Temperature Sensor would be great for checking food when out: burger meat temp at least 160*F? is that potato salad at the picnic cold enough?
😮 Can a battery last 7 years for all the updates? 😊
do we really need brighter screens?
So, will Google Pixel 7 series phone operating system receive the same 7-year update ?
I am just wondering how accurate the temp sensor would be when the phone heats up.
Does it come with USB-C? Oh wait …. nvm.
Eh yo! Slip in that OF link in the description below!
I'm ready to use this on my Turkey next month! 😅
$100 price bump is worth it for a phone that is feature pack and will update for 7 years
Does it have a PC mode like Ready For (Moto) or DeX(Samsung)?
Whoever decided to put chrome on the pro model is a moron.
Stupid phone
Can't wait for camera tests of this phone
Temperature sensor sounds infrared camera to me, which is actually more attractive as a gimmick.
More innovation than Apple can even imagine
If G3 have solved G2 issues like overheating and battery life, 100% will get pixel 8 series!
pre order one because my iPhone 12 Pro worth $750 trade in value.
To me, the pixel 8s looks slightly better than the 8 pros
Trade in value for Pixel 7 (325$) is a slap in the face to current Pixel holders, looks like Google values more the old Iphone phones then last year's pixel models! Google is telling you that pixel are peace of crap and resale value is close to nothing after just one year. Today i've made a choice to sell my super buggy Pixel 7, Iphone- here i come!
For me, the most tempting feature is the extended software support.
Its a spyware phone, its gonna record your temperature gonna see your videos in the name of "video booster" and sell your data to companies
The design is still ugly. Android has poor app development.
My biggest concern is battery life, period!.
I love the way that Google has come up with real world uses for the cell phone. Anyone with a young kid trying to gauge the temperature on the bottle or someone like me that's dealing with liquids and experiments all the time. This is going to be a great tool to use. Bravo Google!
Ugh where they find these ppl smh
I am sitting here just pissed off google still doesn't have a small pro device these phablets are horrible! I went from a 7 pro to regular 8 because I cant stand these huge phones I am pissed I have to sacrifice features just because I dont want a tablet in my pocket
I love nice stuff like the temperature sensor—it’s not necessarily a “needed” feature, but it’s one of those things that can get sincerely handy, especially once they get clearance to read human temps. Thermometers aren’t usually in pocket like your phone is; it could be nice in case your child starts feeling under the weather while you’re out somewhere.
Hopefully this is well-received and we can start getting more little features (fingers crossed for IR blaster).
I love the flat screen on the Pixels. They, in my opinion, look a lot better than curved. And this is coming from someone who was once a curved screen truther. I always felt the Pixel 6 and 7 were too slick because of the curved screen, and screen protectors were a pain to install.
Overall, aesthetically, I think this looks like the best Pixel to date. Now, we still gotta see how it works in the hands of consumers, given the Tensor chip’s sometimes wonky performance, with overheating, modem issues etc. Hopefully G3 performs a lot better. I’ll definitely be interested in getting a 8 Pro.
You forgot pixel enhancement & video booster at the end!
I thought I’m watching onlyfans
need the pixel 8 to succeed, so Apple will actually innovate
Is the front glass on the pixel 8 pro curved like the pixel 7 pro?
As a handyman and parent I was actually excited for the temp sensor. There are many times that I am troubleshooting something and wish I could verify the temp read outs I am seeing without having to track down my other tool bag for a thermal imager or temp gun (its always in the other tool bag, lol) . And once it's approved for forehead temp checks it will be so easy to check my kid for a fever. Not gonna lie though would have been awesome if it was lidar for 3d scanning.
Pro looks awesome, but it's too big for me
If Apple made a phone with a thermometer, you would be like "OMG"!
I wondered if you can use the thermometer to check how hot the phone is getting because if it's anything like the last model on the 7 pro it's going to need it. I've always loved my pixels but once I got the s23 ultra I have basically had my pixel 7 pro sitting in my drawer in my bedroom it's almost unusable
Tempreture sensor is just a waste money to justify the price bump of an extra 100$
100 $ more this year and 125 $ less trade in on pixel 7 then last year.. so pixel this year is 225 $ more expensive then last year pre order.. Google can stick new Pixel up it …!
I'm on the fence between the 8 and the 8 Pro. I have the 7 Pro and honestly I rarely use the telephoto lens. I prefer normal, macro and wide angle and now the 8 supports macro. Plus it's more compact, whichever model I get, it will be with 256 GB. Forgot to mention I have both Pixel buds series and I have no use for the watch. So I may wait and see if on Black Friday or a bit later the price drops. Thanks!
A temperature sensor on a Pixel phone is super ironic 💀
More pratically usable features for the masses , unlike iphones only focusing on "Professionals"
I'm on the Pixel Fold right now, so this new Pixel 8 Pro will give me an idea what the Pixel Fold 2 may look like next year. 🙂
