No issues here. Is nearly matching speeds with my other devices on my local T-Mobile network. Even if it is a touch slower, I have not hit a wall that indicates my phone is slow.
Got a tip for us?

I’m on T-Mobile also not experiencing any slowdowns anything slower than my iPhone, or other phones that I’ve had previously… I think this is the best Pixel ever released… and I’m only on day one lol… comfortable to hold . Perfect, the brightness is good really really happy.
First, where is yours? I like shared the other day
But here it is again.
::EDIT:: I did refine it,
Apologies, you did share. I really like the Material U matching of icons!
Something whackier;

Nova launcher with nothing icons scrolling dock couple of folders on the second dock page... Btw 4-hour screen on time with 45% left on battery...

Pixel 8 holds it's own in my shooting style, pixel 3 is still amazing me!
Notes on the new image sets

Notes on the new image sets
- BANG! No focal point was touched, let the camera do what it wanted. Pixel 8 was closest to reality in color and exposure
- Coffee - Pixel 3, 7a and 13 pro closest to true color
- Coffee shop interior 1 - Pixel 7A closest in true color
- Outdoor brewery - All did well in color reproduction
- Beer shot - I liked all Pixel phones color temperature and say it was closer to reality
- Inside coffee shop - Pixel 7a and 8 were closest. iPhones too warm
- Beer and overhead gantry - 15 pro captured exposure and colors more accurately.
- Inside Coffee shop. Pixel 3 used ultra wide FRONT camera, 7a was closest to color for my eye
- Inside brewery - Pixel 8 was best for color and best shot IMO
- Beer - Pixel 8 and 15 were close, 8 Pro wins for focus
- Beer in light - My angle was different. I can’t pick a winner because photos were in different spots
- And 13 - Buildings and clouds - I would say iPhone was more accurate, but I like both shots for different reasons.
- Green space - Both too close for me to decide. Both similar on color profile.

Ya I second this question.
I have an unopened box of the Spigen screen protectors for my 8 Pro, but haven't put one on yet because some people were saying they are bad and physically mess up the glass border of the screen?
So whats the scoop. Can someone please elaborate further, and maybe show some proof to back up those claims?
Which phone was closest to the lighting in the scene... I'm looking at all the photos a couple of preferences in different situations different phones but TBH they all look great to me..New batch of photo tests uploaded.

I forgot to add that. I will respond after reviewing my audio notes lol
::EDIT:: @Bkdodger I edited the post to outline what I noted in the field.
Long story short, the newest phones are so dang close, it almost comes down to personal opinion these days. So good overall.

This phone is performing better than my P7.
The few webpages that froze up 90% of the time so far haven't.on this one.
The fingerprint sensor works as well though it hasn't been 100% . But since I've redone my thumb print it has been better. I made a thumb and index 👉 print.
The P7 was too quick to time out for me to even make a print but I managed to get a couple after multiple tries and the sensor just didn't work on it.

Nothing™ Ear headphones are my goto platform independent headphones these days. Almost got the phone 2, just really want to stick with Google for stock Android. Maybe the Nothing phone 3?

Yes, hopefully good upgrade on Nothing 3 and camera upgraded since I saw plenty of complaints with latest..
Thank you for the notes on the pics…and so close with many of today’s phones but nice to see the Pixel 3 holding its own …I’d like to videotape you walking around with them phones haha
I have to say I really like my 8 Pro. It's just comfortable and I like Material UI, and how the gestures and navigating the OS is.
It seems like a bigger upgrade from the 7 Pro. The nice flat screen and better [H]ardware seem more evident, it's just a better overall phone no question. This isn't just a side - grade to me. But it's not night and day better, no phone is nowadays, but it's a decent upgrade still.

I'm a little late, but here is my home screen... and I'm still loving this phone! I don't miss my iPhone and hoping I won't!
Except for the display issue I've had a great experience with the 8 Pro.
I would like to know this too. A Google search brought up versions that have been modified, not sure if I trust those.....
Yeah, I would like to know this too, as that is the type of screen protector I have and prefer, though mine isn't sitting perfectly flush, it is lifting around the edges, but I'm keeping it on because I don't want any scratches and the Spigen was going to be my next option.
Not really set it up properly just shoved my most used apps on the main page lol. This is an AI wallpaper I made.
