Google Pixel 8

Zero issues with this device. 2 day battery with average use. The 6.2" size is just perfect for my liking. Only dislike is the 50MP sensor of the camera which captures images at only 12MP. This was somewhat obscured by early online specs and advertising when this phone was entering the market. Since this phone uses the same chip-set they could have left this unlocked at the 50MP setting same as the 8 Pro. The pictures still look good with the Google post processing so it's something that can be overlooked in favour of everything else you get with this device.
Overall the phone has an excellent premium look and feel , IP68 water resistance, USB-3, always on display. 120hz OLED screen with adaptable refresh rates, respectable wired and wireless charging speeds, lots of long term updates for Android OS from Google. t's a good package really. I got mine via my carrier contract (on a limited time promo sale) for around $350 CAD. This is simply impossible to beat in this price bracket and what is being offered with this device. Even at around $600 price point this is still an excellent device with the spec sheet it offers.
So yeah it would rate it as "awesome" if it wasn't for the 12MP camera thing, and so it's "almost awesome" instead! I would still recommend considering this phone in 2025 since it's fully supported for updates until 2030!

It has barely anything to do with "Leica" branding.... Just using software alghorythms in different way and your own preference. You just got used to what Mate 20 Pro was producing and thats fine, but if you want to shoot pics without any filters like in 2019. then consider Xperia 1 VI.

In my country a lot of user reported severe issues with the display (dead pixels, green screen). I would avoid to buy this phone without official warranty.

You sounded like you are accusing me of being a "fanboy" or something. Perhaps, you need to be a bit more respectful and stick to what is the main subject.

I don't do gaming, streaming, vlogging, etc. Having a Pixel 8 and a Galaxy S23 previously i need something with similar or slightly bigger display, slightly better speaker output, better everyday performance and better battery life.
Based on what i've seen GSM Arena an Iphone 16 and a Pixel 9 offer most of what I want. AI is important to me but if it helps me with magic eraser or note taking or visual assistance i'm more than happy.

But since there's no competition among i-devices, you are pretty much stuck with what they give you.

Anonymous, 22 Mar 2025You just described Pixel 9 Pro, go for it..How about a Pixel 9 Pro vs an iPhone 16 Plus?
Is it true that with iOS things such as log-ins, signing-ins, settings, app loading, etc. are much better, more faster and more optimized than an Android device thinking about the current iPhone 16 line-up and Pixel 9 series ?

Drax, 11 Mar 2025I was thinking to get a pixel - due to the small size.
But... moreSo what makes you think Koreans are better?
US, KO, CH... none of them are better, except they only have different agenda for "themselves" not that they actually care about their citizens, it's all the same, brother.
You probably don't know much about their culture much, do you?
Don't make your decision based on stupidity such as pol1tics, make decision based on what you truly like.
