Google Pixel 8 series

[Aicirt]

Tested demo set…. Camera still as solid. HDR is very good …. Taken same photo side by side with iPhone 15 pro max. P8P better….

But maybe demo set issue…. Occasional stutter can be felt and seen when opening and closing of apps.

Given the benchmarks leak… it’s close to 8plus gen one….overall feeling not as smooth as nothing phone2. Those who uses p7p will not feel much different in terms of overall experience. But a noticeable difference in photo quality is there and some editing tweak fun

Man I love and hate the strict USB-C on the Pixel series. Just in case anyone trying to buy those portable battery bank with built in cable, majority of them not compliant to the USB-C standards.

You plug in your own cable no problem, but the built in cable of the USB won't work. How I know? Tried 3 different brand, the built in cable won't even work on the Pixel. But the good thing I guess no need to scared our Pixel burnt by bad cables?

If I find one that works I'll report.

Worst thing is that the USB C slot is soldered onto the main board, means need to change the entire board if charging port has issue.

Demo app issue, Google screwed up this part. Not a good representation.

Nah, even if the cable spoilt still can use the USB-C ports on the bank. Not huge issue, just that the cable not even working is a problem.

Oops I was talking about the port on Pixel 8.

Yeah I've encountered power bank not charging the same phone after changing from 1 Custom ROM to another, weird. Software issue ba.

Yup, probably a combination. Software block the hardware from charging?
