In the low light video from main cam, there are some spot lights in the dark sky: is it a flare issue?

The Google Pixel 8 Pro shines with its exceptional camera, clean Android experience, and impressive battery life. It's a reliable choice for those who value photography and software excellence.

I hope that they can improve the periscope camera for the Pixel 9 Pro. The periscope camera of the 8 Pro has an effective lens diameter of 6.4mm whereas the 7 Pro has 5.4mm. Therefore, the 8 Pro periscope camera suffers less from diffraction, but the focal length is lower (18mm vs 19mm), so distant objects consist of fewer megapixels. Furthermore, the dng files look hazy, possibly due to the low f-number (and there is the issue with the strange noise). When I compared periscope camera raw files from the 8 Pro and 7 Pro in a store, the 8 Pro periscope camera raw files had about the same level of detail at 15x + Night Sight.
They need to go back to 19mm and/or use a Quad Bayer sensor with smaller pixels than 0.7 micrometer and need to make sure that the quality of the lens is high. It would be really nice to see a periscope camera that is noticeably better than my 7 Pro at 15x + Night Sight.

A strange distribution of noise in comparison to my Pixel 7 Pro (for example the periscope camera at 15x + Night Sight). This seems to be a bug and if they should fix this in the future, a fix won't repair the previous dng files.

I was able to test the Pixel 8 Pro camera in a store:
-Just like the Pixel 7 Pro, the 8 Pro often uses data from the periscope camera in order to improve the jpg image quality at 3x. But if you choose 50 megapixels or if you choose manual camera selection, then it doesn't seem to use data from the periscope camera at 3x.
-When you choose the manual camera selection in 12(!) megapixel mode, then in low light conditions it will still refuse to choose the "2x" camera (1.2 micrometer pixels) at 2x and probably it would also refuse to use the "10x" camera (0.7 micrometer pixels) in low light conditions. But it seems to use 1.2 micrometers and 0.7 micrometers in low light conditions, if you choose 50 megapixels.

Pixel 8Pro HDR up to 4K30fps... Xperia 1V HLG (>2300nit) HDR up to 4K120fps XD XD

I really hoped Pixel 8 Pro would be bit better than it actually is and compared to 7 Pro i just don't know if i would spend the cash on the 8 Pro, when i can get better (subjective in many ways) for less money.

The clickbait bias here is pretty bad. Lets point out some facts.
GSM arena says the iphone 15 pro battery life is good when it gets almost 12% worse battery endurance than both pixels from this year and last year.
GSM arena says that charging is behind the curve yet its not that far off the "super fast charging" phones without damaging the battery. 1 hour to full vs 1 hour 30 to full is completely acceptable considering iphone's still take for ever.
The S23 Ultra does not cost the same as an 8 Pro. 1300$ vs 1000$ is not even close.
The "Competition" cannot compete in camera's, AI, speech recognition, and just about everything except "battery" and "charging speed". And that is supposed to be worth spending 300$ more? I can get more features on the 700$ Pixel 8.
The tensor G3 matches some of the slower clocked SD 8 Gen 2 Chips. The overclocked, heat producing "made for samsung" verisons require a phone that is almost an inch larger to keep it in check, is it worth it? And besides, why not apply that same bias to Samsung for not matching the iphone 13, 14, or 15 pro lol.
Either way, the cognitive dissonance is bad in this one. Please get a better editor.

I would love to see the S23 ultra with light performance profile battery life test. Really want to know with the gsmarena battery test specifically. That's all I go off.

The Underdog, 31 Oct 2023A terrible device for the price. Substandard chipset, poor ... moreBattery life has been great, I end most days with moderate use with over 30% easy.. better than I was expecting. Knock on wood it remains that way

Dgg, 30 Oct 2023A bit dissapointing. Poor chip and battery life. And price... moreDear, we don't care about Antutu points, UFS... More powerful cpu/gpu is useless...
Today, especially, flagship smartphone is more based ln photo quality during day/night.
Display and battery. Speed charging.
I'm not care about 5% in Antutu... or UFS...
Please stop talking about things that no one see...
It's like say , the display is fantanstic...
ALL smartphones have OLED... Delta < 3...
So even, I wouldn't talk about it in test and add it into positives points...
Meanwhile, battery consumption wasn't optimized... Useless techno LTPO in this case.

90h is endurance rating, not battery life.

People buy Pixel for the cameras and nothing else. The vanilla Android is worse and more battery-consuming than many other customizations. So the chipset does not really matter.
