Google Pixel 8 Pro unboxing

We already got a first look of both the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, but now we'll focus on an unboxing and a quick look at the Pixel 8 Pro next to the Pixel 8 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 8 Pro ships without a charger in the box - you get a USB-C to USB-A adapter and a USB-C cable.

We got the Bay colorway - it's a nice shade of blue. Pixel phones have been a breath of fresh air in terms of phone colors these past few years, and the Pixel 8 Pro is another step in the right direction.

The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro changed a few things over their predecessors. For one, the corners of the phones are now more rounded, making them a bit smaller. The displays are also flatter - it's really noticeable on the Pro and it's a welcome change for glass protector lovers.

The Google Pixel 8 Pro is noticeably lighter than its similar-sized peers. It's 213g compared with the 221g iPhone 15 Pro Max and the 234g Galaxy S23 Ultra.

By now, performance and battery benchmarks could and should have been added to the hands on review. I can understand camera review taking more time but you’re alteady very late with this phone.

They need google to send updates to fix issues before they review.
