justasmile, 22 Oct 2023Source for the info of no VC?I've seen that video on youtube where someone opened up the pixel 8 pro.
On other note, why is GSM arena taking so long to put a final review for the pixel 8 and 8pro. Are they hiding something? I thought the review embargo was lifted. Are they awaiting the latest firmware?

Pretty good specs, but the overheating complaints I'm hearing about don't sound good

Yong Farlight84, 20 Oct 20231h 30min 0-100% charging. Google you can do better. Waitin... moreIn fact, you can do 59 mins of charging to 100% with the same wattages. Just take a look at 33w pro charging.

Yong Farlight84, 21 Oct 2023Pixel 8 pro it has got no VC heat chamber for cooling. Wait... moreThis not the reason why Pixel 8 pro throttling the mean reason why pixel throttle is that data encrypted by default same as iPhone try to encrypt data on other android phone with VC and you'll see how's the phone lags and throttling fast.

I have Pixel 8 Pro since last week and i did not experience any overheating issues like some people here complain i think many of those who complain here does not have the phone at all and it is not good too complain if you dont have the phone after one week of use this is by far the best experience i have hade in a long time battery life on the Pixel 8Pro is actually very good camera performance is also top notch and the software is good enough optimize their may some smale issues here and their but that will be fixed in future updates .

Again, Google skipped a vapor chamber, that is the reason for the heating or throttle of the phone, even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 heats and throttle a lot if there isn't an adequate cooling (Z Flip 5)

Vegeto36, 20 Oct 2023You are absolutely right.The phone is like a godamn hand he... morePixel 8 pro it has got no VC heat chamber for cooling. Waiting until Google starts incorporating VC chamber for cooling next year. You cannot just relay on graphite tape to cool a $1k smartphone device. Too many corners cut.

For those of you who own a Google Pixel, I know Pixel doesn't has a good cleaning app like Samsung Devices Care, download CCleaner, it's a life changer it takes care of, Cache, storage and Memory........

The phone works great looks great but it's just unbearable warm .I have a feeling that have some sensor to make my hands warm bcs as soon as I touch if it is getting very warm and after a cold Samsung phone is makes me pretty annoyed. Phone is defect and it's not worthy of your money.Just buy Samsung or iPhone if you want a good phone bcs google is a BIG disappointment yo me.

Yong Farlight84, 20 Oct 20231h 30min 0-100% charging. Google you can do better. Waitin... moreI don't think most people know that, but there's charging curves. By design it will throttle the charge for the last 10% to 20%, that's for improved battery longevity as lithium batteries prefer a range of roughly 30% to 70%. Even Apple does it. But somehow no one complains there...? Maybe for people who treat their phone like a throwaway device, an option to disable that might be "good". 79 minutes for a full charge, mere 47 if you call it a day at 80% (again, assuming 0%). Perfectly normal.

Anonymous, 18 Oct 2023Really poor specs for the price, only UFS 3.1 storage and 1... moreWe get it, it's UFS 3.1 instead of 4. Makes practically no difference in actual usage, but whatever, even if it seems like a bit of jab at top end pricing. But can we please stop this silly trend of "my phone needs to charge as fast as a copper wire can possibly deliver before melting"? Honestly, anyone who needs to top up their phone THAT quickly needs to clean up their running apps or should carry a power bank. I've used 21W thus far and that's plenty fast for anything in a 4000 to 5000 mAh range. Are you guys running from internet cafe to internet cafe all-day long while gaming on the go or filming it all in 4K? I am actually curious what use demands such high voltages/short charging cycles. It takes roughly 30min for a 50% charge. I don't get how that isn't enough, let alone anywhere near slow.

Honestly and i dont want to be rude i really appreciate google try but my Motorola Edge 40 pro for 789 bucks cost way less and does way more tricks apart maybe the updates.
But phone works perfectly and at least i am not bothered by updating like with samsung or google every week or so.
Now the said phone cost even less.
Soon Oneplus 12 will be available for sale and it will be best phone money can buy. This google pixel 8 pro will wither in sandstorm and will ahve its space in history books but apart from that nothing impressive becasue many other companies makes a lot better things for same or even cheaper price.
Google is nothing but a brand name.
Like anyone is interested in phone which can charge from flat to 100% in like 2 hours or so.
No thanks. My Moto Edge 40 pro can charge within 15-20 minutes and i wouldnt go to anything slover no matter what plus nice 100 in accesories in box.
Google is not impressive anymore.
I wouldnt keep my phone for 5 or more years just because updates are still available but every 2 years i would like to have something new from my network carrier and sell my old phone when it have value. In like 5 years this google ouixel will be worth maybe 50 or 100 and noone will buy outdated device with outdated hardware unable to run new apps, games and many else.

Bogdaan, 18 Oct 2023I really considered to buy it, but UFS 3.1, not the latest ... moreThere is probably 1-2% of all smartphone users who uses their devices more than 5 years as their daily driver.
