The Pixel 8 Pro would likely be our 2023 phone of the year if we named such a rating. Its combination of software and hardware, as well as its ridiculously wonderful-to-touch haptics have made it the phone to beat for the time being. It’s that good, outside of its network abilities. It’s...

This applies to earlier models too, paying the full MSRP price is usually a not a good idea as the Pixel phones get discounted quite frequently. Of course this depends on everyone’s patience.

    My motto: Pixels go on sale so, wait for the sale. Only been rocking my 8 Pro since black fridayish.

      How do you like your 8? I’m on the 5a

        I bought mine for full price (well I got a watch with it for “free”) and I love it. The cameras are great, charges fast. I prefer having an actual back and home button, but if you’re already on a pixel you’re used to the gestures.

          Definitely used to the gestures already so no complaints there. Glad to hear it sounds like a solid upgrade!

      So true, I got my S23 256GB back in May for 700CAD, and that’s with taxes. The reason I got it so cheap was because it was on sale, I’m a student and there was a 200$ credit if you traded-in an iPhone. So I got to sell them my iPhone 8 for 100$ more than I could have ever hoped to sell it for on Facebook or Kijiji! (Could have got 150$ max for it, sold it to them for 240$ with the credits)
