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 😅)
It’s been good. Battery life is great. The screen is good. The face unlock is an equivalent experience to my Pixel 4XL.
My only complaint is a weird one. I feel like the colour temperature on the cameras is a little cooler than my P4XL. Pictures under the same lighting seem a little too blue.
I really appreciate getting more screen real estate from the hole punch. And I like that the bezels are symmetric (or close enough that I can’t tell the difference).
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.
I wish there was a setting where I could tweak it. I guess I’ll just have to use filters on individual photos.
