What phone do you have, and what'll it take for you to upgrade to Pixel 8? - eviltoast

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.

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

    My Pixel 7 Pro would need to be lost or broken, then the insurance company would need to be unable to replace it with another 7 Pro and give me an 8 Pro for free. That’s the only way I can see myself going from a 7 to an 8.
