Couldn't agree more tbh. Especially with the SoC. I understand the upside of a more powerful/efficient processor but this has rarely ever stuttered for me with my use case!

Yeah that was something that I also noticed too with the colour temperature. However, I tend to make my photos cooler. So for me it's something that I don't mind, but there have definitely been situations where it's even too cool for me, so I can understand that's frustration.

How is everyone enjoying their Pixel 8 experience?

Around the black Friday sales time, I tentatively switched from a Pixel 6 pro to an 8 pro. I was pretty nervous about the switch as my experience with the 6 pro was good but not great (specifically the battery life) and I didn't want the same to happen with the 8 pro. However, a few months on and I can say that my experience has been outstanding.

I never have to worry about battery life; the screen is bright and amazing; the face unlock is reliable and fast; and, it just feels like a more premium build compared to my 6 pro.

If you made the switch, what's your experience been like?

(Edit: P.S. I know I asked this question at launch in this sub but I love hearing long-term reviews ๐Ÿ˜…)

The good things you mentioned are great to hear! For some reason, the call quality somewhat lacked on my Pixel 5 and is just alright on my P6P.

Yeah being from AUS, I'm actually not too sure if I am missing some AI features. Which ones are you missing? Nonetheless, fingers crossed they reach all users sooner rather than later!

I am also the same with my phone's battery struggling when it is using mobile data compared to wifi. I'm hoping for your sake that it is just an optimisation issue and that it gets fixed over time. Especially as Google had mentioned the P8 was meant to be a more efficient product.

 

Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I'm still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don't intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last device? Most importantly are you still enjoying it?

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks so nice imo. I'm thinking of waiting for the pixel 9 or 10, but it'll be hard after seeing how good this is shaping up to be ๐Ÿฅฒ.

Hopefully the battery life see's some major improvements too!

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I am definitely a fan of this setup. It looks great!

 

For those of you who have updated their Pixel Tablets to Android 14, how has it been so far? Has there been any noticeable differences (good or bad) since updating?

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hopefully they continue to keep adding more faces before launch. I have enjoyed the current options however I wouldn't mind seeing what other choices google can provide!

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Yeah I'm honestly very excited for the more compact design but fingers crossed it's close to colours I imagined ๐Ÿคž

Lmao! Not horrible I suppose ๐Ÿ˜‚

 

Looks like there have been some more leaks with the Pixel 8 series. Personally I think it's looking good! What are your thoughts?

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Personally, I'm hoping the Jade colourway somewhat resembles the Alpine Green iPhone colourway. Kinda like this (it was a quick edit so obviously it would be more refined).

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

That's a completely fair deal-breaker. I think I'm going to check it out once it releases and see if it feels smooth for a 60hz screen. Although, hopefully the future iterations bump up that refresh rate to 90hz or 120hz.

I think I know exactly how you're feeling, It's pretty similar to my experience tbh. Again, I'm the same, I think I only ever made two posts on Reddit and a handful of comments in the five years I had an account. Whereas I've probably already matched that output here in the few days. Perhaps that's why I've been enjoying Lemmy as much as I have?

Honestly, I think I'd be content if enough people stayed here (or joined over time) to help this become recognised by the mainstream as a genuine Reddit alternative.

[โ€“] Sjvo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm in the same boat as you, account deleted and all. Personally, I was never really that active on Reddit but I've enjoyed Lemmy and the positive community feel. So for me, I won't be going back since I actually enjoy using this platform. My only fear is that others will jump back to Reddit eventually and these communities may go quiet. I guess we'll see.

 

Iโ€™ve been thinking about getting the tablet once it releases, but Iโ€™m curious about what others are thinking and what their use cases are going to be. So, whoโ€™s buying it? And if so, why?
