I have a Pixel 7 Pro, but for me it’s a few things.
- Improved modem
- Increased battery life
- Better thermals
- SoC upgrade to 3nm process
- Improved camera
- Good deal or free stuff (e.g. free Pixel Watch 2, high Pixel 7 Pro trade in value)
What phone do you have and why might you want to upgrade to the Pixel 8?
I have a Pixel 6. After ~10 years of Google phones (Nexus 5, 6P, Pixel 2XL, 6) the world’s shittiest modem in my 6 is pushing me to switch to Zenfone 10. They would need to make the Pixel 8 with an infinitely better modem, a fingerprint reader that isn’t under the screen, a 6" screen max, and a plastic back instead of glass.
7’s is improved significantly, it’s back to what a normal modem should be again. 8’s should be the same or better modem.
The screen fingerprint reader continues to suck hard, though.
