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?
Pixel 5 here:
- 20-30% more battery life than the P5 when it was new (my P5 battery life is still very good like 90%-95% of when it was new). But I don’t want to have the excellent battery life I had in 2020. I want something better.
- Lower price than the P8 (so I’ll wait for a discount if I upgrade to that one).
- Better ambient light sensor in low light. Not the crap we have in the P5.
The rest (more years of updates. Than just 3 years) is already confirmed. A smaller size would be nicer. But the P8 size seems good.
In general I like the P8. But I’m still enjoying the P5 so I’m not hurried.
I’m buying the pixel 8 (have the pixel 7) because I want a smaller phone.
Only if every other phone maker on the planet was out of business.
SD card slot and headphones jack. And an affordable price.
Rocking a Galaxy S9+. Google’s going to have to release it, and have it be better than the 7. That’s it.
