Well the 8 looks like a terrible value. Minimal upgrades over the 7, no software benefits like pro controls, $100 price increase.

Just wait for the 7 to go on sale and get that instead.

128gb at $1000 is a joke. I’m more or less done with high end phones. I won’t use most of the high end features anyway. Bought a mid range Samsung last year with a micro SD card slot. Stuck a 512gb card in it. I am happy.

I’d be happy with a mid-range phone too, except I want a good camera. That’s basically the only reason I’m looking at high end phones…

Also it’s such bullshit that only mid-range phones have SD cards these days.

Pixels don’t have SD card slots. Even the mid range ones.

I am still rocking my pixel 5 with a custom ROM. Don’t see a reason to blow $ on a new phone. Will keep using my pixel 5 for as long as I can
