Google Pixel 8 Pro has a title of the best Pixel ever made, noting the company’s vision of mobile technology’s future.
The phone has excellent display, larger and brighter than at similar price range competitors, and unprecedented photography capabilities improved by Google’s machine learning.
Its vision sometimes becomes blurry or unfocused, but AI features span from cool and useful to sometimes quite weird and off-putting.
Google’s commitment to the seven years of updates for the Pixel 8 Pro is unmatched in industry.
The Pros include the fact that the refreshed design has fantastic materials, and natural and useful call screening, but the above commitment is unprecedented for Google.
The cons noted are Android settings which are challenging to navigate, some “creepy” AI features and the fact that the cameras often need editing for iPhone-level results.
The launch price of the Pixel 8 Pro was $999, but it can now be purchased on Amazon for a price already reduced from the launch price.
As Google promised seven years of major OS upgrades and updates, the Pixel 8 Pro seems like a long-term investment with potential retainment of value.
