Can't wait to preorder, I'm replacing my scratched pixel 6 pro.
Hope you can tell us about your first impressions then! ๐
Do you know if the Fingerprint sensor been improved since the P6/7?
I looked for it in the leaked specs, but didn't see it mentioned anywhere.
I remember seeing rumors that they finally went with an ultrasonic fp sensor like Samsung uses, but nothing concrete yet.
I'm hoping the modem is better in the 8, I despise the modem in my 6 with an unyielding passion.
I'm torn about this, would really like to replace my 6 pro but this doesn't seem like a particularly big upgrade. The modem is essentially the same garbage as in the 6. Hopefully there is a trade-in deal to make it worthwhile otherwise I might be forced to temporarily switch to a Samsung. I do like the first screen though.
Same boat. There is enough about the p6p to want to ditch, but I want to stay with Android but don't know what would be the best to upgrade to. This Pixel 8 doesn't seem like the right device.
I like those corners a lot, seems like it feels great in your hand
It's also a bit smaller than the 7a! Its dimensions are believed to be 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9mm (vs 152 x 72.9 x 9 mm for the Pixel 7a): https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-8-could-be-lot-smaller-than-pixel-7/
is it smaller than pixel 6? If so, we might get the pixel 5 glory again
The Pixel 6a (even smaller than the Pixel 6) has these dimensions: 152.2 x 71.8 x 8.9 mm, so I'd like to say yes.
Ahhh this looks so good. Really tempted to replace my Pixel 5 with this.
If this has HDMI output over USB-C, I might be tempted to buy.
