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 6 Pro

Need my current battery to go to shit, then I’ll upgrade. The only thing newer phones tend to get is incremental camera upgrades, so I’m not in a rush to drop another $600-1000+

Do you use a screen protector? My 7’s has been significantly better than my 6’s

It may be better than a 6, but it’s terrible compared to a 5.

Glad I’m not the only one that loved my Pixel 5!

Still sucks compared to a normal fingerprint reader. My S10 would work almost under any condition. My Pixel 7 will consistently fail 40-50% of the times. I end up typing the PIN more often then not.

Pixel 3

I am a die hard corded head phone user, so I am hoping some options will open up for next year’s models. Not going to hold my breath though.

galaxy S23 ultra and it would need to somehow read my mind or blow me. I was happy with my s10+ and i didn’t see a reason to upgrade then so it’s gonna need to do something pretty insane for me to change.
