I'm quite excited about the launch of this, though it will be interesting to see weather the rumoured dimensions are actually true.
Also no mention of the weight, but if less then 180g or so, and smaller then the 7/7a I will probably buy one, but I fear it will be closer to 200g

People love to complain about the wrong "problems". 24W wired charging is fine, but "everyone" wants race cars where they need not be. You can charge 50% of this ~4500mAh battery (~2250mAh equivalent) in a little over 20 minutes, only the rest may be slow and take up to an hour and a half in total. Blame that on the fact that a phone like this needs an enormous battery to have decent battery life, and not that the charging is "slow".
Blame it on ARM's incompetent ARMv9 core designs of the last few years, on Samsung's foundry being a generation behind TSMC (not an enormous gap as people think, tho, unless we're talking about 3nm which is an Apple-TSMC exclusive thing atm and will only matter for rich US consumers for a good while), on Google choosing Samsung as their silicon partners instead of Mediatek (who knows...), on Qualcomm having a stranglehold on every other company's progress in creating decent modems (except Apple, of course), on the bloated Android OS and its nasty (historical) Java reliance, on the Google Play layer bundled in every Android phone, on the incompetently developed apps we use (that spy on you and do all other dumb things besides just working and doing what they're seemingly supposed to, wasting your battery in the process).
Every little one of these factors will amount to an Android phone NEEDING an enormous battery, thus needing fast charging to satisfy nerds like us. Guess which one is so faster and cheaper to solve that every chinese phone maker did solve?
Google is taking the other, harder route (and failing very, very hard, at least today). Their fans (me fr!) can only hope next chip designs and fabrication will be better, but as you've seen, it's not only their problem. At least Samsung's 4LPP+ node has a few improvements (allegedly) which is great for the Tensor G3, Google plans on switching to TSMC and the cores ARM revealed this year seem more decent, which will be great for a Tensor G4 or over. Android will keep being a mess tho, that's very unfortunate.

Google I am begging you, why is the charging speed so far behind every single competitor. This is going to be an amazing phone but this is SO embarrassing. This charging speed is on par with phones from 8 years ago. Xiaomi and others can do 10x faster charging with a tiny capacity decline.

Pixel 8 is on par with samsung and iPhone base models. The design is far superior then boring sammy and apples.

A functional desktop mode, more battery life, more RAM, and faster storage should be standard these days.

The exynos ("tensor") is pretty bad as it is, and this device is by no means a heavy duty device.

the big disadvantage of pixel 7 is the lack of normal cooling trottling 40-50% and it is noticeable as the chip does not catch stars from the sky compared to the last dragon, if in 8 pixel will be only graphite film is a failure as for me trottling will remain :( and the performance will add 20-25% + and trottling it will cross it out and will be the same pixel 7 is it spokes?
I would like to see a heat pipe for heat dissipation as on Chinese gadgets in addition to the film pixel 7 in genshin impakt dialed 30+ frames it was surpassed by many people on productivity even dragon gen 1, which is strange.
the new pixel at least 48 will gain to the iPhone with its 60 pixels is still far away unless Google will bring in dlss with its money I think nothing is impossible but this is just a dream thoughts in the ear

Vashta Nerada, 11 Sep 2023No "bro." You're living in the past if you ... moreSo interestingly user phone storage requirements have now started to reduce. There are two reasons for this:
1) We now stream our media (movies, music etc) rather than storing them locally.
2) Fast internet means Cloud Storage is now a viable option. Your Google drive/Google Photos can all be stored off your device. If I login to my Google account on a new device all my images and files show up (but not stored on the device storage).
So for many users 128GB is now plenty of storage.
