The main camera is excellent but has some flaws as well.
Software seemed to be buggy here and there, I don`t think it will get better over time, look at the Pixel 7 Pro thread. More likely bugs will get worse...

In Czechia the S24U is 400EUR more expensive than the Pixel 8 Pro, for the base models.
Of course, the S24U is more powerful, but the software experience (especially in time), I think is better on Pixel. Google squeeze's everything from Tensor chipset, while Samsung just puts best of the best on Ultra models and then good luck with the software optimization. It could be ok now, but I am not sure how it will look after 2-3 OS updates.

I sent my Pixel 8 Pro back after two weeks because of the following reasons:
- food pics and selfies look incredibly bland and pale/lifeless, horrible experience
- in Teams or Zoom calls Autofocus was not working properly, the camera was switching between my face and the background once every second
- asides of that the quality of the selfie camera is pretty mediocre in general, I saw phones for half the price doing much better
- after work I couldn't use my phone because the battery was below 20%
- charging from 20% to 100% took over an hour
Those things are hard to accept for a 600$ phone. The Pixel 8 Pro costs 1300$ for the 512 GB version, absolutely unacceptable. In that price range I expect a smartphone that is nearly perfect.
It's not that I hated everything about the 8 Pro. I absolutely loved the OS, the security features and usability. Loved the Buds Pro too, in combination with this phone it's a dream. Main camera was excellent as well (as long as you don't want to shoot food pics lol). But, the competition in that price range is just too good. Now I`m stuck with my old phone again and will look for a S24 Ultra or S24+.

karim salah, 14 Jan 2024Iam planning to buy it
Can a real owner of the device tell... moreI have my 8 Pro since December 1st! I can tell you this is the best Pixel to date google has ever made! Better than Iphone and samsung flagships in many ways.. for me it's Camera, Design and especially its Software wins over anything... I have never had any issues with it so far!
No network issues
but i use 4g mostly 5g sometimes when needed.
No over heating issues ( had once when i was setting it up for first time)
after that i never had any heating honestly
No fingerprint issues
No hiccups or lags or anything
First thing you are going to love is super actua flat display. It super bright and colourful. The design is the best of any smartphone for me. Battery life is excellent too. It gives me 7-8 hrs constantly. The Speakers are a big step up from Pixel 7 Pro. Much more bass and sound great if you are a music lover. It can run games easily for certain period of time (30 mins or 1hr) which 95% of the user do. The maximum time i played games on my Pixel are like 1hr 30 mins. It does get bit warm but no lag and works completely fine! but if you are heavy gamer like playing for more than 2hrs, Pixel might not be for you!!! Assuming, it will decrease the performance! I would say, Only gaming phones are better for heavy gamers.
Camera for point and shoot is incredible. I love every shot i take with Pixel, its super natural and colours are pleasing to my eyes. Video is another area where Pixel really improved with 8 Pro. I love Cinematic Pan recording mode. Daytime videos are excellent, in some senario it matches iphone.. Only slight gripe is lens switching is not smooth in video but better than 7 Pro.
Another gripe for me is, if you want best of the best night or low light video, you will have to upload every video to the cloud server for video boost .. It takes quite time wish it was only 5mins wait but anyway trust me the results are astonishing . It beats my friends Iphone in videography at night.
I don't know why some people have negative views about this phone. i understand exynos has had bad reputation so now google working with samsung, they relate the tensor to exynos thats why it gets the hate which i think is odd! considering tensor is not exynos. Anyway, my experience has been amazing. I am loving every bit of it especially the design n blue colour is so amazing to look at! Hope this all helps!

It's convenient but it should've been a choice, not mandatory, smartphone makers knew that would've yielded less profits so they removed the jack to further make 3.5mm inconvenient. Predatory. Also, two things, I don't think my phone is getting slow due to updates, like this phone gets hot af a lot, maybe that deteriorated the silicon a little.

It's called programmed obsolesence. Phones can only update 3 OS versions before they begin to get slow. This cripples ios devices.
Excepting custom roms, because that's the people's honest work and not slimy manufacturers trying to make you update.
