IIRC, it was mentioned that the camera bar and sides are in silver for all the phones. I don't recall any of the impressions saying they have a colored tint to match the color of the phone.
Got a tip for us?

Part of me wishes I got bay, but at the same time I know that I will enjoy the black phone for sure.
Question is, do I bother with a case, or go naked™ ? Hate to say it but resale value on Pixels is trash (which really sucks given how nice they are), so why should I keep it pristine for the next person that is getting a heck of a deal on a premium phone?

Yeah more I see of both online, the porcelain looks classy and high-end and sort of has the grey Jedi look that Ahsoka wore LOL.
And the blue looks happy, fresh and different, and blue is my fav color, not necessarily light blue, I like dark blue, but worried a blue phone might get old looking or wear out it's cool factor, where white is classic.
Another member of the naked natural titanium club here as well.Yep same here! Love the color combo!
OK, doesn't sound quite right when you say it out loud. 🤣🤣
I do have a rugged Rokform case for when I ride my bike or motorcycle but, feels far more comfortable to use without a case vs. previous generations so going naked for the time being. Well, mostly as I have a tempered glass front screen protector and these camera lens protectors as well as AppleCare+. 😉

It is a very nice color (Bay), and I'd have got that too if it was available for the P8,..I'd have also went with Porcelain if it was available......but I am glad the P8 colors are blah. This way I am free to pick any case I like, more options, though I'm finding slim Pickens right now lol.
Last year I got the Lemongrass and I love it so much I want to look at it everyday but went with a clear case and it yellowed something terrible. I have a Lemongrass Google case on it now.
I am going to miss not having this color but the phone imo isnt a good as my 4a was.
Hoping the P8 is much better. ....as in a working finger print sensor and a couple of the sites i go to don't freeze up like they always do on this phone.
Didn't have these issues on the 4a.

You bring up a good argument as to why take care of the phone for the next buyer who gets the phone at a great price. And really, the only 2 requi from Google are, does the phone have a cracked screen and does it turn on?
However one of the reasons why I jumped on the 8 Pro was because of the promised 7 years support. So I really do plan on sitting it out the next few years just because of that.. So I plan on keeping my 8 Pro looking nice until it’s time to trade it in a few years down the line.
Last year the trade in values were much better, no question. But I have noted that trade in values are typically better when you are trading within the same brand with the exception of Apple and that is only because Google would love to gain more Apple customers.
Wise words and brilliant thinking! No way I will be hard on the device, I like to keep my items clean and well cared for. Personally I find myself far more careful with a device when I dont have a case, but should also factor in accidents and super long term ownership.
In the hype, I forgot part of why I went pro, and am getting the 8 is because of the projected lifetime. H happily ran my pixel 3 for years as my sole Android phone all because of the perks. I still hold onto it due to unlimited (yet compressed) Google photos, and the fact that the device is just so nice to hold.
Received my Phone/Watch dispatch email!
DPD hasn’t changed for me either. Tracking on Google says awaiting Carrier Pickup so hopefully should see movement throughout the day.

No movevent on my side yet either, UK delivery. Still 'Preparing to Dispatch' on the Googke store order. This is normal procedure, we should all see dispatch emails during today from Google. Possibly some on Wednesday too.
Also have a dispatch from Google. But no further update in DPD app.
Which doesn’t really make sense, as surely if it’s shipped it means it’s with the carrier for delivery?
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 😜

I've accepted we won't be getting an early delivery now, I think. 😆
It was a video i saw on Youtube so I have no idea on settings or even how the person got the Pixel early. From what I can see, some shots are better on the iPhone and there really isn’t a lot in it. IF this is indeed accurate and it’s not someone trolling, then the iPhone and Pixel are very close when it comes to photos (Tho i do prefer most night shots on the iPhone).
