    Unpopular opinion, Pro models shouldn't mean bigger screen only. I'm so bummed that the Pro modell only comes in 6.7 inch that's going to be so much thumb gymnastics. Google should have released a Pixel Pro 8 as a 6 inch version too (although I really yearn for the times 5.5 inch screens were still a thing)

      Completely agree. I would have bought the 8pro if there was a version of it that was the same size as the base Pixel. I hate large phones and how bulky they feel in my pocket, it's why I downgraded from a S22 Ultra to the S22+
      Maybe next year Google will take a page out of Apple's book and do a Pro/Pro Max type of release

      I like and hate big screen at the same time. Using iPhone 13 pro max as main and Pixel 7 as backup right now. Planning to swap pixel 7 with 8 pro and use it as my main in the future. I do appreciate the smaller screen on Pixel. Super easy to use with one hand. But I feel like I have to place Pixel a bit closer to my eyes than iPhone because of the size. So bigger screen would be beneficial to my health in the long run. But hey, at least on Android system we can go back to previous page by swiping from either side of the edges, so I think I'll manage.

    Got to be honest, the call screening feature was one of my favourite things about the 7 pro.
    We get so many spam callers in the UK, when you opt to "screen my call" and you see that the number hangs up within a couple seconds, you instantly know it's a spam caller.
    On the odd occasion where it has been a delivery driver or a doctor etc, they've always waited until the end of the message and given a proper reply, which I have then answered.
    It's a great feature and I'm surprised to see the scepticism about it in this vid.

    I feel like this time, they actually did a better job of differentiating the 8 Pro from the 8, mainly by camera features alone. From the better ultrawide + telephoto lens to all of the pro controls and Video Boost, there's quite a few software camera tricks that you don't get on the pixel 8 that I'm positive plenty of camera fanatics will pay extra for. Combine that with its better LTPO display, temperature sensor (lol), increased RAM, higher storage options and 7 YEARS of software updates, low-key the 8 Pro is looking like a better long-term investments for lots of people (provided that Tensor G3 improves on the issues that plagued the G2 chip).

      But in addition to what you listed, it's also got Victus 2 glass, +.5 inch screen, better resolution, 400 nits higher screen brightness, slightly faster charging to make up for the extra consumption, and an ultra wide band for more precise location tracking.

    While I didn't want to downgrade my display (my lg v30 was qhd), I got the p7pro primarily so I wouldn't need to carry around a camera.

    Pro tip: if you're a male with a male name, use the male call screening voice. I have 80% more callers staying on the phone and interacting and not immediately hanging up. It's a slight psychological hack - if the caller is expecting to call a dude and a "dude" answers, less alarms bells go off

    I originally ordered the P8 in red and was super excited...then i read an article about how only the pro model was getting video boost and ai zoom. Both of those are done on the cloud, meaning the actual phone isnt doing any heavy lifting...which means that technically the P8 could have done it too. I had to go with the P8Pro, but i think that this was google intentionally gimping a phone just because.

    I'm a Pixel 7 Pro user and the things that most annoy me and that I would like to see improved at Pixel 8 Pro are:
    - the face detection: it doesn't work well in low light since the pixel doesn't have an infrared sensor
    - speakers quality: it's not good, sometimes we can hear a lot of distortion
    - front camera: it could be better, especially in low light

      The call screening option does, or at least used to pop up after a second where the "Accept" button was when I was getting a call and when I first got the phone I kept accidentally activating it.
      Also I try to use the text to speech feature to listen to a WhatsApp voice note when I couldn't have my volume up, it struggled to understand my Dad's Glaswegian accent and then decided he was speaking German.

    Interesting. I've used call screening a few times, mainly when I could take a call but it would be inconvenient (in a quiet room or meeting etc, and though it doesn't transcribe what they with perfect accuracy, it usually gives me enough accuracy to know if it's worth me calling them back) sometimes it's just like Hi this is Mohammed from crypto whatever stocks and I'm like nah thanks, it's genuinely useful and people who really want to get hold of me will definitely often speak to the assistant. One time recently it was a potential new customer so that was useful to do a bit of research on their company name they gave before I called them back. Probably half the time they will leave me a message on there
