The pixel 8 pro what's new here and could this be the flagship you should be
looking out for I'm will for GSM Marina and let's find out in our pixel 8 pro
Review the Google pixel phones are quite
Design and build well known for their stock andro software experience powerful cameras and AI-based features the new pixel 8 pro brings some nice updates including a new super actua display an improved chipset and extended software support the camera system has been revamped too with some new lenses and a new Ultra wide cam design-wise the biggest change is that the pixel 8 pro's display is flat not curved either type of screen may have its advantages but many prefer a flat one that's more immune to Accidental touches.
Besides that, the design is similar to the previous generation with an aluminum frame and glass bag featuring a visor-like camera bump the back has a matte finish and the visor and frame are glossy on the pro model that's the inverse of what you get on the vanilla.
Pixel 8 with its glossy back and matte frame the pixel 8 Pro has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protecting both the front and back as well as ip68-rated dust and
Water resistance like I mentioned Google calls Screen specs and features.
The 8 Pro new screen is a super actual display it's a 6.7 lipo OLED with a 120 HZ refresh rate with a pixel density of 489 PPI this display is quite sharp and compared to last year Google has trimmed down the bezels here the colors can be quite accurate as well and their support for HDR 10 plus video the pixel 8 pro's display brightness is impressive we maxed out at around 950 nits with a manual slider and this boosted to 1,600 nits in auto mode when exposed to Bright Light that's even better than the vanilla model which is also one of the brightest phones around this displays refresh rate is quite adaptive to save energy you get that smooth 120 has when interacting with the phone and swiping and it will dial down as low as 1 Herz when idling the pixel 8 pro has a pair of
Stereo speakers.
Stereo speakers have good loudness the sound quality is great as well
balanced with some base clear vocals and nice treble you can hear for
yourself with the provided link the Under-display fingerprint reader.
pixel 8 pro has an under-display fingerprint reader for Biometrics and it seems even faster and more accurate than last year's and there is plenty of storage.
Storage options
Options 128 256 or 512 gigs or a whole terabyte on board that's not expandable through micro SD through the Google
Android 14 and UI
Pixels are the first phones to come out with the new Android 14 out of the box
and here you get the pure Android experience exactly as Google intended cosmetically Android 14 is the same.
But it brings some new features like a more customizable lock screen you can also create your own unique wallpapers with plenty of styles words and colors to
work with in addition to a regional language Android 14 gives you the option to choose a different measurement system and date format Android 14 also supports 10bit
HDR images and lossless audio with wired headphones and privacy have been improved for example when sending images to someone the app will have access to your whole Gallery like before now let's talk AI-based features about the pixel's own AI-based features keep in mind that some of these are region specific and won't work.
Everywhere the live translate feature is even faster now its interpreter mode can
translate a conversation in real time between two people if that language is supported by the call screening feature.
where the Google Assistant can take a call for you or transcribe rooc call options is also better and faster this year thanks to the pixels AI you can easily extract text from apps or even images there's a new more powerful magic
editor within the photos app it offers.
Advanced functions like removing objects from the photo and changing the sky a feature unique to the pixel 8 Pro Build-in thermometer (sensor) is a thermometer thanks to a new temperature sensor located next to the cameras it doesn't do much at the moment because it's not very accurate to begin
but maybe we'll see new uses for it down the line and last but definitely not least.
Google promises both OS and security updates for the next 7 years on the new
pixels that's more than any other.
Google Tensor G3 performance manufacturer the Pixel 8 Pro comes with Google's 4 nanom tensor G3 chipset just like you get on the vanilla Pixel 8
compared to the previous tensor chip there's a new graphics processor a new
ISP and a new TPU that handles the AI-related tasks in benchmarks the pixel 8 Pro was clearly more powerful than last year's model both in CPU and Graphics
tasks and as you'd expect the numbers are about the same as on the regular pixel 8 these numbers are far from class leading though competitors running on a Snapdragon hn2 handily outperform the pixels which are more on par with last year's flagships the pixel 8 Pro brings more than enough power for your everyday use.
But if you're looking for a phone optimized for heavy gaming this may not
be the best choice this point is driven home even.
Thermals chart further when looking at the phone's lackluster thermal management there was significant thermal throttling during our prolonged stress test with plenty of dips and spikes even the compact vanilla model did a better job here the pixel 8.
Battery endurance and charging test Pro has a 5,50 mAh battery and the
battery life here is okay but falls behind its relevant competitors with an overall endurance rating of just 90 hours the charging speed also isn't very exciting with Google's official 30 W charger we were able to top up the pixel8 pro from 0 to 53% in half an hour a full charge took an hour and 23 minutes there's also support for wireless charging.
Now we have the camera there's Camera specs a 50 map main cam a 48 map 5 times telephoto zoom and a 48 map Ultra-wide camera there are a few upgrades here both the main Cam and telephoto cam have new lenses with wider apertures and the ultra-wide is all new because of pixel Main camera: photo and video quality binning the main cam produces 12.5 megap photos and they're excellent there's a lot of detail and while there is some extra sharpening the rendition is still more pleasant than many arrivals the look is overall contrasty with slightly.
Dark Shadows and you get a Dependable white balance and likable colour
saturation unlike the Pixel 8 the 8 Pro allows you to take photos at the camera's full 50 mega resolution these shots can come out with some extra
detail at the expense of a larger file.
size there's a two-times digital zoom on the viewfinder and these are pretty
decent intricate details like foliage may come out a bit soft but in general
the scenes look pretty good portraits come out at two times Zoom by default with good lighting you get a sharp detailed subject The Edge detection isn't infallible
though in low light conditions, the main cam takes excellent photos with the help of night mode processing they have a very nicely balanced exposure with well
preserved highlights and just the right amount of boost in the shadows the
colors are well saturated and the white balance is Dependable detail is
generally very good though the pixel's noise reduction would sometimes wipe out
the detail in certain textures like asphalt if you disable night mode darker scenes may come out underexposed better lit scenes won't be as bad without a big
difference compared to the night mode shots of 4K videos from the main camera
look great with plenty of detail and nice dynamic range and color saturation video stabilization is very good at smoothing out the footage too at night the main cam captures good detail in his videos and there's a wide dynamic range and nice color saturation.
5X zoom camera: photo and video quality next we have the five times telephoto
Zoom is one of the main advantages the Ed Pro has over the vanilla model these
zoomed shots are nicely sharp with great detail and definition the new Optics
appear to make a nice improvement over last year's 7 Pro the telephoto cam
doesn't mind shooting in darkness and with night mode active the shots come
out great with low noise and nice tonal development the five times telephoto
produces excellent footage with nice detail great colors good exposure and
wide dynamic range.
Ultrawide camera: photo and video quality the upgraded Ultra wide on the Pixel 8 Pro captures excellent photos the detail is great sharpness is preserved almost all the way to the extreme Corners dynamic range and colours are
also good since the ultra-wide has autofocus you can use it to take
close-ups and macro shots look great even sharper and more detailed
than what the vanilla models Ultra wide can manage in low light with a night
mode active the ultra-wide does a good job the highlights are decently
contained Shadows are boosted and colors are well saturated again clearly better than the vanilla model here when it comes to video recording through the
ultra-wide is a mixed bag the detail level is excellent and the dynamic range
is respectable the white balance is clearly off though resulting in an overly warm and yellowish tint.
Selfies are taken with the 10.5 mega front-facing cam which has autofocus
there are two Zoom levels and the phone defaults to the more zoomed-in on the
Selfies have good detail and nice-looking skin tones
Conclusion.
So that's the Pixel 8 Pro it brings a bunch of changes over the previous model
including the flat and extra bright display the new chipset and improvements in the camera's 7 years of software support are really great to have too and
there's a thermometer unfortunately the 8 Pro does fall short of competitors
when it comes to the battery life and his chipset performance also falls behind both when it comes to Raw numbers as well as thermal management still if
you can swallow those shortcomings.
Otherwise the Pixel 8 Pro is a great Flagship camera phone that has a lot to
offer thanks for watching guys if you're Alternatives and selfie video quality
