The 8 pro is a fair upgrade from a 6 pro but the display is worse than the previous two generations. I'll be keeping my 6 pro
Pre-ordered a Pixel 8 Pro with the watch. I've had this OnePlus 7 Pro since it launched and I want the new features and a really fucking good camera. I'd also like to get away from OnePlus' bullshit, but all in all it's been a fantastic phone. Still very fast.
What do you don't like about OnePlus? It's been a while since I've used their original Android flavour on mine
Their built in apps, the red cable stuff, the multi-press screenshot gesture that I can't disable.
The phone is still crazy fast for it's age, but I wanted a no-compromise camera, and 5g, wireless charging, the call screening stuff.
Basically it's just time for an upgrade.
At these prices, you're better off buying an iPhone. Check Google's trade-in price, it's a goddamn insult.
I traded my pixel 6 for a pixel 7 for $20 in last year's black Friday sale. If they do that again, I'll upgrade. If not, I'll stick with what I got and see if next year's is any better.
They have still yet to make a new one that makes me even consider upgrading from my 3. They still haven't made a just as small one (except for the 4a, but that came out not long after I got my 3 so I didn't upgrade).
I love the look of the 3. Not the big one, the small one. It’s awesome
Yeah that's the one I've got, I've never been a big fan of big phones, No new (non specialist) phone has been as small or smaller since which also adds to why I'm still on the pixel 3.
Are they going to bring the manual camera controls (shutter speed, iso, etc) to the Pixel 7 Pro?
Thats the one thing the camera app needs. 3rd party manual cameras can't seem to access the two other lenses. At least the ones I've tried. And they also don't have the nice AI processing.
For that matter, it looks like the 8 Pro can do 1-for-1 pixel raw files instead of pixel binning down to 25 MP like on the 7 Pro. That's just software, too. They need to bring that to the 7 Pro.
I can get $420 (maybe) as a trade-in credit, and get free Pixel Buds Pro which Ive been thinking of buying anyway. But thats still $380 for some better software.
At least it doesn't appear to have this crappy curved glass! Why google thought that was ever a good idea is beyond me.
Glad it has an actual display as compared to all those previous imposters /s.
I'd look at these just to take advantage of pKVM.
