on the market, one of the reasons I actually love, having a pixel on hand at all times, is just how well it handles daytime night and even every type of setting you could ever conceive with a Stills camera system. The new temperature sensor feels, like the biggest Google gimmick in some time to be added to the camera system. In fact, it actually still requires FDA approval for humans. It actually isn’t even that accurate in our testing, and it definitely feels like a remnant of the pandemic. That has hung around the design, isn’t a drastic overhaul and that’s okay, I think personally, the best color is the blue and the ditched gloss for matte glass actually adds a touch of extra class. The brushed aluminium accen in makes these colors pop and is a stand out when compared to other Android phones, less prominent Corners, make it softer and easier to hold and definitely more approachable than ever before. I’D call it bubbly, you might call it rounded hey, you might not rock this phone without a case, but damn does it feel good to hold this device this year. I also applaud the move to a flat display here. It feels like an important switch for usability and comfort. Google is calling the updated panel an actual display, but that’s just a buzzword like retina, on the iPhone or Infinity o on Samsung phones to be fair, it’s one of the best on the market and all of your content will really pop, especially when doing things like Gaming watching videos or looking at photos, it gets super bright without ruining the experience as well. I love that you don’t actually need to find shade or cup the screen to make things readable in all lighting conditions.
The random features also continue within Android 14, which ships with this phone as standard. It’S chalk full of even more material, you goodness and customization options like the AI designed wallpapers, which are super cool and let you change things on the Fly and in the style that you want to. It’S also pleasing to see that the hardware fully now resembles the updated and rounded software aesthetic, because everything syns up across that hardware and software more so than it ever has done before getting seven years of updates is just the icing at top the cake, and it’s Great for Google’s long-term sustainability drive here as well. The 10 G3 processor does get underwhelming benchmark scores when compared to the competition. Even so, I haven’t really seen a single slowdown when doing the basics, and even some 3D gaming has been excellent.
In my own experience, it’s going to be fine for pretty much anybody out there, but, interestingly, a ton of the unique features I mentioned earlier. That do rely on a actually need an active network connection to work or process which could, in theory, be a blessing in disguise, as it should relieve some of the stress on the processor itself. This handoff process does make editing a little slow at times and I hated waiting when I’m connected to a spotty, Wi-Fi or Data Network. Magic editor is one of the most prominent examples of this. It’S a cool and needed feature. That’S really impressive in the flesh, but it’s less impressive, given Brands like xiaomi, have had similar or less capable functions, at least for a while. This can also take a while to process and requires backups to Google photos which somewhat ruins that magic aspect and makes it less seamless. It’S also awesome that the pixel 8 Pro runs a lot cooler than the pixel 7 Pro, which had truly awful thermals hey.
It isn’t the most powerful phone you can buy, but it is the most powerful pixel today, which probably matters more to most of you out there. I know, of course it’s horrendously cliche, but the 8 Pro is also buttery smooth, even without that extra power and for most people, I think it’ll provide more than enough overhead to do what you need or want it to do. Each and every single day I’m going to stop short of calling the battery excellent on the 8 Pro. The good news is, though, there is an improvement over the pixel 7 Pro light users might get a couple of days. The rest of us will still be hitting the charger at least once per day in our testing, with the improved 27 wat wired charging you’re, also looking at 0 to 100 % in an hour and 25 to an hour and 30 minutes to fully get you back Up and running here too, all in all, if you’re in the market for a new Android phone, you can probably do much worse than the pixel 8 Pro, which is without question Google’s best phone to to date, although it isn’t quite the best pro tier phone, you Can buy the compromises are less pronounced and, although it is more expensive than ever, it definitely feels more worth its $ 999,000 price tag when you consider the price per year of support and fixes for major previous pixel frustrations. If my timer is correct, I think that more or less is everything you need to know about the pixel8 pro in just 5 minutes. Thank you for joining me and I will catch you in the next one. .
