Google's Pixel phones are great, especially the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. But they're also facing serious problems that are hard to overlook.
Almost every single review of the Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro talks about how these two take us to the promised land of AI nirvana on smartphones. Google Assistant screening calls for you? Check. More intelligent smart reply suggestions? Of course, my lazy soul deserves that convenience. Enhanced zoom that relies on pixel-level image reconstruction to de-haze blurry edges? My Instagram dump would love that.
Thanks to the new Qualcomm chip inside and the new HyperOS software, the Xiaomi device offers AI-aligned perks like speech generation, an article summarization trick that transcribes video calls into notes and makes short summaries, AI image generation, text-to-slide creation, and the ability to turn doodles into artwork. Just like the Xiaomi 14, Honor’s upcoming flagship using the same Qualcomm chip will also be able to natively run foundation generative AI models on smartphones.
Even the aging rivals rank up Seven years of OS updates, you say? It’s great. But is there an assurance that all the new software experiences that Google develops in the coming years will run on your aging Pixel 8 in 2029? Almost certainly not. Look no further than the Pixel 8, which can’t pull every trick that the Pixel 8 Pro can. And then there’s the wide feature gulf you see between the Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 generation. I won’t dig further into the past, but you get the idea of where I’m going.
Previous Next 1 of 8 There are actual Pixel 8 series users complaining, once again, about the bad antenna on the Google phones — resulting in bad network reception. One user ran a test using an Android app and found the latest Pixel delivering sub-par network reception results. That’s a basic trait, and a phone must get it right. After all, we buy a phone to be able to make calls.
At demanding tests like the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme simulation, the Tensor G3 was in the same class as the two-generations-old Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Apple’s A15 Bionic chips. On GFXBench Aztec running at 1440p in offscreen mode, it once again returns lower numbers compared to the aforementioned Qualcomm and Apple processors and even falls behind MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000.
