I have a Pixel 7 Pro, but for me it’s a few things.

  • Improved modem
  • Increased battery life
  • Better thermals
  • SoC upgrade to 3nm process
  • Improved camera
  • Good deal or free stuff (e.g. free Pixel Watch 2, high Pixel 7 Pro trade in value)

What phone do you have and why might you want to upgrade to the Pixel 8?

Pixel 5 here:

  • 20-30% more battery life than the P5 when it was new (my P5 battery life is still very good like 90%-95% of when it was new). But I don’t want to have the excellent battery life I had in 2020. I want something better.
  • Lower price than the P8 (so I’ll wait for a discount if I upgrade to that one).
  • Better ambient light sensor in low light. Not the crap we have in the P5.

The rest (more years of updates. Than just 3 years) is already confirmed. A smaller size would be nicer. But the P8 size seems good.

In general I like the P8. But I’m still enjoying the P5 so I’m not hurried.

Only if every other phone maker on the planet was out of business.

SD card slot and headphones jack. And an affordable price.

Rocking a Galaxy S9+. Google’s going to have to release it, and have it be better than the 7. That’s it.
