My order has changed to "prepared to ship". I hope to have it tomorrow and that would be 8 days early.

This face unlock + fingerprint scanner combo is a game changer.
Pixel 8 Pro Review: Not the Google Phone I Hoped It Would Be
After a rocky start, Google's flagship phone offers plenty, but it's the long-term support that stands out.

As expected
His channel, his take, so he can talk and review how he likes. Based off how many subscribers he has, I would say his take is more important and blankets a larger population than your take.

The Verge saw screen dimming pretty frequently from overheating. They also had issues with the Tensor chip overheating and refusing to take video.
They didn’t lie though. The DNG raw files look horrible. DPReview also saw the raw files having no latitude in post compared to ProRaw or ExpertRAW on both iPhone and Galaxy.
I don’t think Google can really win the camera game until they have chips up to the task. The inaccurate live preview in the camera app and slow post processing ruins the camera experience.

I’ve never had a bad camera experience with my Pixels…I tend to go by my case usage …it’s nice to see plenty of reviews but end of day most folks will be plenty happy with the phone …

Google wins the camera game pretty much every year. There’s still not a smart phone camera that beats it for point and shoot

How do you know this if you haven’t used the Pixel Pro 8 🤷🏻♂️

Google cameras are underexposed and too cold in temperature. The Night Sight capability is worse than competitors now.

Not sure why you are posting one example here to somebody who has the 7 pro and 15 pro max.
It’s easy to point to one example to why one does better than the other and that example doesn’t look like pixel activated night mode
.
Here pixel does better
I would say iPhone and pixel are on par for night mode. Dunno how 8 pro is until I test it

I'm a huge fan of his channel. Been following him for 10 years. I just don't really care about the camera being the main focus of 75% of the video. That's my comment and nothing more.

Face unlock with biometric is definitely a game changer for the 8 Pro. Not since Soli and the 4XL has face unlock been as good. I'm very impressed, especially in low light conditions.

My iPhones screen dim like crazy. Granted I live in Texas, but impossible to use outside and not have dimming. (At least that is my experience)

Depends on the app. Here in the UK the Starling banking app opens immediately on detecting your face - just like on the iPhone, but slightly faster. The NatWest/RBS app detects your face, but then you need to tap an OK button before it allows you to get into the app. I would imagine many apps will support it like Starling pretty quickly. IMO it's a major step forward. Google has implemented security that banks can accept without the bulky hardware Apple requires.

“Low light is typically the area I examine meticulously because it's where I often see disparities. While the Pixel 8 Pro handles low light with ease, I'm almost shocked by how its rivals are pushing low light photography even farther. The Pixel 8 Pro's low light performance underwhelms with its underexposed look and softer details. You can see how the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S23 Ultra produce brighter and more detailed images.”
